"bread bowls (2 separate orders on 2 separate days) were stale and nasty. Charging $10+ for a chicken soup and bread bowl that you can get for under $5 literally anywhere seems kind of outrageous. The tiny portion with a bad bread bowl is wild, in my opinion. The New Milford, CT Panera contines to dissapoint. Will NOT order again."

"Just the right level of heat and the right balance of seasoning. It was delicious."
"I have to be honest I started this meal annoyed because DoorDash took an extremely long time to assign a driver and deliver my order. By the time the food arrived, I was convinced it was going to be cold and disappointing. I was completely wrong. I ordered the chicken tenders, fries, and banana pudding. The chicken was fried perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and absolutely delicious. The fries were seasoned and came with ranch, and the comeback sauce was so good I found myself dipping everything in it. Even after the delivery delay, the food held up surprisingly well. The banana pudding was fresh, cold, and the perfect dessert to finish the meal. This was my first time ordering from Birdcode, and despite the delivery frustration, the quality of the food completely won me over. I’ll definitely be back to try the chicken sandwich next. If this is the standard they’re setting as a new restaurant, they’re off to a great start."

"This combo lunch is a winner affordable too. The chiken was tender and the Honey chipotle sauce and blue cheese cream are perfect. With fries and soup are perfect combination with the combo. Only my iced tea has a problem they gave me unsweetened. "
"Absolutely the worst chili I have ever had. It's pretty hard to mess up chili but they did it. My chili arrived ice cold, horrible tasting, over powered with chili powder and way too salty. The meat was rubbery which makes me think they used soy beans and the $7.99 bowl you get is really the size of a cup. Just atrocious and over priced merchandise they want to call chili."
