Reviews for Panera Bread in Knoxville, TN
Line of 20+ people and one of four kiosks not working at all. Had to ask a staff member because the auto system would not let... us buy items clearly available in the case. Management needs to reconsider their decisions here, this is not working. Read more
There was MAYBE a tablespoon of Turkey on this sandwich that was ordered to go. I guess if you really want some actual meat on a... sandwich you need to visit a different restaurant. Read more
The food we ordered was fresh and delicious! They don't have a good variety or quantity in breads and bagels. For example the... cashier, who was very friendly and helpful, said they only bake 1 round of Asiago Focaccia Bread a day. But when it's there it'sdelicious! Read more
Ordered DD this morning as I do most mornings. I order food for the day as I don?t have time throughout the day. Received the... mediterranean bowl with NO rice or quinoa. The top had BBQ sauce on it NOT BBQ ranch!!! It was orange!! So I called and the ladysaid they never had a mediterranean salad sold that morning!?!? Lie!! I called back and talked to Robert who informed me thatthey were out of rice and someone had made a mistake on the sauce. ??????????? Now I?m out of lunch!! Read more
This was the worst experience I have ever had at Panera Bread, and it will be the last time I ever buy anything from this... location. I got the Toasted Steak and White Cheddar Sandwich, Mexican Corn Chowder, and a Strawberry Banana Smoothie. My steaksandwich was supposed to have cheese and onions, which was listed in the description. When I received it, it had 2 small piecesof onion, no cheese, and was drowning in horseradish.The corn chowder tasted very watered down compared to the regular cornchowder I have had in the past. The smoothie was in a 16oz cup, which wasn?t filled to the top. Also, I had free chips with myorder, but they were not the Panera brand, baked chips. The chips were very oily. I paid over $20 for this meal, when it wasn?tworth $5. I highly recommend going somewhere else to eat. Read more
Not as good as most Panera Breads locations. This is my second attempt for this location and for the second time I?m... disappointed. My avocado was just one big chunk so when I took my first bite of the first half it shot out of the sandwich ontothe ground. I checked the second half and it was the same so I cut it up and spread it out. This visit they were out of all thespreads/sauces but didn?t tell me until I went up to ask for my missing signature sauce. I couldn?t get anyone in the food prepareas attention to ask so I had to return to the register. The ladies at the front were at least friendly. One of the guyscleaning and stocking also hovered over me while I used the microwave for 30 seconds and finally said ?I need to get in there?pointing at a cupboard, but no excuse me or pardon me. Just seemed rude. Read more
Friendly staff could be a bit more knowledgeable. Food was hot and fresh. The bread was baked well. Seemed a popular hangout for... those conducting business meetings and college students plugging electronics in and taking up extra tablea so finding seatingcan be a bit of a daunting task. I'm not a fan of kiosk ordering but they do have them as an option. Also available is carryout or delivery via different service companies. Read more
Kiosk is know the only order method, many items showed out of stock but we're actually available.... technology is good if it... works. There are better options for dinner at 19.00 per person. Read more
