Noodles & Company

This fast food restaurant is located just across Kenwood Mall. Nothing crazy special about it, but it's a good place to get yummy noodles (duh) and other simple pasta dishes.

Being the Asian that I am, I obviously had to try their Pad Thai. It was nowhere near as good as the one at Simply Thai (in Louisville) but it was good enough for the price. My husband got the mac and cheese with some pulled pork bbq on top, that was also good.

What I like about this place is that they have something for everyone. They have American, Asian, and Mediterranean dishes. They also offer small and regular sized dishes so you have the option of not dying for forcing yourself to finish the massive amount of food on your plate. They also have a cool computerized drink dispenser. You can mix your drinks using this high tech touch screen machine. The problem is that since you can "play" with it, the line gets long and it takes quite a while to get your drink.

It's a feel good after-shopping fast food resto. Will definitely go back if I go shopping at Kenwood Mall again.

I hit this place up for a quick lunch sometimes. I love the mac n' cheese. The cookies are amazing too!

Mmmmm.... carbs.

Like Jennifer D. said, this is a fast food place.  Don't expect fancy pants noodle bowls served with silver and china and a guy walking around asking if you want cheese or fresh cracked pepper.  What you can expect is simple, delicious pasta with simple, delicious ingredients.

My favorite is the chicken pesto pasta bowl.  They give it to you hot, fast, and it's not a bad price for the food that you get.  There's a good sized dining room so it's good if you're going to grab a bite with a few friends.

One thing I don't like is that it can be tricky getting into and out of the parking lot, but if you go during off-peak hours, it's a little easier.
