    Awesome for 3 meals a day! I have not had any bad at Panera. It's always fresh, flavorful, and tasty. I tried the turkey and cheddar sandwich, and it had a generous amount of meat, super flavorful cheese, veggies, and soft bread. So delicious! The chicken and rice soup was new to me. It had great cream flavor, well seasoned, and delicious rice and chicken. This location is clean and friendly kitchen staff.

    The Tukwila Panera has plenty of parking thanks to a large lot shared with businesses nearby. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside, the layout feels more long and narrow rather than open, but there's still enough seating to find a spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I personally don't know the loud music, which made it hard to enjoy a quieter visit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I also noticed a few tables weren't cleaned off properly, and some were wobbly, which can be annoying when you're trying to eat and get work done.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restrooms are available and easy to find.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, not bad, but definitely room for improvement.

    Bowl of Mexican corn chowder.  Delicious with French bread.

    Airport delay for In-laws, so got some lunch at Panera Bread pretty close by. Ordered multiple items. Can order thru the walk-in register or live in person which I appreciate. I did order and extra French bread, but did not receive. But the manager made it all better and gave me one on the house. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was clean, the food was great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would come back again and again.

    After relocating to the PNW, I revisited Panera, a place I hadn't been since my time on the east coast. Last week, I stopped by while in the area. The restaurant was spacious and well-kept. Opted for a grilled cheese and tomato soup, and though the staff was friendly, the grilled cheese was just average. The tomato soup, however, was fantastic. Overall, I'd recommend it for the excellent service and pleasant atmosphere.

    Spoiled lettuce in my salad

    I am normally a fan of Panera so it pains me to write this review. I just hope they had an off day because my experience today was pretty bad. I understand that they're busy, but that shouldn't compromise quality of their food or accuracy of fulfilling orders. I tried the curbside pickup today and pre-ordered ahead for a 1pm pick-up. Issue 1: the order was late and I had to wait 20 minutes after my scheduled pickup time. Issue 2: The sandwiches weren't labeled so it was impossible to know if my order was correct without opening each sandwich in the car. Really inconvenient for the customer for a this oversight. Issue 3: I checked my order before leaving and it was missing two items. Glad I checked before leaving. One of the items was a pretty obvious miss as it was a whole baguette. Issue 4: The quality of the food was bad. The greek salads had lots of spoiled and bad pieces of lettuce. It made me really think long and hard about eating the salad because I didn't want to get sick. I hope their management takes all of my feedback constructively. I really want to see them do well and improve upon these mishaps.

    Grilled chicken avocado BLT

    The quality of the food made me lose my appetite. The bacon is gray and the sandwich was put together very messily. I got a chicken avocado blt.

    Greek salad (no olives) from Panera Bread, Tukwila
    Bruce K.

    Panera is all about baked goods and that can be a challenge for a keto diet but they also have salads. I was able to use the app to order a Greek salad with sliced chicken and it came out quite well. I arrived a little ahead of the scheduled time and got to watch the manager/expediter/finisher pushing the kitchen to complete orders and get them ready for pickup. Definitely a hard worker there! Back at the hotel, my salad was customized as requested with plenty of chicken and two pots of their Greek dressing. Very good and while not perfect keto, definitely close to it. I can see ordering Panera again. [Review 17102 overall - 90 in Washington - 618 of 2022.]

    Zero stars, customer service awful, check out this hot new avocado toast when we showed add pic with reality pic manager said "we used scoops" i have no clue what does it mean. Asked them to put my pic instead of colorful unrealistic one

    very rude employee who lied and made faces at customers.

    My Husband & I were at this location around 3 months ago and were disappointed that they were out of so many things well over an hour before closing with no other customers in the reataurant so the sandwich choice was slim. We were in again this evening and had a terrible experience so will not be eating at this location again! The restaurant wasn't overly busy at all but we had to wait quite a long time for our half sandwiches & cup of mac. In fact several customers that came in after us for both dining and takeout were served ahead of us. We noticed a few other customers complaining. When I finally decided to walk up to the counter to ask if they had called out our name, the lady appearing to be the manager said our order had just come up. We had both ordered lemonade from the four or five custom drink selections they had offered in addition to fountain drinks at the kiosk we ordered through. When I walked up to get my lemonade, one of the young female employees was emptying the lemonade and tea containers into larger containers of what appeared to be something they would store it in overnight. I had asked her where the other drinks were and she didn't answer. lI told her we had ordered lemonade and she continued emptying the lemonade and tea dispensers into the storage containers and said "I'm putting it away for the night". This was around 7:00pm ( 2 hours prior to close she was putting it and the tea away and they had none of the other custom drinks that were available on the kiosk). The lady that had appeared to be the manager said the fountain drink machine was down too and the girl was making more lemonade... so I told her what the girl had said and asked her what we were supposed to drink because the girl had said she was putting it and the tea away for the night. The girl ( employee ) rudely looked at another employee as I walked by and said, referring to me, "what did she say about me?". I replied " you said you were putting it away for the night and we paid $3 each for lemonade but have nothing to choose from because you're putting away the tea and lemonade and the fountain drink machine is down" and you have several customers in here trying to get their drinks but we have nothing to choose from . She then rudely said she "did not say that", turned around and made a very snarky face at me! My Husband went up to get some ice from the manager and as he walked by the young girl made an even worse face at him and looked at me and made another face!! She proceeded to take her time to even bother to refill the lemonade or tea dispensers for us even knowing that there were lots of customers in at that time that were also trying to get drinks and had nothing available whatsoever to choose from! She was off doing other things and never came back for quite a while. We felt it was on purpose. As we left the restaurant she was on her break and was sitting eating by the door, and even made a face at us then!

    Chicken sandwich has all but chicken!!! Terrible customer service also... stay away

    The food didn't taste good and the chicken sandwich has hardly any chicken in it. Terrible customer service, so definitely not coming back

The food was outstanding, and our waitress provided excellent service throughout the entire meal. She was friendly, attentive, and handled a difficult situation with professionalism. Unfortunately, our experience was overshadowed by how the manager on duty, Sam, handled an accident. While helping our waitress deliver our food, he accidentally dropped a container of ketchup that exploded all over the side of my body, covering my arm and my white button up shirt. Accidents happen, and I truly was not upset about the accident itself. What disappointed me was the way it was handled afterward. Immediately after the incident, Sam insisted that a rag with sanitizer and water would remove the ketchup from my white shirt. He then disappeared and never checked back with us until we were preparing to leave. At that point, he handed me the general manager's business card and said I should contact them to have my shirt laundered. After we explained that we were from out of town, he continued to insist that laundering was all they could offer. My wife politely explained that would not be practical and that the situation needed to be addressed while we were there. Rather than working with us, Sam simply walked away. Our waitress had no idea what was happening and was left trying to manage the situation herself. After some time, Sam walked past our table to tell our waitress, who was helping another table, that my meal had been comped because of the incident. He never came back to our table, never looked our way, never apologized directly, and never acknowledged our appreciation for comping the meal. It felt like he wanted to avoid the conversation altogether. Our waitress mentioned that the owner truly values customer feedback and takes reviews seriously. If the owner reads this, I want to be clear. Your restaurant is excellent. The food was fantastic, and your serving staff represented your business very well. However, Sam's handling of a simple customer service issue fell far below what I would expect from someone in a management role. Accidents are understandable. Poor communication, lack of accountability, and avoiding customers are not. Based solely on our interaction with Sam, I believe he is doing more harm than good for an otherwise outstanding restaurant.

    UPDATE: 3/24/26... As a Yelp Elite member for 6 years, I…read morepride myself in giving fair reviews, whether good or bad. And with the bad, I strive to be positive on the experience that was good before giving suggestions or letting the owner know what fell short. I'm never out to bash a business. Rather, as an owner, if you pride yourself in customer service, you will take what a sincere Yelp Elite reviewer has to say, step back and see how you can improve. I just read the comments another reviewer posted a few days ago and saw that they were berated as well. I had nothing to gain from giving the review I did and it's unfortunate that you're no longer going to be in business, but there were two other people with me that came to this consensus. With that, I will reply to the unfortunate remarks slammed at me, the reviewer. Let me preface by saying I asked for a pic with the owner before tea service started. If it was said that we had a wonderful and lovely time, it was not by me but one of my friends who, when asked how everything was, couldn't think of anything else to say. Also, I wasn't going to express all of this in front of the owner at the time because I had others with me. So, to rebel and ask me if my mother is still alive and did she teach me to behave like this? Well, all I can say is your reaponse as a business owner is extremely childish and unprofessional. I didn't make the food. I reviewed it and if that means it's not the best review, so be it. It pains me not to give a business owner a good review because that's not what we as Elite members strive for. That said, lashing out is not the answer. At least I have the maturity and diplomacy to put these comments in without getting into a mud fight like you chose to do. Review..... My two girlfriends and I came here for afternoon tea. Since I'm the Yelp reviewer, I asked them for their input and so it was a consensus of the three of us. Here's what went right. It was nice to have a carafe of water at our table, there were beautiful flowers and dyed water to match in the vase, the teacups and saucers were very pretty, the owner was extremely nice. Here's what we thought needed a second look. The sign in the store advertised cheese and fruit for the afternoon tea but it didn't appear. When we asked we were told it didn't come with it but we could get some if we wanted. Please revise the sign as people do notice. Suggest you have a selection of three sandwiches rather than two of each. One was a small croissant filled with egg salad and if we hadn't been told that we thought it might be chicken. The other was a cucumber sandwich which although it's nice to have thin slices of cucumber, these were razor thin. Sort of disappointing that there was so little on a beautiful piece of bread. They scones were nothing special. Perhaps have something inside whether it be cranberry, currant etc. The sweets consisted of a Mexican wedding cake which was rather dry and was there a detection of almond extract? The orange macaron, as beautiful as it was, lacked flavor of orange. I was expecting a nice burst of something but it just wasn't there. The fondant on the petit four was much too thick, and sweet. Whatever fashion the raspberry is used, keep a bit of that tart flavor to offset the sweetness from the fondant. The effort was there, things just felt short.

They have a solid beer menu with great local options. I had a hazy from local brewery Logan Brewing that was great and the perfect color for a hazy - you know it's good when it's the right hue!

The salad was refreshing, good quality, and the chicken was cooked well. That said, I don't think it needed to be a $20 salad. I guess given that it's the airport it makes sense, it just seemed pretty pricey to me. It's a good little spot to stop before your flight, just anticipate some steep pricing. :)

I opted for Brewtop Social vs waiting 30+ minutes to be seated. I'd seen the enticing menu at the base of the staircases leading to the eating area, so I climbed the flight of stairs, yup goofy me they had an elevator around the corner!! Oops!! After climbing the stairs it was open seating, the bar seats faced into the bar not overlooking terminal or airfield. I opted for a view of the airfield, little did I realize this was family seating. After reviewing the menu again I decided on the LOAD BAKED POTATO SOUP and a hard cider from a local Puget Sound brewery. The service was fast to drop a glass of ice water, a since the A/C in terminal wasn't working the water was good to start. The soup arrived fast, but I was shocked when they didn't offer crackers or bread to accompany it! Before I could start eating I had to request/wait for a clean spoon as I don't like food caked my tea spoon (they don't have soup spoons). The cool (Not Ice cold) hard cider was served in a can, or served with frozen mug. What is hard to swallow was the 225% markup on the hard cider. The atmosphere/decor was pretty easy going. I'll remember next time to find a place to eat where kids don't run freely. Sorry, I forgot to get photos to present to you all. Overall, they could probably do some seating upgrades for the bar and family seating areas.
