Reviews for Panera Bread in Brandon, FL
Visited on Saturday afternoon. Bought 3 pastries, 2 drinks for over $20 + tip. This was the last time I tip at Panera and... definitely last time visiting this location. We filled our own drinks, had to microwave our own pastry to warm it up, there weremany tables available but all filthy with food scraps all over the floor. I had to look for napkins all over the restaurant(they were not restocked) to clean up our own table and seats so we could sit down. In 30 minutes no employee showed up to wipeand clean other filthy tables but I saw other guests having to wipe their own tables to be able to sit. It wasn't even busy,more than 3/4 of the restaurant was empty. Bathroom was a complete disaster - empty paper towel dispenser was barely hanging onone screw and the floor was covered with trash. Vents on the ceiling covered with thick and fluffy layer of black dust. What doI tip for if I have to do all the labor? Read more
Bread was extremely dry, had to drink with every bite. Whereas Paneras bread is usually pretty fresh. If I didn?t know better I... would say it was day old bread. Girlfriend got a salad and it appeared to be diseased. Would recommend driving 15 minutes out ofthe way to go to the Panera Valrico. Only giving 2 stars because staff was very nice and efficient. *Also there was black moldall over the Celling and air vents* Read more
The cashier was great and the service was very great. Had the COVID and need some soup. I ordered online and it was quick and... fast. Because I was just not feeling it. Read more
Great food, great coffee, great staff. 8/20 One downer: the guy in the corner with empty cups of noodles all around him, more... on the floor, and a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts. 8/21 Same crew: crashed in the back corner of the restaurant. Read more
Service was hum drum. The guy was like a robot. Efficient but no emotion. The food was meh. Thai soup was tasty but the... chicken take could have been taken back. It tasted old. The papaya green tea was the best part. Read more
Husband & I had stopped in to eat dinner there, We had ordered the bread ???? bowls & soup ???? cuz they are our favorite... Usually its great! but, our soup was jus sorta on the cool side, wasn't really warm at all & I had broccoli and cheese & husbandhad French onion! And then we both order a steak sandwich with sm sort of horseradish sauce on it But, hardly had even a fullslice of I wanna say, You know in the grocery store "steakums"...Yeh! Pretty bad actually So, I don't think that we will everorder that sandwich again. But, was much later then we usually eat our dinner & Really bummed us out tho! There was jus a younglady mking our food & the rest of the team that worked there was cleaning up liked breaking everything dw But, we were sohungry that we jus kept eating, so we could go hm.

I really enjoy the food, though it is pretty expensive. On occasion when i order a whole sandwich I'll get 3/4 of one. And... today when i ordered the green goddess cob salad i got 1/4 and avocado when the usually give you half of one Read more
I was very disappointed in the food at this place. I?m lactose intolerant and gluten intolerant. There weren?t many options, so... I got the chicken noodle soup. It only had 4 noodles in it and not a single bite of chicken. It was all broth. For $6, Iexpected a little more substance to it. Read more
