I love this Panera bread and I go to this one cause it's closer than going to the one that's on Metcalf. I was w/ my grandpa and the girl at the counter got my order, and his order wrong. I told her that I waned green tea and she just plop the cup down on the counter after we paid for our order. (Cause they fill it up for you as you order) Then I'm sending up there by the juice bar like an idiot and then she asked "what's wrong?" I said I wanted a green tea and she's like "oh you said ice tea." Luckily the manger was standing there and got me what I wanted. Then when our pagers were going off so we went to go get our food my grandpa got a" pick two" and he looked and there was two soup. She got the order wrong again. a "pick two" is a (sandwich and a soup) anyway they fixed the order and we enjoyed our food.

Good place to eat. Food is really good here and the service has been quick every time I've been here. I recently had the Pasta Primavera and it was delicious. Just the right amount of food. It was a bit pricey, but the primavera was definitely worth it. Had one of there blueberry muffins from the bakery and it was also delicious. If you haven't tried this place I would suggest to try it. They also have free wifi as well so come in have some lunch and if you need to work on some stuff bring in a laptop and get some stuff done.

Like the rest of the paneras, was a little messy, and the staff was ok but absent minded. (Forgot to relay my order to the cooks)

Just like all the other Paneras I've been to. Good service, clean, and yummy food. No complaints but also nothing super special about this one.

Clean like most Panera's. Great service. Saw alot of people on the wifi so I am assuming that it works. Food was excellent. The only downside is the location. You have to try and find parking and on the weekend that could be a problem.

As a fan of Panera in a pinch, it is disappointing to me to write this review. While it is related in particular to this location; however, the information would be useful across franchises. Extra apples are a nice offer and all when you know you screw something up, but really, I'd rather just have my order or information correct. Employees need to know the differences between menu options, and when menu options change. Please do not attempt to sell a customer an item claiming it is "just like" another one, with only one addition. Case in point: When I ordered a Mediterranean Chicken Salad off of the Hidden Menu and was informed the Hidden Menu was no more, I was told the NEW Mediterranean Chicken Salad was "just like it", but with quinoa. This is NOT the case, and imagine my dismay after husband drove the 20 minutes home to present me with the salad. First off: huge calorie difference - almost double the calories in this new one. Second, this one had a oily greek dressing where the other one was squeezed lemon and the customer's choice of how much olive oil they sprinkled on there. Third, this new one had olives. LOTS of them. And I cannot stand olives or the taste that lingers on everything they touch. Fourth, there was no egg or bacon. Fifth (and this is the only one I was told about): quinoa, which is fine. Also, two grilled cheese sandwiches in the same panini press may not be a good idea. Neither sandwich was grilled or toasted in the least, instead smashed/crooked and soggy. It is a fairly busy location. But quality should not be rushed just to get people through. I will think twice before choosing to visit this location with all the other choices within Legends.

One of the more hectic Paneras I've been to, this is more of a reflection on their iced coffee at this location, rather than their food selection or service. Their iced coffee is self serve at the coffee counter and it was actually THE MOST watered down coffee ever. It looked like a thinned our iced tea. Made me really regret not ordering a large over the medium. How else can I be properly fueled up to shop?

I stopped into Panera today for some warmth and hot chocolate while shopping at Legends. The line was long but they moved us through fast with little wait time. Juan took my order and made a killer hot chocolate. Chocolate marshmallows and Carmel topping. It was perfect! To top the whole experience off I used my Panera Card and had a free drink on it so my drink was free. Couldn't ask for anything better!

In general I love Paneras., both the atmosphere and the food. This particular Paneras by the Speedway needs to be cleaned. The floor is dirty, and the spoon they gave me was dirty. I had to ask for another one, and was told it was the "hard water" they have at that location.

I love Panera. The employees are always super nice, and their pumpkin lattes are amazing. I do have a major complaint about their wifi though. I've yet to find a Panera where I don't fight with their internet. This Panera is by far the worst. There are numerous ppl around me also complaining about not being able to connect. It's pretty ridiculous, and will force me to use other businesses when I work out of office since my job requires Wifi. Still, friendly staff and their pumpkin latte is ten times better than Starbucks!

I normally wouldn't review Panera, because really.. it's Panera.. However, this Panera has THE nicest employees! Even when it's busy, they don't make you feel rushed, I've never had an order messed up, and they are just plain friendly. Their espresso tastes like dirt, but I'd never admit this to the employees because they are just so darn nice!

This is a varying place to go. Sometimes its great to eat lunch or dinner, kind of quiet and the atmosphere is good. Other times you can walk in to way too many children and obnoxious adults talking loud enough that you can heat them across the room no problem. If you want food fast go here but otherwise I would find somewhere else to go.
