    Nasty dirty drink machine.

    The food was really super greasy. Didn't taste horrible but it was not great either. The soda machine was really dirty and nasty. Service was ok. Would not return.

    I have always wanted to try Noodles & Company, but my boyfriend and I really were not impressed with our experience here. I'm giving this place 2 stars only because the food was good. I got the Wisconsin Mac N Cheese, and it was really delicious. My boyfriend enjoyed his meal as well. The salad we ordered was just okay though, nothing too great and we wouldn't order it again. As for the rest of the experience, it was awful. We waited 30 minutes to get just two bowls of noodles and a small salad. For a fast casual restaurant, this place is not fast at all. In addition, the customer service was horrendous. The staff members working were not knowledgeable regarding products or promotions and seemed to not care at all about helping the customers. We had a coupon for downloading the Noodles & Company app and signing up for the membership program. The coupon was for a free Rice Krispy Treat with a purchase, and the guy taking our order said he didn't know how to enter the coupon. He didn't bother to ask a member of management for help and even shrugged his shoulders and laughed saying "oh well". This was totally unacceptable. Overall, the noodles were good, and I would maybe go back for those. However, I am definitely not planning on going back to this location. I would consider giving the company another try at a different location.

    *brace yourself for gushy "OMG These guys saved my butt!" review* Ok - I've gotta take a minute to brag on the Noodles Co Frederick (West View) location. Call it user error or computer illiteracy, but when I went to place a massive order for a class of 30+ people 1 day ahead of schedule, I changed the date / time to "tomorrow" but forgot to hit "save" (yes - I can hear the web developer pulling out his hair right now). I noticed my mistake 10 minutes late and frantically called Noodles hoping that they had a lazy shift on duty who didn't start making the order. Too late - in 10 minutes, these cats had completely made everything to spec - a day ahead of schedule due to my internet fubarb. "Throw it in the fridge!" I said - frankly, it was my fault and I deserved nothing more than picking up the food a day later. "Maybe we can microwave it? Either way, I'm sorry." The woman on the phone hesitantly said ok. Not more than another 10 minutes pass when my phone rings again "Hello?" "Yes - Hello, this is Noodles n Company in Frederick. We appreciate your saying to store the food in the fridge overnight, but our quality is more important and we'd be completely fine with remaking everything for you tomorrow." Holy. Customer. Service. And a good thing to - I had to almost double my order the next day anyways. I showed up (early - because I'm annoying like that) the next day and asked to see my receipt so that I could add a generous tip (and pay for the mistake I'd made - because I can't computer). "Hello, I'm the manager, but we don't accept tips here - our staff is very well taken care of, but we'd appreciate a kind word to our corporate office." What?! Not only did these jokers remake every single order so that it could be as fresh as a baby's bum but now I can't even tip them!? What customer service sorcery is this!!? 5 stars and 2 thumbs way way up for these guys. On point, super nice, and delicious food. You guys got good thing going in Frederick!

    Penne Rosa (regular size) it's supposed to be spicy, too bad it wasn't :/ although it had some flavor to it
    Lisamarie H.

    What's up with their chewy noodles? The noodles had a rubber like consistency to it. I had the Penne Rosa, it's supposed to be spicy, it's not. I wish their was more sauce with the noodles to give me something to taste while I chew on the rubber... I would go back to try another dish, like a salad or soup (cause you really can't mess that up). You do get a "bang for your buck" if you stick to a regular sized portion of noodles though, but the soup? Eh... $5 for a cup of soup sounds/looked like a rip off.

    Dishes: 3stars...the japanese pan noodle was too dry. Pad thai was too sweet. Spaghetti w meatball was nothing better than what I can make at home. Customer service: 5stars!! Excellent service!!

    Side Green Salad
    Shenia J.

    This was my first time here. The staff members were very friendly. They took their time to explain the menu items and the ordering process to me. They do things in a manner similar to Boston Market. At any rate, I liked the fact that the menu was low calorie vegetarian and you could add meat or tofu as an option. I really like that you could further reduce your calories by ordering the small portion and still be full. There were about 12 pasta options, 5 sandwich options, 4 salad options and 3 soup options as main courses. You could also add a side salad or soup to a main dish for about a dollar. I appreciate that the side salad actually contained lettuce with nutritional value. The only bad thing is that it is located along the walk way to the Regal Cinemas. That generally means that parking will be a hassle and maybe larger crowds during peak time on the weekends.

    Beef Stroganoff with a side salad! Everything came out perfect

    Food came out quickly and was delicious. Service was e cement and the staff had excellent knowledge of the menu

    This is what you get for $2.59?! Sad little salad

The ingredients are fresh, the service is friendly and gregarious, the food is delicious and exceptional. I have enjoyed several different dishes on multiple occasions now and can say without question that this food is exceptional and rare outside Italy. Everything in this space is authentic, from the relatively short menu to the service it is a treat to have such an excellent meal for what amounts to a very good price. No question, in Frederick this is consistently the best Italian food served with care and pleasure. I have not had a single issue with anything over perhaps 6 dining experiences here. It is an absolute pleasure to enjoy a lovey glass of wine with the outstanding pasta dishes! If Fredrick needs anything, it is more small and outstanding restaurants like this where quality and value are in harmony.

    I found pappardelle at Dal Grano's once and that says all you need to know. Papardelle are wide,…read moresoft, flat pasta noodles that I first had in Rome decades ago. Growing up Italian stateside, I never knew about this light, wavy pasta dish. So pappardelle pasta is like some rare delicacy and I love it. This pasta dish is not easy to find unless it has been popularized in the Italian dining scene, recently. How can I explain this pasta? Papardelle are not thick like butter noodles, but instead they are thin yet wide. And at Dal Grano's, they must be experienced to be savoured. Do call ahead, because they might just have them made. Dal Grano's is a neighborhood place. We love how when you are dining, they actually talk to you and are friendly. There are a few other places around Mclean proper which I wish were more overtly warm and hospitable, in this way. All of Dal Grano's pasta is homemade and delicious. It's definitely great for carryout pasta or a diner-style environment with a homemade pasta lunch or dinner. I don't think they deliver or work with any of the delivery services. You just call and pickup. The butternut squash ravioli is tender and flavorful. We have probably have gotten different versions of their ravioli every time. Outside of the papardelle, I'm all in for their rich squid ink pasta when it's made. I don't go there enough to know if it's always available. They have over 50 homemade pasta combinations to choose from and a big freezer case of food to take home. My biggest issue with Dal Grano's is when I see all of the pastas in the serving bowls presented to order and cook, I want to buy them all at once. I know it sounds tacky, but they make me yearn for a pasta buffet there just so that I can taste all of the variations. Alas, if we were in town more we'd just need to go more often to taste all of their selection. There's only one other restaurant that does Italian this well and it's around 15 minutes away in Falls Church. But even that fabulous Italian restaurant does not compare with the amount and selection of homemade pastas at Dal Grano's.
