Panera Bread - Des Plaines

Food is good, it was at the perfect temperature and was ready on time the only problem I have is they clearly didn?t read the order. I ordered the family feast with no onions because I?m allergic and my kids just don?t like them. As you can see all the sandwiches came with onions. Luckily I don?t trust restaurants so I always open and inspect before taking a bite.

Now almost all Panera locations are the same so nothing to really report on that. It did seem odd I was the only one inside eating and was sad to see a family of 6 leave because you know what mandate (not law). I get the BBQ chicken salad which is hard to mess up. They were almost out of the black bean salsa mix which was disappointing and the chicken was really cold so was not up to par as usual. Also for no one being there the tables were all dirty. It's hard to get customers in today I know that, but a little effort goes a long way and their location just didn't have it unfortunately.

I don't get the hype, every Panera experience I have had has been bad. Today we got breakfast sandwiches and they smelled rancid. The coconut donuts were even bad. Everything tasted like cardboard.

Fast and friendly service and staff. Great coffee and food selections. Clean restroom. Curb side and Drive thru service available. Sign up for the drink subscription!!!! Someone needs to pickup the trash in the parking areas.

I had the new spicy chicken sandwich and it was very good. It wasn't as spicy as I expected, but that's okay because the chicken wasn't dry and it was flavorful. Ordering using the kiosk was convenient. The only downside is that the prices are getting high.
