Panera Bread - Syracuse

I decided to give this location a try because all the others nearby have been disappointing. Unfortunately, this one didn't break the trend. I ordered a half grilled cheese sandwich and a bowl of chicken noodle soup. The soup was just average since they don’t prepare it in-house and simply heat it up. But honestly, how can you mess up a grilled cheese? It's just cheese between two slices of bread that's supposed to be toasted! Somehow, they managed to do just that. This is another Panera location that I'll be adding to my "avoid" list.

I ordered a sandwich, expecting more than just bread. For $12, I anticipated more than a single slice of beef. To make matters worse, the Chai I ordered tasted like warm milk. Thanks for nothing, Panera!

I stopped in during my break for my favorite green goddess salad, but unfortunately they were out of avocado and red onions, which was disappointing. I had a lengthy wait of 20 minutes after already waiting 10 minutes at the kiosk. When I finally sat down to eat, I noticed that the tables were really dirty. I understand they’re busy, but they should have staff stay an hour after closing to clean up the place!

The young woman at the register was extremely patient and helpful as our group of 5 decided on what to order. We made a few changes along the way and she was very gracious. She even allowed us to taste the different dressings for the salads to make abetter informed choice. When we were finished we didn't realize we'd stayed past their closing time ???? They let us talk andfinish our conversation without being pushy or rude. Super kind all the way around. Definitely recommend this place based onthe customer service we received ????????

It was a great going to Panera Bread. I had their strawberry salad and it was excellent. So was the mango smoothie with Greek yogurt. Yummy. Next time I'll take a photo and hopefully I can add it back to this review. It's definitely worth it
