Panera is overpriced and the food's not that great and they don't give you much, IMO.

Not nearly as good as Olive Garden. :-)

1. I love Panera

It's plenty of food and it tastes good, IMO.

2. The bread is dry, it is way too expensive, and they skimp on contents.

I've been to five or six of them, only because someone else made the decision. I won't go there on my own.

4. Reminds me of the Woody Allen quote-

There's an old joke... two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such small portions." Well, that's essentially how I feel about life — full of loneliness, and misery, and suffering, and unhappiness — and it's all over much too quickly.

5. I disagree! We love to eat there!

They even have some items with organic chicken. Their bread is yummy!

6. we love Panera

Lots of choices and options, good food and plenty of it.

I'll tell you what stinks: Applebee's. Ugh! Ugh!

7. The Panera near me is great!

I really think chains are only as good as the people who run them. I've seen very popular restaurants open and close within 6 months because it was run by idiots. The Panera here has outlasted a Starbucks.

8. Any Jason's Deli's nearby?

Now that's a place we go back to often, and I mean OFTEN.

Panera - Sorry, not my cup of tea.

Paranoia, of course it's true there. Here in Colorado, Panera's great.

10. I disagree with the OP\

Panera is great. They don't have the variety of the Olive Garden, but they are generally cheaper and quicker service.
