Reviews for Panera Bread in Round Lake Beach, IL
My wife loves Panera bread with my dietary restrictions. There isn't a lot I can eat on the menu. One thing u can is a fuji... apple salad. I said what the heck and went all out on it. Added avocado, an egg and double chicken. With all that it cameout to over $16. It was decent accept for the freeze dried apple chips. They where so tough and chewy it honestly ruined thesalad. I also noticed they had a smoothie with almond milk. Rare to see that so I jumped on it. It wasn't cheap at $6 but Ifigured it would be worth it. When I got it I was disappointed to see a super small 16oz cup. Not even Starbucks charges thatmuch for a smoothie. It tasted ok but was super watery and for the price wasn't even close to worth it. Total for my meal was$26. I could have had a steak for that. I'm still puzzled why my wife likes the place so much! Read more
We placed a huge call ahead order for a clients wedding get ready brunch. The food was well prepared, hot and ready on time. The... employee went through the order with me to ensure everything was correct. Nice job! Read more
This Panera constantly forgets items and apparently refuses to put silverware in the bags when you?re ordering delivery. Highly... recommend only ordering at the restaurant so at least if they mess up your order you can get what you paid for. Read more
Far and away the weakest sandwich I have ever seen. Barely any tuna and 90% lettuce. If I wanted to replicate this sandwich I... could go out to my backyard with a loaf of bread pick some grass and slap a dollar can of tuna on it for 3 bucks. $12.00 forthis sandwich is more ridiculous then buying a warranty on a used car. Step up or shut down Panera, this is highway robbery. Read more
This is what they gave me for a flatbread pizza pepperoni and sausage Half without cheese and the sausage is not even cooked... well it?s all mushy . Read more
Edit: The food quality has gone down at this location. Especially the fresh items like salads. I didn't eat my last lunch... because I was worried the lettuce would make me sick. It's becoming more hit or miss than consistent. I love finding just theright spot to sit here. My favorite is sitting outside on a nice day. Read more
What is happening to my favorite Panera!? This store is in Round Lake Beach, IL. For years it has been top-of-the-line, but... recently things have been slipping badly. Bakery items are severely over-baked (as the bear claw pictured below). The bearclaws often have very few almonds, and hardly any icing drizzled on them. The French baguettes are under-risen and flat, andalmost impossible to cut with a sharp knife. I had a breakfast sandwich with sausage yesterday, and the sausage patty wasshrunken, hard, and dried out, like it had gone over-cooked in a microwave, but it was a to-go order so I couldn?t complain andget a new sandwich! All of this is so unusual for this Panera. It breaks my heart ! Read more
This is the last time I ever go to Panera again...if you are going to charge $8.80 for HALF of a salad at least give enough... dressing. Read more
