    Terrible manager! I complained because I paid 6 bucks for what is already a small mango smoothie. But when I got it, it was lacking considerably. See pic. So I complained and demanded for a more full cup which is what I paid for. The woman behind the counter explained that those are the portions, that they are only required to make it up to the first line. (Which wasn’t even at first line). I said I disagree it is too empty. I asked to speak to a manager and she sarcastically said “hi, how May I help you?!” After my meal I asked another employee if there was another manager and spoke to him. There is no need to speak to a customer like that! I proceeded to place a to go order. Sure enough the issue manager served the soup and set it aside. Server someone else, and then waited a moment just to plop the order on the counter, and walked away. VERY RUDE! So I told her she has terrible customer service. She should find a different job I said. She then proceeded to argue with me and give me more rude remarks! Unbelievable!!! The food is mediocre and expensive, and on top of that terrible service?!?! Unbelievable!!!

    This location should be ashamed. They called police on a family here WITHOUT PROOF of their allegations of abuse. They caused a family distress by allowing these people to be HARASSED BY POLICE and making things up. I've watched the entire video now and this is further proof why I will not buy from ANY Panera. Their food is terrible now (it was better in the 2000's) and their service is clearly lacking. Panera, you can do SO much better. I can guarantee I will NEVER buy from you again.

    It’s always a good restaurant chain. But after eating in this particular one I got a severe food poisoning and was really bad for a few days, possible some contaminated/spoiled food or milk at the food.

    Drive thru girl was an not bright. Maybe it was her first day. She could not repeat the order correctly. I had to repeat it 5 times and then explain it in detail so that she would get it right. Kudos to her for continuing to try. Then she only gave part of our order. I had to remind her that we were still waiting for the rest of the order. Try caring about your job a little more and doing a quality check before you hand the food over and you will be okay.

    0 stars. Worst place in Florida to eat or piss for that matter. Cause that’s about all I would consider doing at this establishment. Food is lousy. Bread stale, veggies soggy, tables and floors disgusting. AND the rudest employees I’ve ever encountered all here at this location. The health department should shut them down! Immediately!! Nasty service and nasty food…sheesh! Pick a struggle🤮

    I would recommend their flat bread pizzas because are really fresh. Is never too busy so service is quite fast. Drive through is available. The place is kept clean.

    The person that took my order spoke english and so I told her in spanish I wanted a H. Cheese sandwich, and I specified with swiss cheese, I took back the sand. and talked with the person that makes food and pain told me that they do not have Swiss cheese so I went order taker and asked her why she didn't inform me that they do not have Swiss cheese. She didn't know. So I bought an expensive soup, half a sand for my wife 2 bot. of water and black coffee for 33.00, money doesn't grow on trees, that will be the 1st and last. To make things a little worse I went to counter and asked a box to take my sandwich home with and they don't have boxes, wax paper and a bag, waooo! Like I said, 1st and last!!!

    I come very frequently to this panera, and this problem is very common at breakfast time. they don't keep the coffee thermos full, or the coffee is almost empty and cold. They have a lot of clerks wondering around but nobody taking care of this little detail, panera is not a cheap place to spend my money and I believe we deserve better service.

  • 5/5 Eion D. 2 years ago on Google • 63 reviews
    I use this Panera every week. The service is 100 and the staff are all very friendly and always smiles. I have never had a messed up order and can always count on being in and out without long lines or wait times. Also it is always clean and smells fresh overtime.

  • 4/5 Lizzy P. 8 months ago on Google • 32 reviews
    First time I've been here and was not content with my order. No one's fault, I just didn't like the meal I ordered. Other than that it's always a pleasure going to Panera. 1st time trying a smoothie here and it taste pretty decent.

  • 4/5 Nina K. 1 year ago on Google
    Came to this location for lunch today, and was overall satisfied with the service. Juliette, the cashier, was very nice and helpful. I noticed the manager was on top of things and communicated with the staff. Except for too much pepper or heat on my chicken chipotle sandwich and the fact that I had to clean my own booth (reason for 4 instead of 5 stars), everything was good. Plan to visit this location again!

  • 2/5 Faisal T. 2 years ago on Google
    The online pick up order is very convenient. However, inaccurate online pick up orders and sometimes food is cold. Recently, I ordered large sizes for each meal, when I got home all bowls and plates were small size. Filed a complaint, no reply yet…

  • 1/5 Manuel R. 1 year ago on Google
    I made a $20 order, Tomato soup cup and a Greek salad with chicken to takeout. The soup came in half the cup, the salad came without chicken, no straw for my drink, just 1 knife (no fork, no spoon for the soup) no napkins. I make this review because is not the first time my order came incomplete at this Panera, make sure to check what they put on your bag. I was to far to go back and do the return.

  • 1/5 Krys D. 1 year ago on Google
    Worst Panera location I’ve visited yet, always missing items if ordered through Uber eats/Door Dash. Soups are always super watery to where Ive had to return them. Management definitely needs to do better.

  • 1/5 Paula L. 1 year ago on Google
    Unfortunately, the lady manager did not address our question about a smoothie and the amount served (significantly low) in a respectful manner. She used sarcasm when talking to us, the customers. This is the first time we receive this terrible service at Panera. Customers should be treated respectfully by this manager who should have acknowledged her lack of manners and quality service in a professional way.

  • 1/5 Adriane B. 1 year ago on Google
    Every time I order from this restaurant, there’s an issue. I usually just chalk it up as a loss but it has gotten to be so annoying, I will not ever order from here again. It’s not all Panera’s that I have an issue with, just this one on OBT. I ordered a 20oz coffee, got a cup the size of my hand. Ordered a customized breakfast sandwich, they completely neglected to look at my notes. Most of the time my beverage isn’t even delivered. When I ask for no ice, I get extra, when I ask for my bagels to be toasted, they don’t toast them. There’s always something wrong with my order from this location. Hire people that care, that should help you stay in business.

  • 4/5 Justin P. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice clean location. Food was well made. Staff can be frazzled at times. No kiosks for ordering but do have mobile app order and pickup for dine in.

  • 5/5 Layla Stryker (. 1 year ago on Google
    Bless this Panera and their workers. I ordered a turkey sandwich and asked for so much dressing that the sandwich would swim. Make it soggy, a soup bowl even, I'll pay whatever your ransom is. They hooked me UP on the dressing I finally got to enjoy the sandwich the way I love it! They also gave me 3 pickles like I asked.. the best pickles ever. Thanks guys! Stuffed a 20 in that tip jar as quick as I could.

    Panera is always an option when dining on the go. Sandwich’s and salads are healthier options to burgers and fries. This location is as good as the rest. I’ve stopped here for a morning coffee, for a lunch while on sales calls and even dinner. Usually prompt service, clean and pleasant staff.

  • 1/5 Luis L. 1 year ago on Google
    I ordered the smoky Buffalo Chx Melt but it barely had any chicken. I informed the management and they didn't care. Every other sandwich is good but don't get that sandwich.

  • 1/5 Melanie R. 11 months ago on Google
    Literally worst experience ever, I’ve ordered Panera bread but I’ve never been in the restaurant and what a shame cuz I’ll never come back again, they were like 10 guys and no one was doing nothing, the checking box was empty, they didn’t wanted to work at all. I speak English but my mom and dad doesn’t and honestly I could feel how bad my parents were feeling bout the bad attitude of those ppl.

  • 5/5 Arleen M. 9 months ago on Google
    Friendly staff, great food, plenty of parking, including handicap, and accessible to other establishments. Best of all, I can order my favorite sourdough pre-sliced bread by phone/online early morning; they bake their bread early! And best of all, Panera's sourdough bread is rated #1 out of a list of 10 best rated for quality and taste! 😋👍

  • 5/5 Ricardo K. 4 years ago on Google
    I love Panera, especially their healthy options. I went with my son to get us some food and have a break away from the usual things. I really like Paneras soups around this time of year. The autumn squash soup so so good! I got my son the turkey chili with beans in it. I asked the lady for a smoothie with the least sugar and she recommended the super fruit smoothie. It taste really good. Lastly we got the Greek yogurt parfait. My son and I really liked it. He said it was yummy!

    Poor service, we ordered online (from Panerabread.com, not a 3rd party) at 3:40 PM, we received a confirmation that our order would be delivered by 4:30-4:45. To give the store time we called at 5pm. We were told our order was cancelled by a 3rd party delivery service. I ended up speaking with a manager and the best option she can provide was for her to cancel our order on her computer. This doesnt fix anything, we have been waiting over an hour and 20 mins for our food. She offered no solution to make it right. I am so disappointed.

    Def my favorite Panera in the area! Kayla in the drive thru was so sweet tonight thanks for making me laugh & the amazing customer service! Love when young kids are sweet & polite :)

  • 5/5 Fernando Y. 3 years ago on Google
    This PANERA is amazing. It's big, roomy and comfy. Food is well presented and delicious. The coffee is great! The team that works there is friendly and polite. One can feel a nice atmosphere that pervades throughout the store. I guess it's because KRIS - the manager on duty - does a fine job leading his work team and - of course - his store. KRIS helped me out in today's visit and managed to get my takeout delivery order perfect! Good job!

  • 1/5 JGM J. 7 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    I am not one to write a review that offen. It normally happens when I receive exceptional service or service so bad that I need to write about it. My wife and I visit this location very often because we consider it one of our lunch spots close to our jobs. So my wife arrived a bit early so she places our order. A bowl for her and a side salad and soup for me with two coffees. We waited and our name was called. We picked up our food but was missing the soup. My wife went up to the counter where they place your food and asked for the soup. She was directed to the ordering station. She asked the young lady if the soup was going to come out. She looked at my wife with a blank stare and said I will check. My wife cam back to eat her lunch. About 5 minutes later nothing ! so my wife went back up and spoke to her once again asking for the soup and once again the young lady said something unlegedgeable. My wife cam back to the table and about 5 minutes later the same young lady came to the table and asked if we still wanted the soup ???????? my wife responded yes my husband would like to eat. She replied then you need to pay for it. We both looked at her in confusion. We placed the order and paid for it and did not receive our whole order. We grabbed our receipt and looked and noticed that she only charged us for the side salad when it clearly shows that we ordered You pick 2. My wife went back to the order desk and let the young lady know that she should be more careful when taking a customers order and pointed out that she only charged us for one coffee also. The young lady got offended, and walked away and then my wife had another young lady ( Emily) in her face telling her her she should not talk to her that way then three other employees came over to watch what was going on. My wife explained that everyone makes mistakes but over and over when all we wanted to do was have lunch. Emily got snappy and they is when I got involved and asked my wife to take the credit card out of the machine and please cancel the soup. Emily said FINE, I asked Emily if I could speak to a manager and I was told I am the manager. I said great may I have your name and a number to speak your manager.....My name is Emily and I will not provide you with my last name or a phone number. You can call corporate. I said great thank you. We went back and didn't even finish what we ordered. Well I guess is safe to say that we will no longer be going to Panera for lunch. You know the old saying you tell more people about your bad experiences then the few good ones you receive. Shame on you Paners for not training your people. Nothing about the young lady who made a mistake, she was trying her best.
