I really like Noodles & Company. It is tough to find fresher food than this. I have been twice now and ordered vegetarian choices and the veggies were fresh and tasty. You can see the cooks preparing each meal to order. I can see how this would leave lots of room for error, but both times my meals were great. My kids get the mac n cheese and it is really yummy.
Yet, I would caution that if you judge your restaurants based upon quantity, this will not be a good choice for you. The portions are not large. I left both times feeling like I had eaten just the right amount of food and I am not a real big eater. If you prefer big meals you will have to spend quite a bit to get full here I would say.
