I really wanted to give them a better review but I can't. I have visited them 4 times now and all 4 times the place is FILTHY DIRTY!!!!!!!!!!! I first thought they were short on staff but that wasn't the case the last two times! Lots of people standing around!! I figured if the front lobby and behind the counter was gross where customers can see, then I'm sure the back is disgusting too!!! No more business from our family or anybody I talk to!!! read more

Ordered delivery for soup and a smoothie. They never mention size of smoothie on the app put they do show a picture which completely misrepresents the size you actually get. Would have never ordered it if I knew it was going to be in a kids cup especially for the price read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE BECAUSE ITS QUITE AND CLEAN. The food is delicious ( grilled cheese sandwich). And, you have got to try the papaya and green tea to drink. It is truly the best tea I've ever had in my life. The Customer Service is above and beyond. Thank you so much for the great memories and I will definitely be back many times in the future. If I can give you a 10 star for this restaurant, I would because it's well deserved. Congratulations to the management staff, you know how to run this restaurant!!!! read more

The service was amazing! I love potato soup and unfortunately they didn't have it. However, the attendant was amazing at recommending one of the fall soups. The service is so friendly and so nice absolutely amazing. Customer service and food recommendations were on point recommended the barbecue sandwich and it was so good but onions were nice and crispy with a good crunch not soggy the soup was nice and hot. I love hot soup. It wasn't lukewarm or warm. It was hot absolutely wonderful will come again. Isabella was great. That girl deserves a raise. read more

New menu is horrible and the staff is beyond rude especially through the drive through.

I love panera and usually have great experiences but customer service at this location is horrible. Manager has a know it all rude attitude. She will be the reason my kids and I will never eat at this location. On top of that my husband said the men's restroom was disgusting. Disappointed of this location overall and will not be returning! read more

got the fuji apple "chicken" salad. When I got home and opened it up there was no chicken or pretty much anything on it. 98% lettuce, will not be going back here read more

Love this location! Workers are always super helpful and nice, food is always great! I placed an online order at the wrong location one time, I always go here so it was my mistake I placed it at the wrong one. Curtis the manager knew I always come here and decided to make my order for me anyway free of charge. Super sweet he didn't have to do that! read more

I've eaten at Panera/Paradise for years and alway enjoy the food options. Last night's dinner was not what I normally experience. Ordered the Heritage ham and Swiss. When I got home and opened the wrapper, I noticed there was no lettuce or tomato, but was hungry and took a bite. The big surprise was what I thought was ham and roast beef mixed together. Upon further inspection I found that the ham was pinkish and brown and to me that means it's bad. I called the store who apologized and said they'd make me a new one. I drove back for the principle because too often our orders are messed up (not just from Panera). The female looked at the sandwich and said it didn't look right and I told her it also wasn't made right. She came back with a free cookie and said they threw away the meat and talked to the preppers. I asked her how do the preppers and the staff who make the sandwiches miss the obvious rotting meat? She said she talked to them and they've had problems with the preppers. Anyways I took the new sandwich and left. Tried to eat it, but I couldn't. Lost my appetite and desire to ever order that again. Look at the meat before you eat. read more

Panera Bread - Salad Near Me - Queen Creek, Arizona

I don't expect the product to look like the menu picture but this was an epic failure. I ordered the Green Goddess Chicken Caprese Melt Stacked sandwich. The list of ingredients sounds great but what I received was so skimpy I thought it was a mistake. All of the listed ingredients were one-third of what was shown. This was the first time for me at Panera -Queen Creek and I will never go back. Total rip off! read more

We ordered Chicken noodle soup ( no chicken). We also ordered a strawberry blueberry chicken salad ( no chicken at all). Are you cutting back on the chicken? Very disappointed . read more

When you order a half sandwich, they give you a quarter. This place is way overpriced and not worth it for food you can make at home.

The last time I wrote a review on this Panera the service was so bad that it was actually the restaurant that prompted me to get a Yelp in the first place just to write a bad review However, yesterday I had the best experience with the location that changed my mind. I never thought I would go back but yesterday I ordered POSTMATES. My order arrived within 25 mins. Everything was warm and the order was correct. I go the frontera chicken sandwich which was one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. I also had the cheesy broccoli soup in a bread bowl and bread bowls just make a meal, truly, I mean it gave me renaissance festival vibes! Then I finished it off with the kitchen sink cookie which was so soft and satisfied my sweet tooth. Thank you Panera you're the bomb dot com and I will be back! read more

I haven't been to a Panera in a while so I was surprised by their new experience. I was kind of confused if I could approach the front and order or if I needed to order on a kiosk. I proceeded with the kiosk and ordered to go. I ordered an Asian sesame chicken salad with a side of spicy peanut dressing. The salad was fresh and delicious but I was super disappointed that there was no cilantro on my salad. I literally almost went back for a side of cilantro. Sadly this wasn't the only problem with my order. I should have gone back in and followed up but honestly who has time for that? I also ordered two soups, the summer corn chowder and the broccoli and cheese. One soup barely filled half of the soup cup. Such a huge disappointment. The included bread was very hard and chewy and didn't seem fresh. I'm talking hurt your jaw chewy and no chocolate chip cookies were packaged in my to go order. No cookies?! I wanted to love it, because I'm super close to this location. But all in all I was disappointed. read more

We got a salad for my daughter's lunch. The meat on the salad was mushy and gross. It was supposed to be chicken but didn't resemble meat. Also they gave her the wrong side item, she can't eat bread because if gluten intolerance. She had to throw it out and went without food for the day. I stopped in to ask for another salad and they never even apologized. Clerk asked if I had called to report it.They ultimately gave me a refund but they weren't the least bit sorry that she didn't get to eat and that I was unconvinced by having to stop in there and wait in line. Never eating here again. read more

Not sure why there's so many negative reviews! I've been here multiple times and I have always gotten courteous service and delicious food. My go-to is the bacon turkey bravo sandwich on country rustic. I would agree that the prices are a little high for what you're getting though, as the ingredients are pretty basic. Nonetheless, I love the food here and will be a returning customer for a long time. :) read more

Very friendly, helpful & efficient staff! Great food as always! The best macaroni & cheese, also really like seeing new menu options.

I haven't been to Panera in awhile, but decided to stop by tonight. I was (not) greeted by the cashier staring at me while I was left to wonder if she was ready for me to order. She was not friendly at all and after explaining that I haven't been here since the pandemic precautions have changed things, she failed to tell me where to pick up the order when it's ready. Once I asked about where to pick up, and the food was ready, it was subpar. A small dollop of tuna on the half sandwich. Literally maybe spread out to cover half of the slice of bread. Not worth the money. And I'm aware that staffing issues are the norm nowadays but you have standards for employees don't you Panera? read more

Stale bread, lacking service DONT BOTHER First let me say, this is my first time to this panera, but its my daughters favorite place and we have been to many in Socal. I rarely leave bad reviews, but the lady who took my order seemed confused and missed an item from my order. When I picked up the order, luckily I noticed. I pointed it out and was sent back to the counter to pay for it. Note, she forgot to add it, and the signs say 'we want to get your order right', if we miss an item we will give you a treat (paraphrase( Its was late and frustrating, no real attempt at an apology. When We got back to the hotel room to eat, the bread was stale- yuck. I thought that was Paneras thing, fresh bread. Thats always been my experience. On the plus side, they got the food out quickly and the guy who prepared the food was the only bright spot there. Feel bad for him as noone else seems like they are even trying. read more

First, we ordered pick two. Asked for our sandwiches to be on a baguette and was told that as per management our sandwiches couldn't be put on that type of bread. We ordered them anyway. When our order came out there was an extra piece of bread...guess what type, yes a baguette. We wanted to dine in, our order came out to go. When we spoke to management she offed to bring us out plates, instead of taking our order back and correcting it. I told her that when i order a salad it was mixed just right when received on a plate and the soup was smaller than when order for dine in. She said she was sorry and if i wanted a pastry to compensate for the mistake....really I eat at Panera quite frequently at other locations and have never been unsatisfied. I will not be returning to the Queen Creek location read more

I wish I could give it no stars because that would truly reflect my experience at this location. First off, upon entering there is maybe 1 or 2 tables not busy at all but the entire dining room is somehow filthy. Absolutely no staff around. No one cleaning. We cleaned our own table and sanitized. My family and I had a very simple order. No extra steps needing to be made EXCEPT an allergy that required me to have something off of my sandwich. We get buzzed over to go pick up our food. Here is where the true showing of just how unorganized and incompetent this group of employees and the managers are. Not only did they forget half of my husband meal, my child's entire meal, and somehow what was supposed to be on the rest of my sandwich but I had to go back 4 times just to get it all and send mine back 3!!! I was to the point I no longer wanted to stay and eat. I will never be back at this Panera. We have nothing but bad experiences here. It was definitely a lack of better judgement to step foot back into here considering all the past experiences I had just let go. Save your money and save your time. With so many other places there in the Marketplace you're better off spending it somewhere worthwhile and not this trash pit of a poorly run, mediocrely made, and ignorantly managed restaurant. Everything you get down to the soup and "pastas" are frozen anyway! read more

I usually look forward to eating at Panera Bread at another location in Chandler. I stopped by for dinner Wednesday around 8:00PM and tried to order the seasonal salad, they were out of some ingredients, then tried another salad, out of strawberries, so I ordered my go to chicken walnut salad sandwich, when they brought it to me, it was a bunch of lettuce and virtually no chicken salad. I took it back and asked if that was normal and they said they were also out of chicken salad and they tossed the sandwich in the trash. They did make me a turkey sandwich, since they were not Out of turkey. I will not return to the location in QC and I recommend you go before 5:00 so they are not out of the food listed on the menu, or go to another location. read more

The food is good and the service is quick and tastes great. The restaurant had a lot of dirty tables, no ice, and ice tea empty around 3 pm after I filled my cup. We had to ask the counter for ice and I told another customer when I was leaving to do the same. read more

Their food looks amazing in their pictures but have never been good when I have been there. There Mac n cheese is ALWAYS HALF WAYS! Their sandwiches have hardly anything in them, tomates are ALWAY mushy! Never a good experience which is very sad! Only positive are their drinks! read more

Do not count on them to be timely. I placed an order 6 hours in advance for pick up. Arrived timely and they had not even started the order. 30min late! read more

the Mac and cheese was delicious and the sandwiches were a dream that you could eat and if I could I would work there for free food the best food in queen creek is Panera read more

WOW I love this Place! My sandwich was made incorrectly and not only was it remade immediately, I was thanked for my patience and the manager hooked it up with a sweet treat. Thank you for going above and beyond today. I appreciate such a caring staff. read more

Awful service with Curbside. I text them saying I was ready and it said they would be right out. 15 minutes later I go inside and they said that they have been busy so they were running behind. They go to look for my order and someone had already taken it. I had to wait another 10 minutes for it to be made. No apologies. Nothing. Very rude staff. Will definitely not return ! read more

Worst breakfast I have ever had from Panera. First, they no longer serve oatmeal. I'm a vegan, not a whole lot of options on their menu. I got a cinnamon crunch bagel. Ate the top first. When I started eating the bottom there was garlic and sesame seeds all over it. Talk about an awful taste to go with Cinnamon. Obviously it was sitting in a bin it should not have been in. Really disappointed! read more

Worst grilled cheese I've ever had. Tasted as if it was microwaved. Ordered it with soup and didn't even give utensils. Ordered a fruit cup for an extra $2, and was half full. Huge disappointment and a complete waste of $13. I used to love Panera but won't be back after this. read more

How have I not yelped this place yet? It is 1 of 3 places I go in the fabulous Queen Creek-San Tan Valley metroplex where my dining selection isn't handed to me from a drive-up window. I go here at least once a week. I am not typically a fan of salad, but upon further reflection, I think I am not a fan of salads I make at home. Actually I am not a fan of anything I make at home, hence, I eat out. On the rare occasion I will enjoy a sandwich here, but typically it is just the salad. I was lured by the famous marketing slogan "limited time offer" and tried the tomato mozzarella sandwich. Just a half, on wheat. It was good and the basil leaf inside gave it a strong bite of flavor. Tasty. Next, I was happy to see the return of my favorite salad from last year (also a limited time offer...) the summer berry blend..which really, why is it limited time? They have a side of fruit salad you can get any time. It is just a green salad with dressing and the fruit on top - but somehow magic is formed when they name it the summer berry blend and I am drawn to it instantly. Speaking of sides that are excellent, go for the Key West Tuna. I know, tuna is a bit boring and I wouldn't go to a restaurant and order a tuna sandwich - that is a rare treat I can make at home without too much trouble. But I tried a "sample" of the Key West Tuna one day and wow! Incredible! It is mixed with shell pasta and very tasty. I have ordered a green salad with dressing and requested that added to the top (rather than the standard tuna salad they can make). Yum! The catch is the Key West tuna is only out on Saturday and Sunday...or maybe it is Friday and Saturday - go on Saturday and it is there for sure... Of course you have to get a cookie. They are slap-ya-mama good. The famous chocolate chips are my favorite, but some of the others are not bad either. They usually have free samples on the counter. Give them all a shot! Plus they have a great reward program - 10 meals and you get a free salad & drink combo. Easy to rack up the points here as much as I visit. The staff is always friendly and provides fast service. Definitely put it on your QC rotation. read more

Have been going to this Panera Bread for the last couple of years. Tonight has made my night, had ordered some food (my mother has diabetes and I'm working late tonight). The door dash folks had delivered the incorrect order! I called the store and spoke with a very nice lady who wrote down my phone number saying that they will call Door Dash and call me back. Less than 20 minutes later, our food is dropped off and Curtis the manager of the store calls me. He said they remade the entire order and he delivered the food himself so we didn't have to wait even longer for the door dash service to deliver our food. I was speechless yet so thankful! This is top notch service! I called Curtis back by the way, because I wanted to give him a tip for his service, but he replied so modestly, that he just wants to make sure his customers are taken care of. Thank you so much again Curtis, and thank you to the entire Panera Bread Team! We are your customers for life! ^_^ A++++++++ read more

They were out of baguettes when I ordered... They were also out of the bread that goes on my sandwich. No big deal. Got my food to go and walking out the door an employee is eating a French baguette and asks another employee to give her another French baguette. Check my bag, none in there. Got back to the hospital and noticed there's no spoon for the soup. The large Mac n Cheese bowl ($8.49) is half full. I get to deliver all the good news to my pregnant wife. Thanks Panera! read more

Stopped in here for an impromptu breakfast. We were actually headed to Starbucks, but couldn't find it quickly and this place was right in front of us. So in we go. This has a similar format and menu to all Paradise Bakery outlets. We got a "Babka" (which is sort of like a chocolate cinnamon roll without the cinnamon), and a coffee was purchased. Everything was pretty good. I did think the staff here was better than most locations. More enthusiastic and helpful. Service was quick, too. read more

9am on a Saturday 2 other customers and out of bagels and cream cheese. No advice if more was going to be made for the day as only a few bagels existed read more

Their Flatbreads taste like the $.99 Tostinos... soooo gross. Don't waste your money.

My husband and I have ordered take out here quite a few times in 2018-2019. Each time the food is made right, on time, and tastes pretty good. The cost can get a little pricey at times, but cheaper places seem to lack the quality I want in food service these days. read more

Very substandard business..The salads are NEVER the same; NEVER look like the pictures and frequently missing eggs, avocados and 1/2 the lettuce. Tonight was the last straw! Will not go back; we have spend hundreds in this place and often get salads twice a week; tonight, hardly any lettuce, 1/2 hardboiled egg , and TWO, count them 1-2 !!! pieces of avocado!!! the pickled onions were literally dumped in a heap at the bottom of the box. There is no excuse for this pathetic lack of continuity . Good bye Panera! read more

Ordered the turkey sandwich, and it appeared to be some sort of pressed or rolled turkey. Not what I'm used to seeing in a deli sandwich. I always enjoy their vegetable soup, but I won't order another turkey sandwich from them read more
