Panera Bread

It’s Panera Bread. Food is pretty much always the same (and that’s not a bad thing). It’s a good place to go to when you’re not feeling fast food but you’d still like to go out for an inexpensive lunch during work hours. The staff at this location is always kind and the service is super quick. My only gripe is that for this location, there’s far too little seating for the rush they get during lunch hours. Every time I’ve gone in there’s pretty much a line of people craning around, waiting for diners to get up so they can pounce on the seat.

The food itself is the same as any Panera:. However service could be improved.
I was not asked for my phone number linked to my rewards card. Instead of using pagers or a fancy system to deliver to your table, you just have to queue at the delivery wall, waiting for your number to be called. Waiting does allow time to locate the order number, printed in a small font, at the bottom of the ticket.
I ate at this location twice (breakfast one time, lunch the other), with similar experiences.

I love the foood! My boyfriend and I go every week for lunch and alway enjoy what we order. Greek salad with chicken is by far my favorite and he enjoys the broccoli cheddar soup in the sour dough bread bowl. The only negative is sometimes they run out of the sour dough bread bowls but besides that this place is awesome for grabbing a quick lunch !

Literally worst Panera I’ve ever been to, because of the people!!! The food is great… But the staff is so rude and sassy. I’ve never seen such negative energy around. They also alway mess up large orders. I am always missing something. Most people I know goes up to the other Panera. Much better service! (Must add: I have given this location 5 tries, they fail miserably each time)

It’s panera! The food is always amazing and fresh! I go here almost every day for my fixings of the soba noodle bowl with chicken! I usually get the rapid pick up which is really convenient with my schedule.
I just wish they could make panera a bit bigger so on days that I decide to dine in, it wouldn’t be such a problem finding a table. This location is often really packed!

If you’re looking for a place that look healthy and delicious? This is a place to go. I like to come in the morning to grab a coffee and order any of their delicious bakery selections or bagels. At lunch or dinner I would order meal that is half and half deal with lemonade drink. Foods are delicious. Love their patio space. Also the place is very cozy and friendly. Always clean.

This panera bread is the best has really nice staff there service is good food is fresh and hot I recommend people going here there food is delicious.

I went to panera because I wanted something fresh and tasty. I was shocked by the cost of the food, over $ 13 for my to — go order. I could go to olive garden and sit down for that price! This still would have been ok if the food had been good, but it was terrible, flavorless, chicken that looked pink, unseasoned and canned. The bread was similarly flavorless and soggy. The apple that came with my meal was tiny, bruised and pitted. I’m so disappointed, definitely won’t go back.

Very efficiently run location. Don’t let a line fool you.

This was a terrible experience compared with the one I usually go on Long Island NY. I ordered classic chicken but found only vegetable. Veges are not fresh. I missed the shrimp salad in my hometown. Won’t come for a second time!

When you go to a place like Panera Bread, you go because you pretty much know what you’re getting. However, this particular franchise leaves a lot to be desired in the food and cleanliness department.
I’d like to say that the girls at the register were very friendly and helpful with selecting menu items.
I ordered the chicken salad sandwich and the sesame asian salad with chicken for my wife. I guess Panera must be hurting because there was hardly any chicken on my chicken salad sandwich (pretty much just 1 piece of lettuce and tomato with a few pieces of chicken) and there was only a few pieces of chicken in my wife’s salad. To make matters worse, there was a black hair wrapped around one of the pieces of chicken.
Gross.

Very kind service at this Panera Bread branch. Food is delicious and reasonably priced. I come here often for a delicious lunch.

Lunch today. Good, fresh food as usual. Can’t go wrong here.

Bacon turkey bravo with extra mayo. I gotta say its a perfect sandwich, although they certainly could give you a little bit bigger bag of chips with it. Thank you St. Louis Bread Company.

The food at this location tasted soooo bad.. This place really needs some quality control.

These guys are great! they deliver to me all the time just because i work a few storefronts down. They always serve me fresh food! Also, I love their chai lattes and they are fantastic all the time!

The p[rices are pretty good, the bread and bagels pretty fresh. The quality is not the best in the planet, and I prefer my local bagel shop over the Penera on MD-​355, but the price can’t be beat. The $ 18 dollar lobster roll is a bit steep as well for what you get. Oh, well, I’ll still hit ya up oh Penera for my bagels.

It can be quite crowded during the evenings. The food is great and the staff are super friendly. The Cream of Chicken and Wild Rice Soup is the best.

Always good for a quick meal.
Although its a chain, the bakery items are always good.

I go to this Panera Bread at least several times a month, about once per week. This is the only Panera in my area and it’s at a great location next to the mall and a bunch of popular shopping centers.
This is a very popular place to eat lunch and you will often have a hard time finding a place to sit on both business days and weekends in the middle of the afternoon. The ‘quietest’ time to go is late afternoon. Expect there never to be any booths available at lunch time, or room for a large group. There are several large tables, but sometimes small groups will have no choice but to sit at them during peak hours.
This particular Panera Bread has made some nice improvements over the past year including redoing the interior (no more screechy scratched up wood floors — it’s carpeted now) and the «you pick two» side salads are now a good size instead of a few measly leaves. As to be expected, when you go at a less busy time, you will find yourself getting more generous portions of food. (They’re always about the same, but you will, for instance, get more toppings on something if they aren’t busy.)
One of my complaints about this Panera is that because it is a franchise, they don’t have coffee cards. Their coffee is EXCELLENT, and I would really like for them to have coffee cards. If they did, I would buy coffee there on every visit.
My other complaint was that it simply needs to be a lot bigger. Granted, I have a feeling that when this Panera was put in, they didn’t expect it to gain so much popularity. It really needs a lot more seating and I’m not sure they really have any options for expanding other than putting in a second location in Frederick. (I’m completely okay with this.)
All in all, it’s a great way to do lunch if you want something quick and delicious, with plenty of healthy options. Make sure to bring a fresh loaf of bread home with you!
