I've been here four or five times since this location opened. It doesn't wow me. The pricing is a bit high. Expect to pay at least $10 with your main dish and drink. Then she'll out extra for a side of bread or side salad. Some of the dishes are really tasty. The Mac n cheese is super yummy. The Japanese pad doesn't have a lot of flavor. The warm ciabatta bread is a good side but extra money. I would have given a 4 star but the place is dirty. When you walk in it smells, the tables are sticky and it takes staff a long time to get them cleaned off. The area where you fill your drinks is gross. Needs a good scrubbing now and should be cleaned daily. Just not a lot to keep me coming back. read more

Noodles and Company - Buff bowl Japanese pad. - Noodles Near Me - Waterloo, Iowa

Over a year later, I still LOVE this location. They haven't disappointed once. In fact, I was in there a couple days ago, and I was running late, but I just needed something to eat. I asked the server if there was a way to rush it, and she went straight to the cooks and asked them to make it a priority. I had my noodles as soon as I sat down at a table, and I was in and out within 10 minutes. Very, very impressed with this location. AS A NOTE: Reading over my prior review, I wanted to say that Noodles & Company DOES offer wheat noodles. You can substitute their Whole Grain Linguini in any of the dishes they offer. It's especially delicious in the Wisconsin Mac and Cheese dish (my fave!). read more

The cashier didn't know what I meant when I said I wanted a cup for water, so we ended up having to buy two fountain sodas. The floors had macaroni on them for the duration of our meal. The tables around us were dirty, the entire time we were there. The walls had dirty spots all over them. And that's not even getting started on the meals and the cost for a meatless pad Thai being over 7 dollars. Ain't happy with this place, won't be recommending it, and sure won't be back. read more

For a franchise what I ordered for the price I ordered was very satisfactory. I got a medium bowl of Indonesian peanut sauté pasta with grilled chicken under $7 and it was delicious. A bit too spicy. Unfortunately the cashier had poor customer service. I mean she did her job, but no greeting, no smiles. This is the reason why this noodles and company is not getting an5 from me. But all else was good, place was clean, and smelled fine. read more

See all

I came here with my girlfriend and it was dead, Her and I were the only ones here and when we sat down all we could hear is three girls working yelling across the grill about how there days are going. On top of that we got are food and it wasn't even the right food. I had to go up and they weren't sure what I was trying to ask. At the end I eventually got my food but it wasn't my best experience. read more

The location on San Marnan Dr. was not a very clean restaurant. The entrance looked like it hadn't been swept since last fall. The area around the drink station was not clean. The pop machine had water up to the place you set your cup and it bubbled up at you and splashed your feet. The tables and wooden dividers had hand prints from kid's dirty hand and dust like it had not been cleaned in forever. The toilet in one restroom was not bolted down and there was urine on the bottom of the stool where the bolt was. The place overall looks like when the night ends the bare minimum is done for closing. Very disappointed in this location. read more

Very disappointing. Meal came with dry noodles and meat, veggies were absent, had to ask for my wine after 20 mins as it never came. No kids Krispy treats, low cal pop all out. The waiting game the whole meal. Can't give the food a good rating as it wasn't complete when I got it. Food 1/2 gone by the time the veggies got to the table they forgot to put in the dish. Music to loud. Servers friendly which helped. A good restaurant makes some kind of comp for such poor service instead paid 100% for 40% food and service. read more

Where is noodles and company's I've ever had. This is one of my favorite places to eat. The noodles were over seasoned And the workers there were just utterly rude. I had a really simple order I ordered two butter noodles. Pretty simple order I couldn't believe how bad it tasted. read more

I'm in love with the Mac N Cheese with Chicken and Shrimp! My carb count just went out the door! The food is great, loaded cheese in the bowl, meat cooked just right, garlic bread was ...eh...ok. Every bite was heaven. Almost cried when I took the last bite.Great place to chill with friends and chat. Didn't know there was an app for this place! I can order and have it ready to go! Mmmmm....mac n cheese.... read more

First time going there. 33 minute wait just to have overpriced, moderately good food. One time and I'll never be back.

I am in love with this place and probably go here 3-4 times a month! My favorite is the Mac N Cheese with steak, and the spaghetti with parmesan chicken. It is super easy to substitute noodles and meat options (for example, spaghetti always comes with meatballs but I switch it out for chicken). Oh, and their Caesar salad dressing is amazing! Noodles and Co now has a smart phone app that allows you to order from your phone (including paying) and then the food is ready when you get there. It is great! FYI, the parking lot is super awkward and cramped. read more

Sat there in front on them for 25 minutes after placing a Togo order and they couldn't get it right. Ridiculous

My previous job was only 5 minutes away so I loved the convenience of ordering through the app and picking up the Wisconsin mac with meatballs every other week on my way home. This meal has been a long time favorite "fast food" for me and is typically really tasty and the staff friendly and helpful. Today my sister and I both ordered the usual Mac with meatballs and when it arrived at the table none of the shredded cheese was melted and the meatballs were cold. I wanted to ask if they could just reheat our bowls and there was only one family seated eating dinner inside so it was not busy but I stood at the front for 5 minutes waiting for one of the 4 employees we saw earlier to come up and they never did. I gave up and ate about 1/3 of the bowl before deciding to just leave. About an hour afterwards we both had upset stomachs and started feeling sick. Unfortunately I'll be keeping my distance from this Noodles and Company location for a while. read more

Website says they close at 10 pm. They started closing at 9 pm last Sept but have not bothered to change their website.

I enjoy noodles but rated this location low due to its cleanliness, soda machine smelled like it hadnt been cleaned, tables sticky and food on the floor. It makes you wonder if the public areas are dirty the areas behiend the scenes cant be much better. read more

Great place for a quick lunch, the steak stroganoff as well as the Mac and cheese are very tasty. Service is also very quick.

Slow service, if they're busy, but a great spicy Thai soup.

Not bad, had Pad Thai and Japanese pan noodles. Don't get their cookies though.

This was a welcome addition to the Waterloo/CF area. I had never been to a Noodles and Co. before in the past but the dishes they offer for the money are exceptional. The dishes that I have had are the beef stroganoff, chili pepper penne w/ chicken parmesan. These both were excellent combined with there caesar salad and pita bread. I'm hard pressed to find a better quality lunch option for the price. The only downfall is definitely the service, every time I visited the place was almost completely empty with employees gathered in there kitchen although rarely did I witness employees cleaning the tables for guests coming in. read more

Came here with my in-laws, and it was okay. The food has some spice and flavor, but nothing overwhelming. I got the Pad Thai, and while it wasn't what you would get in a Thai place, it was decent for a chain that doesn't specialize in Thai. Also got the potstickers, which were not good at all. I have found way better potstickers at Chinese buffets. This place is overpriced. Flat out it cost too much to eat here. $2.59 to add 8 chunks of chicken to a $5.79 bowl of noodles is ridiculous. Would probably not eat here again, but it was an okay experience. Nothing fancy, nothing bad. Just overpriced okay. read more

Excellent service and tasty food! Loved it! We encountered 5 staff persons, one which was Randy the Manager and they were ALL excellent! They really made us feel like we were welcome and wanted us to be happy. My entire family from my 7 year old son to my 21 year old son loved the food. read more

I ordered the asparagus di parma..... sign says 7.99 with parm chicken.... got it to go.. no chicken....not happy. otherwise good flavor...asparagus a little tough read more

My family and i will never be back. I got the alfredo MontAmore and it was horrible. The chicken tasted salty and freezer burnt, there was barely any sauce and it tasted like it sat under a heat lamp for 6 hours. My son got the kids mac and cheese and all it was was old noodles with shredded cheese on top. The women's bathroom toilet looked like it hadn't been cleaned in over a month! Just horrible! read more
