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!

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.

I just saw a video and they eliminating a massive amount of products soon.

French onion soup
All the flatbread pizzas
4 sandwiches
Sourdough bread & a few other breads
Blueberry, chocolate chip, & sesame bagels
A bunch of drinks and desserts

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.

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

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

Panera tastes terrible to me. Everything is so salty!

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.

Greed goddess salad is awesome.

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.

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

Love the steak sandwich and green goddess salad.

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

DCUM be hatin’

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

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?
