| - Let me first start off by saying that one of the reasons poor Noodles is only getting two stars from me is because of the hype. I heard SO many good things about Noodles & Company from several different people that had eaten at their locations across the country, so I was really looking forward to a yummy, carb-loaded meal. Unfortunately, the product definitely did not live up to the hype.
I ordered bacon cheeseburger mac and cheese (my mouth waters just by typing out those words). I had visions of hot, creamy cheese sauce with moist hamburger and hunks of bacon dancing in my head. Much to my dismay, the actual product was quite "chain-y". To start, the whole dish came out room temperature. The cheese sauce appeared to be white American and was just mehhh. On top was a dry combination of hamburger meat, bacon (bits?), shredded cheddar, green onions, and diced tomatoes. The tomatoes were the best part; it gave the dish some much needed acidic freshness. I won't lie, I ate the entire thing. But much like the cheese sauce, the entire dish was just very mehhhhh.
Something else too: Despite the fact that they advertise as such, they don't have beer. Yet? I know the restaurant is relatively new and they may be waiting on a liquor license and such, but if you say you have beer both on your storefront AND on your menu, you better have a sign up alerting us to otherwise. It was quite the "wah wah wah wahhhhh" moment.
But thankfully, my sadness from lack of beer was alleviated by their super fun pop machine! Talk about high-tech good times. They have one large machine and it's a touch screen. Your main screen gives you your basic choices for pop, and then once you choice your brand it goes to ANOTHER screen that gives you all these additional options for flavor! Did anyone else realize that Coke products come in nearly a dozen different flavors??? I mean, this was my first time here so I'm not sure if ALL of the options have that many flavor choices, but talk about a good time!
So my thoughts overall are: If you need a meal on the quick side (30 minutes or less) and you don't want greasy fast food or Subway, than this is a totally acceptable destination. It's quick (during non-peak hours), it's filling, and it does have a decent selection. But otherwise, venture out somewhere else. There are a dozen different places to eat just within Market Square itself! Take your sit-down business elsewhere and leave this option for when you're in a time crunch.
