This place is not good. Simple as that. I paid $26 for some spaghetti and Mac and cheese and 2 sodas. The spaghetti resembled VERY closely a banquet TV dinner. I've been known to eat a banquet TV dinner ($1) from time to time and prefer their sauce to that of Noodles Corporation or whatever. The meatballs were a dead ringer, you could tell they are frozen and their flavor was extremely bland. The Mac and Cheese had no flavor, a real runny type of cheese and flavorless.
Now this is where the meal took an incredible turn, the Coke was amazing. I opted for a Vanilla Coke from their one freestyle machine and let me tell ya, it was worth the wait behind several technology inept individuals pounding away at the multitude of choices and screens before them. This particular twist on Coca Cola's signature product was both refreshing and unexpected. The vanilla flavors really played well with the natural deliciousness of the Coke. Well done Noodles and Co, well done!
Anyway, to sum up, you'd be better advised to skip Noodle Palace and hit up your local Fry's Food to grab yourself a few banquet dinners and a sixer of your favorite brand of soda.
