    What is happening to my favorite Panera!? This store is in Round Lake Beach, IL. For years it has been top-of-the-line, but recently things have been slipping badly. Bakery items are severely over-baked (as the bear claw pictured below). The bear claws often have very few almonds, and hardly any icing drizzled on them. The French baguettes are under-risen and flat, and almost impossible to cut with a sharp knife. I had a breakfast sandwich with sausage yesterday, and the sausage patty was shrunken, hard, and dried out, like it had gone over-cooked in a microwave, but it was a to-go order so I couldn’t complain and get a new sandwich! All of this is so unusual for this Panera. It breaks my heart !

    The strawberry lemon poppyseed salad is so good, fresh, and clean. I get mine with chicken but you can order it without if you are vegetarian. I also love the charged lemonade strawberry lemon mint, the apple cranberry one is good too. I haven't tried the Mango Citrus yet but I'm sure it is good too. I also recommend the Mac and cheese it's so good 👍

    Far and away the weakest sandwich I have ever seen. Barely any tuna and 90% lettuce. If I wanted to replicate this sandwich I could go out to my backyard with a loaf of bread pick some grass and slap a dollar can of tuna on it for 3 bucks. $12.00 for this sandwich is more ridiculous then buying a warranty on a used car. Step up or shut down Panera, this is highway robbery.

    This is for the Panera Bread in Round Lake Beach, Illinois: We had soups for a quick lunch, chicken noodle for me and French onion for my friend. Both soups were hot and tasty, and ready by the time we had paid. Both soups came with the ubiquitous french baguette, which is always good. I also had a croissant, which was perfectly flaky, if not a tad large for one person. I took home a chocolate brownie, which was wholly adequate as a dessert; be careful that you don’t get the powdered sugar on your clothes ! The restaurant itself was fairly clean for it being lunch time; the back end just seemed to be a bit too dark for me. I like to see what’s in my soup. I’d recommend this a a good lunch spot if you’re in the area. Check the menu for the various sandwiches that are offered.

    One of the worst Paneras you can ever visit. The workers aren’t very friendly and when it comes to the experience eating here, it’s pretty outdated. I recommend visiting by the Panera in Gurnee which is pretty modern because it’s a new location. This place is pretty dull and sad looking. The food itself is okay, I like the food and service at the Gurnee location better but I visited this one because it was near me at the time. 1/10 don’t recommend this location.

    Edit: The food quality has gone down at this location. Especially the fresh items like salads. I didn't eat my last lunch because I was worried the lettuce would make me sick. It's becoming more hit or miss than consistent. I love finding just the right spot to sit here. My favorite is sitting outside on a nice day.

    This is the last time I ever go to Panera again...if you are going to charge $8.80 for HALF of a salad at least give enough dressing.

    Great job, Sophie! You took care of the wasp near me with calm and grace. Thanks for understanding my severe allergy. You are a wonderful asset to Panera!

    Great Panera. This Panera has a drive thru that works quickly and is easy to get in and out of. The inside is large and spacious. They are usually pretty busy for breakfast and lunches. They do a great job with the food when you dine in or go through drive thru. They also handle allergens very well. We have never had an allergy related issue here. I have had a few issues with catering when ordering for work but otherwise they do a great job.

    My wife loves Panera bread with my dietary restrictions. There isn't a lot I can eat on the menu. One thing u can is a fuji apple salad. I said what the heck and went all out on it. Added avocado, an egg and double chicken. With all that it came out to over $16. It was decent accept for the freeze dried apple chips. They where so tough and chewy it honestly ruined the salad. I also noticed they had a smoothie with almond milk. Rare to see that so I jumped on it. It wasn't cheap at $6 but I figured it would be worth it. When I got it I was disappointed to see a super small 16oz cup. Not even Starbucks charges that much for a smoothie. It tasted ok but was super watery and for the price wasn't even close to worth it. Total for my meal was $26. I could have had a steak for that. I'm still puzzled why my wife likes the place so much!

    This Panera constantly forgets items and apparently refuses to put silverware in the bags when you’re ordering delivery. Highly recommend only ordering at the restaurant so at least if they mess up your order you can get what you paid for.

    I recently visited the Panera in Round Lake Beach, and it was a delightful experience. The staff was friendly and welcoming, making the ordering process quick and efficient. The menu had a wide range of options, from delicious sandwiches and salads to mouthwatering soups and pastries. The food was fresh and flavorful, prepared with high-quality ingredients. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, perfect for a casual meal or catching up with friends. Additionally, the free Wi-Fi and ample seating made it a great spot for getting work done. Overall, the Panera in Round Lake Beach offers a satisfying and enjoyable dining experience.

    Old lettuce used in my large Fugitive apple salad. Never eating there again. Not sure what the sticks are

    Stop leaving drinks unmixed. I’m ordering a $6 latte. The least you could do is mix the syrup into the actual drink. Don’t just leave it at the bottom for me to struggle to mix it with my soon-to-be-broken straw. This has happened on multiple occasions now, and it’s infuriating.

    On January 22 at 2:40 PM I use the drive-through for the first time. I had such a pleasant experience I even forgot one of my items to order and Becky was so helpful

  • 2/5 Alice F. 1 year ago on Google
    Person at window did not check order and failed to include the two brownies I ordered. Why can’t people be more attentive to the customer orders! I should get a credit for what was not given.

  • 1/5 perry f. 4 years ago on Google
    I was not happy at all with my purchase. I ordered the chicken caesar salad. They seriously only put 6 tiny little pieces of chicken in my salad and not only that it was mix with Crouton crumbs! Smh I know what your salad is supposed to look like and that was not it.I was so angry when I got home. I normally go in the inside and I will never go thought Drive-thru again. Another thing why do you guys charge almost 1$ for an extra piece of bread that's so tiny?!? Come on now! I may just STOP COMING to this place period.

  • 4/5 Arianna W. 4 years ago on Google
    I am goving it 4 stars just because of one small thing. With the salads they put dressing on it instead of on the side. Personally there was too much dressing in the Fuji Apple but make sure to ask for the dressing on the side. The silverware was also a bit gross and dirty :( but overall good customer service

    We placed a to go order. When it was set on the counter, they had it prepared for eating there. When we pointed it out, both workers looked at each other and us clearly annoyed and irritated. Got to the job site, and there was a long dark hair in my bacon turkey bravo. My husband liked his food, which is something.

  • 5/5 Jay V. 5 months ago on Google
    I can't say on the food, as I don't really eat there, but the Sip Club brings me in for daily coffee. It's consistent, good coffee and because of my job, I'm able to make it in once or twice a day. Staff are great.

  • 5/5 Julie K. 1 year ago on Google
    I love the rapid pick up. Quick and convenient. Brilliant! The grilled cheese and tomato soup awesome. The new spicy chicken sandwich good but not spicy and the chicken is small. Otherwise 5 stars.

  • 2/5 Jerry B. 1 year ago on Google
    In general Panera is pretty good but this specific store seems to be where employees are sent as a last resort before they get fired for not doing their job. Every time I'm foolish enough to go to this store, they get my order wrong, and most of the time they act like "we have to throw this away, so why don't you just eat it and not make us fix your order correctly?" If I'm paying them for a service, I expect them to do it right, not make me accept their mistakes.

    i went to order a mediterranean sandwich (veggie sandwich that is to die for) with a passion papaya tea (which is super good, u should try it). matt greeted me with such respect and asked how my day was going. he took my order and he was super fast! best panera worker out there! definitely needs a raise because of how amazing his customer service is! food 10/10! customer service 10/10!! hope he takes my order next time!!

    Breakfast sandwiches are amazing. I like to customize my own on the app. My Panera sip club is great. This location is always fast and accurate.

  • 4/5 Anthony P. 4 months ago on Google
    Panera is a great place to take a break and meet regularly with friends. Food is high quality and well prepared. Staff is always friendly and smiling... If you become a regular, consider joining the coffee club... If you're a dessert person, nothing beats a Panera fruit ring...simply delicious. And the nice thing is they are consistent from location to location...

  • 4/5 Jan R. 1 year ago on Google
    Panerai has good healthy food and they are fast in the drive through. I've only has one order messed up.

  • 1/5 Susan S. 11 months ago on Google
    I have been so pleased with the food and service for years at Round Lake Panera. However, yesterday,(Sunday) I was insulted and treated rudely by the afternoon front order staff. The assistant manager ignored my feelings and showed poor customer training. However, the weekday Staff always pleasant and helpful.

    My wife and I live in St Augustine, FL. We were minding our own business one night watching TV together when we notice Panera Inc’s intolerably shoddy system was breached, unfurling a series of obviously fraudulent charges across several U.S. states transpire on my wife’s debit card. The consequences from there continued as it caused several checks to bounce after Panera carelessly allowed $134 in several small charges rack up. After several follow ups with their incompetent “fraud team” we were able to recover most of the stolen funds except $35.21 from Round Lake Beach. We were told this was because when explained to the private vendor in Round Lake, they “refused” to return the stolen money from the victims living over 1,000 miles away. This is shameful on the part of Panera; and perhaps even more so on the part of the small American business owners who seem to have rationalized their own disregard for protecting their customers from fraud. Also, your sandwiches are too bready, often stale and leave the consumer with an uncomfortably heavy feeling in the stomach. The owners here should cut their losses and reinvest their capital in some venture unrelated to customer service; something like payday loans or whatever might allow them to fleece their customers unmitigated by conscience for a paltry $35. God bless America you pr*cks.
