Review from Lauren M.

Went here for lunch recently, and was reminded of how much I enjoy the place! The first time I went to a Panera was last year, on a date. The atmosphere was laid back, and there were so many people surrounding me that some of the tension of a first date was relieved -- not too intimate or romantic like some restaurants.
This time lunch was during the work day, and at this location (Steele Creek) you will find many business professionals also on their lunch break. I suggest going before noon if you want to avoid the wait. The line can be kind of long and aggravating if you are hungry, but regardless, the staff moves quickly and you won't have to stand in line for longer than 15 minutes.
I ordered the You Pick Two deal, where you can select a soup and salad, or soup and side. I chose the broccoli and cheddar soup, and a Caesar salad. WOW. That soup was so creamy and delicious that I have been thinking about it again days later. I could kind of go for it right now just talking about it. The Caesar dressing is to die for, and the leaves were fresh and tasty.
The staff were friendly and efficient, and the facility is very clean and comfortable.
I may have to go there today now. =) -

I really like Panera Bread. I like their coffee, I like their pastries, I like their sandwiches, I like the atmosphere and the staff is always professional, lively and courteous. It does however epitomize homogenization of chains which, in my opinion, always lowers the value of most dining/drinking/unique experiences.
I like it better than it's predecessor, The Atlanta Bread Company which all but disappeared in Charlotte. -

Love this place - for breakfast, lunch or casual dinner.
I almost always get the You-Pick-Two option. I can never decide on just one thing! Among my favorites: the Napa Chicken Salad sandwich, the Fuji Apple Chicken salad (yummy dried apples & gorgonzola!!), the Chicken & Wild Rice soup (creamy & wonderful. If you hit them on a day when they're serving it, absolutely, get it!) This past Friday night I tried their new fall sandwich - the Roasted Turkey Artichoke Panini. Holy smokes! Unbelievable. It tasted like fall - juicy turkey, the artichoke spread was cheesy and warm and the bread was toasted perfectly. A must-try.
Reasonably priced, the restaurant is always clean and bright, staff is friendly, good selection, service is quick. -

Another favorite lunch spot for me, just don't go between 12 and 1 because it's usually so busy that there isn't even a seat on the floor.
What's not to like about Panera? Good paninis, good sandwiches and great salads. Oh and don't forget the baked goods. My favorites thing to order lately is the Chicken cobb salad. mmmmm. Oh and those darn cinnamon rolls.
This place could be very dangerous if you stick around too long. And they encourage you to do so with comfortable seating and free Wi-fi. -

Just putting a disclaimer out there that I don't work for Panera since this is the third Panera I've reviewed in the past two wks. What can I say, when I like something, I really like something. I headed over to this Panera today for a change of scenery and had a nice experience. They have more seating that one would expect when looking at this place plus a lot of natural light coming in. I ordered and within one minute my order was ready and their broccoli and cheddar soup was fantastic as always.
If you have a My Panera rewards card (which you should totally get if you dont have it already since it's free), they scan it when you pay and if you have any rewards waiting for you, they will let you know and you can redeem it then or later. Who knew I had a free drink coming to me today?? My only complaint with my experience today-- The seating gods weren't too nice to me. I had a couple next to me with one lady who was talking loudly on her cell the entire meal-hello, rude, it's nice to meet you and the other ladies next to me were talking about their friend who supposedly has ugly children. Ok, I laughed, I admit it. You can hear everything in this place!! -

This was our Panera when I lived in Lake Wylie...like most Paneras, this one has the assortment that you would expect...and it is served well.

How can they pack so many calories into such tiny sandwiches?
God, I love bread. -

Talk about delicious bagels, I went in to grab a quick bagel with my buddy and walked out with a bakers dozen! I did have lunch 2-3 times on different occasions, and their broccoli/cheddar soup rocked, it was very broccoli-ey and cheese-y. The sandwiches can pass for borderline gourmet (pesto, good selection of cheeses and fresh baked artisan breads)
But lets talk about the cinnamon crunch bagel that Im obsessed with. I got it lightly toasted and cream cheese on the side. It was fresh, hot and so good! I couldnt bear to adulterate the flavor with the cr. cheese, so I just got some butter and enjoyed it with hot tea with honey. You would love it too :) And yes, it has free wi-fi so dont forget to get your laptop or your choice entertainment. -

A great place to go to get out of the house, Panera offers free wi-fi and free refills on drinks and coffee!
Sandwiches, soups and salads are their specialties, as well as a large offering of baked goods. Cookies, bagels, muffins and whole loaves of bread are all made fresh in the store every day.
The "pick two" deal is two of either a half sandwich a bowl of soup or a salad, and they have an excellent selection of all. I went with the tomato and mozzarella sandwich which was fresh mozzarella and roasted and fresh tomatoes and basil on a ciabatta loaf, and the broccoli cheddar soup, which was very cheesy with big pieces of broccoli. Absolutely delicious.
The soups rotate on a daily basis, so it's never the same thing.
At lunch time, it gets a little busy and I've seen the place with every table filled. They also have a few outside tables that are in range of the wi-fi. -

This Panera (Gosh, they popped up everywhere) is standard Panera I'd say. Smaller patio on the sidewalk and not the most inviting of patios in the small strip of a larger shopping area with Lowe's and Walmart . I usually find someone will come and smoke near you if you sit outside here for a little while (Must resist the urge to slap the person).
Usually clean but have found the Internets here a little slower than other Panera's.
Bagel's are pretty good but get chewier as the day progresses and i don't usually make it to a Panera until the evening. Find the food to be a little pricer for the same fare as Jason's Deli or McCalister's but always pretty fresh and good.
Love the Chicken Noodle Soup though, my favorite!! -
Review from Todd W.
So everyone knows what Panera has to offer I'm assuming, as it's a chain. Had a business meeting here the other day and was impressed by the amount of seating area. Easy to find a quiet place for conversation during the mid-late afternoon hours. Service was friendly as always. My only complaint is that the coffee hadn't been changed in a while so I ended up having 3 different coffee selections in one cup because they kept running out. It was called the "surprise java mix":.

It's Panera. The food is good, as is typical; however, this location gets super busy around lunch time. Service is quick, so it's fine if you're taking your lunch to go, but you might have to fight the smartphone-wielding and laptop-bag-slinging crowds for a seat if you want to dine in.

This is the second time i went to this location, first time was okay didnt give me my drink and had to ask for it. They did this the second time. I went there for dinner both occasions and didnt feel very welcomed by the service. The guy made me my drink and left it on a ledge and ran off. I wish i couldve said thanks but i didnt feel very grateful towards anyone of them. thanks for forgetting to give me my drink!
