| - With an upset stomach, but in need of some dinner, I decided some plain old noodles may be exactly what I needed.
Over past the Chick-Fil-A and next to Flying Biscuit, at 5:30 it was already starting to fill with families. The restaurant is LOUD. Even at first arrival, when there was hardly anyone there, there is a higher noise level than it would appear. But since I don't have children, I am more aware of noise than other folks who have been deafened by the incessant rumble of crumb snatchers may not notice.
You stand in line to order and are given your drink cup(s) and a number to put at your table. When your order is ready the fast wait staff whisk it to your table. Everyone employed there that I encountered was smiling, friendly and helpful.
I ordered the 3 Cheese Macaroni ($6) with a soft drink ($1.79) and COTTON CANDY ($1). As another reviewer stated, the 3 cheese mac was pretty meh - the sauce could be thicker, as it really just seemed like pasta water with some cheese residue in it. But it was fine - and it arrived to the table smoking hot. The bread stick served with the pasta was DELICIOUS. I could have eaten a 5 lb. sack full of just their breadsticks. Sodas were self serve with Coke products and teas. And the cotton candy, as silly as this sounds, was the highlight of the meal. It's hard to find cotton candy and for whatever reason, this absolutely hit the spot as I sat at the table delighting in the blue spun sugar.
It was fine. I would go again when feeling better to try something else. A woman sitting near me had a pasta dish with some tomatoes and something green that looked quite good. Dinner was less than $10 and I left fat, full and happy, so it's all good.
