Panera Bread

Update July 12, '22... GM Notified several times the past few weeks about dirty urinal, empty sanitizer stations and empty napkins. Apparently doesn't care. Still dirty and still empty. Food and coffee are good. Restaurant is dirty. Management is apathetic. Only two team members ever care about cleanliness here. *Drive to Plainfield! That one is Clean, Friendly, Happy, Well-Run... :-) ----- Update June 22, '22... Manager Destiny was upbeat, friendly, professional, and encouraging other workers. Someone was in the dining room cleaning. People looked like they were actually being quite productive and the place was much cleaner. There were no unnecessary lines at the registers. ----- Coffee and food were good. But on a Tuesday afternoon they were already sold out of so many food products. Are they really sold out or just unorganized? I was told a certain type of bagel was not available. But there were racks and racks of bagels and bread behind her waiting to be put out. And it was very slow, it's not like there was a rush. The place is filthy. During the couple of hours I was there, one manager, with dark hair, in a yellow shirt, came out and cleaned two or three tables. No one else did a damned thing. But he "cleaned" those couple of tables with a dry rag. It was not wet and there was no disinfectant. There's no way he could actually clean the table. You need a wet rag, some sort of cleaner or soap, and you have to clean the rag in between. All he did was brush crumbs onto the seats and then only wipe off a few of the seats. Crumbs, grease, food, spills...all left on the table and the other seats. It was embarrassing. No wonder the younger people who work there have no idea how to clean anything, because he doesn't have a freaking clue himself. And he only pretended to clean the same two or three tables two or three times - so 95% of them stayed filthy. The floor is also filthy. He had plenty of time to come out to the cooler in front of the counter and grab drinks for himself over and over, but no time to actually clean anything or teach anyone else to clean anything.

Update: As of today (6/10/22), this location is closed by the health dept. Panera quality in general has gotten alot worse. It's not just this location. They are often out of dishes or even just out of single ingredients, which is fine if they warn you. But the last time I was here, I ordered what was a new side to me -- a tomato, cucumber, basil salad. What I got was tomato and basil drowning in vinaigrette. Completely inedible. Not knowing what you are gonna get is what makes Panera not worth going to anymore.

Very friendly, professional & fast! We ordered the Full Turkey Bravo sandwich with Bravo Sauce on the side for just a little under $11 and it was amazing! The sandwich was very filling & flavorful! Great Job Guys!

Panera Bread. I always wondered why someone would choose other fast food restaurants other than Panera Bread. I say this due to the bursting flavors of the meals prepared here. Today I had the steak and cheese with the broccoli soup. Fantastic!!! With it I received kettle cooked chips and an agave lemonade. Everything was great!!! Stop in and get something far tastier than your average fast food meal for just a little bit more.
