Panera Bread

Judith Griffin

My personal favorite is the squash soup 🍲 the fall season 😋. Food is always fresh and good tasting. No matter what I get from salad 🥗 to sandwich 🥪 with my soup or during non offer season. I have never been to a location in several states over many years now that I have had a bad or poor experience. I have had to wait in some lines, never have I had a bad experience.

The best part of Panera is their sweet treats!! I love their cookies and pastries and normally order a hodge-podge of side orders! The food isn't heavy, it's just enough without feeling completely full and bloated. The atmosphere is inviting and calm, it's open but provides privacy to all patrons. This is my mom's all-time favorite place to eat no matter what state she visits. I made sure I brought her to this location in Jacksonville and it did not disappoint. The workers there were sweet and very helpful. I highly recommend visiting this location!

Lunch was great the employees were great. I’ve had Panera bread a few times but the inside experience is so much more satisfying then just going through the drive thur.

Without fail, every single time we order from here something is missing, or portions are much smaller than usual. We live in Sneads Ferry, and always order to go. Due to living so far, I typically only order after work since I work in a Jacksonville, or if I’m in the area running errands on the weekend I’ll grab dinner here. Don’t expect your croutons when ordering tomato soup, we have NEVER received them! We almost always get Soups and Mac and cheese with our Pick 2s, and the container is never full! We have been lucky to get 1/2-3/4 cup. Meals have been missing entirely. When I call they’re always quick to apologize and they do offer replacement however once I’ve driven all the way home I obviously am not driving back to Jacksonville same day! What is the point of having an employee “check the food on the receipt” when in realty they aren’t doing anything but crossing it off as if it is there, without even looking! My husband is vegetarian so Panera is one of the few places I can grab a quick healthy meal from, but it never pans out and I always end up regretting it. I won’t be eating here anymore unless I eat in the cafe.
