Panera has really stepped up their game lately with the introduction of seasonal favorites, broth bowls and pasta dishes so I decided to go their for lunch today. I got the pick two: half roasted turkey sandwich (seasonal) and the half chicken thai salad, which is my favorite! I highly recommend the seasonal roasted turkey sandwich, which included roasted turkey, Vermont white cheddar, apple and cabbage slaw, arugula and a special sauce on cranberry walnut bread. WOW! The bread was the perfect addition and really made the sandwich. I didn't want it to end. Plus the you pick two came with a side- I opted for the baked chips.
This location is always busy, but they also have kiosks where you can place an order on your own. I've never seen this in a Panera before. I used the kiosk and was given a buzzer. The tables have this cool feature where you place the buzzer in a specific spot so the servers know where to find you. It was very convenient. Plus they work on the outdoor tables.
