| - Panera Bread is a great place to grab a quick lunch when you want to sit down somewhere but don't want to spend too much time at one place. I was out on my lunch break and needed to get away from the office, but knew that I had to stick to my strict 1 hour break so I decided to grab one of their Pick 2 combos.
I ended up choosing a simple Greek Salad and their Chicken Walnut sandwich (which is my all time favorite at Paradise Bakery). It's a bit disappointing that their cookies don't come with a sandwich (like Paradise does) but they do offer another side like a french baguette, potato chips, etc. The only special they have on their cookies is that it's $0.99 with the purchase of a drink. So of course I purchased a drink!
Once you order, they give you a small pager to place on your table so they can bring the food out to you. I though that it was a buzzer type pager, but it never moved or made any noise by the time my food was brought out to me. I wonder if there is some sort of locator attached to it that the employees can view in the back before bringing the food out. If not it seems like a waste of money to have such a device when a simple place card would suffice. But I can't complain, my food was brought out to me in a timely manner and it didn't seem like employees were walking around in circles looking for the matching order number.
The reason why I only gave it 4 stars is the cleanliness of the restaurant. There was a lot of tables that had dirty dishes on them from previous customers and no one to clean up. I saw a lot of customers walking around trying to find an empty clean table, which is unfortunate. Since I was dining alone I decided to just grab one of the dirty tables which seemed the cleanest. There was only one set of dishes on the table so I assumed the previous customer was also a lone diner. I moved all the dishes to the edge of the table and proceeded to wipe off the table myself. However, when my food was brought out, the employee didn't offer to grab the dirty dishes off the table. I could understand if his hands were full to serve another table after me, but his hands were empty and fully capable of clearing off my table. It wasn't until about 10 minutes later when another employee walked by that my table was finally cleared off.
It was later in the afternoon that this all happened so I can assume they just finished off a large lunch rush so it didn't bother me terribly. It was just unfortunate to see other customers standing around and looking for an empty table where there could have been ample seating had they been cleaned off in time.
Other than that, the place is nice and the food is great!
