"Love the Surf and Turf Taco I think I'll get it again next time and every time we come going forward. The kids also loved their tacos. The street tacos are pretty small, the regular tacos are larger, more packed with bigger corn tortillas, probably 3-4 for a big, American-sized includes-lunch-tomorrow entree. I'm full after one and a half. The Quesabirria Taco is greasy in a good way, crispy and moist that had me reaching for it first. the Al Pastor Taco was dryer more like a typical street taco. the CHICKEN STREET TACO was small but also very nice and moist, well seasoned, and very tasty. Have ordered before, will order again."
"The Birria Pizza was delicious. Perfect amount of food for 4 people at a pretty good price. I highly recommend. Ordered the Churros... disappointed there. Got one single small churro. Not worth that price. I'll order from this place again."

"I love having farm to table options on door dash; I wouldn't have learned about this awesome place without it! A healthy, tasty dinner option of the Quinoa Bowl was such a surprise and it was packed full of flavor. I did add avocado for additional healthy protein and it was perfect. next time I want to try adding the kombucha pork!"
"I ordered their Farm Burger and their chocolate Chocolate Milk steamed. The Farm Burger was the best hamburger I think I have ever eaten. I was in heaven while I was eating that burger. The Chocolate Milk was lovely too, and even though some of the chocolate had settled to the bottom, it was still quite delicious. Next time I'll know to stir it before drinking it. I think that it settled because I had it delivered to my house. I will definitely be ordering food from Redmond Farm kitchen again!"

"The Asiago Sausage & Egg Sandwich and NEW Ciabatta Ham, Egg & Cheese Sandwich arrived so fresh and warm and is delicious!! The Iced Chai Tea Latte was so good as well, my only wish is that you could add vanilla flavor to it but overall I highly recommend Panera!!"
"I kept trying to give Panera the benefit of the doubt because I thought maybe it was just an off day, but this visit was honestly disappointing. We ordered two soup and sandwich combos and the quality just kept getting worse with each item. My husband’s sandwich was basically two hard pieces of bread with what looked like a very thin layer of mashed meat inside—you couldn’t even see the meat unless you opened it up. His side baguette was rock hard. The soup actually tasted good, but the portion was shockingly small for the price. I got the half grilled cheese and it tasted like it was made with processed sliced cheese instead of actual grilled cheese quality ingredients. What disappointed me most was the cookies. I was excited because in the past Panera cookies have always been soft and one of my favorite things there. This time every single cookie in the bag was hard and dry like a cracker. Overall, the food quality felt really off compared to previous visits, especially for the cost. I left wishing I had asked for a refund."

"The food was good, portions were good, and price was food. I can't help but order Cheese Styx whenever available, and they were delicious! (great marinara too!) I am in the stage of life with my toddler that Golden Nuggets and fries are all he will eat, and he was happy with these.(I tried the nugs and they were good, slightly reminded me of McDonald's nugs) The #7 Biscuits and Gravy were good, but lacking a little with seasoning. Overall everything was good!"

"This Tropical bowl is awesome! I had the large. The flavors of each fruit is distinct yet not overwhelming. They managed to make the Pitaya (dragon fruit) taste really good. This is the first time I had a good tasting dragon fruit in 40 years. I grew up in an island in the Caribbean, and Everbowl (love the name) did a bang up job of combining a bunch of fruits and making them taste great. Unfortunately, it appears that I'm now allergic to granola. I ordered the second bowl without granola and I am a happy clam. They need something bigger than large. How about calling it "Give it to me, baby?!?" Now that I'm here, I'm going to order a couple of large tropical bowls and I'm not sharing!"
"OMG! Just earn themselves a regular. The PB Cacao Dream smoothie is DELICIOUS! I added whey and soy protein and I love that it's still AMAZING! The Butterfly Coconut is absolutely perfect. It starts out just looking delicious and every bite has amazing flavor combinations. "

"I'm not a breakfast person but wow this Quiche of the Week 3PD!!! I could eat this for breakfast everyday! The cheese in there is SO good. I also got a 3PD Cafe Latte with oat milk and vanilla and it was sooo good. Probably the best tasting place in all of Utah county tbh. "
"I want to like this place. I have tried it 3 separate times and each time I am disappointed. The prices are way too high for what you get. Nothing comes with the sides that are pictured. The Bistro Breakfast Burrito 3PD and the potatoes and avocado we both hard. I couldn't eat half. The G’s Grilled Breakfast Sandwich 3PD was mostly good but was so small for what you pay. We got one small 4oz cup of grapes on the side. I ordered the Ras Pistachio Latte 3PD*pberry and apparently they were out and gave me a regular latte with only $1 refund. The pastries are the one good consistent thing we have found."

"The Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen and Hakata Roll were both great. If you're weird about textures, maybe don't get the Takoyaki (4pcs), as the soft, gooey inside really contrasts the flaky, fried exterior. That being said, the flavor is fantastic, and I will definitely be ordering them again."

"We tried the Shooter Special. It's like... little shots of umami soup with raw fish? And little raw quail eggs? It was good! But very different from anything I've eaten before. The Toro (Tuna Belly) N is the only time I've seen chyuu-toro on a sushi menu here in Utah County. It is more expensive and more fatty and it is squishy and delicious like a dream."
"The food quality was poor. Most rolls were California roll with something on top. The fish seemed a bit old and the avocado was browning. Have tried it a couple times now and am not sure it's worth it."

"They package the broth separately from the rest of the ramen, which was awesome for delivery. For some reason it was not obvious to me they would do that. And of course it all tastes great! Chicken karage is underrated."
"I wanted to love this ramen, but compared to others in the area, this place was just meh. The broth was basic. I'm a big fan of seasoned eggs, but mine seriously looked unappetizing, and it was only one half of an egg! If I'm paying $10+ for ramen, I want the whole egg. I will say the ingredients seemed fresh, but with that alone, I don't think I'll order from this place again."

"Better than CupBop! The bulgogi beef was weirdly bland. Thankfully, they included plenty of chili sauce. I thought the lemon on the Springville roll was a bit bitter, so I took it off.
