    My cuz & me were on our way to a Foxwoods show. We were in the mood for Panera bread & it was kind of close by. We wanted something fast (so we thought) b/c we didn't have much time. I ordered a you pick two. I picked a southwest chicken ranch salad. I skipped the ranch & swapped it for balsamic vinaigrette on the side. I like putting my own dressing on my salad. The 2nd pick was their famous cheese broccoli soup. I went to the bathroom real quick after ordering. The bathroom wasn't in the best shape. I came out & looked @ the order screen. There were about 10-12 orders in front of me & it wasn't moving. I was losing it a bit b/c I had a show in 50 mins(we were about 20 mins. away). I wanted to get a refund but my cuz didn't. She wanted to wait b/c she hadn't ate dinner. We waited about 30-35 mins. For our order. I was beyond pissed. Another 25 mins. To eat. Yeah I def made it to the show late & I wasn't a happy camper. I think this is the only Panera near by b/c it was super busy. I've never seen a Panera that busy. It was chaotic. Not to mention all of the dine in dishes piled up near the trash. The only good thing was the food. They were a little cheap w/ the amount of soup they gave us though. I hardly interacted w/ the employees b/c you order on the screen & pick up @ the order area.

    We came here on a Friday afternoon. We ordered a Brocoli Cheddar Soup Boel with an Apple. It hit the spot!

    The Gentlemen taking orders was less than helpful. Looking to have my sandwich on bread, not a roll... he was almost rude about it. Additionally the price of the food is way too high! $18.00 - yikes!

    The portion of this was pretty filling for it being Panera. Dipping the sandwich in the soup was also seclusion. The atmosphere was alright; I did get a little bit of work done with my laptop. The service was quick.

    I can't say I am a huge fan of Panera Bread, as I am not a fan at all of most fast food or chain restaurants, but when you're in middle-of-nowhere Connecticut and starving, this place will do... It'll do just fine. The creamy tomato soup is actually pretty good, if the Cobb salad had some disturbingly spongy eggs and chicken. The service is organized and friendly, even in a crowding situation. My favorite part is their selection of Republic of Teas, which is nice. Again, this place isn't anything remarkable but it will do in a travelling pinch.

    "My grandma she can make a soup With a little a this 'n that…read moreBut with grandma cookin no need to worry! Just a little a this 'n that" (Pete Seeger) My final review of 2022 will describe the worst customer service we encountered all year. We had an errand to run in Sturbridge and figured we'd include a lunch stop in town. The Yelp app brought us to Soup to Nuts. #1) I love soup and #2) it's located inside the Sturbridge Marketplace, so we figured we'd do some shopping and browsing too. When we approached Soup to Nuts we saw a sign that said they opened at 11:00. The front door had another sign that said they opened at 12:00. Since the door was locked, and it was about 11:30, we figured we'd check out the Sturbridge Flea Market and come back. At 12:02 their front door was unlocked, and the sign announcing the 12:00 opening was gone. As we entered the restaurant, we were "greeted" by four words spoken (or more accurately snarled) in a very gruff and rude manner - "we're not open yet". Tone of voice matters, and I will look you straight in the eye and put my hand on a stack of bibles and tell you his tone was beligerant and angry (to the point of aggressive). It was beyond rude. It was shocking. So we turned around, left and never came back. Happy New Year ya filthy animal.

I will say that on our first visit we thought the owner was initially a bit gruff as others had mentioned but we quickly realized that's not the case and he is an incredibly gracious host. We've had both the corn chowder and sandwiches here and they are delicious! Keep in mind with some reviews that people are the problem and not the establishment.

    We were on a road trip and in need of a place to stop for lunch. I pulled out my trusty Yelp app…read moreand came across Fina's Kitchen and its excellent reviews. The small restaurant was like a deli with several tables inside and a lovely outdoor patio that really elevated its overall atmosphere. We placed our order at the inside counter and grabbed a table outside. Throughout our visit, we experienced extremely pleasant and gracious service from Fina and a young man, both of whom were cooking and delivering the food. Though this caused things to move on the slower side, they really had their system down to a science, managing our meals and the several takeout orders that I saw being collected. The lunch menu had various salads, sandwiches, and burgers on offer. I selected the Chicken Gyro, which used a real grilled chicken breast that had been sliced, rather than those pre-cut strips that always seem to contain fillers. The chicken was a tad dry, but the homemade tzatziki sauce, which was heavily infused with dill, helped to add moisture to the sandwich. I had opted for a whole wheat wrap, rather than a pita, and I loved that they had lightly toasted the completed dish, even with its inclusion of romaine lettuce and diced tomatoes. That method gave the wrap an improved texture and a slight crunch. I sampled a few of my companion's fries, which were thin, crispy, and had a real rustic flavor that resembled potato skins. They were great! Fina's Kitchen was a real gem, hidden among an industrial area and catering to the local businesses. It was a great find!

You can tell they're incredibly passionate about their food, and it shows in the taste. I had a veggie burger (which was made in-house), and it was delicious. Everything tasted fresh. My partner had the perogies and a burger, and he loved them! We will definitely be returning for a quick dinner next time we're in the area.

I got the chicken cutlet BLT and it was absolutely fantastic. The bread is absolutely to die for and the chicken cutlet was chefs kiss. I just moved to town and know this will be one of my go to spots! My dad ordered a whole sandwich banking on leftovers... there were no leftovers (he loved it so much).

    Great sandwiches, great soup and even better customer service!…read more We ordered online-we customized our sandwiches (the only thing I would say is that their online system could use some love, it seems a little all over the place and the customization could be a little more in depth) But despite that, we ordered sandwiches and we both ordered the loaded potato soup. We debated on tasting it when we got there and then deciding to buy it (which is actually such a great idea) But we decided that we'd just go for it and ordered the soup too. The soup was phenomenal, so flavorful and warm, it was exactly what we needed on a snowy day. Our sandwiches contained everything we had ordered and they were beautifully made, not too messy but not lacking anything either. A footlong turkey, cheese, L,T, Bacon and Mayo was around $20. My husband's roast beef footlong with L,T, mayo, pickles, peppers, and provolone was a little over $22. A little pricey but like I said before-the sandwich wasn't lacking by any means. I think the best part was walking in and every single person working greets you so warmly. They seem so thrilled to do what they do every day and that alone makes me want to come back.
