Panera Bread - Metairie

I love the sourdough bread. I go to this location cause the other one I have had bad issues with employees. this location everyone pays attention, and I'm a regular. thank you for being here.

Food is great, atmosphere and service is wonderful! The price for what you get is not worth it. You can get soup, salad, sandwiches or desserts and it costs a minimum of $15+ dollars for a simple lunch. Good food, high prices.

Best Mac n cheese ever ! The bread is always fresh and delicious. Soft on the inside and crisp on the outside. Several different sandwich options to choose from and lots of pastries/muffins to choose from!

I have to remain gluten free and while I understand most Panera breads items could have cross contamination, usually their power bowls are fine for me. I tell the person taking my order that I am gluten free and usually the person preparing my food will change gloves and all is fine. Today, the girl taking my order seemed very confused about what GF was and when I asked not to have the bread served on the side, she continued to say she would have it put on the side. I continued to say, NO, not at all. Needless to say, the food ended up being delicious and I had a mild reaction to the food--so who knows. The environment is like any other Panera, mediocre.

They no longer sell butternut squash soup. It was my favorite. They were very busy for lunch, but got my food out quickly.
