I went to Noodles and Co for the first time the other day with my sister for a quick bite. Â I live in NJ and have yet to come across this chain, and was enticed by the Wisconsin Mac and Cheese that was advertising.
My sister and I ordered a large mac and cheese to share with the added meat balls. Â They split the order for us and we both had sizable portions. The pasta was good, but I expected it to be cheesier/sharper and it was more creamy (but still good). Â We also got a complimentary salad which was nice. Â I'd like to go back and try their other combos, such as the Mediterranean one.
This place makes eating pasta way too convenient. There are so many menu options but I keep coming back to the same one- that tasty penne rosa. It's sort of fast food sort of not, eating with real dishes and cutlery makes a big difference. It is always clean, well-staffed with friendly people. I even came in late once, about half an hour before closing, and volunteered to stock the bottled drinks while we waited for our order. My husband rolled his eyes but the employee and I had fun!
Review Source:i read the reviews while i was eating here. and it seems like the same noodles experience i get at any noodles.
the food is the same as i would get at another noodles. and I read that the staff here is horrible. While I didn't get horrible service, I didn't get over the top outstanding service here either. They were very quiet thru the entire process.
They do have one of the new coke machines that has 10000000 million billion choices.
They are offering some new sandwiches and apps too.
The first time I was introduced to Noodles and Company was the time they offered free trios for students at my school. Since then I have been back on numerous occasions.
My only complaint is as of recently they have an employee there who is rude. Ever since I started eating at Noodles and Company I always have received adequate service. So when I was graced with the presence of this employee I was shocked. I figured they were either new or having a bad day.
After encountering them again I do not think this is the case. They have a poor attitude, to say the least. The last time we went in they rang me up and gave me a total, when clearly there was another person with me. You should probably ask if we want anything else before stating my total rudely.
When I asked for a different salad dressing than the usual options, said employee acted as if it were out of the question, and I order it all the time. I was so annoyed with the attitude of this employee that I wrote a complaint to Noodles and Company. Up until now they have not responded to my e-mail. Go figure.
I can take my business elsewhere and if this is how the employees will treat their customers I will stop dining there. It is a shame because I love their food. Their mac and cheese is delicious. They would have received five stars, but I deducted two. One for their rude employee and two for ignoring the e-mail I sent through their website regarding said employee.
I've been a fan of Noodles and Co. since my Boulder days. I remember sitting down with my friends, having a huge bowl of their pan noodles or mac and cheese and walking away full and happy.
Since that time Noodles has really expanded not only in their locations but in their menu. They've added a bunch of salads and soups and...for me it's never really worked. I'm of the opinion that the only side you need with their dishes is one of their rice krispie treats.
So, I swung by their newest location and picked up some pad thai with shrimp. The noodles were just one big clump and the tofu in the dish tasted like a total afterthought and didn't absorb any of the flavors. Really disappointing, especially considering the number of places you can go for noodle dishes on this side of town. I wanted something a little more complex than mac and cheese, but I think I'll stick with that from here out. Service was fine but when you have an open kitchen you should encourage your cooks to do something else between dishes than give the back of the restaurant  the thousand-yard stare.
A note, I got this address from their order form; this location is part of a new development at Havana and Mississippi known as the Gardens on Havana where Buckingham Square used to be. It looks like Google maps hasn't updated with the new streets yet. They're going for an outdoor mall kinda thing. So far there's Noodles, the Qdoba next door, and a nail salon coming soon. Riiiiight...
