Disclosure: I was invited to have a complimentary meal and share my review. All opinions are my own.

Noodles and Company is opening a new location at The Gallery at Westbury Plaza. It’s a new outdoor mall that is being built up.

Noodles & Company offers the world’s favorite noodle dishes, sandwiches, salads and soups, all in one restaurant. Each dish is carefully hand made to our guests’ specifications, using only the freshest ingredients. It’s individually sautéed or prepared, placed on our signature stoneware and served tableside with stainless steel flatware. All for around $8 a dish. There’s never any tipping at Noodles.

We have never been to Noodles and Company so we didn’t know what to expect. It’s not like a sit and wait on restaurant. You stand in line, order your food and pay. When your food is ready they will bring it out to you.  You fill your own drinks and they even have the to go boxes available by the soda fountains.   No need to wait for your waiter to come around for anything!

There is a variety of food, but it’s mostly pasta dishes. They also cater to people with allergies and the health conscious.   There menu has a special section with vegan and vegetarian dishes.

We were able to preview the restaurant before it opened. We got off to a rocky start as the restaurant was over-booked for the preview. But we got it all sorted out and people took the food to go while others stayed.

We ordered some of the best dishes available.

Penne Rosa

Spicy tomato cream sauce, penne pasta, mushrooms, tomato, spinach and wine, parmesan or Feta.  $5.89

Add Parmesan crusted chicken. $2.69

Wisconsin Mac and Cheese

A classic blend of cheddar and jack cheeses, cream, elbow macaroni $5.89

Spaghetti and Meatballs

Five meatballs on spaghetti, crushed tomato marinara and parmesan. SM. $7.19 Reg. $8.59

BBQ Pork sandwich:

Fresh ciabatta roll loaded with slow braised pork, colorful and barbecue drizzle. $7.49

The food was very very delicious.  My daughter who received the Spaghetti and meatballs had noticed a macaroni noodle in her spaghetti. She said the funniest thing that had my table and the table next to us laughing. She said ” They need to get their noodles right”, it was a hilarious joke.   She still ate the macaroni noodles though. All the food was so good, it was the first time in a long time that my kids ate all their food at the restaurant.

I would definitely say that this restaurant is family friendly and very affordable. I could feed my family of 5 for under $50.

Noodles and Company has their grand opening July 31, 2013 at 11 A.M.
