I ordered a ceaser salad in my to-go order, the dressing appeared to be included as a formality rather than a component, the little container I was given was filled about 1/4th with dressing and its smaller than my pinkie finger, at that point just keep the dressing don’t tease me.

This is SERIOUS: Bread is hard/ items missing/ Low quality/ Don’t expect refund or replacements just expect the food as if they are donating and never ask: We ordered online for breakfast sandwiches of 4 : 3 egg white avocado sandwiches and 1 chipotle avo sandwhich, but these 3 avocado egg white sandwiches doesn’t contain avocado tomatoes atall they just kept bread and egg white for all three sandwiches, when asked the manager and staff they want to refund for only one? And they refused for neither refund nor the resolution.. just for 20$ we ordered thousand of dollars value from this Panera and how these people behave for customer service and value is unacceptable they are arguing for this small thing .. they only asked us to come so that they would give refund or replace but when went there they did this unacceptable behavior.. we thought one picture would be enough but they need all pictures . Never faced with any others like this. So are these pictures enough? I still have rhe bread with me just to give you today, my husband also went there he forgot bread at home and the picture was not enough for them, The bread is so hard as well atleast with avocado we could eat this hard sandwich.. it was with breakfast package we are ordering or else i would never.. you lost 4 people just from us as your favorite customers. So money is not value for you neither do the customer satisfaction in food industry.. serving people with food .. and when caught you guys not only upset with customer but also behave inhumane.. its better if you need money freeely you must have told us.. not by doing this with customer. We ordered food because we were hungry not that just to pour money for just bread and omlet which we can prepare at home am i right? Posting the image of your second sandwich.. the first sandwich image my husband showed you at your location.. the second sandwich which I didn’t eat atall i attached below image, the third sandwich i was hungry so ate omlet just and thrown that outer bread as it was hard to eat.. trash was picked up by valet so i would advise you to go and search where the valet was dumped off if you need that proof as well.. Managers behaving at such a level imhumane is unacceptable.. no polite and just demanding conversation my husband faced today.. very argumentative and disrespectful. I am holding this bread for two more days if you need physical proof you may take it .. i am holding for two more days and this would go to trash as well..

I order from Panera regularly and I have never experienced what I did today. It is 12/6/25 and I order to pick up at 2:20pm. I ordered the pick 2. A 1/2 garden caprese melt and a 1/2 ranch parm BLT salad and it was completely inedible. First off the salad was put in the bag upside down and open and the sandwich was so saturated in sauce that I couldn’t even pick it up. I was extremely disappointed. Not sure what is going on but this is the first time I have ever gotten food that I couldn’t eat from Panera and I probably won’t be coming back to the Lincoln location. Smh

I always enjoy panera’s food, except for the staff. Their rude, and throw your food on the counter and leave it there without calling your name. Whoever, made my salad the day I went clearly don’t know how to make a caesar salad which contains 3 items. I rate this place 2 out of 5.

Totally obsessed with the food here!!! I had bagels, salads, and soups – all amazing. Definitely try the bread soups, they’re unique and so good!

First off, I got the agave lemonade & I’m gonna go back again for another one. Also, I got the Smokehouse BBQ pulled chicken sandwhich & honestly, I know what smoked meat tastes like. I’ve had some good smoked/pulled meat in Texas but this was NOT it. It was good as far as tasty & edible but the smoke & bbq flavor is 99.99% from the good but not special bbq sauce. Also, the sandwhich could have been a bit more toasted. The chicken chipotle avocado sandwhich was super tasty. It didn’t look like there was much on the inside but the sandwhich was SUPER pack full of flavor & it was super tasty. I got the regular mac & cheese for this pic with bacon & it was not worth the extra money paying for MAYBE about a quarter of a piece of bacon to essentially be added to my order but the mac & cheese honestly was good as heck. I even tried the broccoli mac & cheese and that was worth it as well. By the way,, their kettle cooked chips smack as well & I’d personally say better than Cape Cod brand chips. Overall, Panera does not give the biggest portion sizes. If you eat a lot, you’ll be disappointed but the taste of their food is worth it.

In a pinch, definitely better than fast food. I particularly enjoy the soup in a bread bowl. That said, it’s definitely overpriced and the portions are small. This location strikes me as … well … a Panera Bread. (appreciated the service, though)

I never seen a place with employees with so low enthusiasm, when you ask to slice your bagels they just throw them in the machine like you throw something in the trash can, needless to say they come out with an odd shape. They need a little motivation, if you don’t like your job seek a different career.

Wow, portions are getting smaller and smaller. $7 and change for a half salad! This tiny container that was 1/3 full, came out to $1.50 per bite of salad. Also with enough dressing for 2 pieces of lettuce

Went to pick up my poppyseed salad on Sunday afternoon to get a bowl of lettuce and 3 strawberries when I question who I believe is the assistant manager why I only had 3 strawberries for a $14 salad she said to me the manager is trying to cut down oh OK but still charge me the same!! That was her response and that was it .. I walked away with a bowl of lettuce and 3 strawberries for my strawberry poppyseed salad that cost me $13.79. This is the service at Lincoln Rhode Island this isn’t the first time but me giving people a second chance I decided let me try again same woman, same assistant manager, poor service and doesn’t care about her customers don’t go .,stay away, . stay away
