Noodles and Company

This location is a MESS. You will wait 30 minutes for food and it won’t even be what you ordered. The employees don’t wear gloves and prepare food after dealing with money and touching around. Seriously these workers are like chickens with their heads cut off. I feel bad because they clearly haven’t been trained and no one is there to help them. I have tried going multiple times to this location and it’s always the same.

We ordered the tomato soup and spent $6.50 for half a cup of canned tomato puree instead. They genuinely served us half a can of tomato paste for $6.50. When we got our order, we were shocked and disappointed by the quality and quantity. Because they gave us so little, we went and asked an employee to confirm that we got the regular instead of the small; they said we did. Later, we overheard them making fun of us for asking—while we were still in the restaurant! I cannot even imagine what their small looks like. They probably dip a spoon into the can, shake it around to let the excess drip off, then give it to you for $5. Not to mention it was so gross we could not even finish it—all 3 bites of it. It is the same thing they give you to dip breadsticks in at other restaurants, except tomato sauce of this quality and quantity comes FREE with breadsticks at any respectable restaurant.

I watched an employee put fresh spinach in someone's dish with her bare hands and then go and touch things beyond the register. And if that's how she operates then who knows if her hands were even clean when she touched the spinach. I'm not one to leave comments like this but, I've worked in food service and even outside a pandemic, that's not clean. My penne Rosa didn't come with spinach on it which I'm kind of thankful for after seeing what I saw but I wasn't consulted about it. And it was very dry with next to nothing in it besides noodles. Very few tomatoes and mushrooms. Man, I should have read the reviewers.
