Panera Bread

Thank you Panera staff and Aimee (Panera manager on duty) for a wonderful event! We were able to book the private conference room and held a small wedding shower for 6 ladies. Candice (Panera caterer) made sure we had food and beverages prepared ahead of time. It was a lovely afternoon at a perfect venue. Great job Panera Crystal Lake, IL!

I remember when Panera used to be one of my favorite places to eat about 7 years ago. The quality, staff and serving sizes have tanked across the board while their prices are now through the roof. This location is the worst of the worst. The whole store needs a complete overhaul from customer service to food presentation to cleanliness. Carpets and bathrooms need a significant refresh/remodel. I was served with a 'clean' fork with a crusty straw wrapper or napkin stuck on it. Meal for 3 people, which included one being a kids meal, was almost $40 and we didn't even get dessert. Absolutely ludicrous for what's now a step above fast food. I regretted the decision to eat here.

I always like Panera Bread!! The food is great and well priced. Panera has a macaroni and cheese to die for!!! I like the pick 2 option so that I can get a half serving of mac and cheese and a half sandwich. Very delicious!!! The order comes up very quickly.
