Noodles and Company

Started asking questions about their use of gluten free pasta. Was told rice noodles are cooked in separate water. Then they pulled their allergy sheet to tell me what meals have gluten free sauce. Then discovered they have an allergy button attached to my order to take precautions. Was so excited to try, but my Nima test showed too much gluten for me to eat.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Felt extremely safe ordering gf noodles from this location. They prepare all of their gf noodles (zoodles, gf pipette, or rice noodles) in a separate prep area. They can make most dishes gf and label everything with gluten allergy. Highly recommend!!

It seems crazy to have a good GF experience at a noodle place but I did! Not once but three straight days. They have an allergy menu plus GF noodles. They can’t guarantee no cross-contamination but they did prepare my food in a separate area. The Pad Thai is GF and dairy free. Big bonus points from me.

You have the option of GF pasta or zoodles with most dishes. Tasty entrees on which you can add proteins if not already included, reasonably priced, portion size is good.

I felt safe enough, and I didn’t get sick. The Caesar salad is yummy. The Mac and Cheese wasn’t cheesy enough the first time, so I ordered extra cheese and it was delish! The next time I ordered the Pad Thai and the noodles were sooooo dry. Barely any sauce again, but it tasted yummy. I should have known. I don’t know if I will be back, but if I do, I will have to be prepared to buy extra sauce for every dish.

I guess I know why Noodles & Co isn’t really on here… I love that they offer GF noodles and zoodles. But they might as well not offer anything… There was 2 regular noodles in my zoodle dish and a regular noodle in my hubby’s cauliflower gnocchi. Not sure if they cook everything together or drain in the same colander but they obviously don’t take any care with gluten free and cross contamination is high!
