Noodles and Company — Restaurant in Davenport

I used to eat at this particular Noodles and Company frequently when I was employed nearby in 2010-2011ish. I'd get off for lunch and a few of us would drive up here for a meal. I was always partial to the Pesto Cavatappi with either shrimp or parmesan chicken. After some time spent shopping around Utica and 53rd Street today, I decided to stop in for a late lunch and revisit those lunch breaks of yore.

The general layout of the store hasn't changed much since I used to frequent the place. You still enter and immediately wait in line to the right. The menu has changed a bit over the years, but the changes are all in step with what the rest of the chain has been doing.

The general appearance and decor of the inside does appear to have changed a bit. Most of the walls are colored light grey or green, which is in sharp contrast to the dark bluish-grey of the overhead. Speaking of the ceiling area, there is no drop ceiling, which leaves the HVAC ductwork, supporting wood, and conduit visible. Lighting is primarily from suspended fixtures, either single lights or within accent strips. In the dining area, there are a series of wood panels suspended at angles decoratively, which complement the wooden tables and booths well.

Flooring is primarily of two types. Dark grey one foot square ceramic tile is located in the ordering and kitchen areas, while dark colored panel carpet runs most of the dining room. This adequately contrasts the lightly colored walls and further compliments the darker colored overhead plenum. In summary, I like the overall look of this Noodles and Company.

I mostly still like the food, too. I got the Pesto Cavatappi with shrimp for my lunch today. In short, it was all right. Definitely in step with the quality expected from Noodles and Company over the years. I would probably, however, personally only get the Japanese Udon Noodles in the future. The Cavatappi is just a little bland to me at this point, but I would blame this place for that. Probably just evolving tastes? I don't know.

If you want a quick bowl of noodles and are around the 53rd Street and Elmore Avenue area in Davenport, I'd recommend you give Noodles and Company a try. They're a fixture in this area at this point and I still enjoy them. The people here are friendly and they put out a consistent quality product....

This place has a lot more, and yummier options than what one would figure they have! I have been pleasantly surprised every one of the 4 times we've been here! 👌🏽🤩😋 During this visit I got the Lemon Shrimp Scampi and pasta dish, my husband got the crispy chicken alfrdeo dish and we shared a "Shareable" order of Garlic Cheese Toast. Yummy! We both were filled up and enjoyed what we ate and our time here. The cashier girl this evening seemed to be out of sorts or new, maybe (?), as she kept not listening well and getting wrong almost everything we told her and so had to keep having rhe manager come and do over rides to fix her mistakes. At least 3 Times this happened or I wouldn't be saying anything here about it at all because, mistakes, humans, yea... but she was excessive with the not listening.. just disheveled kind of and kind of rude with her talking over us which caused her to keep missing what we were saying as well.. but anywho! Lol. The manager was a cool dude that was humbly apologetic and even came to serve us our food at the table and apologize again, which was n fabulous sevice from him! So we definitely still, fully enjoyed our time there and had fun just eating and chilling as we always do as we love cracking each other up wherever we go!...

New Review: They responded to me quick and kindly about an order I was unhappy with. They provided a refund and explained the reasoning behind why they did it. Some dishes come with a smaller size even if you chose the largest size due to how much it costs them to make. I would personally suggest them to increase the prices of said dishes so it fits the other sizes equally with amount and price.

Other than that, the food is fantastic. There are tons of choices that you can modify such as what types of proteins you would like. Additionally, there are vegetarian options including salads or a vegetable orientated noodle meal. Overall, I’m happy with the service because of the response time and quality...
