Excellent !
Panino's is one of my favorite restaurants. I get there as often as I can. All of their food is very fresh, and delicious. Their pasta's and pizzas are superb, but nothing tops their panino sandwich ! And there is something for every taste- barbecue, southwest, italian, veggie, etc.
And if you go, make sure to order the homemade bread sticks, with a side of their ranch dressing as a dipper, you won't believe how amazing they are !    [21 May 2002 09:56:55]

Panino's is a Great Family Place!
Panino's is a great place for a family of five, like mine, or for a couple looking for a bite to eat. Every thing is reasonably priced. I have never had such wonderful service. The panino sandwiches are only to be found here which make it one of a kind.    [28 Jul 2002 23:24:15]

Recommended Dishes: The buffalo chicken is a favorite to many. I enjoy the ranch and veggie panino's personally. If you are in the mood for spaghetti, come in on a Monday night because you can have all you can eat spaghetti for just $4.95 plus tax and it comes with a salad and garlic bread. YUM YUM YUM!!!

PANINO'S SERVICE IS TERRIBLE
My wife and I went to Panino's on Friday May 16. We had about a 20 minute wait to be seated (which was expected).

We sat down and ordered. We ordered and that is when things started or did not start to happen. We got an appetizer of their fries and some water.

We sat and waited. Our waitress came around every ten minutes or so to tell us our food will be right up. It never arrived. Meanwhile, other people who were seated after us started getting their food. After 40 minutes, we asked the waitress to get the Manager. The Manager came over about 10 minutes later to review what we ordered. She said it would be right up. There was no apology for what was going on and no real concern for our needs. Another 10 minutes went by and we asked for our check because we wanted to leave. The waitress went to get the Manager. The Manager never came back. Instead, she sent a young girl over to say that we did not have to pay for our appetizers and water. We left.

The Management and staff was not very concerned that we had to wait an hour. The place was not that busy. We had to wait 20 minutes to be seated where there was open tables. Throughout our time we noticed people having to wait with tables available.

This was one of the worst places I have ever been in regards to service and Management paying attention to its customers.    [21 May 2003 22:29:07]

Panino's is a great place to eat!
This is in regards to the review "Panino's service is terrible". I am honestly in shock that anyone would write something as ridiculous as this! I have been going to Paninos for over 4 years and know that something like this would not happen,especially so recently... they have some of the best staff working that it makes it such a pleasure to come and eat. The staff is always friendly and I have gotten to know a lot of them.    [22 Jul 2003 02:11:03]

Usually Excellent
... but sometimes it is absolutely horrible.
I have eaten at Panino's probably 50+ times. I work about 3 miles away and live about 4. I would consider myself a regular.

Here's the lowdown, out of 10 times you go, for whatever reason, one of those experiences will absolutely be horrific. I have had to wait an hour for my food before. I have had the waitress put the wrong order in for our table. I have had some terrible Panino's. But...when Panino's is on, it is fantastic. I am not sure why Chet's crew can't get more consistent...I actually did not dine there for about 12 months after having an appalling experience, but returned to have one of their wonderful Panino's. I just don't know what it is. I highly recommend the Spaghetti Pie Panino, Big Bopper or Chicken Cheddar. Their pizza is also excellent...I recommend getting their meatballs too.    [01 Apr 2004 12:57:53]
