Panera Bread - North Charleston

I placed my order on 5:59 with an estimated pick-up time of 6:09. I was there at 6:11, but my food was not given to me until near 6:30. Just so that my order was ready behind the? Fast pickup counter? where it was until I had to ask. I understand that every short staff is, but if the opponent/Cashier has no guests and repeatedly makes eye contact with someone who obviously needs an order for 20 minutes, they should take initiative and see if they can help. Unfortunately, I had a sleeping (sick) child in my vehicle for the duration that just wanted a hot soup so that I could check my order right then and there. Luckily, she was the only one to get good food. Sandwiches ( roasted beef/grilled cheese) were cold and very soggy, salad was also warm before soup. Loading harmful prices should guarantee at least a certain degree of expectation in food quality/performance.

Panera Bread...it's in the name...bread. Once a place teaming with pastries galore, well, you see what was available on my last visit. And by last visit, I mean my absolute last visit. So I decided to order food...a simple soup bread bowl and chicken salad. What I received was the smallest bread possible to be used as a bowl and soup, which was decent, that didn't even fill half of it. As for the chicken salad, once I opened the container I was excited to see it full, until I pulled off all of the garnish and was left with only a few table spoons of chicken salad. What was the response of the staff...portion control...it's all about portion control. And when my daughter received an outdated yogurt, we returned it just to have the staff go back to the fridge to retrieve a fresh newly expired one and gave it to my daughter. Definitely not worth the price I paid and most assuredly not worth my time. My experience is just for the International Blvd location in North Charleston...I can't speak on any other location...yet.

The food was great. I could tell that they had a short of staff but the young lady Ty'Lim was so sweet.

Employees here are doing a good job and the space is accommodating. On the other hand, it?s truly ?slim pickings? for vegan dining: it?s such a pity because compassionate cuisine need not be expensive, nor intricate?.

Decided to try their curbside pick up, and I was definitely disappointed. The cheese pizza was sold out, so we got the 4 cheese pizza with garlic cream sauce. I also got their pepperoni pizza and the cheese just looked really weird, and it wasn?t cut. Both were disgusting, but I wanted to give it a try. I ordered my usual vanilla cinnamon roll, and it was burnt. I ordered an almost $3 large drink and didn?t notice how much ice was in it until I got home : next time I will definitely have to ask for no ice. It?s summer time, and we need to hydrate : employee was nice that brought my items to the car
