Since I had never been to Noodles & Company before, I didn’t know what to expect.  But everyone—and I mean everyone—loved the food. We were treated to a smorgasbord of Noodles & Company’s seasonal menu, which included:

Margherita Flatbread – Fresh whole leaf basil, Roma tomato, a custom blend of Italian seasonings, feta and Parmesan cheese toasted atop flatbread.

Backyard Barbecue Chicken Salad – Pulled chicken breast tossed in barbecue sauce, fresh-cut corn, Roma tomato and red cabbage over mixed greens with tangy coleslaw dressing.

Asparagus di Parma – Fresh asparagus, white wine butter sauce, mushrooms and tomato tossed with spaghetti noodles. Served with Parmesan-crusted chicken breast and finished with a lemon wedge and a dusting of Parmesan cheese.

Rustic Hummus – Rustic Hummus served with fresh cucumber, red bell pepper, broccoli and pita chips, and topped with a Kalamata olives and fresh lemon wedge.

It’s hard to pick my favorite, but I would have to go with the pizza and barbeque chicken salad. I'm typically not a huge barbeque fan, but this dish was amazing and not too spicy. The hummus was also a big hit with all of the women. The wine—believe it or not, it came from a tap—that deliciously complimented all of the foods. And what meal is complete without dessert? We were able to sample some of all of the restaurants offerings—chocolate cake was my fave—to cap off a great night with some awesome women.

And I can’t wait to come back to Noodles & Company with my family. I know my boys (who are super picky eaters) will love the Margherita Pizza. I might even get them to try something new there!
