Noodles & Company, the fast-casual chain famous for delivering Uncommon Goodness, is introducing a bold new lineup of specialty Mac & Cheese dishes. This addition brings fresh, elevated flavors and made-to-order perfection to Noodles’ craveable menu, available in select markets, including Colorado, Ohio, and Illinois.
A Bold, New Culinary Approach
Noodles & Company’s Wisconsin Mac & Cheese has been the best-selling item on the menu for nearly 30 years, with over 10 million bowls sold in 2023 alone. Building on the popularity of this fan-favorite dish, the new specialty mac offerings reflect Noodles’ ongoing commitment to innovation by introducing more ways for guests to enjoy it. To bring this vision to life, Noodles & Company partnered with The Culinary Edge to develop bold and unique ingredients that enhance the dining experience. The new specialty Mac & Cheese menu features:
- Buffalo Chicken Ranch Mac & Cheese – Elbow noodles 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.
- Garlic Bacon Crunch Mac & Cheese – Elbow noodles tossed in a creamy garlic cheddar sauce, with bacon and white cheddar, topped with bacon, crispy onions, parmesan cheese, and fresh herbs.
- Pulled Pork BBQ Mac & Cheese – Elbow noodles tossed in a creamy cheddar and jack cheese sauce, topped with smoky pulled 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 will find something they love, and we’re excited to introduce even more delicious dishes soon.”
