If I wasn't so lazy I would probably frequent Panera more. I'm usually a drive-thru kind of girl when it comes to "fast food." This location is big and always appears clean and with plenty of friendly staff to assist you. Looks like it would be a good place to set up shop and work for a while if you needed to. I really love that Panera offers such a big menu. Soups, paninis, salads, sandwiches, pasta. stew, smoothies, coffees, teas, espressos, and of course breads and other baked goods. My favorite thing to treat myself to from Panera is the cinnamon crunch bagel, toasted, with the wild blueberry cream cheese. Absolutely delicious. It pretty much tastes like a dessert. The only complaint I have is that they don't put the cream cheese on for you like Dunkin' Donuts does. I said I was lazy......... :)

I've dined at this Panera Bread a few times over the years, and my experiences have all been fairly consistent with each other and my experience with most Panera Bread locations. Panera is usually good at keeping enough people staffed so that the wait is not long, which is highly desirable for lunch dining when you're on a schedule. Lately I have taken to their seasonal salad. I've found that they rotate the spotlighted salad with the seasons, which I assume is so they can offer the freshest ingredients. They almost always consist of leafy green lettuce (not the crappy iceberg lettuce!), seasoned chicken, fresh fruit, cheese, nuts, dried fruit and some form of a tasty sweet dressing. The salad is very filling. The prices are fairly decent, though beyond my budget for a daily meal there. It's still a nice treat every once in awhile.

Went here for brunch one morning and it was great as always! The person making my food though was new, and he told me that, so I was glad that I checked my order before leaving, because he forgot my entire order minus the soup. (I ordered a soup breadbowl + chips and only got the soup...no breadbowl, spoon or chips!) but after it was corrected, it was delicious!

I really love the ambiance here and the food is definitely tasty. I feel like the staff at this location are a cut above some of the other Panera bread locations that I have visited.

This panera has extremely friendly staff and fast service. Food is generally good, but don't order the steak unless you want it served basically raw. Bagels are fresh and tasty. They have the best soup around. Not a lot of vegan options, though.

This was Noel's first trip to Panera Bread, so she was very excited about stopping here. As we entered the door, the first words she said, " oh the bread smells so good!" and she is exactly correct. They have the bakery and pastry shelves right up front, enticing you to cheat on your diet...I had to be strong...oh but I wanted to cheat badly!! She ordered the Chicken Alfredo Tortellini with a side of a cup of French onion Soup with a Baguette and Frozen Lemonade. I went for the pick two..French Onion soup with Baguette and 1/2 of a Asiago Steak Sandwich...with a frozen Lemonade also...it was very good!! I always get the same thing..I sometimes change the soups in my order. I prefer the Veggie with Pesto and the French Onion is my second choice and Chicken Noodle my third..but I don't really like any of the other soup choices. I had to sneak a taste of Noel's pasta, the tortellini was very good. I also got us some butter for our baguettes. The Frozen Lemonade was good but too sweet for me. But I would drink it again. I eat at Panera Bread quite frequently downtown, and I belong to the Reward program to earn points and free items..if you are not a member you should join. You can also earn items for your birthday and anniversary.

We drove about 25 minutes to have soup and souffle and guess what? They didn't have it and the lady didn't even blink to help ; ((

I'm still on my quest to find acceptable, public wifi options in the Mt.Juliet area. Sadly, the Internet speeds here were around 0.70Mbps down and 1.3Mbps up. The good news is that it hasn't felt that slow really since I've been sitting here. Still not what I'm looking for though. Guess I got spoiled by my local coffee shop in my old town that had 10Mbps speeds. Getting onto the food, as good as expected for your Panera locations. I got the Thai Chicken salad. All the ingredients looked fairly fresh. The lettuce was nice, green and crisp. The salad was absolutely loaded with grilled chicken though, a definite plus. I was also a little surprised by the kick of the Thai dressing. A very good surprise, I really enjoyed it.

This Panera is a wonderful place. The staff that has been there a long time is very nice and warm. The food is fresh and fast. I will always pick this Panera over any of the others in Nashville.

As with other Panera Bread locations, the food is really good and the staff is super nice. However, be prepared to bring a jacket if you come in here to eat...the past few times I have eaten here, it has always been very cold in the entire building. The wi-fi connection isn't that great either.

I ate here yesterday and had the Mediterranean Chicken and potato soup around 1:30pm and usually the food is great. I normally get Cobb salad but I threw up all night and had diarrhea. I was sick sick all night. I called today and spoke with manager Jackie and she seemed unconcerned when I told her what happened. All she asked was so I need to file an insurance claim for you ? I'm like really. I know some people lie and doo cruel things but I was ill all night and still feel crappy today. She didn't even apologize for the terrible service .I won't eat there at that location again. Something was wrong with that Mediterranean Chicken .
