This place really needs new management. The last few times I have been in here in the morning, the people who are behind the counter don't pay any attention to you. They seem more interested in restocking boxes than waiting on customers. There was only...one couple ahead of me and they ended up walking out without getting service. I stood there a few more minutes but I guess I wasn't important enough.More

We were excited to visit Panera because there are none where we live. There was a sign on the door asking customers to please be patient because they are understaffed. When we walked in, one employee looked at us but did not acknowledge us. It...was in the morning, we were the only customers there. We waited a couple of minutes and another guy came out. The guy who waited on us was completely rude. After we received our food, my husband returned to the counter to ask for some pepper, but no one came out. The food was great. Just like we remembered. However, we will not return to this store.More

I've been to Panera (in several states) many times. The one here is no different. There is no kitchen. There is a cold bar, a hot bar, some ovens (to bake premade bread that is shipped in), and a counter to put it all together....They say that Panera is "clean" food and perhaps it is. But it is not fresh, nor is anything but the final product put together on site. I could do as well at home with bought frozen food. Food is very pedestrian, and very bland.More

Fresh food and good service. A little pricey but you get quality food. Went there on a Friday and it's a perfect quiet place to catch up with friends.

First time visiting the Lancaster area and realized it was time for lunch. Drove up and down Hwy 33 to see what was available and then settled on Panera Bread. Had the Chicken Salad Sandwich and it was great. Also picked up a Bear Claw...to go and the taste was outstanding...fresh, filled with almond paste and full of flavor. They have done an outstanding job to maintain their commitment to quality. The staff was pleasant and very accommodating.More

I go here about 5 days a week since it is right next door to my store. Sometimes I eat there, other times I take out. The bakery items are always fresh baked and the usually have warm chocolate chip cookies available. They will usually...customize the smoothies if you ask, I've had banana added in several times and it makes any of the fruit smoothies more enjoyable. They have different soup specials depending on the day, my favorite from last season was the lemon chicken orzo, for the fall the turkey chili is a good choice. All the salads and sandwiches are made to order, most you can add items to if you request it. Be mindful of any allergies you may have, some of the dressings are fresh made which a highly used ingredient is raw eggs. Clay is one of the best employees there, he always makes me feel welcome and like a close friend compared to just a customer. Kaylee is super friendly as well and very energetic. I can honestly say I have issues with how the manager behaved towards customers, she does her job, but she always seems cold and and calculating. I've very rarely seen her smile or engage customers by name, which makes me feel unwelcome and slightly like a burden rather than the idea panera tries to send of a "local" bake shop.More

My wife and I ate there yesterday. My wife had a small salad and I had a regular. We drank water. Bill came to almost $16.00. The salads were good but $8.69 for a not real big salad was a bit much for self service....Service - non-existent! You order at the counter, pick up your own food, get your own drinks, and bus your own table. Not my type of restaurant.More

Service is fast, food is delicious, setting and seating are great for a casual eatery. We have been twice in the past month and both times, it was a relaxed visit. I went for the soba soup the second time, and it was delicious. We...were offered huge, tulip shaped, iced sugar cookies at .99 each. Granddaughters loved those!More

You pick two is wonderful, you get two smaller size great items. I typically get a small greek salad and cup of broccoli soup, which comes with a baguette.

I ate lunch today at Panera. I have eaten here several times in the past. They have great sandwiches made with quality ingredients and quality breads. Their soups and salads are also really good. My whole family loves their bagels, especially the Asiago Cheese and...the Cinnamon Crunch bagels. Panera also has good coffee and other drinks. The restaurant is clean and has free wi-fi. You can easily bring a large group of people here for breakfast or lunch.More
