Noodles & Company is a fast-casual chain serving noodle bowls, pasta, mac & cheese, salads, soups and desserts for dine-in, pickup and delivery.
Joining Noodles Rewards matters most, because a free regular entree follows a $10+ purchase within 30 days of signing up, and rewards go on the cart screen before checkout.
Noodles & Company has been cooking noodle dishes for 30 years and describes itself as the one restaurant focused solely on noodles. The menu runs from Japanese Pan Noodles and Rigatoni Rosa to Creamy Cheddar Mac & Cheese and the Med Salad, and a recent ramen lineup added Sesame Steak, Gochujang Carbonara and Spicy Korean Steak versions. A nutrition calculator helps diners adjust dishes for gluten-sensitive, vegetarian or calorie-conscious eating.
Under its Goodness Guarantee, a dish that misses the mark is replaced. The chain also offers catering and a Mac Bar, holds Fundraiser Nights that send 20% of qualifying sales to a nonprofit, and publishes its approach to animal welfare. The company lists Forbes' 2024 Best Employers for Diversity among its awards.

From Noodles & Company's own pages, read Oct 21, 2026.
Noodles & Company applies rewards and offers on the cart screen, before you reach checkout, so look there rather than on the payment step.
Order ahead through the Noodles Rewards app or website, which every location accepts.
Only one reward goes on each transaction, and it won't combine with other offers or discounts.
If you hold both the free entree and the 10% push-notification offer, split them across two orders instead of trying to use both at once.
Pick your location before you build the order, because menu prices change from one restaurant to the next.
