tossed in a creamy cheddar and jack cheese sauce, topped with
parmesan-crusted chicken, buffalo sauce, green onions, crispy
onions and a drizzle of ranch.

tossed in a creamy garlic cheddar sauce, with bacon and white
cheddar, topped with bacon, crispy onions, parmesan cheese, and
fresh herbs.

pork, tangy BBQ sauce, green onions, and crispy onions.
"Our new specialty Mac & Cheese menu marks an exciting step
forward for Noodles & Company as we continue to elevate our
offerings, including the cornerstone of our menu—Mac & Cheese,"
said Scott Davis, chief concept
officer at Noodles & Company. "As our best-selling dish, Mac
& Cheese holds a special place with our guests, and this launch
underscores our dedication to delivering bold flavors and
reimagined classics. We're confident that loyal fans and new guests
