Panera Bread

First time going here and wow. Very varied selection. Kinda pricey but the food is made with care and it came out fresh. The atmosphere is like an upgraded Starbucks and is very nice family oriented environment. The food was amazing. The Flatbread pizza wasn't drenched in grease and the chocolate chip muffie didn't survive for the photo op. When visiting the Shreveport Bossier area, we will stop by for a great bite to eat! Our second time was even Better. The fuji apple salad and broccoli macncheese combo is very delicious.

This was my first visit, restaurant was clean & not busy at 4pm. Service was nice and the cashier was very helpful. The reason I didnt give it 5 stars is for my sandwich. It tasted good but didn't meet my expectations for a $10 steak sandwich. My wife enjoyed her turkey & avocado sandwich, and said hers was made different than mine (didn't get a pic of hers). She also enjoyed her bowl of Broccoli cheddar soup. The portions are small for the price imo. Smoothie sizes are one size & that looks like a McDonald's small cup by comparison.

I ordered the Chicken Strawberry Poppyseed Salad with extra dressing and a soft roll. I was very disappointed. I had to ask for the extra dressing and the soft roll. I had 3 little slivers of chicken. I never take my food back because I’m afraid of the retaliation. Gonna rethink returning to this location.

Very disappointed. I paid $12 for 2 small ups of Mac n cheese. I opened the bag when I got home to find 2 stale chunks of bread and 2 cups of Mac and cheese. 1 of the cups was only half full the other was less than 3/4 full. I understand inflation but this is unacceptable. The Mac and cheese I did have was really good but still the portion to the price is completely unacceptable.

My review shares the same level of dissatisfaction for the steak sandwich as Mike G. His sandwich looks better than mine, mine barely had any meat and the onions are practically non-existent. This is not what I expected for a $12 sandwich, must less from Panera bread. Look at the picture of what I received versus what I was expecting. LOL. I know its fast food but still.
