Noodles and Company

I used to love this place but have eaten at two different locations in the greater Columbus area and the quality has really suffered. I predict this whole chain will be gone within the next 5 years. My dish was missing 3 key ingredients, making this an incredibly bland and yet oddly expensive dish. But definitely gluten free. The staff at both locations was very friendly - they are hiring well for customer facing but not for quality control. Will not be eating at any of the locations ever again. And that is saying something because I once wrote their HQ and begged them to open a location in my town:(

They told me the option I ordered had trace amounts of gluten in it after I bought it and it was made. But at least they told me. I gave the meal to a friend. Previous times (different meals) had been fine, but as a celiac I just can't risk it and probably won't be back.

Celiac friendly?

No

I ordered gluten free spaghetti and meatballs, which but subbed the meat balls for grilled chicken since the meatballs are not gf. I get home with my to go meal and there were meat balls on my dish, obviously wasn't very happy, but the store kindly refunded me!

There Gluten free pasta is the BEST! I have tried many many many gluten free pasta and all have tasted funky and not good. But the noddles and company noodles are the BEST! I didn't even know they were gluten free until my mom told me! I definitely recommend it!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Loved the Chicken Pad Thai!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Liked it

Amazing. I wanted to hey something that I never get here, but what can i say, I had to get the same thing i always do; Pad Thai. Everything here is amazing always. This is my first time at this location, and it was a pretty enjoyable experience, as long as you don't have to use the restroom! U was kind of worried because most Noodles I go, to they usually get like 1 or 2 non gf nodlws mixed in with the gf ones but there were nine this time!

Made exactly as ordered. Yummy and soothing. I have food allergies as well as celiac. They accommodated it all, and I had no reactions.

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.
