The employees are invariably lackadaisical, unwelcoming, and distracted. I try to avoid Noodles if I can. Their food is obviously just whatever fast food. But I really love that they have corkscrew pasta.
A positive of Noodles is that they can provide you with information on what is vegan and what is not (and how to modify certain dishes to make them vegan). I don't particularly like their vegan options, but if I had to choose, I would go with a dairy-free Penne Rosa with tofu.
