Z'mariks Noodle Cafe - Clive

Food poisoning from having take out from here last night. The food was just ok for the price. Just about any Italian place would be better. They did give us plastic utensils and bread but that's not exactly a standard i wanna lower my expectations to.

The mac and cheese was dry and noticeably lacking in cheese. The chicken tasted like the frozen pre-cooked variety you can find in grocery stores. The butter noodles were also dry and didn't have enough butter. The meatballs seemed to be the same frozen kind. The only dish that my kids enjoyed was the chicken noodle soup, which at least looked better than the noodles. Overall, we won't be returning; we didn't find it worth the price we paid.

I ordered dinner, and the food reminded me of a frozen healthy choice meal. For $2.99, the amount of chicken in a large bowl was disappointing. The chicken looked like something out of a can or straight from the freezer. My husband's and kids' meals were just as bland and lacking in flavor. The only positive aspect was the friendly staff. For two adult meals and two free kids' meals, we ended up paying $35. I would recommend going to Chick-fil-A instead; you'll be much happier. I ended up throwing away the food, which felt like a waste.

Incredibly fresh ingredients, a wide variety of options, and fantastic beer soup and pasta dishes!
