Noodles & Company

Noodles and company is a great place to go. Whenever I’m at the mall we almost always stop by there and i always get the same thing the buttered noodles and every single time i eat it I’m like that was so delicious delicious because it is and it taste amazing. And this place does not-​have not-​have not-​have not-​have not-​have not-​have not-​have not-​have not-​have not-​have not-​have not-​have not-​have but also for Adults. Even though there is so much more on the menu that i could get i choose the Noodles!

This is a GREAT Noodles. Probably the best in the twin cities. The staff is incredibly nice, very efficient, and seem to live their jobs. This location is always very clean and as always, the food is wonderful. Manager Rick went above and beyond for a special request I had. Thank you so much!

I’m addicted to the soda machine. I’m not a huge soda fan, but I love the possibilities that the giant self-​serve soda machine offers.
Yes, their noodles are good too. For some reason people like to bring kids here which baffles me since it’s not exactly cheap, but I suppose it’s a healthier option than a questionable burger from the golden arches.
Service is always quick and friendly.

Disappointing, I have been back to this restaurant several times and tried the Bangkok Curry, bland; Indonesian Peanut, only hot, not flavorful at all. The Mac & Cheese is the only thing here that actually tastes good but is ridiculously unhealthy, basically a bowl of noodles, cheese and cream that you stir yourself. I will not be dragged here again.

Definitely not my first pick for fast noodles. Although the ingredients are fresh, which is a big bonus, the quality of the food is sub par. With a topping, you’ll pay over $ 8 for noodles and could get a much better deal someplace else. If you really want fresh home-​made authentic Asian noodle dishes, there are several other hot spots in town, like UniDeli or Little Szechuan. I wouldn’t recommend this place unless you have no other option for some reason.

It’s fast-​food pasta! Nothing that will blow your mind but when you compare it to the sludge you get at some other fast-​food places, that’s when Noodles starts looking pretty good. The pesto pasta dish and the stroganoff are pretty good. Just get a trio and a water cup and you’re not spending that much. At least that’s if you’re used to spending $ 7 – 8 on lunch downtown. It will fill you up even if you have a good appetite. The Caesar salad is yummy. At least they have some variety and try to up the standards a little bit for fast food. You could do a lot worse, even at ‘real restaurants’.

It’s Noodles. You know exactly what to expect and when you go there you get it. The Mac n Cheese is good. If you want a little spice get the Thai Curry Soup.

Oh gawds, I’ve done it again… another corporate chain restaurant review… LOL
No really, this place merits a review. My first experience at Noodles and company was on, of all days, April Fool’s Day 2006. I had just gotten off the plane in Minneapolis/​St. Paul and was wickedly hungry. When asked what I wanted to eat, I said, «Hmmm…pasta.»…and after a jaunt to Highland Park… there I was grubbin away on some mushroom stroganoff. This place immediately became my fav easy-​peasy, grab and go pasta place. And then sadly I went back to CT and they didn’t have Noodles & Co. there…:(But, I never forgot the nom-​ability of this place.

There is nothing special about the food at Noodles and Company. In fact, no matter what you order or how you ask for it done, everything from this place tastes a little bit like everything else. My family does hit this joint on occasion as it is a good place that allows you to get something for the toddler and a little something fun for the adults, and is a restaurant that tolerates little kids well. Free refills on pop does not hurt, and their flat bread is pretty good too. Their salads are okay… its another okay place to eat. Nothing that will blow your doors off, but okay.

Maybe I need to be more adventurous in my ordering. But it was a good day for mac and cheese. I thought it was bland, and it didn’t do anything but over calorize me. What mac and cheese would move me and make it a great day and make me not give a hoot in hell about the calories? Pop and TGI Fridays.

Expensive fast food noodles. Do you need to hear more than that? Tasteless, expensive, small amounts of vegetables. Starch city! Just go home and make your own pasta, it’s really easy. I don’t know how this place can stay open… oh yeah, there’s tons of people who don’t know their way around a kitchen and like really boring fast food!

I don’t even want to know how many calories are in these dishes, but I can tell you that the main ingredient is crack (this I am sure of, because it’s so addicting). Their plates are delicious and leave you feeling satisfied. The best part is that you can specify everything to your exact wishes.
So far I’ve tried the Wisconsin Mac & Cheese, which cannot be beat. I know it seems ridiculous to pay $ 5 for a bowl of mac, but this is NOT your Kraft boxed mac. They use a creamy cheese sauce and top it off with REAL shredded cheese. Another favorite is Butter Noodles, which I order with the beef. I also recommend the Pesto Cavatappi — hold the vegetables and add shrimp. It really tastes like the pasta I was served in Italy.
While Noodles is expensive for what it is: noodle, I believe that you’re really getting your money’s worth and then some. Not only are the portions perfect, but the system of the establishment should be applauded. It is so simple: You get in line (usually not a long wait), order what you want, get your number, sit down and food is brought to you within 10 minutes, then you enjoy at a table or take it to go (no tipping — even better!). Either way you are in and out in no time. It couldn’t get be much simpler than that.
Noodles is especially good for a family lunch or dinner because most children love the simple dishes such as Mac & Cheese or Butter Noodles, while there are more flavorful, mature dishes for adults. But don’t let your age keep you from indulging in the simple comfort foods. You’d be surprised how sophisticated mac can get.
