    I've always loved Panera. It's consistent, clean, and tastes good. My favorite is their autumn squash soup, which is seasonal. Recently I came here and there was no pumpkin seeds and cream garnishing the soup as it had in the past. Still tasted great. Got half soup half grilled cheese sandwich. That was tasty as well.

    My go to sandwich is the smoke house bbq chicken on a ciabatta roll. Ordering was easy through their mobile app. I even got a 30% discount as one of their rewards. I did modify my sandwich by adding extra items but they forgot to. It still tastes good. It was a busy day when I went.

    We love our neighborhood Panera. My go to place for soups and salads. We've always had great service. Not a long wait for pick up orders and they will communicate if they are taking longer than usual if they are busy. It does feel like a neighborhood cafe. People are comfortable and are not hurried meeting up with friends, family, business, etc. Truly a third place. Thank you.

    I know Panera has always been pricey, but come on this small container of mac & cheese for eight dollars if you're gonna charge this much at least fill it up!! Not to mention I ordered this and when I got my order, it wasn't included so I ended up having to wait more. Can you imagine my disappointment when I opened the container?

    This location has really gone downhill. The floor has been sticky or dirty on several occasions. The tables are not always the cleanest. This particular time I went, the cashier was super slow. And it wasn't a slow like she's new and doesn't know what she's doing yet, it was a slow like maybe she was high or something. they got my order wrong twice. And the sandwich that they did get right, is what you see in the picture....Burnt and gross. my broccoli and cheddar soup that is normally thick and creamy, was super watery and bland. Maybe they just had an off night. Idk. I won't be going back to find out.

    Good time

    Panera Bread - Above & Beyond! Just had one of the best experiences I've ever had at a Panera Bread--and it's all thanks to Chris behind the counter. From the moment I walked in, he was attentive, friendly, and genuinely made me feel welcome. You could tell he took pride in his work, and it showed in every detail. I ordered the chicken avocado sandwich, and let me tell you--absolute perfection. The flavors were fresh, balanced, and packed with that warm, satisfying comfort you hope for in every bite. Paired that with a giant cinnamon roll (because why not?), and it was honestly the best I've ever had--gooey, soft, just the right sweetness. I grabbed some chips and a large drink to round it out, and everything hit the spot. Chris didn't just serve food--he elevated the entire experience. It's rare to find someone who makes fast-casual dining feel this personal and polished. Panera, give this man a raise. If every visit was like this, I'd never eat anywhere else.

    My husband went to Panera this morning, and arrived before 10:00 am. The only thing I like from here are the baked soufflés...and apparently, so does everyone else. They are NEVER available, no matter how early we get there. They refuse to make more, even though they are so popular and sell out early. Today he was told that they were sold out by 8:30! While he waited for bagels to go, the clock turned 10:30, and the cashier immediately shut down breakfast. Two people had been waiting in line well before then, and were refused any breakfast items. So they left.. Our second choice were bagels, and those were even slim pickings. Only ONE plain bagel left, as well as some sweet types. Panera needs to work on their business strategy & plan. Why are you refusing customers that had been waiting in line to order, even though you still have breakfast items? Why aren't you making enough of your most popular item (baked soufflés), so you aren't sold out by 8:30AM? I have so many questions. I'm done with Panera. The bagels weren't even that good.

    Thanks for putting the avocado not inside my sandwich.

    This is by far the worst Panera I've been to. Ordered ahead on the mobile app, I showed up 5 minutes late past my pick up time and it still wasn't ready. I waited an additional 15 minutes. I was also watching my name quickly drop from the top of the "your order is coming up" to having six other orders finish before mine despite ordering after me. But it wasn't actually waiting there that got me upset. What upset me was that when I got home to open my sandwich, I see a sandwich half-assed with my avocado not even in the sandwich! If you're going to take additional time, I'd expect all the ingredients to actually be in the sandwich and not on the parchment paper. And then the turkey meat is just a clump of meat, not even spread out. At least at other sandwich places, the employees take the time to break the meat apart and spread it. Slow, sloppy service.

    I didn't ask for 6 dressings and pretty disappointed it meant receiving 3 ounces of lettuce and 2 ounces of berries. A lot of places pack dressings on the outside of the container but this is one way to do it.

Everything from the sandwiches to the pasta comes in huge portions and tastes amazing. Their happy hour is honestly one of the best around -- great quality beers with plenty to choose from, and they even serve them in ice-cold mugs, which makes such a difference. They also have plenty to choose from, plus solid non-alcoholic options at really good prices. They're doing $3 mimosas for Mother's Day Sunday (hopefully that becomes permanent because that's a steal). Happy hour runs from 3-7 every day except Sunday. One of my favorite parts is the atmosphere. The shaded patio makes it comfortable even during the heat, and the whole place has this cozy backyard vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. The owners are super personable and actually take time to connect with their customers, which makes the experience feel welcoming and genuine. Definitely worth checking out if you want great food, good drinks, and a laid-back spot with people who genuinely care.

Coming from the gal that works way too many hours volunteers way too much. It has a lot on your plate. So I don't eat a whole entire lot my appetite is always very strange so I definitely knew ordering the steak salad. I was going to have such a huge amount and would it be able to eat it all but thankfully, my husband was with me and he actually enjoyed it. I didn't tell him there was blue cheese on there because he did ask but I knew I added feta so I didn't mention it really and he didn't say anything so he must've really loved the dressing and everything else to not even notice it. I've always loved the inside of this place. It's big it's like the perfect lighting perfect open window windows and honestly the staff here always seems very pleasant and happy. I love that they have barqs root beer it is the only kind of drink. If you know you know root beer drinkers will tell you this is the best root beer that ever has been. So even if I'm not drinking soda if I happen to see it, I will get it. I'd definitely would love to figure out how I can order my salad personally for me at work downtown so that way I could order from here on DoorDash because it just seems like such a healthier option and so good in like filling it's not just healthy for you but it's like filling as well I don't know what dressing they exactly used, but it was perfect. I was able to ask for no cranberries in it and that's where I switched that out for the feta cheese. I was really happy overall I'll probably be back within the next week. lol

    Funny thing about Firehouse Subs-I don't come here too often but when I do-I always wonder why I…read morewait so long between visits....Well let me tell ya how 1 of my recent visits to Firehouse Subs recently went in Natomas on Truxel Road. Well a fun little hobby of mine is to enjoy participating in birthday freebies that casual dining places like Firehouse Subs offer,but some do come with qualifications-this establishment being one of those and the basic requirements is you have to make at least a $1 purchase 6 months before your birthday and earlier than 7 days before your birthday to qualify for a free medium sub of choice. So it was getting close and I realized I hadn't made a purchase to qualify so after searching the app to find a $1 purchase I realized I was actually kinda hungry so I decided to buy a kids combo for $4.99 and I went with a meatball sandwich.The combo comes with choice of drink or bottled water-I went with water and I think a cookie but I upgraded to the brownie for an additional $1. I ordered from the parking lot so I just walked in and with 4 minutes I had my food was ready. Parking at this location is kinda hectic while also being convenient as they share a lot with many popular businesses so it can get crazy in there but there are so many spots-it balances out. The lobby was nice and clean-plenty of seats-they have my favorite type of soda machine-the one that looks vintage but with the touch screen with the crazy amount of flavor options for your soda-immediately got me thinking " why did I get a bottled water?" I totally forgot they had a hot sauce bar-that used to be one of my favorite things about Firehouse-as a true chili-head,being able to try the different hot sauces was something I always enjoyed. Now let's talk about the food- The brownie was terrible-did not enjoy this at all-in fact I couldn't even finish it-tasted bad and for sure wasn't worth a calorie past the 1st bite-so total dud. The mini sandwich I got was the meatball sub-basically a meatball covered in melted cheese and marinara sauce.I don't know if I could've eaten than thing any faster-I enjoyed it so much-my initial thought was "what was I thinking getting a mini of something so delicious"I wanted more -it was so good-I don't have any critiques-it was super yummy-didn't even need any hot sauces-I really enjoyed it. In closing-mission accomplished-This visit qualified me for the birthday freebie in the future and I honestly enjoyed my little mini treat from Firehouse-I will for sure report at a later date how the birthday freebie experience went-but I'm thinking based on this experience,it's going to be great-Stay Tuned.

Best part is all the food is delicious. We started with 2 bowls of mung bean w/ mixed vegetable soup. It was a true creamy soup, so I put my spoon down and drank it out of the bowl. Sorry manners? Then ordered 2 large plates of short grain brown rice, kidney beans w/ onion & garlic, baked yam, kabocha & butternut squash w/ garlic, collard greens and kale w/ shiitake mushroom sauce, and a mixed salad w/ basil lemon & agave dressing. Everything was very good. My favorites were the kidney beans, the yam combo, and the greens with the basil lemon dressing. We also got a Bahn Mi. Loved that it was really full. I don't like a skimpy Bahn Mi. For dessert, we took home slices of Coconut Pie, Chocolate Pie, Key Lime Pie, and the Himalaya Pie (layered with key lime, strawberries, coconut, and drizzled chocolate). My favorite was the Key Lime Pie -- tart and creamy. Then the Chocolate Pie, which was soft and indulgent. The Himalaya Pie was fun because every bite tasted a little different. The only one I didn't care for was the Coconut Pie because the texture was a bit hard from the coconut fat. One of the best things about this place is that they change things up based on what's seasonal. We travel with our dogs and called ahead to ask about outdoor seating. They don't officially have patio seating, but they kindly pulled a table outside for the two of us. They accommodate well-behaved dogs, and there was a great overhang for shade. We felt very comfortable sitting out there, so don't be shy about asking if you're traveling with your pooches. I briefly saw the inside and it was neat and well organized.
