Panera Bread - Omaha

The broccoli cheddar soup is absolutely amazing. I often order the "You Pick Two" option, pairing it with either the Fuji apple chicken salad or the steak and white cheddar sandwich along with a soup. I can't recall ever having a bad meal from this place!

I understand that staffing can be challenging in some places, but there are certain aspects of service that should never be overlooked, regardless of staffing levels. Clean silverware is one of those essentials. Unfortunately, on this occasion, the silverware we received was dirty, which was really disappointing. The food was decent, but that experience really took away from it.

This is a lovely, new, modern restaurant situated near 144th and Maple Street, right in front of Fresh Thyme and next to Verizon Wireless. We enjoy visiting Panera for quick lunches or dinners. However, if you're dining in for dinner, be aware that some items in the pastry section may not be available. During our first visit, we used the kiosk to place our order, but it didn’t print a receipt. Fortunately, the manager was very helpful in resolving the issue. I highly recommend checking out this place. Overall, the food is consistently delicious!
