I was shopping at the Concord Mall and realized I was hungry. Wanting to try something new, I decided to check out Noodles and Company. Noodles and Company opened in  1995 with a very simple idea. They said that they would serve fresh fast food. At the time, this was unheard of. They offer a variety of dishes depending on what the customer wants. Noodles and Company has won many awards. According to the Noodles and Company website, they were named One of the Top Ten Best Loved Brands in 2012.

    This being my very first time at Noodles and Company, I was pleased with the experience. As I walked in and saw a long line, I was disappointed. I assumed I would be waiting for my food for awhile. I was surprised to find that I was helped quickly and was sitting down with my meal within ten minutes. The employees not only served my meal efficiently, but they did it with a smile. They handed me my meal and asked me if I needed anything before leaving me to finish my meal. I had ordered a simple butter noodles and garlic bread. The meal was delicious! I found myself completely full due to the generous portions. The meal was great, but the price was even better. For buttered noodles, garlic bread, and a drink, the price was under ten dollars! I was amazed. After my meal, I asked a fellow customer about her meal. She told me, “It was amazing! I will most definitely come back here!” The happiness of Noodle and Company’s customers proves that it is a restaurant worth trying.

     If you are looking for a fast, affordable, and delicious meal, I would definitely recommend Noodles and Company. With a hectic schedule and a low budget, it is the perfect place to find a nice meal. I will definitely be going back to Noodles and Company in the near future!
