Noodles & Company

I love Noodles & Company!!! I live in Wheeling and I almost always go to the location in Lincolnshire! The staff are very friendly/​helpful and patient wheather they’re busy or not! The restaurant is clean, organized and supplies are well stocked! The food is served hot and delish and now they offer kids meals which is awesome! The kids meal offers an entrée, two sides and drink included for $ 5! We love this place and as long as they continue to deliver excellent customer service, we will be back on a regular basis no doubt!

Typical Noodles & Co. This one’s located in the little plaza by Cheesecake Factory (the strip-​mall section behind Cheesecake). Parking lot is a P.I.T.A. — but other than that it’s a typical Noodles store.
The staff here has always been friendly. Service is usually pretty quick. Plenty of seating. If you’re in the neighborhood, and hungry for noodles, why not?!

Just an average example of this chain. On a Saturday night in November it seems well staffed, but they had a lot of trouble keeping it clean (especially the floors), slow to do clearing of tables, and keeping supplies stocked. The the food was up to the normal standard for this chain, which is to say pretty good, at least for the Thai hot pot item we ordered.

Free noodle on my bday. 4 cheeses with mushroom spinach chicken and tomatoes .
Tomato basil bisque is always good I do like to add milk to it at home a little heavy on the salt. Giant cookie yum

Good place. Soup was fantastic… Seems they use frozen protein in the dishes. Chicken pieces in the noodles were still a bit cold. Prompt and fast service was the stand out point of this chain.

Simply good. Something quick and not half bad. The entire family gets what they want.

Tried Noodles & Co. after a few disappointments on my first few nights in town. They seemed to have a good mix of international flavors including Thai, Italian, Indonesian, American, etc… I saw a good 4 – 5 entrees that looked enticing but I was tempted by their soup and sandwhich deal for $ 6.99 which was an amazing deal! I ended up with the BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich and a Thai Curry Soup. Ordered online and picked up no issues. The food was fresh and hot. In the restaurant the place was very clean and organized, staff was very helpful and welcoming. I got back to the hotel and started with the soup. It was everything that Big Bowl wasn’t Tasty and flavorful. The soup was authentic tasting and had a lot of flavor but not any one which was overwhelming. It was a great appetizer size to pair with the sandwich. The BBQ Pulled Pork sandwich was also very good. BBQ came on the side and had a lot of flavor. Pork was plentiful and ciabatta bread was nice and warm yet crunchy. The food was the best of the bunch I had so far and for the price, it is amazing they don’t charge double. I will definitely be going back for those entrees.

Very dirty. Came in at 5PM. Very few patrons. All 4 booths were covered with old plates and bowls from prior diners. Had to ask to have them cleaned off. Worker brought out filthy rag from the back, stacked old plates on another dirty booth, and wiped top of table with the dirty rag. Pot stickers were coated with large black speckles from the pan grizzle. Other locations are much better.

I used to be a HUGE fan of Noodles & Co. until their menu changed. My favorite was always the penne noodles and marinara sauce with flaky parmesan cheese, but they don’t even have that option on the menu anymore.
Stopped at this location today — Penne Rosa is spicy! Got a side salad for $ 1 extra but there was quite a bit of dressing on it. No me gusta.
My favorite part of this was that I received the «Most Polite of the Day» award! I am assuming that he was the manager, but he complimented on how polite I was and let me have a sweet treat because of it. It absolutely made my day :)

This is the worst Noodles & Co location I’ve ever been to. It’s poorly staffed during peak times. Orders were messed up. Is not worth the wait & will not return to this location.

Service was terrible, make that awful. First the clerk skipped us in the order line. The food was slow. After 30 minutes we started trying to get their attention. They gave us credits for future meals. After 45 minutes they gave us our money back and promised our food was ready. Some of it was. Many tables sitting dirty, not picked up for 30 minutes. People were walking out unserved. Phone-​in customers were waiting 30 minutes. Food quality was poor when we finally got it. Manager (?) was visibly incompetent, not directing the staff.

This is a great restaurant it has awesome service and the manager was really focused on our satisfaction. The restroom was out of service and the manager had arranged with another nearby restaurant to allow us access. He ‘comped’ us 2 drinks. When the penne noodles came back a little burned, he promptly replaced them and gave us a free desert. The place is immaculately clean and pleasant. Gets busy in the evening. I love this place!!!

I love it so much!

It’s a little high priced for noodles but they are oh so good!

DEERFIELD location on Waukegan. We have been to many Noodles locations that we love and this one was horrible. All of the food was made wrong. I sent my dish back and that was still wrong and it also was made with hair. Gross.
Bad food happens but food with someone’s hair in it is unacceptable. What even more unacceptable is the managers annoyance with me. Is making the wrong dish and cooking it a second time with a sprinkling of hair annoying to you? It sure is to me.
These employees were all totally unapologetic and just didn’t care. Unfortunately Noodles is going to be tainted for us for a long time.

Horrible. I’ve driven by this place several times & have been curious. We tried it for the first time yesterday. I told the staff it was my first time there… but they were absolutely no help to me whatsoever. There was 1 staff member who was nice, the others were terrible. The food… horrible. Waaaaay too spicy, noodles were stale & I couldn’t stand to eat even 2 bites before I threw it in the trash. Husband’s food was just as bad… vegetables way too overcooked. For the kids we got their «buttered noodles» which my kids wouldn’t even touch. It was all horrible & we will never be back.

I could eat here everyday and be happy! My favorites are the Japanese pan noodles w/​sauteed beef and penne rosa with either beef of chicken. The first time I tried the mac & cheese, I loved it. The second time, however, it was pretty bad and I couldn’t even taste any cheese on the noodles.
In addition, I really wish the portion sizes were a little bigger. I mean, a «regular» sized bowl w/​meat will cost you almost $ 10 and I always finish it feeling like I didn’t get enough. Perhaps the noodles could come with garlic bread or a roll or something.
I’m addicted to their rice crispy treats, however, it seems like they are cut in different sizes every time I go there. Sometimes they’re big, sometimes they’re small.
During the lunch rush, it is almost impossible to find parking in the ridiculously small lot. You may have to park in another lot and walk.

Not as well kept as the other Noodles & Co. Besides the piece of wood that was inside my pot sticker, I also slipped and fell in the bathroom. There was toilet paper on the floor and wet around the toilet area. Falling and seeing ‘nastiness’ is not a good way to start lunch.

First time at this one, just as good as the other one, GREAT… I love these guys!

I really like Noodles and the concept is clever. I can choose Asian, Italian or traditional American type pasta cuisine. You can somewhat customize the dish by adding from the list of proteins. Timing is everything at this place (and others in the same strip). If you plan on coming here between 1130am-​1230pm park in the lot directly to the North. You will probably not get a spot at the high lunch time crowd. Call ahead and take out works well. Today I called in my order and parked in the «pick up» parking space, walked in, in and out in under 5 minutes. Food is better than decent.

This place serves food that is basically a step up from packaged ramen.
The noodles were overcooked and the flavoring tastes like powdered packs. The chicken was pretty bland and everything was incredibly salty. The vegetables are the only thing remotely salvageable.
The interior design is alright though, nothing to write home about.
