Panera Bread
Reviews
Good stuff, just a tad pricey.
Too expensive. Especially the box lunches.
Way to expensive
The food is decent and that is always good, but the prices are very expensive for what I consider counter service food. The other thing is that I am very disappointed in the things they keep taking away. They use to have a sandwich card (GONE!), coffee card (GONE!), specialty drink card (Gone!), whole bowl of soup with a pick two, (Gone! Now a cup), TV (GONE!), I also believe their portions are getting smaller. I use to love this restraurant, but there are so many other restaurants that are much better and less expensive.
I agree wholly with Gary's review, below. For 'counter food', it certainly has an above average taste, but compared to when I was in the same store two years ago, the menu selections have dropped to nothing. I paid $14+change for a sandwich and soup, where I could have gone to SubWay and gotten twice to three times the food for the same price, and just about as good taste. Gary is also correct that the portions are getting smaller, less than half the size of two years ago, although the fatty potato chips are still the same pre-portioned size(again, no choice of flavours there). And what happened to the Jones' Sodas? Probably the best deal is the WiFi, which I did not even use. Very disappointing, and I will not be going to another Panera Bread-anywhere-again.
