I go here for lunch occasionally and this is one of those places that you have to get to before the rest of the lunch rush because there is not enough seating, or if there is, there is one person sitting at a four top when people are wandering around carrying trays.
Panera just added a touch-screen order yourself station which was pretty cool. You pick your food, pick up a buzzer, type the number of the buzzer into the computer and go find a table. Place the buzzer onto the table and it magically transmits the location to the Panera people and they bring out your food. Pretty neat technology. I'm a fan.
I always get the mac and cheese, and then remember after I order it that its just okay. I do love that their pick 2 comes with a side of bread though. I love bread.
