Noodles and Company

The staff was very friendly and helpful, and any dish can be made with gluten free pasta. They take precautions to make sure there's no cross-contamination. And now, the macaroni and cheese can be made totally gluten-free with the fusilli pasta, much to my daughters delight.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The only item I trust is the Pad Thai because the entire entree is listed as gluten free. Substituting gluten free noodles in different entrees may not have gluten free sauces. Also some meat options that you can add may not be gluten free (an employee told me this, so I avoid meat as well) But I absolutely love the Pad Thai and visit often.

Try the gluten free pasta with many dishes.

I used to work at Noodles and they do not avoid cross-contamination well. Unless you make a huge deal out of your allergy they will treat it normally and even then C.C. may have already taken place in the coolers, sauces, and kitchen appliances. They try their best but it's still a noodle place.

Great meal! Many GF options from GF noodles, zucchini noodles and cauliflower gnocchi. The gnocchi was fantastic! My daughter loved her Penne Rosa dish with GF noodles and grilled chicken. Will definitely be back!!!

I've had hit or miss experiences at noodles & company. My most recent experience is honestly was more so myself to blame. I ordered gluten-free rice noodles and assumed that they were the correct noodles before eating them turns out I have never seen that shape of noodle before in a gluten-free form and I should have gone with my gut instinct instead my gut repaid me back the next few days as I was severely sick. If you do go to a noodles and company please be sure to reiterate that you need gluten-free noodles and that they need to make sure to not cross contaminate.

their menu shows gluten free items, also online you can use a menu selector that shows you what/how to order to be gluten-free.

my mom picked up food for me while she was in the area. I got the chicken veracruz salad (no crispy jalapeno, unfortunately - they're gluten!) and cross contamination definitely exists -- I found a crouton and a noodle in my salad.

idk if she informed them of the gluten sensitivity or not. idk if it would make a difference. so just be cautious
