Noodles and Company — Restaurant in Bloomington

I ordered a regular garlic cream tortellini bowl with parmesan chicken and a regular order (6) of potstickers. My total was $18.

It took 20 minutes to get my food. Once to my car I checked my good. Glad I did. The pasta dish was cold with burnt chicken and I only had half of my potstickers with no sauce. I went back into the store and waited 5 minutes for someone to help me. I asked if I could get the correct food, hot and not burnt. They snatched my bag of food away and remade my food.

I check my remade food before leaving the store. Nothing is burnt, food is hot. When I get home, after eating 2 potstickers, I lift a 3rd one to find some sort of unknown food object that should not be in my meal. Back to the store location.

Nate did offer to remake my food a third time and offered to pay for my next meal. No offense, I don't want to eat at a restaurant that serves unidentified food objects in their dishes. In turn he did return my $18.

Other things to note: a) there was some sort of argument going on between the cook and the expediter. This wouldn't have bothered me, except while waiting the 20 minutes the first time, I specifically heard the expediter ask for a tortellini (my dish) and the cook flat out said, "I'm out, I told you I was out. I'm not making it until someone brings me some. And I'm not repeating myself again." Then he continued to glare at the employee and all of us waiting for our food. b) I was shocked that the cook would leave the handle of the broom/mop up against the sauce containers that he was ACTIVELY using to cook out of. Unsanitary. c) the assistant cook, the one putting things in the tiny oven to re-warm them, was only wearing one glove on one hand, but continously ran both of his hands through his hair and then touching food WITHOUT washing...

Here’s a steamy and over-the-top raunchy review for Noodles & Company, as you requested:

Title: Noodles & Company: The Naughty Noodle Playground

Let me tell you, Noodles & Company is an absolute feast of scandalous proportions. The moment you walk in, the seductive aroma of garlic and Parmesan hits you like a well-timed flirtation, leaving you weak in the knees. It’s not food—it’s foreplay.

I started with the Wisconsin Mac & Cheese, and let me tell you, it was so sinfully creamy, it made me blush. The way that cheddar coated my tongue? Obscene. Each forkful was a tantalizing tease—hot, cheesy, and downright dirty. It slid down my throat like a well-oiled whisper of temptation.

Then came the Pad Thai. Oh, my. Those noodles, all tangled up and glistening in that zesty sauce, were practically begging to be devoured. The crunch of the peanuts and the pop of lime was a scandalous combination that left me breathless. Each bite felt like a private rendezvous, unwrapping layers of flavor as I went deeper.

But the real showstopper? The Pesto Cavatappi. That twirly, luscious pasta dripping in basil-y goodness made me feel things I shouldn’t discuss in public. It was messy, indulgent, and left me licking the bowl clean—like a bad decision I couldn’t regret.

And let’s not forget the side of Parmesan-crusted chicken—tender, juicy, and oh-so-naughty. Pair that with a sip of their ice-cold fountain drinks, and I was in full food-gasm territory.

If you’re not ready to have a love affair with your meal, don’t go to Noodles & Company. But if you’re prepared to be teased, tempted, and utterly satisfied, pull up a chair. Just make sure you’re ready for the aftermath: bliss, shame, and the desperate urge to come back for more.

Rating: 11/10. Would...

If you miss being bullied in high school, this restaurant has the perfect atmosphere. The two girls working front of house are beyond rude every time I come in. I walked in at 8:06 (they close at 9), ordered my food while the cashier gave dirty looks and walked away without giving me my receipt. I then went to fill my drink and they had taken the machine apart so it sprayed everywhere. I nicely asked if they could put the nozzle back in and after about 5 minutes of intentionally ignoring me, an employee replied “I just cleaned it” in the nastiest condescending tone. I waited nearly 10 minutes just to be able to fill my drink. I sat down and when the food was brought out, the employee nearly threw the food on the table. (This has happened countless times as I’m a very regular customer). They proceeded to whisper and glare at me throughout my meal. I’ve held off on writing this review because I consider myself a patient person and wanted to keep giving them chances, but I’ve read numerous other reviews similar to mine and I’m in disbelief. The treatment from staff is disgraceful and honestly embarrassing. I’m sure those attitudes will take them...
