I have been a customer of this Panera for about a year. It is usually OK as far as food goes. I usually order and pick up and take home. Two things have been happening lately that have caused me to take this Panera off my list of places to pick up dinner. 1 they constantly mess up orders so if you pick up a to go order be sure to check your order for accuracy before you leave. 2 they are reducing the size of a salad but still charging over $12 for the salad. On last visit, I ordered a full size green goddess salad. I received what looked like a very small salad that was just placed in the regular size plastic container. I showed the salad to a staff member in the kitchen and she said that is was the large salad. I have ordered many of these in the past and never received something like this tiny salad. I am done with San Marcos Panera. There are many other places to eat in San Marcos that are great and don't try to rip off customers. read more

Nothing other than a great experience every time I have visited. I order pick up through the app before I go to work. My food is always ready when I get there so I can grab and go. I personally haven't had any issues with getting the wrong items in my bag -- but if I did I would just eat it anyway as I haven't found an item that I don't like yet there. My favorites are the chicken and wild rice soup and the Asian sesame chicken salad. read more

I love Panera, I go two to three times a week. I have been to this location a few times on my way from work and they're always in a mood. The guy didn't give me a receipt, he gave me a blank paper. Plus my Panera account doesn't show my purchases. read more

Not sure what happened but the overall quality had gone done on everything we order. The latest was $8 for a bowl of turkey chili that was 75% chick peas. Not much turkey or anything else for that matter. The drive thru staff was very friendly read more

Literally my last shot at giving Panera another chance. Order after expensive order messed up. Drove through to get my elderly Mom a treat for lunch...paid $10ish for a key fob sized half sandwich and a cup of soup. It's not even worth the hassle of calling anymore. Every single time I order there is a problem. (Excuse my nails ... I'm too broke to get them done after I have to go and buy a second meal somewhere else when eating here) read more

Panera Bread - Literally the Pick Two 1/2 sandwich. - Salad Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

Food is tasty and came out fast. The chipotle chicken bacon flatbread was very good and hit the spot.

Trying to have dinner with my 9 year old and the employees are having a full-volume conversation about pre-gaming, how drunk their friend got, getting high, and a ton of cussing while playing explicit rap music. read more

The chicken salad sandwich is the best there .. just needs a little more kick to it. Like spice it up! I like how they always give you chips with the order read more

I honestly don't think even a 1 star is low enough for this place, I had a chicken burger, and it was honestly the driest, most simple, and the most expensive place, I know for a fact I can get a better meal for 20$ in san marcos, I will never spend my money at this establishment. read more

Didn't have a great experience here... My grilled cheese wasn't toasted- just bread with grill lines? Our soups seemed old and watered down- not fresh. It was really strange because usually, my experience at every Panera is amazing! I love this chain...not sure what happened with this location? read more

Don't ever order their rapid pickup at this location. I've never once done rapid pick up and had them get my order right, it's always missing something. Today my breakfast sandwich was missing the cheese it came with. Last time my turkey sandwich had no turkey Ordering "extra" anything is basically meaningless. I always walk out missing something that I paid for. Update: after my last review, I was offered a free meal for which the order was also wrong! Tonight I ordered again for the first time in a while and they forgot my drink then charged me for cream cheese that I did not order and they did not give me. I wish I could just have Panera without paying for items I never receive. read more

So good, the food is always on point and very good service never disappoints the mango juice is so good and the lemonade is so good the soup is sooooo good read more

Love this place... the employees are always so nice and the food comes out fast and always perfect. They sometimes run out of stuff which is annoying but it's all good in the hood. Would recommend the summer corn chowder in a bread bowl, Mediterranean veggie and cheese Brittany. The bathroom is a little on the messy side but nothing too bad. read more

The best salad and sandwiches that we have ever had at a Panera Bread! Fresh, ample servings, good service, tasty!

This location is absolutely awful. On September 28th, they allowed me to place a Panera pickup order online and drive all the way from my house to Panera just to inform me that they were out of everything I ordered online. Absolutely unacceptable. I worked at Panera bread for years and I would have never allowed this to happen. read more

This is the only place where I go to when it comes to large chain restaurant. They offer an array of healthy food selection which is not only delicious but nutritional instead of just loaded with empty calories.. They offer drive through, take out and dine in experience which all happened to be fabulous.. I wish they had more locations in Austin specially in downtown or south lamar district.. read more

I'd give them 0 stars if I could. This Panera is very low quality. The baguette was dry and crusty. The guy at the window told me it's supposed to be that way, but I've worked at another Panera location before and it's usually warm and soft. Don't waste your $15 for one meal here. You'd be better off spending your money at Subway. read more

Poor social skills. All I ordered was 3 bagels and 3 cream cheese. When I called then they told me they're now offering delivery, but they won't deliver the cheese that they forgot to give me. Maybe corporate needs to adjust its staffing requirements. read more

Not only were they supposedly out of cream cheese but I also got a nice surprise on my baguette in the form of a bug. So gross. read more

I have gotten food from many Panera's and even thou they are a little pricy I get the deal of it is "fresher" food. I ordered the napa chicken salad sandwich and a cup of soup and it was $13. Ok fine I know they are not cheap. I get my sandwich and it is all bread and the smallest scoop of chicken salad. Not an $8 sandwich worth of chicken salad at all. Also the tomato was frozen. read more

These people can't get an order right to save their lives. I've ordered from here twice in a week and they got my order wrong TWICE. Apparently they don't know how to take down an order. read more

I'm actually a big Panera fan, back in my college town I used to go for soup every time i got sick. At THAT location it was always a treat....however just drove 30 minutes from Kyle to relive the joy of my old Panera and I will never be returning to this location again. They told me my favorite soup is a daily soup special (not that way at the old location), not the end of the world I got chicken soup and a turkey sandwich. At my old location this was still a treat the bread was hot and freshly baked and the ingredients were crisp. Here the turkey sandwich came on store bought wonder bread and it didn't taste like the vegetables or the turkey had been refrigerated the soup had clearly gone bad and to top it all off the sweet tea was not sweet and the service was shaken at best. Which would be acceptable at a 5 dollar price point however this meal set me back 23.38 so yeah...if you are a Panera fan I suggest you keep your distance from this location. read more

This is so disgusting and disappointing for how much things coast there. BLACK AVOCADO?! Nothing tasted good in this order and I just don't understand how they could even send this out. read more

Just bad. No other words need to be said. Waste of money and time. West Coast Panera never once had a problem

Ordered a bacon and egg sandwich from the app for $7. They forgot the egg and gave me 2 leaves of spinach. Thanks! read more

Came in with my husband and baby. Went to the counter to order, started talking and the cashier just walked off as I was mid sentence. Just left. My husband looked at me and we left. So rude! read more

I had an online ordering issue and Travis helped me. He was friendly and rectified the issue with ease. The food isn't always up to par but you I'll keep going when you've got friendly people working there. read more

Boyfriend and I had lunch here yesterday. Both ended up sick to our stomachs and taking turns in the restroom. We got different items apart from the bread bowls. There is something wrong in their kitchen, and I won't be going again. read more

Worst customer service from the drive thru! Woman at the window shows her frustration about whatever she's frustrated about, not happy? Don't be in customer service. I've worked in customer service for 16 years and know what's good and bad. Tried to use a gift card that showed money on the app and she said it was bad couldn't use it and was like sorry not sorry. Will never go here again. And it's sad cause I use to like Panera. read more

This location is awesome. Friendly employees and management. I love getting rewarded every time I come here read more

Panera Bread - Iced coffee is delicious! - Salad Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

This is my fourth drive-thru experience where they have effed up my order, even after going over everything with them at the window. Today's trip was marred by ordering a Greek salad with no onions. I get home and there are tons of onions in it but no dressing! I guess I just really need to stop coming here. They probably know they can get away with bad service because this is the only "healthy" fast food option in the area. On another note, today I tried the Autumn Squash Soup. It's really good but a tad on the sweet side. It's more like a dessert soup. read more

If you like Broccoli cheese soup and Bacon turkey bravo sandwiches this place rocks! I know some people who feel like only they can make themselves a sand which to perfection. Panera Bread did a pretty awesome job! I ordered two signature items so my total was around 11 dollars (I usually wouldn't pay that much for half of a sandwich and a cup of soup) but my food was good so I feel it was worth it. It was my first time visiting Panera Bread, the service was speedy, and I know I will return! read more

This Panera bread is amazinggg! I lost my wallet and tried to use Apple Pay (for my first time). It wasn't working, so the manager just said "lemme buy your lunch." Everyone is so nice here and the food was hottttt and delicious, even down to the warm cookie :) read more

My coworkers all wanted to get lunch delivered from Panera so I tossed in some money to get myself something, too. I haven't ever eaten inside a Panera, but I was mighty impressed with their delivery! My food was in a sturdy little box with my name written on it, so we didn't have to play the game where we touch everybody else's food in an attempt to figure out what belongs to who. We had a huge order and they were very prompt, even throwing in some cookies for free. There are a few vegan options, one of them being the Mediterranean Veggie sandwich. If you order it with different bread (ciabatta, french, plan focaccia, and others) and request no feta cheese, you have yourself a tasty vegan sammich for lunch! The black bean soup is also vegan and you can get a small cup with half a sandwich and potato chips for a meal that will run you about $7. Not bad! I found the portion to be a little on the small side, but everything was tasty enough that I would order again - or maybe even check out the inside of the store! read more

I'm reviewing the baked goods and coffee as I haven't had many meals beyond breakfast here. While it's obviously a chain the quality of the baked goods is excellent. Texas is not a bagel-friendly state so being able to get a decent bagel is a plus. The cinnamon-crunch bagel is really just a sugary treat for adults trying to hide behind the respectability of the boring bagel name. They are addictive. The coffee is fresh and hot and they offer iced coffee in the self serve area. Yum. read more

I came here for lunch. Service was excellent! ...even though they were busy. I had the chicken quinoa salad which was tasty and a good size (whole). My only complaint is the iced green tea is only available sweetened - at least it's sweetened with agave! I prefer unsweet. read more

Not a regular at Panera so a little unfamiliar with the menu. The person seemed a little put off by that. I had the pick 2 and got the broccoli cheddar soup, the stake and white cheddar, and a green tea. The food was delicious and the tea tasted great. I think they would have gotten another star but the customer service from the order taker was not as expected. The young lady that took the money an handed me the bag was nice. I would go here again as there is no issues with the food. read more

I've never been in Panera before. But I walked in to get an iced tea to go... No ice, no sugar, no lids. I'm not sure what to expect if I ever decided to dine here. read more

I ordered a half sandwich last night for $8 and it was full of everything I asked her to not put in. It was really small like 3" it looked like the end of a sandwich that someone left behind. The lady at the drive through was rude and looked like she hated her job. I didn't want to ask for her to remake it for fear that she'd do something bad to my food. I won't be coming back!! read more

Do you want to spend 15 min in a drive thru with 2 cars in front of you? Do you want to spend $10 on a sandwich that's not as good as but is the same size as a McDonald's hamburger. Do you want to be treated rudely by the employees while they take 15 min to make your sandwich that doesn't even go thru a toaster oven ? Then I suggest you come to this place. Horrible food, crazy expensive and rude employees. read more
