Review of Noodles and Company

Overall Rating

Review


I am newly diagnosed and still unsure of myself. When I told the order taker I had “a severe gluten allergy”, she called the manager out. When I asked about cross contamination, he said that they have procedures in place and yet “it is very noodly in here.” I appreciated his honesty.

He told me he would personally make my meal. He changed his gloves and showed me that he was thoroughly washing the pans he used for my meal. He brought it out to me personally and it was marked gluten free.

I don’t have obvious symptoms when glutened, so all I can say is I felt safe enough to eat and enjoy.
