"Panera strives to offer a healthy selection of food and beverage." That was the assistant manager's explanation in why they changed their recipes. She added that it was a corporate decision. As I already voiced my opinion to corporate, I don't expect any change; but, I want my fellow Yelpers to know. I used to love Panera. They had the best French onion soup, some of the best sandwiches, and the best mac and cheese. Then, about a year ago...without warning...the French onion soup I ordered tasted like flavorless broth with soggy onions. My salty ham sandwich disappeared from the menu and the bacon strips on sandwiches are paper thin. Their prices have jumped quite a bit too. Tonight was about $30 for three pick two meals with one drink and two waters. You will have to decide for yourself, but if I want a super healthy dinner, I can buy Michelle Obama approved meals at WholeFoods.

Foods good but that FREAKING NASTY TEA is a put off. I am normally to busy to ever call corporate but after asking the manager 768 times to make sure the tea containers don't run out or get swapped or mixed together I made that call. Besides the fact they constantly mix the flavored teas together they are always out of regular tea because they only make a few gallons at a time. Corporate didn't seem to give a shit neither did the manager. How hard would it be to add another kettle of tea? Also what's with all the questions when you order, it just wastes a lot of time.

Tarpon Panera. has Insects All over the place, even in food. Over a month ago we ordered a breakfast sandwich and cofee and we couldnt finish our meal because the flying insects were everywhere. We told the manager and he said that they were working on the problem, at that same moment we noticed that they were being inspected by the health dept She did not offer a refund or anything. My wife had ordered a salad to go, and later in the afternoon when she was ready to eat it, she noticed bugs in the Salad. One Month later update: There is still small insects flying in dining room. We had been going to the Feather Sound Panera for a couple of years and loved it, We just moved to Tarpon and we are so disapointed in this Panera. Managment and owners should be ashamed.

Stopped in for breakfast, but was told I could only have lunch since it was after11:00 a.m. So I ordered a pick 2 with a chicken kale ceaser salad and a bowl of chedder broccoli soup; and a coffee. As I was pouring my coffee my order buzzer went off. I was amazed that they could make a salad this quickly. I picked up my food and the salad bowl was less then half full. There were 3 very thin slices of chicken about the size of a quarter also as thick. About five quarter size croutons and no dressing. I took my salad back to the counter and asked for dressing. I was given about a tablespoon of dressing in a little plastic cup; it was plenty for the amount of salad in the bowl. As I prepared to eat my soup I noticed my soup spoon was caked with dried on food on both sides. I brought it back up to the counter and told the employee I wanted a clean spoon she shoved a plastic spoon across the counter. Didn't care for the attitude. The meal was NOT worth the 10.00 plus that I paid. I would not recommend this location to anyone.

Panera is always a good choice for a healthier lunch option when you're in a hurry. They have a great selection of bakery items and lunch options. The salads, soups, and sandwiches are all great choices. My personal favorite is the Thai chicken chop salad - delicious! This particular Panera location is clean and spacious, with lots of seating area available. The service was quick and friendly as well!

Paid $8.28 for two bowls of Chicken noodle soup & a grilled cheese sandwich, but never got the sandwich. When I asked about it I was told that they did not charge me for the sandwich so I would have to go back into line to order it. Eight bucks for two bowls of soup (that were mediocre at best) and poor service to boot...Don't expect me back anytime soon.
Panera as a general fact is decent food. Their selections are good, I love their TWOFER's, where you can get a bowl of soup and half a sandwich/salad for a low price. I like making my own combinations. I just wish that you could actually look at a menu in hand vs the menu board. Sometimes I miss details of what's on the sandwich vs what I get and I get confused. I don't like a lot of toppings and hate that they might have to be re-made. Their pasta selections are good, but I'm finding that they're starting to rely on their microwaves far too much. The other day, I ordered soup combo for both me and the husbeast and both our soups were microwaved. The tell tale beep went off for both of us. And sadly my soup was only just luke warm. *sad* And only half my panini was toasty.. That never makes me happy.

The staff at this location did an amazing job and fending off a seemingly never ending line of customers. Each cashier remained calm, accurately took orders and kept the line moving. The rest of the staff also did an excellent job keeping the dining area clean and organized. 5 stars to the staff. On the other hand we had the food. Scalding hot burnt coffee with tasteless breakfast sandwiches. No thank you panera, i will stick to big apple bagel or Einstein bagels for my breakfast sandwich needs.

I decided to have Lunch. Order was taken promptly but the Cashier (Heather) wasn't enthusiastic. Food was delicious. I ordered a smoothie and about 7 minutes later, still no smoothie. Heather asked what I was waiting for (I was thinking the smoothie your rang in 8 minutes ago). Two minutes later, smoothie was done. However, the smoothie sat in the blender for about 4 minutes. Fourteen minutes later, my smoothie is ready. I'm about done with my food so I'll wait. I ask Heather to re-make my smoothie. Heather did with no hesitation but she replied that it had been waiting there for about twenty-five minutes (I'm thinking this is how LONG it took YOU to MAKE IT!)

Panera bread is a chain of breakfast/lunch restaurants that are throughout the United States. If you have never been it is definitely worth a stop for a morning cup of Joe, a pastry, bagel, sandwich, soup or salad. Clean location and friendly staff. The pastry case is very alluring and is like walking into the devils den if you are a "carbaholic" like me. Food preparation went fast for my to go order. I got the egg white spinach avocado breakfast sandwich. I asked the girl what would be the healthiest breakfast option they had and that is what she suggested. It was quite good. It was fresh spinach, egg white Patty, avocado and a slice of cheese on a whole-grain bagel top. I don't know how low-fat it was with the added cheese but it washealthier option and all the pastries. All in all a solid trip to this local chain.
Had a great dinner with friends. We enjoyed our fresh salads, bread bowl soups and sandwiches. Very helpful employees and fast service!

I am not a fan of chains but their soup and bagels are amazing. I am a sucker and I would recommend this Panera to all. The service is great and the food was out quick. Keep up the great work you all do.

I usually don't mind Panera for lunch or dinner. Today it started off with the girl taking my order talking to her friend about the sores on her feet. Nice, I am about to eat. My name is called as my order is ready. I go up with the pager (which did not go off) and lay it in the counter for the girl. She rudely tell me I need to take back to the check out. What? She says this walking away and does not say thanks. The food was ok, the chicken and rice soup was luke warm, and the dining area could be cleaner. Looks like a tornado went through it.

Ugh, what a headache! I gave this two stars, the second star for the idea that in theory they have some nice bread here. And if you're lucky, the bread won't be stale or burned. But here is my most recent miserable experience here: It was well before noon, and not busy. I asked for a chicken salad on a croissant, but they said they were out of croissants. Then I thought to ask, "The last time I had chicken salad here it was mushy with fruit and hard nuts. Do you have just regular chicken salad?" The answer was "No", so I asked, "okay, then, can I have a spinach and bacon soufflé?" The answer, "We're out of that." I then said, "How about the spinach and artichoke soufflé?" The reply, "No, we're out of that, too. But you can have the ham and cheese soufflé." Since I had to go, I said, "Okay." What came out was burnt and dry, with hardly a thimble full of ham and cheese in the center. I have never had such a sorry excuse for a soufflé in my life. I dropped it in the trash on my way out, and went on to get a real lunch at a real restaurant.

Standard Panera always come to this one when we are here. I get a kick out if all the Greek speaking clients. The only annoying thing???? Make more soufflés if you know you sell out of them this fast. And speaking of fast I know this isn't NYC but can you please hand met bagel faster? I'm hungry.
