This Panera did a full renovation and it's much better now! Booths, chairs and tables updated, fireplace got a paint job. Very nice!
This location is clean and appeared to be well run on the day of our visit. I spent quite a lot of time there on one day as I prepared for an exam. I always appreciate how the staff at Panera do not bother you if you spend several hours there or even close out the restaurant. Panera's menu has changed so often, and I find myself searching for my favorite food items that are no longer there (bring back the horseradish sauce, justice for the French onion soup, etc.). I have been to my share of Panera locations, and I believe this one is my favorite. It's warm inside and even has a fireplace near the entrance. The staff are all pleasant and extremely helpful. The dining area was very clean and appeared to be well-managed. Since I was there for several hours, I noticed how the staff kept up with the cleaning. I also noticed how polished and clean the silverware was compared to the Raritan location, for example. I have routinely opted out of using the silverware and instead will grab the plasticware due to my lack of confidence at the other locations, but again, this location provided clean utensils. It's always a gamble when eating out, particularly in a fast-casual chain environment. I ordered the creamy tomato soup, smokehouse bbq sandwich with customizations, and a bottled orange juice. Everything tasted as expected, good -no complaints. And again, I really appreciate Basking Ridge for not skimping out on the heat to ensure their customers feel warm and comfortable while dining in. It makes me upset to know that I could've been going to this location all along. Lastly, Panera, it is always frustrating to see your favorite food items removed from the menu or remixed without notice. This location has nothing to do with the decisions made by Panera's culinary innovation team but thought it was worth noting. I would definitely recommend trying out this location if you haven't done so already. Will take pictures next visit.
I have no complaints. Used the kiosk to order. Huge dining room. Nice staff. Wild rice soup loaded with chicken and veggies. The new toasted Italiano is awesome. A little skimpy on meat but amazing bread and veggies. I am a huge fan.
Huge space with lots of outdoor seating. Nothing out of the ordinary. Solid baked goods as usual. Got the Everything cookie and an asiago cheese bagel. Can't go wrong. Service coulda been faster esp since it was a weekday lunch hour.
The restaurant is located in a strip mall right off Rt78. The outside seating area is nice. The inside is very big. The staff is very nice. There must be something going on with the self ordering kiosk, but the staff came out quickly to help me and the lady next to me. Food is tasty as usual. The lemonade is really good. Price has definitely increased quite a bit, but I understand that. Definitely recommend this location.
