Gluten Free at Noodles and Company

I have eaten here many times and have had no bad reactions. Great place with lots of options. 2 choices of noodles and you can make it any way you like.

I usually like eating at Noodles and Company, but this time they got it all wrong. I ordered the spicy Korean beef gluten-free with rice noodle and my husband, who is not GF, ordered the mac and cheese with pulled pork and no jalapeños or veggies. When they brought us our food, mine had the wrong kind of pasta so they took it pack and prepared it again. They brought my meal back out with the rice noodles and half way through I found a wheat noodle. My husband, who had been picking mushrooms out of his food, took my plate back and balled them out. My husband then came back an said they looked totally clueless. The young man who had taken our older said that the Korean beef was not gluten free even. When we said the menu said it was and that I had asked for it that way with rice noodles he said the sauce was not. However, he did try to make things right and offer me anything I wanted off the gluten free menu. On our way out, we looked at the menu we had seen and the Korean beef had a GF next to it indicating it could be made gluten free.

Very knowledgeable and accommodating. Lots of options. Eat here regularly without issues.

Pad Thai was great. Knowledgeable staff.

I had the tomato basil bisque -celiac friendly- it’s really thick, but delicious!

Always been good. Have yet to have an issue. I usually get the rice noodles.

I like that they have some gf options, but I found a regular macaroni noodle mixed in with my pad Thai. I don’t think there cross contamination methods are very sound at this location

We dine here all the time because this was one of the few restaurants that my daughter with celiac could safely dine at. Boy were we wrong! As she got to the bottom of her GF macaroni & cheese, she noted that the pasta was no longer the corkscrew (fazzoli) but also had macaroni noodles. Clearly, this was cross-contaminated and not all precautions were taken whether it was the water, colander, etc. i spoke with manager on and he did not comprehend the seriousness of the matter. Clearly retraining needs to occur and I will follow-up with the general manager in the morning to educate but as for now, they have lost my confidence & trust. We will no longer be dining here. If I could give them zero stars, I would!

I have gotten sick the last three times I have ate there. :(

2019 update - three years later and still one of our go to places. My daughter loves their Mac and Cheese! The staff are always careful, never a bad experience. Always GF. It's one of our go to places for my daughter who has celiac. Never a bad experience and always careful.

Just be careful don't trust automatically what they give you is gluten free, they put the bread crumbs on the Mac n cheese when I got it once. Otherwise great careful about cooking stuff separately I always feel like they take me seriously

Got sick and small portion sizes.

I’ve loved their Pad Thai for years before I eliminated gluten from my diet. The Pad Thai is GF without modification, which is perfect! You can also replace the pasta with zoodles (zucchini noodles).

I’m a celiac and they have messed up my order multiples times, they don’t know what’s gluten free and what’s not, and are terrible with cross contamination. I’ve gotten sick so many times there that I’m not going there again.

They have Zoodles and a very tasty Romesco sauce (looks like marinara but is made with almonds). Just be sure to ask them to drain well if asking for cheese sauce and cook longer if you like them soft. Accommodating staff so far!

A few years ago, we didn’t feel they were diligent with cross contamination. However, they’ve come a long way with GF recently. My son, a celiac, has started going there again. He really enjoys the Mac & Cheese and many other items on the menu.

Staff is knowledgeable and most dishes can be ordered gluten free. Celiac and never gotten sick

Found regular noodle in my daughter’s order. See photo

I frequent Noodles because of their gluten free options! They are very aware of allergens and I have never had a reaction. It's one of my favorite places to eat. They have 3 gluten free noodle options.

They have a gf menu and gf soy sauce, although the gf menu is a bit limited. Waiters are friendly and knowledgeable and it is a lively atmosphere. I really enjoyed my panang noodles!

My daughter is Celiac and very sensitive. Before ordering we spoke to the manager to ask our GF options and how things were prepared to avoid cross contamination. I was very pleased with the precaution taken when preparing her meal. They got fresh gloves and there is a special pasta station that is strictly for the gluten free noodles as well as the water it's heated in. She ordered the Mac-n- cheese with the GF fusilli noodles. They served it to her on a separate tray from all of the other dishes our family ordered. She said it was excellent and felt great after eating. She had leftovers and was fine the next day as well. We've eaten here 3 times so far with no issues or changes in the precaution taken. We are very pleased with this restaurant and would recommend.

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!

Too bad there’s not an option for 0 stars because these people have no idea

Locations vary and they change over time. This location has previously been great where they would bake the chicken to avoid cross contamination. Recently they told me no. They also brought my celiac daughter regular pasta and when she noticed they asked "what's the big deal". So..sometimes it's great but sometimes it's the last place you want to go. Keep it simple if you go and don't be afraid to ask them questions. Be sure to ask for a water change before they cook your GF pasta...but you might get an eyeroll.

If you have Celiac Disease you CAN NOT eat any dish and just replace the noodles with GF noodles. A lot of the dishes have soy sauce and other gluten containing ingredients. There is always a risk of cross contamination even with their stated GF dishes. I eat here on occasion and I have had a reaction but haven’t gotten full blown sick. Eat at your own risk! Check their website to see the GF dishes before ordering anything and just replacing the noodles. Also the meats are GF but the marinade and the grill is not.

A small amount of food for $9, and it didn't taste very fresh or good. It really tasted like a frozen meal heated up in a microwave. I won't be going back.

My son has celiac. The manager showed us the separate pans and cooking area for gluten-free. We took it to go. My son found a stray gluten noodle in his bowl. Won’t go back!

Sadly I can not eat here, I get glutened everytime. :(

Wisconsin Mac & Cheeze is gluten free. Make sure to tell them about your allergy and tell them to use rice noodles. They have a gluten free menu online.

They were accommodating, but there is still a limited menu. I heard them say GF and they need to sanitize everything before cooking. Still would be skeptical with celiac.

Really not careful at all. They are known for their careless handling of gluten free things. I’ve been really sick after eating there.

Celiac here, they seemed very knowledgeable about celiac options but upon eating at home there was definite cross contamination. I noticed about halfway through my dish, I started to notice different types of noodles mixed in. Needless to say it made me very very sick and I went be back.

I love their noddles! I been on the store multiple times never had get sick.

I specified I couldn’t have gluten or diary. They told me my meal would take an extra 10 mins because they were washing all the utensils and pans that would be used to make my meal. Food was good!

Found two glutinous noodles in my “gf” pasta. I ordered it gf with an allergy. They fully refunded me, but still got sick.

I’ve gotten sick here every time I’ve tried it.

I'm a very sensitive Celiac and I had no problems eating here. The staff was knowledgeable, took care of everything being prepared separately on clean equipment. I didn't get sick, and it tasted pretty good!

Love this place. I ate here so much I burned myself out on it, lol. They were knowledgeable and courteous.

They offer gluten free options but there’s a high risk of cross contamination and I’ve gotten sick after eating there in the past. I don’t think they understand they need separate pots to cook the noodles in and separate strainers. The last time I ended up with 2 random noodles in my bowl so I’m not confident they understand

Noodles offers gluten free noodles but they don’t offer dedicated separation.... we got rice noodles and specifically told the manager it was for gluten allergy.... we found five macaronis in the rice noodles.

Usually the food is good, but last time I went they gave me raw shrimp

Hubby & I have hashimoto's and have to be gluten & dairy free. Gabby was SUPER helpful in figuring out what we could eat. She spent a considerable amount of time with us and didn't make us feel like a bother. The food was really good; hubby said to mention that their iced tea was delicious too. Ordered Thai Noodle w/ Shrimp, Penne Rosa w/ gf pasta, no milk or cheese.

I told the cashier that I was gluten free and she called the manager over and they put my allergy into the system to alert all the chefs to change gloves and other utensils. I ordered the pad Thai (naturally gf) and it was delicious and I had no issues whatsoever. A great place that is safe near campus!!

The staff were very patient and friendly as I tried to find options. They also had a good menu showing the allergy options when I said I needed allergen free options. It was nice to have people not be annoyed about me needing help!

They are careful to ensure your meal is GF.

Have choice of fusilli noodles, rice noodles, or zucchini noodles. Fusilli noodles are very good, had them in place of penne in Penne Rosa. Employees ask if allergy or preference when ordering gluten free and follow stricter procedures if allergy.

I almost always find a regular noodle in with my GF noodles 😫

I always get the gluten free rice noodles in chicken Alfredo with grilled chicken instead of Parmesan. I feel sick every time.

Sub most dishes with fusilli noodles and I have never had an issue!

Have been multiple times and never gotten sick. The fusilli noodles are really good, and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable.
