This is a chain place, but for a chain place it's pretty good. They offer a variety of.....wait for it.....noodle dishes. These range from mac 'n cheese to stroganoff to Italian themed and Asian themed dishes. They also offer a few salads. Overall the food is very tasty and fresh. As a nice touch, most noodle dishes come in two sizes, so if you want only a small portion of pasta (are you nuts?), you have that option. Another cool thing about this place is that they have one of those mix and match soda fountains in which you can make a variety of flavored sodas. Some of them are good, others aren't that hot, but since you choose which flavor goes with which soda, you can't blame anyone but yourself if you don't like the outcome (you can always dump your soda out and make a new one if this is the case). This place is right next to campus and can be busy on a weekend night, and they also offer carry-out.
Review Source:I visited the restaurant for the first time and loved it. Â I had the asian pan noodle dish and it was yummy with a kick! Â Also got a rice krispy bar, which was wonderful.
They were really busy so I thought I would be waiting awhile and they were actually really fast. Â I noticed that the staff was very efficient and very friendly.
Will be returning and can't wait to try the buttered noodles next.. :)
Noodles & Company is another family favorite. This is great for choice for vegetarians. I like to get beef with my noodles. The location in conveniently located close to the ISU campus. They also offer takeout which is great. The have a drink selection similar to the noon-coffee selection at Starbucks. The flatbread and cookies help round out the meal.
Review Source:Pretty much what the name claims... They have noodles. It's kind of a fast food noodle place where you order and then they bring it to the table so don't go expecting fine dining.
At the same time the food is always hot, it's always fast and it's always good and you can't beat that.
My particular favorite is egg noodles with a parmesan crusted chicken breast added. They have beer and wine and of course self serve soda and iced tea.
If you can't finish your meal they even have a nice little box you can put your leftovers in to take home with you.
