Excellent! Edward the cashier explained the process for safe food prep and personally cooked our food. I was told they are VERY versed with CD and have many come in throughout the day who are GF. Food was perfect, no issues!

I have been to noodles and Company several times, and have always had excellent experiences there! This is the only location I have been to since being diagnosed with celiac, but they have been wonderful every time. They change the water in our very clear and letting me know what is safe and what is not, including shared surfaces. Every dish I have ever had there is amazing, and while I wish more of their meat options were safe from cross contamination, I am never unsatisfied with what I am able to have. I attempted to order chicken on my dish last time, and was promptly and kindly notified by the staff that the chicken is on a shared service as gluten containing ingredients. I can’t say enough about how kind and courteous their staff are, not at all put off by the idea of accommodating a gluten-free order. I will definitely be a continued customer!

How careful they are about your gluten free order really depends on how busy they are when you come in. If it's empty they are great and super careful, but if there are even a few other customers you might get sick. Their gluten free dishes are pretty good though!

Great restaurant! Online it appears the only GF option is Pad Thai. But they can make several other dishes with the rice noodles, making them GF. If you ask in the restaurant, they will give you this list. They put the allergen alert on your order ticket and use a fresh wok for my food without me asking. Everyone takes it very seriously.

I was very excited to eat the gluten free Mac & cheese. We called to make sure ahead of time that everything would be cooked separately, and told them i had celiac. When I went to order in person I told them the same thing, and still ended up extremely sick sadly

Pad Thai is a good choice for gluten avoiders. They make gluten free noodles but I’m not sure about cross contamination. Many of the sauces have gluten, including the Mac and cheese sauce. Employee was knowledgeable and helpful. This is a good choice for a quick stir fry.

They have separate cookware they use for allergies and take cross contact very seriously. I have always been happy with the attention they take with my order when I mention gluten allergy.

The staff is really friendly and open to answer questions about their menu. The guy at the register even went to confirm the Alfredo sauce didn't have gluten for me.
