The store is good but they might need to clean better, there's some spots that doesn't smell too good so we had to change sits twice. I still like it but get better at cleaning. Love you guys.. .. I will change my reviews next Thursday when I come back...

I love the Whitehall Panera location best! Everybody here is always kind and helpful and nobody is ever grumpy when you come in to order. The establishment is usually very clean and now that it is beautiful and warm outside the tables are out to enjoy your meal and/or drinks with friends. I am a member of the subscription coffee club and could not be happier. Thanks Panera!

My son and i each had 1/2 salad and cup of soup. The soup we had was rustic potatoe-good flavor, could have been a little thicker for my taste. I had the southwest salad and it was 100% perfect. Crisp lettuce and delicious. My son had chicken Cesar salad and ate every bite.

Ordered online and picked it up in 12 minutes. The teriyaki chicken bowl was delicious, and the Flatbread pizza and grilled cheese was good, too.

It’s been a while since I’ve been in here. There are kiosks to place your order, if you want to skip the line. They were pretty easy to use but there were no pagers left at the kiosks so I wasn’t totally sure how to use it until another customer showed me and grabbed some pagers by the register. Other than that, 5 stars! Food was delicious like usual!

The facility looks very clean and new. It is airy with many windows and natural light. Orders can be placed by kiosk or at the counter. Displays are appealing but the area behind was cluttered and messy. Our cashier was distracted and had a hard time translating requests into orders. We got the correct food and it was delicious. But it was a confusing process.
