    Coffee cup and receipt ready for me.  Merced Panera requires customers to ask for cup.
    Michael F.

    I made a special trip from Merced Panera to test Turlock Panera who had my order ready on counter with receipt. Merced Manager Meranda Dupree cites theft from homeless require customer to ask for empty coffee cup instead of pickup from counter. Request District and Area Managers discuss relocate Merced Panera to safer cleaner Merced Promenade Shopping Center. My compliments to Joey at Turlock Panera.

    Strawberry Poppyseed Chicken Salad, Toasted Italiano Sandwich, with an apple, a brownie, and tea

    I have always had a good experience here. Their interior is open and inviting, and the food is made hot to order. I tried something different from my regular this time and I really enjoyed it! I appreciate how quick they are too. Always a pleasure

    I ordered a salad but while eating I noticed I hair in my food, I thought maybe it was mine but I realized I had my hair up and it couldn't be mine. I went to tell someone but while I told them I realized NO one was wearing hair nets or anything while making the food. I stood there for about 5 mins then finally told them something, but when I told them they just said they'll remake it. I waited for my food when came back to get it and they just said thank you to me like if nothing happened?

    A grilled cheese sandwich.
    Kathy G.

    Since it was rainy and cold I wanted a comfort food for the long drive I was about to take. I ordered the two pick half Grilled cheese and cup of soup to go. What a disappointment when I bit into my grilled cheese and saw that I had bitten into a plain bread sandwich with melted cheese. It was the most boring sandwich I ever tasted. I guess only the cheese was grilled because the bread was not!

    Cinnamon Crunch Bagel toasted & sliced with honey walnut cream cheese picked up fresh via rapid pick-up
    Alyssa R.

    I like Panera in general but my poor bagel D; I've gotten the cinnamon crunch bagel toasted & sliced from this location a couple times before without issue but I don't even know how this one could be served to a customer. It's beyond toasty lol

    Receipt and order number

    Ordered from Panera from their App to pick up. Bank charge went through. Get there and waited over 30 minutes. Went in and this Panera in Turlock didn't have my order or any paper trail for my order. Showed them the email confirming and charge. Couldn't get the food I ordered NOR a refund for $13.35. Waited on hold for Panera customer service for over an hour. No one picked up. I suppose this is a way to make money. Charge customers then not have any way of coming through with my order or refund. Very very poor customer service.

    I like Panera, I'm a loyal customer, I just moved to this area. Needed to order some lunch because I nearly sliced my finger off trying to make my own. I got a sandwich, some soup, and a salad. And used door dash came out to $70. I take out my sandwich and i knew it was made with no care in the world. It's so sloppy and not full. This is a tomato and mozzarella sandwich and there's a lettuce to bread ratio. It should be cheese to bread. It's not even basil it's lettuce and if I wanted more lettuce I would have ordered another salad. I'm actually shocked. Supper disappointed. There was no butter in the bag for the bread baguettes. The manager was just like oh sorry you feel that way. The lady needs to understand customer service. Like let me help you out and maybe try saying "oh that will be taken care of, it won't happen again, I'll check with my team. Because if your teams fault. No wonder the place doesn't make good sandwiches. They have a leader that doesn't care or doesn't know how to lead or handle situations or whoever is in charge of food isn't paying attention or doesn't care about other people food. Tried telling me about a refund. Clearly my wallet isn't the problem if I spent a bogus amount of money on a small bowl of soup and soggy bread.

    This place is not good at all not clean and the bread is genuinely hard enough to shoot out of a cannon and destroy a building. crazy

    Food is delicious and service is great. Cocktails are excellent as well. Very nice ambiance.read more

    I came here on a Friday night, I arrived about 6 PM. It was just me, so I offered to sit at the bar…read moreas it was full service. When I got there, there were still some empty open tables, however, as I was leaving, it seems like they're just about all filled up. I got the Mr. milkman cocktail and it was pretty tasty, although I did notice how it appeared, as if there were a lot of wines and other beverages that they were out of. Even with my cocktail, they had to substitute the base with soda water, although it was still tasty. There was probably about 7 to 8 wines/sakes that were crossed out on the menu. Food came out fast, and the service was decent on that chefs end. I got the Korean Stone bowl dish, and It was pretty tasty, although fairly expensive for what it was... rice, veggies, and a little bit of beef, but I do like the concept of having a hot bowl that progressively warms up the rest of the food inside. I really do wish there was more meat inside for the price, I feel like only two or three bites had beef. One thing that I really noticed (and I think I noticed even more because I was sitting at the bar) was how servers and the bartenders spent a lot more time conversing with their friends (who were sitting at the bar) then checking in on some of the other people. Someone did approach me to put in my drink order, but I flagged down the server to put all my other food orders in. I don't think anybody came and asked how my meal was either. I do enjoy the overall ambience of the place, dim mood lighting, a minimalist esthetic, and a bar that really nicely displays some of their high end liquors.

    The food was amazing, it came out with a great rhythm for our party of 9 for our granddaughters…read more16th Birthday. We had the spoon room and had such a great time. The music and atmosphere was very enjoyable as well. All the food including the desert and fresh roasted coffee was fabulous. Our waitress Cheryl was great, overall 100 out of 100.

    I have been a long time customer of Table 26 over the years. It was by far one of my most favorite…read moreplaces to go to. Head chef John was fantastic and always came to check on us. The food was always top notch! After the first ownership change, it seemed to have lost it's value a bit. I went last year and I'm not sure who was the owner at that time, but it seemed to be back up to par. A few weeks ago, some girlfriends and myself stopped by for dinner and drinks. My friend wanted an indigeny and we were told they were out and that the menu was most likely inaccurate regarding beers, due to how often they change them. She wanted a cider and was told dustbowl strawberry margarita is a cider. It is in fact a seltzer and not what she wanted. I asked for a mango mojito and was told they were out of mint. I'd decided to order anyway and when the drink arrived, it was not flavored at all. I asked if it was mango and he said no and went to change it, saying the bartender got mixed up. While it was better as mango, a mojito needs mint. One of my friends ordered fries and what came to the table was not what we would consider fries. It was slices of potato and I didn't find it to have much seasoning. Another friend ordered arancini and an artichoke, while the last friend ordered arancini with tomato sauce on the side. Her arancini arrived with the tomato sauce on the bowl and not on side as requested and the waiter took it back to fix it. The artichoke was not cleaned, leaving the choke (fuzzy part) in the middle and my friend had started to eat it. At $18 for an artichoke, it should be cleaned correctly. The anancini were tasty and I enjoyed both the tomato and the pesto sauce that accompanied it. Before we ordered our mains, the waiter came back to say they were out of burgers and the cut of steak for both the black and bleu and the Jack Daniel's steaks, but could sub a ribeye instead. Ribeyes were market price vs the $37 of those 2 items. I was going to get the black and bleu, but then decided I would try to fish of the day. It was a white fish with a cream sauce and baby shrimp over mashed potatoes and green beans and I thought it was done very well. The fish was flaky, the mash creamy and the green beans had just enough bite! I ended up ordering another drink, but opted for wine to make it more simple. One of my friends had the chicken fettuccine Alfredo and she thought it was OK. While I had hoped for a better experience, I will probably return to see if things are the same or they were just having an off day.
