    The Kitchen Sink Cookie
    Ta M.

    This is my local Panera spot. Been coming here for a few years now. I have always had a good experience whenever I go. Now these dipper sandwiches that are currently in the menu are definitely a hit in my book. Today I popped in & dined in for lunch, I have always been obsessed with their creamy tomato soup so it was a no brainer for me to go for the Chicken Pesto Ciabatta Dipper combo. I requested extra basil pesto spread in my sandwich and they hooked me up just right! The sandwich had all of my favs, grilled chicken, two types of cheeses and a yummy spread. You about a half cup of soup to dip with and that combo tasted amazing. I didn't realize it came with chips, so I ordered a cookie as my dessert. Not sure how long these combos will last but I will be back to try a different one. This location always lives up to the Panera standard & name, pop in and try something on the menu that you haven't tried yet, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Make sure you also download the app, this meal was only $6.66 with my rewards & discounts in the app.

    Closed pick up door. 6 people are waiting while I took this picture. Absolutely ridiculous.

    Worst pb location. If you're picking up an online order, they make you stand at a door, you have no idea if they are working on it, because there is no one there to greet you. Just a line of customers greeted by a closed door. Orders are never ready so everyone is just standing at that closed door. The food is fine, just always check your food if you're picking up. They rush your order while you're in front of the closed door and make mistake after mistake after mistake.

    location for online orders.  very tacky. Maybe it's time to call health department.

    Panera you can do better!!!!! Improve: Food, Service, & Ambiance Ordered online which was a seamless process. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Where this experience pivots is going to a back door to the kitchen and knocking for pickup. They've got to make a better plan as this TACKY and not representative of the image it wants to create[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I declined the sandwich in presentation of my entire experience. Staff 1/5 was an excellent experience the other 4 couldn't be bothered with the day or customers patiently waiting for online orders. Do better Panera. On a positive side, I've experienced better service and food was 4/5 while dining in. Again, DO better as you've absorbed other recently closed locations for the area.

    Broccoli Cheddar Soup instead of chicken and Cream of Chicken & Wild Rice Soup
    Simone L.

    This is the second time they messed up and sent me brocc and ched soup instead of chicken and wild rice. I will never order for delivery from them again. I'm not feeling well and was really looking forward to the soup and now my husband has to go in person to the store to get it instead of staying home and caring for me. Plus, they just threw my baguettes into the bag like pieces of trash. So my husband goes to the Panera location we ordered from and asks for a manager, after waiting almost 10 minutes, no one ever comes out so one of the cashiers ended up taking care of the issue but she even said "my manager isn't coming out". This is ridiculous customer service. Panera has lost another customer.

    Smokehouse BBQ Chicken Sandwich
    Connie B.

    I'm sad because I love this location and I always order online. This time, the Smokehouse BBQ chicken sandwich had mostly bread, sauce and little chicken. That's not a sandwich! Panera you've to do better!

    Strawberry Mint Charge! Definitely a must
    Tonja H.

    Panera has great soups and the bread is the DEVIL in a good waySeriously, if you're looking for great service always with a smile then this location is for you. Have they went down a little with the portions control, absolutely but if it's brought to their attention they will try to rectify the situation. For that they get an 8/10! The Autumn Squash soup is one of my favorites (sadly I devoured before I remembered to take a pic) always hearty and flavorful! Absolutely love the added touch of the 4 pumpkin seeds!

    Caesar Salad with Chicken  with bread
    John H.

    Salad was really good but not even amount of chicken with lettuce way to much bread was hard. Pizza had no sauce and cheese was not good but I would recommend the salad though. And I also had a blueberry bagel that tasted stale don't get it trust me.

    I've been coming here since they've been open. I must admit they started a little slow and that's why I waited quite some time to do my Yelp review but I am proud to say they are moving fast and keeping up w the demands now! The food has always been good here and you still get all the same options as you do the other panera locations. I do like this Panera Bread because it's spacious a has many seating options and different seating arrangements so that way you can sit wherever your heart desires whether you're hosting a study group, spending family time or a dinner for one, they can accommodate it. I liked it there because their beverage station is always clean and the condiments always full. Looking forward to returning back there pretty soon to get my favorite Chicken and Wild Rice Soup & Figi Apple Chicken Salad!

    BBQ Noodles

    The food wasvok. I ordered the BBQ NOODLE SOUP. It was bland. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor is updated and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The waitress came immediately and food served in less than (5) minutes.

    Wish I could give them zero stars. The food is what you expect from Panera. The service is the WORST.

    Finding the restaurant itself was easy, but parking was another story -- the one‑way street and…read moresmall lot made it a challenge. When we walked in, the cashier immediately asked whether we were dining in or taking out. We chose to dine in. We ordered the roast beef sandwich and the pastrami sandwich, along with potato pancakes. They brought out a full assortment of pickles and pickled vegetables. Unfortunately, they only offer one diet option: Dr Pepper Zero, no other diet sodas from the fountain or in bottles. The potato pancakes were a disappointment -- mostly batter with very little shredded potato. The pickled vegetables also lacked flavor and didn't really taste pickled. Our table wasn't cleared at any point during the meal, and the waiter stood nearby waiting for us to finish, which felt a bit uncomfortable. The desserts looked amazing, but we were too full to try them. We also couldn't take anything to go since we had plans for the rest of the day and didn't want it sitting in the car. Next time, we'll come back specifically to try the desserts.

    I am from Philadelphia and grew up on AUTHENTIC NYC style Jewish Delis. I moved to B'more in 2015…read moreand was shocked how lacking the Deli scene was; especially considering it's Jewish population. When Essen FIRST opened I was relieved...finally a solid Deli. However, as you know it slowly deteriorated until I stopped patronizing it. I was initially happy to see it changed ownership. Reading the reviews however, it seems it is continuing to be SUBPAR! The Management apologies are scripted(cut & paste) for goodness sakes!! I think I'll pass! Fortunately, when I go back home periodically, I have several solid authentic options.
