Service was great either. I noticed people who ordered after me were getting their food before me. I guess they weren’t processing the orders in a first come first serve order.
The food was what you may expect from Panera. Ordered the soup yet there was no option for bread bowl so they paired it with a small baguette. I also ordered a Bear Claw and I overlooked the fact that it might have sat there the entire morning and day yet it looked very appetizing. I have seen much larger pastries at other locations.
The big need for improvement here is the dining experience. The restrooms were a mess. The trash over flowed and there wasn’t any paper towels. There was no napkins available at the pickup bar. I noticed at least 3 patrons ask for napkins. The trash recepticals in the dining area also needed plenty of attention as plates continued to be stacked as patrons left.
Lastly, I feel the posters that present certain Panera food deals diminish the classiness of the cafe. In addition, the ipad for quick ordering also negatively affects the dining experience. These two factors makes it feel more like a fastfood eatery.
This location also has a rather large outdoor dining.
-Unsanitary Conditions: It’s apparent that the building is several years old with how the carpet inside being completely filthy. On top of this the management inside isn’t on top of keeping the building clean with regular sights of dirt, food, crumbs, napkins and more all seen in the ground. At multiple tables on the ground these types of trash are common.
-Long waiting times for food: Another common trend found is the long waiting times for food. I’ve witnessed first hand of how some customers have waited up um 30 minutes for a single soup or sandwich. What makes this worse is when you ask one of the employees about your food, they respond back with an aggressive and disrespectful manner back to you. On top of the waiting time, the food is overpriced for what you get. An entire meal that includes a sandwich, soup and a drink costs as much as 2 whole sandwiches from Porto’s that can feed up to 4 people.
-Dirty Bathrooms: the bathrooms inside are always filthy. The floors are covered with black stain marks from customer but from homeless people especially. There can be paper towels on the ground, toilet paper, sink water, toilet water, even hairs (as seen in the sink photo) and more. And the bathrooms are like this the entire day until when the restaurant closes at 9 where employees lazily dragged an old mop to “clean” the floors.
-Homeless People: a number of homeless people roam around inside of the Panera location. This includes a gentleman who lives inside of 2 cars that are regularly parked within the parking lot of the Panera. He has a goatee and long white hair on top of always wearing sunglasses while also always sitting in the sitting area past the self serve drinks area inside. What makes this individual stand out more is how he sprouts out conspiracy theories on COVID-19 and Donald Trump while also having been kicked out the restaurant before in the past (although the next day, he easily comes back in with no involvement from the staff whatsoever). Then there’s a Asian American homeless woman who brings her entire cart inside of the building and spend large days on end inside of the building. There have been at times where she has fallen asleep at one of the tables with no saying from the manager John or any of the employees (even though this is supposed to be a family restaurant and not a homeless shelter). Her cart is in one of the photos included in the review. Another thing that these homeless people do inside is that there have been cases where they’ve have stolen other customers food !!! They wait for when Jon (the MANAGER) is distracted along with other employees and they take the food right off the counter inside. They also take the plastic cups that are reserved for laying customers inside without any intervention from the employees inside.
Overall I would highly recommend going to a different restaurant for any types of meals in the surrounding areas or cities. Not only is this restaurant riddled with homeless people that make eating inside uncomfortable but goes against the image of family friendly that Panera strives for. Long waiting times for food, overpriced food, dirty bathrooms, dirty floors, and more all await if you plan on visiting this Panera location. If you ever want to file a complaint against management, look for the manager named John. He has a black bread and typically wears flannel style shirts inside.
