But the bowl of soup I ordered looked and measured a lot more like a cup. Yet I paid for a bowl which should be larger than a cup I would think. Hmm?! "

"Everything was fresh and delicious (Broccoli Cheddar Soup, Cranberry Walnut Chicken Salad Sandwich, Sesame Ginger Chicken Bowl, Lil Lemon Bundt Cake, Plain Bagel w/Cream Cheese, Fruit Cup, Apple & French Baguette)! But my new favorites are the Sesame Ginger Chicken Bowl and Lil Lemon Bundt Cake ... delicious!!! And my forever favorite, Broccoli Cheddar Soup with a French Baguette side ... simply the best!!!!!! Thank you Panera!"
"Asian Sesame Chicken Salad had some pretty sad, wilted greens. Corn Chowder seemed to be very thick potato soup rather than corn, and didn't get any tortilla strips for a crunchy topping ... did find one in the salad though. No ice in Iced Tea. Still tasty but a little disappointed tonight. Not as good as what I've gotten from the Mooney Blvd. location."

"The berry stuffed French Is awesome. As you can see, the biscuits and gravy is a little less than desired. One biscuit with only a little bit of gravy, it is definitely not a biscuits and gravy meal as it pertains to be on the menu. It was cold, and just MEH."

"I ordered the Chili Cheeseburger (with 2 extra quarter-pound patties), an order of Foster's Fries, an order of Fish And Chips, and a large serving of ice cream and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. The three beef patties were excellent, and so was the chili sauce and melted American cheese. The Foster's Fries were also excellent. It could use more Foster's Sauce, but otherwise the order was very good. The Fish And Chips had three small whitefish fillets, equal to one good-sized fillet, and it was crispy beer-battered on the outside, and tender and juicy on the inside. The ice cream and peanut butter cups were cold, sweet, and very flavorful. The food was wonderful. I highly recommend that you go to Foster's Freeze for a wonderful, fast-food comfort lunch or dinner."

The meat was packed in; super stacked! They make sure their customers are getting their moneys worth. Great speedy service, don't pass on the fries! They're seasoned with a house spice. Nice mild kick but give great flavor. Must try if you're downtown or even want it delivered."
"Sandwich was fresh and flavorful. Id just suggest to splurge on a bigger size than the mini for $10.85 - the size isn't worth the price. "

"Sandwiches both tasted good. It would have been great, but their meat portions are too small for the price. Need to place aus jus in a drink holder or let Dasher know it's in there. It was spilled all in the separate bag and only a very small amount was left in the container."

"Meat lovers breakfast burrito not nearly as tasty as I remember it from a few years ago at the Jack in the box in Santa Maria… It also wasn't as big as I remember… Or as juicy. Totally dry, and even the salsa they give you with it didn't taste good. First of all, it wasn't enough salsa… But it was so bland there was no taste to it whatsoever. I Do not recommend."
"The meat lovers beef burrito is not as good as it used to be. I remember a few years back it had this kind of Mexican sauce inside of it, that made it a wet burrito and it was delicious. But now it's dry, and the sauce is gone. Also, the salsa that they give you a check in the box isn't even close to real salsa. Almost like tomato ketchup."
