Very disappointed Panera. A huge banner is display in front of the building "dinning in open". Me and my moms decide to has lunch there. There was a couple seat and eating when we got in. I ordered and confirm with the employee if is ok to seat and eat inside (102 degrees outside by the way) he said yes. All cool, BUT when I get the food they gave it us in a bag like a to go order. I said we order to eat here and the supervisor say: no dinning area is close and shows me a paper print from a computer than say "just to go or mobile orders". I tell him but the other clients were able to eat here and you have a huge banner out side that says dinner room open and the cashier confirm me that too, that what you have is a print peace of paper than saying other thing. He's answer: well we just change our mind. And just like that they kick my mom and I out. Bad Panera very bad ... read more

A pic of my receipt along with was in my salad. My personal opinion is if you are going to charge so much, then please make it worth it. There needs to be some sort of QUALITY check done on ALL orders before they go out to your customers. read more

The customer service at the Riverbank location is always outstandin. Joslyn at the front counter makes me feel warmly welcomed by politely and pleasantly greeting me while remembering my usual order. read more

Always good here. Today I went in for the baguette sandwich and I wasn't let down. It was hot and freshly made. I'll be back

My last two orders have been wrong. I ordered a grilled cheese and this is what I got. I called as soon as I got home and they said that they would write my name down and replace my order that was on 9/22. I came back today for my free meal I showed her a copy of my receipt and a photo of my "grilled" yet she still refused to replace my meal. read more

Panera Bread - Salad Near Me - Riverbank, California

We recently ordered a group meal from here- it was amazing. We ordered enough goodies to last two hungry guys and a gal for three days... I even called nearing our curbside pickup order time to add on a extra meal for my son. The funny part?! My husband arrived prior to the pick up time and everything was delivered exactly as I imagined! Above and beyond, guys! Super thankful! read more

Panera Bread - Premium Family Feast... and so much more! - Salad Near Me - Riverbank, California

Watch out if you use a debit card. They placed a hold on my card for twice the amount of the meal. There is nothing that can be done until the bank opens. They suggested I wait for 4 days to contact them again. Personally having my money on hold for their issue creates a serious problem. The steak sandwich was expensive and had a bad taste. There was not much to the sandwich and since we didn't want chips, they offered us bread. I love bread but a sandwich with a side of bread is ridiculous for almost $11.00. There smoothies were tasty but we're not worth the $5.00 for such a small cup. Don't think I will be going there again. Very disappointed! read more

I would suggest you call prior to going to this location. I can recall at least a half dozen times in the last year that the location was supposed to be open, yet it was closed. This past weekend, the sign on the front door says "Drive Thu Only". Go through the drive thru only to find out that the store closed at 2pm. They need to communicate better! read more

Could not wait for Panera bread to come to this location. Everything was fantastic. Food portion, quality, and size was perfect. Love the soup and salad plus their kitchen sink cookie for a terrific price. Will be back soon read more

Hopefully corporate see's this!! If the times for the drive through are good, it's a total lie!! You order your food then your sent to the parking lot to sit and wait a minimum of 20 minutes for your food!!! Ridiculous read more

I always come here on my lunches, food is always ready on time, and it's always great. Service is good, drive thru cashiers are quick and nice. Sometimes it's a little wait on drive thru lines but it's like that anywhere you go. Drinks here are amazing im obsessed. A little pricey however you pay for what you get. read more

We ordered our food @ 1001 am through themodile app & it said it would be ready by 1016 we gave them a few minutes after the time passed. We had to call wondering if we have to go in. They dont have The best customer service & all & the order did not come out till 1040. read more

Rude employees there. The people working in the back talking s--- about customers. They must want people to hear as their voices carry and it's definitely within ear shot. Won't be returning to this location. read more

Food is fresh. Service is quick. I've never been inside the restaurant but drive thru is quick.

Went there twice, first time they were rude but food was good. Went to this location another time and got a couple salads and pizza . The salads gave me and my daughter really bad diarrhea. We know it was the salads because we had what we normally have for breakfast and lunch the only difference was this meal. read more

I feel as if one star is too generous. Not only did they forget several items in my order well over a month ago but the manager "promised" to mail a voucher to my home that never arrived as I live far from this location. Let me just say I won't be returning to this particular location. I don't get the purpose of lying to a customer in that way. The food that I did manage to get tasted ok but it's just a basic salad and I could honestly make it at home. If you go here check your items throughly and make sure it's accurate. read more

I LOVE this location. The lady always working the drive thru at around 8am is sooo sweet. This location is relatively fast and has never messed up an order. Soooooo tasty! Busy, but never a long wait so fresh food, hot, but fast! read more

Customer Service is awesome! Manager Perla Went above and beyond and making sure my service was absolutely correct! And no I won't be back to this location often even if it's out of my way just knowing what a great staff is here! Thank you! read more

Panera's mac and cheese is soo good also the salads are the best salads I ever Had, but the cookies are old read more

I love Panera but my last order pick at the Riverbank store was a disappointment not only was the lettuce spoiled in my sandwich and even though I took out the lettuce the smell was in the bread so I couldn't eat it.. And my daughters avocado was also not good she was able to continue to eat her sandwich after removing the avocado. I haven't been back since but if I do decide to return I'll check all my sandwiches before leaving. read more

Went through the drive-through to get myself a chicken sandwich and Mac and cheese.not only did they try to overcharge me for something I didn't order. The chicken was still almost frozen when I bit into it! Mac and cheese was luke warm. The team over there needs to step up their game or the manager needs to hire more people cause they're definitely taking shortcuts to get that line moving faster. My only highlight of my meal was the free bread that they give you. read more

Very welcoming atmosphere. Indoor decor is very beautiful. Service was fast and friendly! Food came out great, enjoyed my meal and definitely will be coming back more often!!! read more

Panera Bread - Inside - Salad Near Me - Riverbank, California

Food was good as it is at any other Panera, however this was my first time inside and the workers seem to not like to clean very much. I was not greeted either.. After about a month of being open, you would think the staff would know what to do, but from what I've heard from my mom it is usually dirty and the staff doesn't offer to clean. Slightly disappointed, I will stick to the Modesto locations to dine in. read more

Placed an order they canceled said they called but did not leave message arrive and then they let me know they canceled. Thanks I drove over you could have let me know very disappointed read more

We've been waiting for a Panera in the City of Action for a long time. Definitely worth the wait. Awesome food, awesome service, especially for day one of being open. read more

I went the day they opened and everything was just right. Friendly staff, clean store, great food! So happy to have Panera in Riverbank!

I only order the steak and arugula sandwich and today I was sorely disappointed. At first I thought they forgot the cream cheese spread but after taking my sandwich apart found a smear on one side. The one thing that makes this my favorite sandwich! ‍ read more

Be careful when you order in the drive thru. Sandwiches are missing. I called and talk to one of associates and said in order to get refund I need to drive back to the place. Are you kidding me! I pay by credit card and I cant get refund over the phone? Sucks! read more

This place is amazing I had the best service ever from V Thank You so much for being so helpful and kind. Your customer service was excellent!! Your recommendation was on hit and I am so excited to come back for more great food and the best customer service I have had in a long time! Thank you again V!!!! read more

I never leave bad reviews because I always assume everyone is really trying to do their best, but I truly cannot say that about this Panera location! We have come in two weekends in a row between 8-9 am and they "don't have any soufflés" ready, or they are "sold out" already was the other thing we were told. How can that be? The stop selling them at 10:30 am, but they don't have any of them at 9 am because they aren't ready? On a Saturday in a busy chopping center?? The main reason we come here on the weekend is to order soufflés since they have paired down their breakfast menu, so they only have two items: sandwiches (with only bacon as a meat option) and soufflés. They did not offer to even start cooking any, nor was there an apology, just we don't have any and that's that. Also, we waited for several minutes before being greeted, we assumed they were short staffed, but nope, to our surprise there were 7 employees total working in the back! They were prepping a long line of pizzas for lunch, at 9 am, but they couldn't prepare/cook soufflés for the morning customers? Sadly we won't be going to this location anymore, we still drive to the McHenry location from now on. read more

This review isn't about service, food, etc. After all, a Panera is a Panera and I have always had pretty consistent experiences with their offerings and service. This 2 star rating is directed towards the short shrift of Panera as a company in the design of this particular restaurant. The outdoor section is an afterthought. A few tables with umbrellas on a concrete pad. I was at the Panera in Lodi the other day and the outdoor area was lovely with a garden-like environment. A shame that in Riverbank, Panera went so cheap with a store built from the ground up when they had the opportunity to do a little more. read more

Always gets your wrong order chicken noodle soup and grilled cheese sandwich got home and found I had been given a grilled cheese sandwich and Mac and cheese. Called back they said the get it correct next time. Have never been back . The Modesto location is the worst. Have received great service and food at Turlock and Crossroads locations. read more

I'm a fan of Panera, but I keep having poor experiences at this location. I'm know it's new and they've got to work the kinks out, but getting cold food after waiting over 5 minutes at the drive thru window is just unacceptable in my opinion. I won't stop coming to Panera, but I won't be coming back to the Riverbank location for a while. read more

This was the first time I went to Panera and it was a good meal, it was inventive and fresh and a pleasant experience instead of the the same old fast-"food" that's out there. I liked the drive thru... it wasn't too bad of a wait. The only problem is the cost. It was $39 for two small sandwiches, a large chicken noodle soup and a large mac and cheese read more

Very disappointed with our visit today... Nadia is the the one who "helped" us while my boyfriend order his chicken sandwich I tried to tell her a few times what I wanted got cut off all times so I ended up not getting anything she then did not give us a buzzer which I thought because they were slow we didn't need one so we sat and waited 35+ minutes before I went up and asked and they had no idea about our order and ended up finding it and it was cold so 0stars for Nadia read more

I love Panera but this one sucks! To start off, one of the cooks in the back was giving me the worst looks I've ever experienced. And I'm not one to complain about something so stupid but DAMN. Then to top that off, they made my order wrong. At that point I was so over being in this place I just left. Honestly, make the extra 15 mins drive to go to the one on mchenry. It's worth it. read more

Love that we have one in Riverbank.. I love pretty much everything in Panera..their soups are amazing, pastries are good, but the breads are my favorite.. I usually stop and get the full loaf and get it sliced to take for lunch during the week read more
