Noodles and Company

"Mac and cheese baby! Like many, Mac and cheese was a staple growing up. And now that I'm grown, it remains an all time favorite dish. Several years back I visited a different location and the food wasn't so great. That's how long it has been since I stepped foot in any Noodles location. Figured why not recently as was not disappointed. Been back twice in 2 weeks. Ordered the "new and improved" Mac and cheese bowls. Regular size. One was the BBQ and the other buffalo chicken. Both spot on, but I'd say the buffalo was the favorite. Portions were good. Not great, not reduced. Flavor was great. I did notice initially the dishes were watery, but mixing and letting it sit for a few helped out. I will say drink prices are way out of the range they should be, for the cans and or bottles. I don't do fountain ones. Main reason for the 4 stars vs 5. The other is cost, as many discuss. We all know stuff is expensive anymore, and it reflects in tons of reviews all over. Do I feel it was pricey? A tad. But the portion and flavor were good. So I also count the cost as a missing star, but wasn't as large a factor as the drinks. As far as how the place looks etc...meh. it's not interesting nor terrible. Just bland. I'm guessing the science behind that is to get people in and out, but it lacks none the less. Anyway, I'll be back for my Mac!!!"

"Very bad experience the bowl came half empty, I don’t know why these fast food places are cutting on the portion size of the food recently? Yes do make profit but not off of the customer’s back… I mean I paid money for a small size bowl, do fill it up with food dude.. come on now!!"

"I would consider myself a connoisseur of noodles and company locations, where I have a mental ranking of all locations. This one is my favorite. My noodles are always perfectly yummy and the staff is above and beyond kind, especially the manager. It's always a nice escape from work to get my noodles for lunch from this specific location. For context of my experience, I have eaten here at least once a week for over a year."

"I used to eat here because it was near work, but I will never go here again. The last time I went, I added shrimp to my noodles. When I bit into one of them, I found that the shrimp hadn't been cleaned. The digestive tract, was still there. Poop and all. I could literally taste the poo of the shrimp. I was sick for two days. When I called to talk to a manager, they were dismissive and I didn't even get an apology. I got hung up on. I've emailed corporate and never got a response. I've even reached out through Facebook with no results. Let me reiterate. Noodles and Company DOES NOT CLEAN THEIR SHRIMP. It is served with the digestive tract and waste, and it will make you sick. I will never eat here again, nor will I ever go to any other Noodles and Company ever again. And neither should you."

"Pretty nice restaurant chain! Expected mediocre good from a franchise, but was proved wrong with the quality of dishes and level of professional customer service! This was my first time here and will definitely be a lifetime customer! Building was exceptionally clean and staff pleasant/patient while waiting for me to decide. Tried buffalo chicken mac, Wisconsin mac, all Asian dishes, and pot stickers! OH OH OH dont forget to grab a cookie!"
