  I got the Fuji apple chicken salad, chips, French onion soup, and steak and arugula sandwich. Decent food served very quickly. This is your standard Panera Bread.
  
  The place was clean and the staff were friendly. The place has a lot of seating.

  I don't even think a full fledged review is necessary.
  
  We ordered soup with bread bowls, with chips because they "didn't have any bread"
  
  Should have taken that as a hint to just leave.
  (This was two and a half hours before closing)
  
  The person taking our order was completely inaudible to the point where we just started shaking our heads yes.
  
  We got our food partially cold and in regular bowls.
  To which they then told us after we paid and tipped them, they are also out of bread bowls.
  
  Really disappointed and really dissatisfied.
  
  Very unfortunate because the few times we did eat here it was pretty good.

  Problem with quality control. Chicken and wild rice soup was watery and this isn't the first time

  Poor Panera...when they get the order right, it tastes good...but it usually takes me two tries to get the food I really want.  Portions are wildly different each time...guess it depends on who you get serving you.  Panera is pricy for the service, food, and atmosphere...it costs just as much to have a waiter/waitress serve you somewhere else.  Category is: meh.

  This place is going downhill very quickly. It seems like they've lost a lot of good management. Everyone behind the counter was running around like chickens with their heads cut off. The manager was dismissive when part of my order was forgotten. The cashier was clearly new and no one would help her out. The signs hadn't been flipped over and I was trying to order lunch because they were serving it and I couldn't remember the name of the item I was ordered so the cashier had to read off of her ordering screen. She asked me the same questions multiple times. I'm afraid this location is going to be another dumpy, dirty Carbondale restaurant if upper management doesn't step in.
