Panera Bread - Carbondale

I go here at least twice a week. They are always friendly, fast, and the food is delicious. They do occasionally run out of things, which is why they didn't get 5/5. But other than that keep up the good work!

It's been a while since I visited this location but shrink flation hit them hard while I was away. Their Signature Chicken Sandwich (SCS) with bagged chips and Half Asian Crunch Chicken Salad (HACCS, both pictured) ran over 23$ with two waters as ourdrinks, excluding tip. I enjoyed the asiago cheese crisps as part of the SCS but the sauce overpowered these little ones andappeared to outweigh the greens. I recommend asking for your dressing on the side since the heavy handed prep team continued thegenerosity in my HACCS dressing far exceeded the four chicken slivers (see if you can spot them in the pic). Their atmosphereremains upscale casual including real, environmentally friendly utensils and a fireplace (timing is critical for the ambianceexperience). The crew is customer focused and supportive on the front end. The overall experience hit my wallet harder than Ithought it would but it is a great place to catch up with family, friends, or business associates. Give yourself crew ampletime to enjoy the investment.

Panera in Carbondale is my favorite place to visit. The staff is always in high demand and they do an amazing job. I often walk there for my lunch break, passing by other closer options, but I can’t resist stopping by just to say hello to them.

I had the worst experience at this restaurant. For the second time, they failed to deliver my lunch, and now I'm left without food for the day, which is concerning as a diabetic. I called to address the issue, and the manager, Matk, mentioned it wasn't their fault if Grubhub didn't pick up the order. However, I want to clarify that I ordered directly from the Panera website, not through Grubhub. Despite this, they still said it wasn't their problem. Well, it is their problem now.

We ordered one flatbread, one sandwich, and two danishes. The danishes were delicious, but the flatbread was served ice cold. The steak and cheese sandwich was bland and unexciting—not worth the $15 price tag. We were tempted by the $1 delivery fee, but after all the additional charges, our total came to $50 for one flatbread, one sandwich, and two danishes.
