Noodles & Company Kingstowne

I have not visited Noodles in a couple of years. Each time I do go, their menu is updated with more delicious options. Their menu options have evolved to provide more vegetarian choices. During this visit, I tried the Cauliflower Rigatoni with Garlic Cream sauce. To top it off, I requested grilled chicken but could tell this dish is great without the chicken. Simply put, this dish was phenomenal! This particular location is located near the theater in Kingstowne. Easy to get to with a friendly staff. I had originally intended to eat at Firehouse but am glad I chose Noodles!

I’ve actually been coming here since they opened in 2010 and it’s been consistent. They dropped the size of their bowls a couple years back, but they’ve added more sides and pasta selections recently Location is solid. Social distancing rules are being adhered too. Pro tip: you can order extra pasta to your dish :)

Pick up order: First time trying it. Pasta priced like local sit in restaurants, definitely not 'fast food prices'. Pasta was dry with a few pieces of chicken (chicken was good). My Co-worker said you can pay for extra sauce ... I refuse to pay for extra sauce since that's never been an issue at regular restaurants that sell pasta dishes (I usually have to tell them light on the sauce). Garlic bread sold separately as well which is usually included at regular restaurants. Not my cup of tea, won't be back.

Loved the mac and cheese here, my order was prepared quickly and the women who took my order was incredibly polite. However, I’m only giving 3 stars due to an employee who was not wearing a name-tag loudly making moaning noises in the back, interrupted with him yelling “oh baby.” He somewhat soured the experience, especially since there where families eating in the building at the time.
