We eat here frequently. Today I was surprised to see how dirty the carpets were and the bathrooms needed attention. Counter staff were not on top of their game either. I expect better for the price read more

our service was great. server was polite and answered all questions asked. at the speaker i forgot to ask for onions in my sandwich so i asked at the window and he politely told me the sandwich was already made and he can add it to the side. that was messed up and i got bacon instead of onions. and i asked for extra pumps of sugar in my drink and there weren't any. food rated 3/5 service rated 5/5. will be coming back read more

Love it trench onion doup and green goddess salad us the best

The staff at this store seemingly hate their jobs. Not friendly, not helpful, never smile, seem to be annoyed by customers. Just as bad when you go through the drive thru. If you like to pay a lot for lunch and be treated like crap-go here, if not there's a well know chicken chain around the corner known for friendly service. read more

This is the dirtiest Panera Bread that I've ever entered! We had to go back to the car and get Clorox wipes to clean our own table. Floors were filthy. Tables were filthy. Trash overflowing. Dishes overflowing. Soup was barely warm. Avoid!! Management needs to get it together! To make it all worse my husband was in the bathroom with an employee and they left without washing their hands. read more

Just came in to eat today the manager made me wear a mask, but the place is filthy and dirty bathroom is a real mess. Clean up the place and than enforce the mask law. read more

What a joke. So me and my business partner ordered something that had chicken. When we received (at separate times) realized that neither included chicken. She took hers back to put chicken in it then I did the same a few minutes later and heard someone yell from the kitchen "well, we are running out of chicken so what were we supposed to do?" It took all I had not to yell back "hey nimrods, why don't you just tell customers upon ordering that you ran out of chicken". So you pay $10 for a salad and cut out the most costly item on that dish in hopes that you won't notice??? Lucky we dined in as I feel sorry for the folks that went through the drive-thru. Welcome to the world of Tweedledee and Tweedledum. read more

Terrible experience today. It would help if the cashier taking the order actually listened. It would also help if the kitchen actually made the sandwich that was ordered. Recurring theme at this location. read more

The food is pretty good, but very expensive for what you get. I've been coming here for a while, and honestly, every time I go, I wish I hadn't. The staff is rude. I called to complain one time and the manager was even worse. They are always out of something you want. I have never been that they are not out of either bread bowls and/or most of the bagels. I'm not going at closing time, this is at 5:00 or 5:30. And the portions keep getting smaller and smaller. When I order a bowl of soup it is usually only half full. When I go to other locations, the bowl is close to full. All in all, I would not recommend this location. Maybe they need to hire new staff and manager or re-train the current ones. read more

The pecan roll is my favorite, if I could I would have one every morning. Sooooo yummy. The staff is great, no complains. The only thing I wish the latte a little bit stronger. I like tasting the coffee. read more

First time I've been inside Panera in a while with the recent renovations and many other restaurant choices. But my experience last week there was anything but appetizing. I must of caught the gal who was delivering orders at a really bad time (during the lunch hour) because asking her a simple question after using the kiosk was a bit too much for her to answer politely; and when I mistakenly sat a different table than the order alert, she was rude about that as well. Sorry, but I'll be taking my $12 for lunch somewhere else! P.S. my friend also was treated rudely by a different gal who took her order the same day! Wow! First negative review I've ever given for any restaurant! read more

Drove out of my way to get food from here after seeing their "now open later" signs. I went inside 10 minutes from closing to get food to go and they said they couldn't serve me. Didn't seem to care at all that l was there! Disappointed read more

I have never been in such a dirty restaurant in my life. Food and papers all over the floor. I ordered the mac and cheese with barbecue chicken. It was pathetic all for over $8 dollars. First of all the portion was puny. The macaroni were shells instead of curly. They added Mexican runny cheese instead of cheddar. Just don't go -- you won't be disappointed that way!!!! read more

Location is near downtown airport so ran through drive thru and ordered Greek salad with chicken. Got to airport and realized I paid $13 for salad with no chicken. No time to go back so called and asked for charge to be reversed on card. Was told no but they could put my name in a book for a credit I will never use. Business practice to charge for food which they don't provide and when someone does complain offer credit that will never be used. No wonder they have a two star rating! read more

I love Panera. Great food at good prices. This location is almost always busy because it's right in the heart of Spartanburg's biggest shopping district. The food is always good and the staff seems especially friendly here. read more

Seriously the most incompetent Panera bread I've ever been to just now. I asked for a whole green goddess salad, no bread and a bottled water. She asks me if I want tap water instead for 99 cents lol uh no thanks. Get to the window and they thought I ordered a half salad. I wait 10 minutes for them to fix it. She charges my card and as I'm waiting on the whole salad she goes, "can I see your card again?" I say umm ok? Why? Apparently she pulled it out too fast. I check my bank account and it went through so I showed her. She said "well it said decline, I think I pulled it out too fast and it didn't print out a receipt". I said well I don't want to be charged again. She goes, "well if it does you can call us and we can refund it" ‍ how about just don't charge my card again? Then I get my food and she gave me two half salads, no receipt and a piece of cold bread thrown on top lol great job management some real winners. read more

Can't go wrong w panera. I can eat the brocc soup every day. Everyone is friendly and quick! read more

Ordered 4 meals, got only 3. Stapled receipt read (in large bold letters), WE DELIVER! We live 10 minutes away in the largest subdivision in town. They said they wouldn't deliver the meal we paid for. Too far away, she said. Few people live within 10 minutes of this location since it is the business district. read more

I would avoid this Panera Bread Restaurant. We have tried to come here twice to just pick up a to go order and they have rudely told us that they would not serve us because they were closing early before their posted hours. How difficult could it have been to toast a left over bagel or serve a bowl of soup. read more

Ordered two salads, both of the hair in it. So gross one had a long piece of blond hair the other one had a dark think piece. Waste of money never going there again. read more

Maybe a little better than the typical Panera. Nice new design. Friendly staff. Quick service. Dependable Panera food. Didn't see any evidence of the issues reported by others. read more

Kind of pricey for me. Asked for grape jelly, and got an extra charge for it? Come on man... when did we start charging for condiments? Whats next, ketchup, salt, pepper. read more

This Panera is awesome, and the absolute best in the area. I love eating here. Excellent service, fast and hot food, and the environment is extremely clean. What more could you want from a restaurant? read more

Food is always great and fresh. However the customer service is absolutely horrific! Management definitely needs to evaluate the lack of customer service skills! read more

This place gets my money at least once a week. They have a great sausage egg and cheese on bagel. Spiced chia is amazing.

Tasty lunch here. It was busy, but our food was ready quickly. I had the soup and salad combo, which came with a piece of baguette-- perfect for dipping into the soup or mopping up extra salad dressing. The vegetarian black bean soup was spiced perfectly, not bland, not too spicy, and not too thin. I usually prefer the heartier black bean with ham served at Erik's Deli back home but this was yummy. The salad was a fresh Greek salad with feta cheese in just the right size pieces. My only disappointment was the pecan braid -- very, very sweet. Even when we split it, it was too sweet to finish. A slice of cinnamon raisin bread, without all the extra sugar would have been better, but I don't think that was an option. read more

Clean place decent food. My only complaint is how small the portions are. Very good soups for a fast food place and decent breads and baked stuff. The lemonade is very good, and so is their green tea, which I don't usually like. read more

Consistently get your order wrong. 4xs in the last couple of years we've had to go back. As a value proposition, it's not good. Very overpriced for what you get. read more

The two old ladies (Liz and Diane) who work the counter in the mornings are painfully slow and oblivious as can be. They ask the same dumb questions every morning, but always say "you're here every day"... You remember me, but don't remember that I don't have a Panera card, and that I order the same exact thing every time? They always forget to put a plastic knife in the bag until you ask. How are you supposed to spread butter or cream cheese on a bagel without a utensil?? read more

What a disappointment today! We ordered 2 turkey, cheddar and apple sandwiches and 2 cups of broccoli cheddar soup and even though the soup was good the sandwiches were BAD. They had put the wrong kind of cheese on both, maybe about 3 little sprigs of arugula on each, the bread was soggy on 1 side of each sandwich, there was a little blob(in a little mound) of turkey on each that only barely filled the middle portion of the bread, there were just tidbits of thinly(you could almost see through) sliced apples on each. They also forgot the pickles! If I had an establishment that sold this kind of food for the amount of money that is charged here I would be ashamed that these sandwiches were sold like this. And for a grand total of $32+, no less. It will be a while before I frequent this place again. Maybe someone was having a bad day but it made me have a bad day too after spending this much money for THOSE sort of sandwiches. Come on people, work a little harder for your customers, PLEASE! read more

Delivery was fast , but it was gross my sandwich was bland and soggy .... first time eating Panera Bread food and was not impressed i read other yelp posts and still tried to give them the benefit of the doubt. Oh well, will not be eating there again .. read more

Efficient, never been late for a rapid takeout order. Perfect Panera and I've been to a lot of of Panera's. Great staff and clean bathrooms.

This panera completely took care of every one of my needs, specially John the manager who personally looked through the ingredients list of an item on the menu to make sure that it was free of meat and dairy to fit my needs. It was one of the most accommodating actions of any panera that I have experienced and it impressed me immensely, thank you so much John for a great experience!! read more

This place needs to retrain their employees including management . I've had 3 bad experiences at this location. On this particular night I went through the drive thru ordered two pick twos got home and half my food was missing. You can imagine how upset I was. Do the employees just not check the bag before they allow you to drive off with half you order you paid for missing.???This has happened before it's unacceptable. So I call and ask to speak to a manager to let them know the issue and the manager says "oh yeah I figured you call because the girl working drive thru told me forgot to put half your order in the bag"... I'm thinking Oh yeah thanks that's real helpful now that I'm home and hungry.. He then proceeded to say well I can get you another food order the next time you're here., ugh ?? Do you really think that: one that is going to help me in any way and two: that I would ever give you my business again???? I stated No thanks I just want a refund I paid for something I didn't receive and all I want is my money back. He said he couldn't do that . I'm like look I paid for something and didn't receive it yes you can I'm not stupid after being placed on hold for a third time he comes back and says "we normally don't do this but since you don't want us to redo the food order on your next visit I guess I'll just give you your money back " with complete attitude . Look PANERA you guys made the mistake not me I mean how hard is it to put food in a bag?? Doesn't take a rocket scientist or maybe it does.. read more

Worst Panera experience I have ever had! Ordered a Frontega Chicken Sandwich and it was cold. Took it back and they burnt it!

The food is consistently good and the customer service especially on the phone is consistently aggravating. Maybe someone has trained the telephone staff to be anything but encouraging when there is a call-in order versus an online order. The app is inflexible thus one's order is usually wrong - thus the call-in! When informed of the app situation I was asked if I'd downloaded the app. read more

The service is always wonderful. The people are great, but finding a hair in your soup is not a good experience. If the staff hadn't been nice enough to refund my money, I would probably never return. Next time, no soup for me. read more

Worst Panera experience I've ever had. I did come in at lunch and it was busy but, ordering went smooth. Just got a pastry and drink so, I didn't have to wait on the kitchen. Serval people were walking around looking for a table, serval tables needed to be cleared and cleaned but, no one was around to do that. I asked for a cloth to wipe a table off and was told a dining room attendant would be around. One finally showed up but, my table didn't get cleaned. The floors were dirty with litter and ice where drinks had been spilled and not cleaned up. This place needs to get it together. read more

I have been going to this Panera since it opened. At times I have had bad experiences, but after a few months, I'd try it again, and some times it was ok and other times disappointing...Today I went through the drive-in: The service was POOR, voice at ordering kiosk was rude, and when I pulled up to window the woman that waited on me had on artificial nails, with what looked like food stuck to one nail, (in fairness it could have been some kind of decoration). Don't they know that artificial nails harbor bacteria,, All the hospitals have banned them. I work in healthcare, and they are definitely very dirty, and when swabbed for a bacteria screen, come back positive. Ugh!! Managers of Panera, Please educate your employees. I will not be using your store anymore. read more

i absolutely love this restaurant! the managers and waitresses are so polite and will assist you with every need! i got checked out and they forgot to give me my cookie, so i politely asked the staff and they replaced my cookie and gave me another one for free. love the location and the setting! read more
