    BLT and Chicken Noodle Soup
    Alex W.

    La Real is a solid spot with huge portions and reasonable prices, making it a great value. The food is good -- I had a burrito when I went, and it was tasty and filling. Perfect for a casual, satisfying meal without breaking the bank.

    I would personally like to call out Michelle and Jessy for their outstanding customer service.
    Macaleb K.

    Loved this location so much! The manager Jessy was so kind and the team member Michelle has incredible customer service would absolutely love to come back again!

    Upon arriving at Panera, I was not greeted or even acknowledged. I was not asked if I needed help and as far as I'm concerned, I must have been invisible. When patrons after me walked in, they were greeted and helped. I placed my order through the kiosk because again, no one even acknowledged me standing there for five min looking at the menu. My food was ready in about 7 mins and the food itself was pretty good except I didn't notice any avocado on my sandwich. I ordered the Broccoli and Cheddar soup and the Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt. My food was warm by the time I got to enjoy it, but was still very good. The restaurant was clean. I would not go back to this location as I felt unwelcome.

    Apple and kids Mac & Cheese

    Great lunch spot, it has indoor, outdoor seating and a drive through so if you have the app you can quickly swing through and grab a meal. Staff was pleasant and the place was clean. I like the whole Apple that comes with the kids meal but wish they would quarter it.

    This looks more like a slider than a sandwich, I do not recommend and will not be back.

    I am visiting Portland for work and decided to stop here before heading in. Yesterday I got the chipotle chicken and avocado breakfast sandwich. This morning I did the same thing. My issue is the sandwich this morning is 1/3 the size as the one I got yesterday. I went to speak with a manager, she told me it was just a small batch of dough that they cut into 1/3's and nothing she can do. I'm sorry this is not acceptable Panera! Can I give you 1/3 of the sale price of $7.00? I think moving forward for the rest of the week and subsequent visits I will take my business to elsewhere.

    Green goddess cobb salad with chicken and Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt
    Jessica L.

    Lots of parking nearby. The inside is quite spacious and clean.... A good, quiet place to study or read a book! I don't go to Panera often so was a bit surprised by how high the prices were for sandwiches and salad. Had the You Pick Two with Green goddess cobb salad with chicken and Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt. Surprisingly filling and tasted delicious. Had no issues with the service. There is both hot and cold water available if you want!

    Poorly maintained to go order pickup shelves
    Stephen K.

    I'd not been to Panera in years, and stopped in to see if they'd gotten any better. They haven't. Service is passable, and the food is about the same. Nothing to write home about, and definitely nothing worth going out of your way for. This location has a bench right in front of a "to go" order pickup shelf, and if you need to pick up a to-go order, this makes things convenient.

    Joke bowl and will be showing this complaint to  corporate. This was done on 6/27/24 around 140pm.

    Left a review on the watered down broccoli cream of cheddar supposed soup on the website. Can't leave another one, please take a look at this supposed bowl of broccoli soup. Told them don't want watered down soup. The order taker wouldn't talk. So they decided to give me this less than bowl. When I took it in, she wouldn't really look, but just said it was 3 ladels. Won't go back, I've gotten their soup on 5 different times and this is a joke. I guess the manager doesn't buy the food. I recognized her voice. She needs to be replaced!

    Seriously? These are supposed to be egg sandwiches!

Close enough to PDX hotels to Uber. The food was spectacular. The salads are huge. The ribs looked amazing. The lamb meatloaf was extremely tasty and the chicken pesto fettuccine was able to be made without fettuccine for me with just extra veggies and it was stellar. They did not even balk at substituting the extra veggies.. the swordfish special with the mushroom risotto and grilled asparagus was awesome. Everything was cooked to perfection and our waiter. Torben was the highlight. He had a wonderful, can-do attitude, very accommodating and extremely friendly.

It came out well done, (along with the elote "corn ribs", which were pretty dank, admittedly.) I mentioned it to the bartender, and she promptly offered to have it re-made. Cool. Let's do it. 15 minutes later I said to my wife - there's no way it's medium rare if it's taking this long. Lo and behold, another WELL DONE waste of steak, and waste of time. Got it wrapped up to go and decided to call it a night. Got home and realized they gave us blue cheese dressing. Can't catch a win to save my life tonight. These days we seldom go out to eat, and it's a bummer when we can't even get a decently prepared steak on the off chance we do. It was the second time I tried to get steak here, both times it was almost entirely GREY, in spite of clearly requesting medium rare. For the money, it should be done correctly.

Service was just as good. Our waiter was attentive, easygoing, and made everything feel relaxed and fun. We ordered the cauliflower, shrimp skewers, fondue, and a basket of fries--every single thing was delicious. But the fries? Next level. Kind of like jojos, but WAY better--crispy, flavorful, and honestly unforgettable. And the Old Fashioned completely stole the show. Easily one of the best I've had. Definitely adding O'Dear to the regular rotation.

When I used the restroom to wash my hands, there were no paper towels in the dispenser or an air-dryer. . The food was delicious. And suffered no ill effects. I did ask for a table knife to cut the large portions of meat in my dish. And I was given a plastic fork. While we were eating, a group of people came in, and the server told them they were "Closed". One of the men was walking out upset when the server said, 'he was kidding'. Wow! How unprofessional. Bottom line: I like giving favorable reviews, and it pains me to give a 1-2 star review, but it is necessary in hopes they make corrections or people find somewhere else to eat. Two lunch-size meals came to just over $50.00. The overall experience was meh . Unable to recommend this restaurant to friends and family, based on our experience.

This is another one of those rare reviews I write where I regret we can't give more than 5-stars! Wilder is truly one of the greatest restaurants in all of the Portland metro. Discovered on a random Saturday morning months ago, we stumbled in for a late brunch... it was a knock-your-socks off moment. First, their Benedict is absolutley delectable! We all know I'm a sucker for a good Benedict but I'll put this one in my top-3 EVER! Absolutely wonderful! Secondly, having returned multiple times for brunch, I can confidently say, you can't choose wrong from their menu! During brunch one morning, we came to the realization that Wilder offers dinner, as well! Sure enough, we were back within the week. First thing we noticed was gluten-free fried chicken... what? Who would have thought?!?! Of course, it was on the list + their Steak Tartare. I'll just say, we couldn't have ordered better. Their chicken is literally, out of this world. Having lived in the southeast of the country twice now, I feel as though I've experienced some pretty darn good fried chicken. However, the Wilder's Fried Chicken was absolutely enchanting, every bite! The Steak Tartare was served beautifully, with a yolk on top... how much better does it get? Ambiance is cozy and romantic. Bright and intimate in the mornings for brunch, dark and moody in the evenings for dinner. It strikes the perfect mood, every visit. We would be remiss not to mention their fabulous staff. Each and every member of their team is a delight. Professional, kind, friendly, and engaging. Nothing but positive interactions, every single time. Drinks are wonderful, bar staff is obviously knowledgable. Great selection of spirits and wine. Food is to die for. Staff is top-notch! Wilder has earned nothing less than a perfect 5-star rating. Truly in our Top 3 favorite restaurants in all of Portland and permanently on our weekly list of places to visit. As it has started to become our Friday "date night" spot, it certainly makes me anxious for the weekends to get here! Go enjoy, you won't regret it! Thank me later!
