Terrible Noodles location!!! Ordered a salad when there was one other customer there. Took them 25 minutes to throw a few pieces of chicken onto a Pre made salad mix. When I finally got it, there were lettuce cores and the bad parts you don’t eat. The high school aged girl was screaming at the«chefs» the whole time., «where’s my salad.» Totally embarrassing moment for all parties. Will never go back to this location again.

This is one of the very few places where you can obtain slightly healthy take-out in the area, so I eat here allot. I have tried most of their menu, and mainly stick to the healthy options. Right now, I’m missing their summer BBQ salad, and I wish that was a main staple on the menu. That was out of this world good! I normally go for the spicy caesar wrap, and a side salad no dressing. Do not order their caesar, since they seem to believe that people want their lettuce drowning in caesar dressing. Just get the veggies and put your own mix on your salad.(pomegranate balsamic w/greek olive oil is a personal favorite) I would like to see this place with an adult in charge. Each time I go, the place is ran by a ton of teenagers that all seem to be having a little too much fun. It’s okay to have fun at work, but when you have a ton of customers waiting, it’s time to get focused.

Wasn’t impressed by my experience here. Not a lot of food options. Really overpriced for some noodles. Not a place worth to blow money on.

Always a solid place for food. Its not fancy and I don’t believe its clogging my arteries like other chain places. You always know what you’re gonna get and its always delicious! Try their sandwiches! I was a bit skeptical at first since its a noodle place, but the med sandwich is great and low calorie!

Love this place! Don’t mind the wait for the food since I know it’s being cooked fresh. The staff is always nice and will give you recommendations if needed. The only complaint is that the prices are a little high but the food is delicious so it’s not a massive complaint on my end

Always loved this place — today I used their iOS app to order ahead — worked great. Set the food to be prepared immediately, got their in about 10 – 15 minutes and my order was ready.

First off, it took forever for them to make my food, which was an order of penne rosa and the bbq pork. They had the sandwich sitting there 2 minutes after I paid, but it got cold(assuming it was ever hot) by the time they finished the other stuff and gave it to me. I didn’t eat the penne rosa because that was for someone else, but the bbq pork description said«loaded with slow-braised pork, colorful coleslaw and barbecue drizzle». There was probably half an ounce of pork, some red lettuce, and chunks of white stuff and what I think was mayo. I’d assumed the coleslaw would be on the side, not in the sandwich but that was my mistake. But back to the pork, it was more like a shredded pork spread on a huge bun than really«loaded» with anything. Admittely, the pork tasted good, what little there was, but it was definitely not worth $ 6.99. After picking out the coleslaw, the little remaining pork was not even a mouthful. I pitched the rest, not even trying the bread. I was very disappointed. This is why I don’t like trying new things. I get ripped off or find the food is unpleasant. The pulled pork alone, without the slaw or bread, probably would have been good, although not worth more than $ 1.00 for what little there was. I might go back to try the spagetti and meatballs, but probably not as I’m guessing the sauce will be mostly a blended tomato. I guess it’s my own fault for trying pork at a noodle place.

Wish this location was better, I have been to great Noodles locations and this one is just ok. Food can be expensive, so it really isn’t a cheap place to eat, though I do love the Coca-Cola machine and its endless choices. I always get the Asian Salad and its a great, low-cal option there and it completely fills me up. However, I HATE that they do not chop up the chicken. Its in huge pieces and your dish is so full that you end up loosing some food in order to cut up you chicken. I wonder if I can ask them to cut it…

We love their Indonesian Peanut Sauté and Japanese pan noodles. Excellent food at reasonable prices.

My friend and I were jonesin’ for some mac ‘n cheese and I figured we’d stop at this location instead of the one near Woodfield. I will forever beg for her forgiveness after recommending we go to this one. First, we both agreed that the staff was perfect. Our poor experience had nothing to do with them. I ordered the Wisc. mac with parmesan crusted chicken. I’ve never had the chicken before, but my friend had(she suggested it) so I thought it’d be fine. It was disappointing to see hardly any cheese sauce on the bottom and a giant pile of shredded cheese on top. It was almost too bitter and tasted completely different than the other locations I’ve been to. I don’t even know how that can happen. The chicken wasn’t all that great either… It was breaded and tasted strongly of lemon and not a whole lot like parmesan. When my friend tried it she said it was nothing like what she’s had before. It was overall a «meh» food experience for me. My friend ordered the Wisc. mac n cheese with meatballs and noticed a difference right off the bat. The meatballs had a «not-so-fresh from the freezer» look to them and tasted the same. They were plopped on top and, from what I was told, tasted horrible. She got a to-go box to put the majority of the food in and I’m pretty sure it’s still in the car or in a garbage can. I didn’t know you could go wrong with noodles and cheese. It was a sad day.

I am not really sure why it was $ 23 for four of us to eat here when the kids split one meal and we didn’t get any drinks or dessert. For this price, we got: Small Truffle Mac N Cheese Small Japanese Noodles Small Mac N Cheese Small Chicken Noodle soup(which was only $ 1). Doesn’t seem like a lot of food for the price, does it? We didn’t think so either… The food was ok. Not as great as when I had it in MN, but I guess some places within chains are better than others. It was fast and tasted ok, so they had that going for them. I really liked the skin on the shredded chicken in my soup, though. Good touch! There are a lot better choices out there for less $$!

Restaurant Review I was excited about trying the fancy pants mac and cheese i.e. the truffle mac. They describe it as having Mac & Cheese sauce spiked with white truffle oil, sautéed baby portabella mushrooms and topped with parmesan cheese and house-made toasted breadcrumbs. Our order was quickly taken at the register and you had the option to add a soup or salad to your meal as well for 1 – 2 dollars more. We grabbed our number and took a seat and within a couple of minutes our food came. First of all the mac and cheese was lukewarm. Next the noodles themselves were undercooked and had a crunchiness above el dente. Finally the dish itself was rather bland with minimal cheese which made it difficult to finish. All and all two thumbs down. Maybe I should try something else next time instead of the house specialty. Pro– if you like noodles this is the place to go Con-lukewarm dish, no taste, and undercooked pasta Hidden deal– Sign up for noodlegram on the website for special savings and birthday free dish

I was so excited about this location. It’s literally like right across the street from my house. I gave this place two chances. They failed to deliver each time. The food was OK. But I’m more than happy with paying a little more for better customer service. If I wanted crappy, bad food and service I’d go to McDonald’s or BK. The employees don’t know the menu well. Or they don’t want to take the time to help you learn the menu. The first time I went the lady asked me if I needed silverware and I said yes. There was no silverware in my bag(luckily I checked before leaving). The second time the lady again asked me if I needed silverware and I said no and got silverware. That doesn’t bother me but why ask me when you’re not going to do what I want? I felt really rushed when ordering. I don’t go to noodles often so I’m not very familiar with the menu. I could tell I was annoying the girl on the register from taking SO long(less than a minute) and that made me uncomfortable. Asking questions was not allowed I guess so I probably could have left happy had it not been for the employees. Like i said, the food was alright but What did it for me was the rude service. Won’t be returning.

Let me start by saying that I am a big fan of Noodles & Company. I will choose this place over any place any day of the week. I can never get sick of eating N&C. HOWEVER… this particular location is horrible! Not only was I deceived by the illusion of a big location but the food prep was wrong. The older lady at the register had no idea how to take my order. She kept asking if I wanted spices on my buttered noodles. My response was I want it done the way it’s described. One really cannot mess up buttered noodles. Well… I got buttered noodles with no spices. I had to ask them to make my food TWICE. Then there was a bus boy who kept coming over to our table and asking to take our plates away when we would stop eating(even though there was food on our plates). I had to kindly ask him to not return as I will be eating everything on my plate. Location: Ok Size of location: small Cashier/Order taker: needs training Cook/Kitchen staff: learn the menu Bus Boy: please stop coming by so often Will this stop me from eating at Noodles and Company? No but I will not be returning to this location ever again.

Passing through and stopped here. Mac and cheese with meatballs, good. Tomato and cucumber salad good. Pan noodles dry, mushrooms not cut to bite size pieces and only 2. No cilantro. Poor prep.

Our first time of many visiting this new location. Because of its location(formerly Blockbuster Video) and newly construction, everything looks and is clean. They have a new automatic fountain drink dispenser that is mostly touch-screen activated. We had dinner here late on their outside lit patio space and the meal was a success as well as the ambiance. Even though by this time they had run out of their rice crispy treat dessert, we had a great time.
