I love carbs and I love pasta, so Noodles & Co is a place that I really want to like. Each of the handful of times I've gone, I end up finding myself thinking that I WANT to enjoy the food more than I actually do.
I went to the soft opening of this location, and found myself thinking the same thing...again. Even my friend said the same.
There's nothing to not like, per se. It's very clean, the look and feel is very modern, the staff is friendly, yet I leave each time feeling that something is amiss.
There's just something lackluster about the food; I've made much more satisfying pasta and noodle dishes in my own kitchen.
If I'm starving and Noodles & Co is the only nearby option, I'll go. Otherwise, I'll probably choose something else from now on.
