Reviews for Panera Bread in Oak Park Heights, MN
Very odd. You can only order on the kiosk. The selection is half of what it use to be. The food came out quickly but it was like... getting a meal from the a cafeteria middle school. The piece of bread they put on your place is not edible. Just throw that outmy goodness. The new almond chicken sandwich has potential I guess. The 3 inch thick bread on top and bottom just doesn't work.Show me a person that can legitimately take a bite and actually enjoy it. Id say it's dry but obviously it's dry with thatamount of bread. The grilled cheese was so buttery and the amount of cheese is absurd. The place is empty the drinks are warm ifthere are any. I don't know if I will be back, to be honest I'm not sure if this place will survive. Read more
Best option is to get the "Half & Half" meaning half a sandwich and a cup of soup. It's plenty of food for one person. Try the... Bacon Turkey Bravo and the Creamy Tomato Soup, I order it every time. Read more
First time I've eaten at Panera in a long time. I ordered French onion soup and a Turkey bacon Bravo sandwich. The soup tasted... nothing like onion soup, it tasted like it was tomato based. Had my girlfriend taste it. She said, tastes just like tomato soup.The turkey sandsandwich had this really weird flavor. I deconstructed the sandwich to figure it out but I couldn't. Just notgood overall. Read more
I had to order on the kiosk. For what you pay for the cost of food here you shouldn't have to do the job of the workers too. ... Kiosk said all drinks and desserts were sold out and visual stock said otherwise. My French onion soup was onions and broth. Nocheese no croutons. I got 1 ½ cups of onions for over $6. My daughter's kids meal came with less then a cup of mac and cheeseand a gogurt for over $6. The quality and quantity was not worth the money spent. Plus when you pay this much for fast food youshouldn't have to service yourself and then be asked to tip. No fast food service restaurant should even suggest a tip ever. They are already being paid above minimum wage to do their job. Not a service wage plus tips to equal minimum wage. Normally idon't give bad reviews but i was not impressed at all in what i recieved for $30. Read more
Stopped in on Saturday morning, October 15, on my way from Saint Paul to Saint Croix Falls. There was no counter service, as a... sign said they were short staffed, so expect to wait 10 to 15 minutes. I self ordered coffee and an egg and bacon souffle, noproblem. I did see several bacon and egg souffles behind the display glass, however once I opened my order in my car, I saw theygave me the spinach egg souffle. Checked my receipt. Yep. It said ???? bacon. In better times, I could always watch them fill myorder. If we must order ourselves, I would like them to take extra care in filling it correctly. Please! With the long waittime, I had no desire to go back in and reorder. Especially as I was meeting others at a specified time. Read more
Decided on Panera for lunch. It was ruined by bad service through the drive thru. Asked for the bread bowl with the bowl size.... Got charged for a bowl and received a cup instead of a bowl. Sandwich was also missing when I received the bag. Also no spoonfor soup and no napkins or butter. Read more
I usually don't review franchise or large corporate restaurants. I'm make the exception just to say to got really good service... today. Plus, I tried their pizza for the first time. Had no idea Panerai could do a nice pizza. Loved the crust. My son hadthe Mac and cheese, of course. Read more
Very average food that's overpriced for what it is. The staff was disorganized and didn't have the right ingredients for my... order so I had to substitute some stuff. The dude who yelled my order was so quiet I actually walked up there in confusion. Ifyou work in a loud restaurant, SPEAK UP! Read more
