    Caesar salad
    Rachel H.

    Today marks the last day I ever eat at this chain. I've been a die hard panera fan for so many years and their quality at any location has gone downhill so drastically, it makes me angry. Over the pandemic I can't even recall the amount of times they've had such severe staff shortages that their trash bins were overflowing. As for this specific location- this is the last time I get screwed over with paying this much for such bad service and lack of quality in their food. Today I ordered for pickup a standard Cesar salad with the addition of arugula.. and my salad came out as a literal small handful of arugula. Seriously? Furious with my order- I went into the restaurant to ask why they had left out the literal base of the salad.. for an employee to say she will give me the lettuce.. went to the counter and picked up a small handful of lettuce only. Do I care to argue?? What am I going to get out of this? Do I blame lack of customer service training? I have had general problems with this location, where I NEVER get my cup for my drink. I always have to ask and you can't ask the same employee who is working on the food.. you must wait or cut in line at the register to show your receipt to wait to grab a cup.... This is such a small detail which makes me waste so much of my time and energy to grab my food to go. I hate to be rude and cut a large group of other customers who are waiting to order. This locations overall lack of heavy duty cleaning also makes me upset, as this is a heavy traffic location. It's very obvious there hasn't been a heavy cleaning by an external company.. EVER??? There are obvious roof leaks and lack of standard hygienic measures in place. When you have a restaurant, you cannot rely simply on the employees who have just worked for 7 hours and are now asked by their manager to clean the dining chairs- who have no proper training on doing so. This $6 salad will be the end of my service this company and their inability to train employees, maintain employees, as well as lack of creating a clean and easy atmosphere for their customers. No free drink subscription should keep anyone coming back to a business that doesn't care about anything but their profit. This Sanford location and the Millenia location, that I used to frequent are both owned by the Covelli franchise. It's very obvious the lack of quality that these 2 locations share.

    Very good Cobb

    We've patronized Panera in many areas around Florida and found this location to be just fine. Years ago they removed the Cobb Salad from the menu, which I never understood, but now it's back. Good for them. We did not see any issues while we were there. I do agree that the prices have pushed up as they have everywhere. Not good but what are you going to do? The Cobb Salad was very good as was the Southwest Chicken Salad. The bread is always good. Enjoy!

    Chicken Tikka Masala soup

    We came and ordered soup and a drink. While the prices have gone up considerably, the soup was steaming hot. The bread was delicious as always. We were a bit hesitant given the reviews, but we really enjoyed our meal. We will come back.

    Baja Bowl & Baguette
    Remi W.

    Wow! I naturally have a negative opinion of Panera, so I was a little skeptical going in and honestly already had a negative opinion. However, this past experience has entirely turned that around! I had the Baja bowl and the baguette and both were excellent! Super tasty and fresh! I will definitely be back! They use Greek yogurt as a dressing, which I know seems odd, but honestly I was pleasantly surprise, it was a super good option, tasty, and healthy.

    Cheddar broccoli soup
    Lana E.

    Great coffee, sandwiches, salads, bagels and pastries. Panera has it going on! It was a super cold day in Florida (yeah, you heard me) and I was in the mood for something warm in my belly. I headed in for a quick late lunch and I ordered the "pick two". I asked for half of the Green Goddess salad and some cheddar broccoli soup. My buzzer went off in record time. I grabbed my meal and sat down in a booth. My salad was fresh and oh so tasty! This was my first time ordering the Green Goddess. Usually, I'll opt for a Greek salad. The only downfall was it seemed liked the hard boiled eggs were extra chilled as I felt I it was a tad bit "frosty" when I bit into it. The cheddar broccoli soup was so satisfying. The temperature was just right. Not too hot- so I was able to get right into it! I left feeling good and not hating myself. That in itself shows that the meal was perfect.

    Ordered a cup of fruit and I got this nasty old fruits. I wish I would've checked my bag before leaving the building.

    Ordered a cup of fruits. The fruits are old and I ended up throwing it out a waste of money. Mushy grapes mushy pineapples. Absolutely disgusting I lost my taste for going to Panera bread at this location.

    Small Mac n Cheese

    This location does a great job with their curbside option. I've never been waiting for longer than 5 minutes even when there is a large group of cars using the same service. The food also tastes great and is warm when handed to me. Pros with Curbside: * Quick Service * Don't have to leave your vehicle * Friendly Customer Service Cons: * Runs out of bagels occasionally around lunch time

    This location was a nice place to come. I don't know if they change ownership or what. The seats are torn up, the sink on the bathroom looks like is going to fall. I ask for a chicken sandwich and hardly had any chicken. The prices keep going up.

    What an absolutely fantastic, surprising find in the heart of downtown old historic Sanford. " Make…read more2nd your 1st choice," is the perfect slogan! In town on a work trip, my husband, and I decided to try this place out! What a wonderful surprise! From the moment you walked in the eclectic, industrial, modernized, warm, cozy feel welcomes you in. Our server was friendly and attentive, and we knew right away that this place was a find! A wonderful happy hour menu, led us to a full menu of what felt like a farm to table experience. I sadly didn't get to snap a photo of the excellent appetizer buratta, but it was a perfect blend of balsamic tomato and creamy cheese! I am a true foodie, and this was hands-down the best burger I've ever eaten. My husband absolutely loved his shrimp and grits, perfectly cooked and well balanced flavor. Well, I know everyone recommends the chocolate cake, I can't rave enough about the crème brûlée. Do yourself a favor and go out of your way to enjoy a " private chef experience" meal! You will be glad you did!

    Went there last night with another couple. My friend had the honey glazed salmon and a beet salad…read more Her husband and I both had the Blackened Redfish, crawfish grits and gravy. My husband had the Bean, kale soup which he said is probably the best soup he's ever eaten! Everything was Amazing 5+ stars on the food. The service was pretty good. The restaurant is nicely decorated but the acoustics were horrible. It WAS SO LOUD that it made the dining experience suffer greatly. We sat upfront to avoid the noise but could barely hear one another across the table. But again the food was wonderful. Not a single dish disappointed. Many, many complements to the chef and his staff.
