    Said but in my salad

    Customer service is always great! They are very fast with getting the orders out whether you're dining in or picking up. I ordered a Ranch Parm BLT salad and found a nut in it! So for my nut allergic people be cautious! Oh and their new strawberry basil lemonade is yummy!

    Napa Almond Chicken Salad Sandwich as my friend recommended. So tasty and lighter in my belly than expected.

    4* food again, 5* transaction this time. The marketing worked, I was fed an ad for a new sandwich and here I am ordering it maybe 36 hours later. Tried the Signature Take Chicken Sandwich with automatic side of chips. Don't expect much garlic flavor in your garlic aioli, but the good portion of seasoned white meat chicken wasn't overly dry. Parmesan crisps were a pleasant chewy surprise--between the size of a dime and a nickel, I was grateful for the flavor and some texture. Emerald greens are, as I suspect you yourself already suspected, a pleasingly fresh if unsurprising green leaf lettuce blend. Nice rebrand, though. Best of all, this time I got the 4pk of brioche I ordered. The one on today's chicken sandwich was lovely, this pack is still soft, and best of all they come pre-sliced. Two things I love about their cinnamon roll is the touch of lemon in the icing and the fact they aren't overly greasy/buttery. Don't get me wrong, sometimes you need the sodden center of a hot Cinnabon but today was not that day for me. I like how much of their packaging is paper. The brioche came in plastic and there's a window on my cinnamon roll, but otherwise brown paper products. The chip packet is on me; if I'd been thinking I'd have stopped to select an apple as my side. Delivery was zippy once again. This driver didn't contact me like the previous one with notification of drop off, but my meal was here within 30 minutes of placing my order online. I know that intersection of WW and 35 is seldom pleasant traffic in daylight so respect for that.

    Waste of money

    YOURE BETTER OFF EATING MCD. Quality of their food is TERRIBLE. $35 for half a grilled cheese & a regular sandwich...?? For both sandwiches to be soggy & BLAND. Never again. Do not eat here. Waste of money & time.

    1st time trying Panera Bread ever, it was alright.. only thing I want to complain about is the lack of chicken.. not enough chicken.. but overall the establishment is very clean!

    Black iced tea for life.

    So I am sitting here sipping on my 3rd iced tea, and I just want to say I really love this Panera Bread location. It was my go-to place in New Mexico to write, and I have not found a Panera I really like in Central Texas yet. Today I came for the first time here to meet my friend for lunch and writing time, and this location is great. The staff are very friendly and fast. The staff person at the counter (I think their name was Olivia with colorful bright hair) was so sweet helping out a pair of older customers with their order and remembered them from a former visit. It made me feel like if I come back here, I will be a recognizable, valued regular customer by the staff. The restaurant is super clean thanks to their staff, and the food is great and comes out fast. They have my favorite french onion soup, which I enjoyed a big bowl of today, and a warm chocolate chip cookie. And did I mention that tasty iced tea?! My only critique is that it is super cold in here. It is Texas summer, so A/C is a necessity but it's chilly for me. Or maybe that was all the iced tea? Thanks, Panera Bread, San Marcos. I'll be back!

" - Farmhouse This chicken salad is absolutely divine. It has simple elements and no unnecessary additives. The only thing that can be tasted in this chicken salad is a bit of mayo, red onion, lemon juice, and jalapeño. It requires no "extra" seasonings. I am not a big fan of mayo, but for those who are, they will find this salad is light on the mayo. I did add EVOO to the mix to spread the chicken salad across sourdough bread. Outside of this chicken salad, I've purchased various cuts of meat and cheese from this shop. Each item I've purchased here seems to be better than the next. #supportlocal

    God DANG that $13 cheesesteak was good…read more I don't regret the $2 bagel upgrade because this house made bagel is one of the softest, most fragrant, beautiful bagels I have enjoyed. Respect to Mile High Mo's for shipping in amoroso rolls but today, this bagel was just as pleasing. I chose chive/onion cream cheese and there was not an overwhelming amount; it interfered with nothing and instead complimented the flavors like a humble wingman. The beef was wonderful (do they still use 36G ingredients? bc that would explain it) and the onion/pepper perfectly caramelized--their look, flavor, and texture were all ideal. The cheese portion was generous but was in harmony with the rest of the sandwich. Service was friendly and their time estimate was accurate. There are a couple bistro tables outside so you have a chance of eating there if you like. Just like Sunny's before them, there is no inside seating so if you're a new customer be aware all orders are packed to-go. I personally prefer the paper packaging they used in the past to today's styrofoam, but my sandwich was still lovingly wrapped and topped with a nice napkin within my little clamshell which warms my jaded heart. I look forward to visiting the rest of the menu here.

Since my spouse had asked me to get something from them if they were open, I went up and ordered a Texan. The Texan is their signature bagel, with chipotle cream cheese, bacon, egg, cheese, onion, and sausage with a bit of spinach. I got the jalapeno cheddar bagel and opted for the jalapeno sausage rather than garlic sausage. It was *incredibly* tasty. There was a good snap on the sausage casing, the bagel was good, and the flavors blended well. All told, the sandwich was delicious, and the service was quick and friendly. The bagel isn't quite as chewy as a traditional bagel, but is perfectly tasty. All told, if you want a high-carb, high-protein breakfast, lunch, or brunch, I highly recommend Bagel Bros.

Definitely avoids the crowds. We arrived and the place was maybe 1/3 full. They had a steady stream and even more take outs/food deliveries, so I knew the place was good. We just found a quite dark corner and tucked in. Started off with the A1. Shrimp & Pork fried egg roll. It was a perfect Vietnamese egg roll. You can definitely tell the national differences across the different countries and I think Vietnamese style are my favorite. Very tasty and I love the texture. We had a Blue Moon that is only second to Tsing Tao beer at an Asian restaurant. For the main course I went with the B5. Shrimp Stir Fry Noodle (Vermicelli) Bowl. It tasted very good! Glad I went with it. Next time I'll try a pork or beef. For some reason the tails are attached to the shrimp. I get it likely is much more flavorful and easier, but it is always awkward to dissect them when you are eating. I'm pretty nimble with chop sticks but I'm not a pro, so I just eat them with my hands with the tails on. But they tasted great! And the bowl was HUGE. I need to eat thru more of the menu and we will definitely be stopping by again to troll thru it.

I could easily replicate the sandwich to save me some money (and a 25 min drive on a good day), but it's the nostalgia and tastiness that keeps me coming back. What it is: The Grilled Chicken Club is a simple, yet refreshing layered sandwich made with slices of wheat bread spread with dijon honey mustard and mayo, then stacked with lettuce, tomatoes, bacon, and sliced grilled chicken. I can literally recite the exact ingredients from memory. The cookies are delicious, the sweet tea is spot on, and the soups are always solid. A cashier recently recommended me the lasagna soup from my regular chicken tortilla soup, and now I can't stop making my own version at home. If this McAlister's ever closes, I will be devastated!!!

When i walk ip to do the same, we are told that they have a problem with theft so they keep everything behind the counter now. A practical solution a suppose. But a sign slob the aforementioned area, or maybe greeting the waiting customer, would be good additions.
