Panera Bread

First time in this location, usually go to the Monticello location when in Williamsburg. Won't go to this one again, piddly portions. I always get a value duet, salad/soup. The salad at this location was 1/2 the size of every other location I dine at in the Tidewater area. Restaurant wasn't busy, arrived around 1 PM. Two of us got the same menu item, both salad bowls looked like somebody had eaten what they wanted and left the rest. Parking: parking lot full due to surrounding businesses

We visited the Panera Bread on Richmond Rd., Lexington We ordered the broccoli cheddar soup I ordered a southwest chicken melt. They said it came with Gouda cheese and they didn’t have any so I said I would have mine with pepper cheese. It came with no cheese my wife ordered chipotle, chicken avocado, which came with good Gouda which they didn’t have. she said she would have pepper cheese, it came with No cheese when we got to the table with our order, my soup was lukewarm at best my wife said hers was barely warm, so I took the soup back up to the counter to ask them to warm it up and took it to the back so I followed over to the window where they pick up the order I guess the manager was there she said I would like to have the soup warmed up the manager whoever said there’s a microwave hidden out there under the coffee you can go back there and tell him to heat it up there you can’t see the microwave it’s hidden under some cabinetry, so I’m going ahead and heated my soup up and our sandwiches were not what we ordered very poor Service. We like our Panera bread at home but we will never visit this one ever again.

It's Panera with brown lettuce but good broccoli cheddar soup. It's okay food for too much money. Parking: It's a small parking lot with many empty spaces designated for pickup orders.

Love "MY" Panera!! Best place in town to spend time with friends!! And the food...always fresh and yummy!!!

This is a newer location so I wanted to give it a try. Food was delicious and restaurant clean. We both choose the "You Pick Two" option as it's best deal. I had the Autumn Squash Soup with Cesar Salad on the side. My daughter had the Chicken Noodle Soup with Turkey Sandwich. Both lunches were served quickly and very tasty. Great place to go for a quick bite. Can be a little pricey so maybe skip the drink if that's a concern.

Made as good as homemade

Friendly staff.

Quite disappointing however the chicken rice soup was very good.
