Salad Restaurants near Waukee

“The food is so good and they are lightning fast! Def check out their spicy chicken, I think it starts with a “K”?“

“I placed an order for the wrong location & she was able to make it for me instead of driving clear out to Johnston. Very much appreciate the staff at this location. Everyone has always been kind & speaks to every customer as they walk through the door.“

“I usually have great experiences with Noodles & Company but tonight my husband picked up dinner. We live a half hour away or I would have gone back and told them to give me the chicken that I paid for. Frustrating when you pay for something and not get it.“

“Good fast service on 11-5-23. Great food. Molly was very friendly and polite ,also attractive. Will definitely be back“

“Still one of my favorite places to eat in central Iowa. Great service, even when it's busy. I higjly recommend using the app to get on the wait list regardless of your partysize. I've dined at this location for over 20 years and watched staff turnover, remodeling, upgrades and menu changes but yet there is always something delicious to enjoy!“

“We are fully staff. Stop by for a fast and friendly service. See you soon. Thank you Rios General Manager“

“Went with my niece before an appointment. Showed up a little before 9 and Zuella was the cashier. She was very personable and polite. She had a warm feeling about her. We dined in and my niece and I both got the bacon, egg and cheese biscuit. Both sandwiches were fresh and Zuella came out and checked on us. She was very hospitable. Restaurant was clean. What I did appreciate was there was a table of staff all sitting together eating behind us. Whether it was them on break or about to start/ended shift, it was nice to see they were given that time and seemed to be enjoying themselves. Great experience.“

“I have been to this chick fila for most of my life. I have encountered some incredible service. Elliot and Cherry have been wonderful help. I specifically saw workers today helping move tables together for a group of people. The workers are so accommodating, Always smiling, and kind ready to help whenever. It is very clean and kid friendly great for a quick eating spot. drive through line moves at an incredibly efficient pace. Overall great place.“

“It was ok. Nothing special.“

“Tony and the staff are top notch, they are friendly and provide great customer service. I have a child with dairy allergies, and they are very careful to ensure there’s no cross contamination during the process, they change their gloves, etc…it’s a pleasure coming here!“

“1st time there, food was incredible and the service was spot on, will definitely be coming back.“

“I recently ordered 2 large (catering size) orders of nuggets for our son’s graduation party from this store. They are one of his favorites! The nuggets were delivered on time to our home by an employee of the store at no charge. They were fresh and hot upon arrival! It didn’t take long for them to disappear 😋 I was able to do everything through the app—very easy! I ordered from this restaurant in particular because their minimum order amount was lower. The manager confirmed my order via email and even followed up with me after. I could not have been more happy with the whole experience! I highly recommend this store for your CFA catering needs.“

“Our pizza came in under 30 minutes on Christmas! So happy these guys were open & the pizza was delicious 🤤“

“Honesty, great food for the most part. Atmosphere inside was really nice. I’ve done pick up as well and that is fairly smooth too. Only complaints are they give you an optional tipping screen when paying, when they don’t really offer any courtesy acts once they’ve given you your food both for dining in and for pick up. Also they jack up the price on tea, lemonades and certain sides, and I have to say the fruit cup is not worth the price jump. But their sandwiches are great, service is fast, and overall not bad if you just get a water and chips for your drink and side.“

“Sandwich tasted fresh, delicious, clean! Good atmosphere, friendly stuff 🦋💕“

“There was a sign for where you could order your meals but it wasn’t very visible so we had gotten in line for adding the ingredients and making the sandwiches (which we thought was the start of the line) but then had to go back to the front to order. Very crowded don’t recommend going during the weekend especially lunch hours. Their internet was down so they could only do charges up to 25 dollars one at a time. The kimchi Philly was delicious. The associate who made our sandwiches and took payment was helpful and efficient“

“I stopped into the Quiznos in Urbandale and was pleasantly surprised by how smooth and enjoyable the whole visit was. The moment I walked in, the place felt welcoming — bright, clean, and comfortable without being crowded or noisy. It had that “well taken care of” vibe that instantly puts you at ease.
The staff really stood out. Everyone I interacted with was friendly, upbeat, and impressively quick without making the experience feel rushed. You can tell they take pride in what they do, and it makes a difference. It’s refreshing to see a team that works efficiently while still being warm and attentive.
And of course, the food was the highlight. I ordered a steak sub, and it was absolutely delicious — hot, flavorful, and made exactly the way I wanted. Everything tasted fresh and well‑prepared. Overall, this location delivered a great experience from start to finish, and I’ll definitely be coming back the next time I’m in the area.“
