Do I have bad taste in food or is Panera okay?

Anonymous
I just got a buffalo chicken sandwich from Panera for lunch. All I've ever heard is that Panera is over-priced hospital food but I am shocked at how good this is. Crispy chicken, crispy fried pickles and buffalo sauce on a fresh brioche bun. Is my palate that unsophisticated or is there anyone else out there who has tried Panera recently and agrees with me?

It's fine. People just like to insult everything.

I am a self proclaimed food snob and I do like Panera.

Panera is fine for a quick sandwich or salad. It's fast food.

Love the steak sandwich and green goddess salad.

DCUM doesn’t even like the top rated restaurants in the area.
Unless it’s caviar on the French Riviera beach it’s garbage, and half would even complain about that.

Greed goddess salad is awesome.

I think there's a lot of goodness in panera. Nothing is freshly made or anything, but there are some items that are decent. Wouldn't turn my nose up at it.

Panera tastes terrible to me. Everything is so salty!

I used to love Panera. Maybe 10 years ago? I hate what it’s become. It’s terrible. And I wanted to love it.

It's fine. I like the Fuji Apple salad thing.

Panera has been almost as successful as Chick-fil-A at convincing the public that their food is healthier than McDonald's, though. Props to them on that.

I've always liked their "you pick two" when you want a l'il salad and a l'il sandwich. More places should do half sizes.

Interesting. I’ve never tried Panera because they always seemed a bit meh to look at, like not fast food and not fast casual either. Seemed like it had to be bad and/or overpriced. Maybe I judged unfairly!
