    I'm always a fan of Panera, but I especially enjoyed this location. It's located in a strip mall, with plenty of other options nearby. The interior was warm and cozy, especially right next to the fireplace. I ordered ahead and my food was ready to go when I arrived. I was really happy with their salad offerings, especially the ability to customize with various toppings. The dressings weren't bad either. I just wish the taste was a bit less salty, but that's to be expected when dining out.

    This place has always been great and today did not disappoint. I went through the drive thru and ordered and was greeted with a good morning, I didn't feel rushed and he repeated everything at the end. Same thing at the window, a good morning, he took his time and handed each item one at a time, and said "thank you Mark". The food was perfect, as well as the coffee. Perfect! Customer service at its best. Nice job Alex!

    My visit at Panera was very pleasant. I obviously have used them for takeout on their mobile app. Their mobile app is very easy to use and you can get your food faster by doing it this way. It's right on route 20 in Sturbridge so it's a highly active area with a lot of traffic going into the restaurant. They have an easy and accessible drive-thru. The parking lot is shared with other buildings so it can be a little difficult finding a convenient spot. The inside stays very clean and the staff is very nice. The food tasted great and fresh, probably one of the best Italian sandwiches I've ever had. It was a little on the oily side on the ciabatta bread other than that though I had a great experience visiting Panera in Sturbridge.

    Argh! Who doesn't have gluten free bread in 2025? This Panera! Could not believe it. Cross it off your list of places to stop

    Suuuper slow service. Just waited 30 minutes for a chicken sandwich. I can give a bit of a grace period but a half an hour for a sandwich?

    Finger-licking good--literally. The brisket and pulled pork…read morewere unreal, and the collard greens and mac & cheese were straight comfort food perfection. The brisket was my absolute favorite--so tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. When we arrived, the place was full, which honestly had me betting big that the food would live up to the hype--and it absolutely did. Even the other customers were friendly, and the staff was just as welcoming. My fiancé and I shared the two-meat platter, and thank goodness we did--it was more than enough food. We were stuffed and still had leftovers (which I'm very much looking forward to eating again). If we ever pass through this way again, I'll definitely be making him stop here. Can't wait to come back!

    Well, stopped back again recently. The first visit was a two…read moremeat platter of ribs and brisket. Brisket was moist , tender, excellent... maybe a bit greasy but in a good way. Ribs very beefy and excellent. Mac and cheese needed stronger multi cheese blend, maybe a few toasted breadcrumbs on top ? Cucumber salad needed a pinch of sugar to sweeten up the vinegar . Corn bread ok , needs more flavor with real corn mixed in, lose the paper wrappers and bake in pans directly ... or change to a biscuit with honey butter . The owner was working the line first visit and things moving. Second visit : same points mentioned above, but this time smaller quantity of brisket and drier? The ribs smaller and drier ? 2 different food prep guys this time and noticed difference from visit day before? I did try one smoked wing this visit and wing wax excellent smoke tender wing. I think k things improved since the Worcester location closed? It still can be excellent food one time and an average or worse the next visit... inconsistent When the Brisket is on ... it is great stuff When it is off... dry underwhelming... They should make a brisket or burnt end hash as option ... Redbones bbq in Boston used to do a brisket hash that was excellent and unique .

There weren't too many people there, but it made for a lowkey dinner. The food arrived quickly, and everything we had was actually much better than we were expecting. Cool concept with all of the books lining the dining room, and we appreciated that you could take 3 for free. Also walked around the book cellar too. There weren't really any titles that grabbed us though. My main critique is that it was pretty dusty... we looked at one of the lights and the cobwebs on it made it look like a Halloween decoration. You have to wonder if the dining room is that neglected, how bad is the state of the kitchen? Wouldn't be in a rush to come back, but glad I can say I've been to what's considered such an iconic roadside stop.

    Good sweets and coffee for the area…read more I've been to this stretch of the woods a lot back in the day. But never really stopped in because it was Covid times. Now I was back in the area and decided to come in and try. The place was a lot more like a bar and restaurant than expected. Lots of seats and a hostess station up front. We went straight back to the bakery counter to order up some sweets and drinks. I got a snickers latte, and a peanut butter bar. Missus got a carrot cake pop, a coconut and chocolate danish, a custom green tea. Drinks came out quick, and we got our sips and bites in. The carrot cake pop was tasty. Very much a carrot cake in flavor and consistency. Warm spices, cream cheese chocolate coating, it was the best bite. The peanut butter bar, too sweet. I prefer to taste the peanut butter rather than the sugar. The same was true of the coconut danish. Too sugary for the dessert, but a good amount of coconut filling. The drinks were also pretty sweet as well. The coffee got masked by the sugar and the caramel overpowered. Wasn't bad, just very sweet focused. Pricing was high, but that area of the state is always a little pricier. It's a decent sweets shack, but I prefer a little balance for the price paid.

    Sawdust coffee and dessert bar was such a cute spot. It was a spacious and comfy atmosphere. It…read moredoubles as a bar which is really cool. The Tiramisu coffee was 10/10 as well as their gluten free chocolate chip cookie. It was nice that they had such a selection for gluten free. The girls that helped us were really sweet.
