They gave me the wrong dressing on my greek salad, greek salad dressing is not sweet. Its already the only thing i can eat at Panera that doesn’t make me ill. I ate it and felt sick later and have no way of knowing if it was the salad dressing or something else i ate and now I’m scared to go back.
2019–I can eat the tomato soup with NO croutons just fine. Many times and no reaction! I still get the green goddess salad if I’m starving. I don’t risk any other options. 2016 update- I have eaten the green goddess salad several times this summer with no reaction. Still not many choices for those with celiac or extreme sensitivities. If you risk it, order your meal separate from anyone else in your party. They get confused easily with allergy issues. 2015--Not many choices, but I understand and tend to avoid due to the amount of bread they have. I almost always get the turkey chili and a bag of chips and have had no GI issues after consuming this meal. I have had a few salads that were on the GFree menu but have had issues often and avoid them now.
I have completely knocked Panera off my list of possible places to eat. Even though they somewhat attempt to service and feed the gluten intolerant... It's just not happening. I have gotten sick off of salads from here.

No GF options except salads. No "hidden options" as well, at least w/ the people we talked to. a tad disappointing

I haven’t been to this location but Panera is not known for having good GF options. I have had success getting tea and coffee at the So Burl Panera. I wanted to add this location to the app to hear others’ experiences.
It has been some years since I’ve been there but mostly there wasn’t any celiac-safe food and I would only get tea. They also have coffee.
Had the world’s most lame salad. Would not recommend.
I have gotten soup from Panera a few times and have not been glutened. Several employees have warned not to order salads if you have celiac. The ingredients are prepared on the same surfaces as sandwiches.
Fuji apple chicken salad is my go-to. Order at kiosk can add allergy notes. Any allergy meals are packed to go and not on open plating to avoid cross contamination.
