Noodles & Company

Went there for lunch with about 6 of my sisters. Pretty busy but hardly a line and we got through fast. The friendly server sold me on the alfredo, adding that it comes with parmesan crusted chicken. Technically I think it comes with whatever meat you choose to pay for, or none for the base price. It was good, tho I personally would like to taste the garlic in alfredo. Sis1 said the tuscan fresca had a kick which surprised me as that dish was always bland in MN. SIL’s penne rosa was spicy, also surprising. Sis2 jealously eyed Sis3 and SIL2’s tuscan linguini from her tuscan fresca, which, as the clerk told those two, was creamier and had more vegetables. The 2 that got tuscan linguini (not on the menu) liked it. GF SIL had a salad, tho they do have GF pasta. Diet coke and big rice crispy treat was also good! It was funny when Sis1 was asked by the lady clerk if she wanted parmesan or feta and Sis1 happily said «Both!» the lady said, «I asked you if you wanted parmesan OR feta!» My 50yo sister was duly reprimanded, but felt she could have been offered her choice for a small fee.

I love that a gluten-​free menu. But I wish they would have another drink machine for the busy hours.
