I very much enjoy Panera. I can't go there without getting the broccoli cheddar soup with the French baguette. I would give Panera 4 or 5 stars, but I can't do that because I have different feelings for when I dine in or when I carry out.
When I dine in, it's great. The portions are very reasonable and it is always very fresh. The salads are huge (even the half salads). I wish I felt the same about carry out.
When you compare what you get when you dine in verses what you carry out, it seems like you get 1/3 less than what you would get when you eat in at the same price. The salad is much smaller and the soup is in a far smaller container. I would give Panera a higher rating if they would fix this.
