Noodles & Company is a welcome place for a reasonably healthy meal. All of their dishes have some sort of pasta or noodle, some Asian, some Italian, and some American like the Wisconsin mac & cheese and the chicken noodle soup.
You can get extra chicken or shrimp on any dish you want, which I usually do to offset the carbs a bit. I like their Italian dishes best; the Asian ones kind of all have an overly sharp spiciness.
You order up front, then take a number back to your table and wait for them to bring your dishes to you, which is a nice way to do it. Drinks are self serve so you can sip away while you wait.
