"This review reflects my experiences at multiple Panera locations over the past year, not just this one. While the food is decent and the service is generally good, I've encountered a significant issue: by 4 PM, they often run out of nearly every type of bread. Each time we've gone for dinner, they've been out of most of their specialty breads. Just last night, my wife wanted soup in a bread bowl, but they were completely out. I tried to order a Bacon Turkey Bravo, but there was no tomato bread available. I even asked for a Toasted Steak Cheddar, only to find they were out of ciabatta as well.
In short, it might be best to avoid Panera for dinner, as you'll likely find them lacking many menu items. It seems that either they can't afford the staff to bake enough bread throughout the day or they're cutting costs by not making enough to meet demand. Either way, if they can't provide a full menu in the evening, what's the point of staying open? Panera's corporate team really needs to prioritize quality over profits before they drive this business into the ground."
