Panera is busy at lunch time, not so much at dinner time. The only other restaurants in Spanish Springs are the fake Greek place which is MOSTLY drinkers, the Italian place which is great but VERY expensive, and the seafood place which is also great but expensive.

There used to be a wine-drinking place but they closed down a year or more ago. There's also Kilwin's ice cream which is - also very expensive (I think I had to pay something like $7 for a single SCOOP of ice cream).

In addition to the closed and still vacant restaurants there are also a few vacant stores, and I'll give J.Jill's 6 months of being open before they shut down as well.
Dunkin’ closed about 5 months ago, the new coffee shop/mini restaurant is very close to opening.
Italian restaurant has great lunch specials for $12, and the food is excellent. By far the best piccata in TV. Kilwins prices are in same rage as many hand scoops business. J Jill has national issues along with a large % of brick and mortar.
