    California club pizza
    Hannah B.

    Really enjoyed our lunch here over the weekend. Came on a Sunday- the mall was pretty slow because of the weather and so was the restaurant. I came with my toddler. She had the cheese pizza and enjoyed it! I had the California club pizza. Just like childhood- it hasn't changed. I used to get this pizza 15 years ago when I came here as a teen. Service was good as well.

    The pizza was mid, however, our server was not. We arrived two hours prior to closing, yet it seemed like our server couldn't wait for us to leave. He never introduced himself and when I asked if they had lemons, I was met with an attitude. The overall atmosphere was alright, but I don't think I will be returning. Update: They made it right and management honestly was so kind. Giving 2 more stars

    Sangria flight
    Nancy L.

    We started with the Sangria flight and it was very fruity and smooth. We then tried the spicy chicken dumplings and they were really tasty and not too spicy. Just right for me. We also shared the spinach artichoke dip with nachos. The nachos tasted like they were out of a bag and not warmed. The dip was good though. The drinks and starters were on the happy hour 1/2 price menu. We then had the tomato soup. It was the right temperature and tasty with croutons on top. We ordered the Hawaiian pizza. It looked better than it tasted. It could have used some cinnamon, dates, or almonds to add a little variety to the taste. The pizza was the least impressive of all of our dishes that we tried. We ended up taking some of the pizza home. We finished our meal with the butter cake served with Hagan Das vanilla ice cream. It was heavenly! The server was attentive to all of our needs. The restaurant was clean and had a low buzz of noise which was perfect for conversation with my hubby. This was the first time that we had been to this restaurant which was situated in the Polaris mall. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and look forward to trying other items on the menu.

    Sangria Flight
    Samantha B.

    This location is in a very, very busy mall so there was a bit of a wait. Hostess said we could get a table in 15, walked around 8ish minutes, and when we came back they had given away our table. Kind of a rough start to the meal but the rest of the staff we interacted with was kind and made sure we always had refills, napkins, etc. It's been years since I'd been to a California Pizza Kitchen, but I remember the food being better? Nothing was bad, but the pizza was not the star of the show. The California Egg rolls were unique and really delicious and honestly could be a meal on their own. The sangria flight was pretty good, though the first two flavors were basically the same. I had a gift card that paid for this meal, but still felt like the menu was slightly overpriced for what it is. Not a bad time, just not a standout experience.

    California Veggie Pizza
    Stan T.

    After a rough (and I mean ROUGH) Saturday i decided to grab some food before heading home. I didn't want anything too big this late at night so I opted fora 7 inch California Veggie. I'll post pics when it arrives.

    My wife and I were planning on visiting the mall and decided to check this place out since we've never been here before. Not a bad pizza at all. The crust was really good, but it really felt like there was no sauce on the pizza. I asked my wife before I said that and she even asked do you taste any sauce? By the second slice we were able to taste it, but barley. I think they spread the sauce so thin on it. I wouldn't mind coming back, but I'll have to ask for extra sauce next time.

    Lunch combo- tomato basil bisque and BBQ chicken pizza
    Lisa K.

    Went for family friendly lunch. Sanitizer was offered at checkin, tables were socially distanced, and you could pay on your phone. I ordered the lunch combo of tomato basil bisque and BBQ chicken pizza for $11. Both were delicious and the soup was the perfect temp. The kids menu had a lot of options. I was extremely happy was their portion size and price of $6. With limited seating, only two servers were working and seemed a little stretched. We did have to ask for bread, silverware, and napkins, but all arrived very promptly. Overall it is a nice spot other than the food court.

    The Original BBQ Chicken Chopped Salad The Original BBQ Chicken Pizza
    Jarvis G.

    This is one of my favorite restaurants. To bad they don't have one in my city. I always get the same thing the original BBQ pizza and the Original BBQ Chopped Salad with chicken. They do have a new plant based chicken substitute that seems like a great option for vegetarians/vegans/pescatarians! I will definitely be back next time I'm in Columbus.

    CPK is a chain, but it's definitely one of the better chains. You'll pretty much always get a really good, high quality meal here. You will pay for it, though. They used to have a location at Easton as well which closed. This location at Polaris is easy to find as it's right at one of the mall entrances, and there's a huge parking lot. They have a patio section for outside seating as well. Service is typically pretty good, although on this occasion the server seemed to really be rushing us out the door. We kept saying we wanted to take our time, but she kept coming back asking if we were ready to order. Then when we ordered dessert she said "So, you'd like that to go?" and seemed disappointed when we wanted to eat it there. The food, though, was excellent. Try the avocado club egg rolls. Delicious, crispy rolls chock full of bacon, cheese, and avocado. We opted for the kung pao spaghetti with chicken and the Sicilian thin crust pizza. Again, both were excellent. The spaghetti was perfectly al dente, and the dish was definitely spicy and chock full of peanuts. The pizza was crispy, and the meats were robust and hearty and complemented by the basil and oregano. For dessert we went for their seasonal strawberry shortcake dessert. Not bad.. lots of strawberries, but the cake seemed more like a scone than a shortcake. Still good, though. Tip: their key lime pie is quite good. Overall the food was excellent at CPK as always. I still have sticker shock sometimes at the prices, though. Entrees are easily $15+ (including pizzas). The dessert prices also seem crazy. At least $8 each PLUS $2 more if you want a scoop of ice cream. $2?? We do keep coming back, though.... It's just yummy food!

    Appetizer - Crispy Mac n cheese $5.99. Dry and chewy.

The guacamole tasted really fresh, and I loved that they put it right on top of the corn instead of mixing everything together. The tortilla chips were fresh and crispy too. The Mac & Cheese was good, but it wasn't your typical cheddar mac and cheese. It had more of a creamy white-cheese flavor with penne and breadcrumbs, so just know it's a different take if you're expecting traditional mac. Overall, it was a nice little Saturday stop while we were out running errands. Good service from Vince, hot food, and a relaxed atmosphere. I'd definitely stop in again to try some other appetizers.

I prefer the meat as you can get it at any temperature whereas with seafood I don't think you can control how they cook that. I prefer meats to be medium well. Most restaurants with higher quality believe their customers will want medium well. You have to state to them you need it cook longer if you don't like the temperature they cooked it at. With fish I do think you have to meet a certain quality temperature to not upset the customer completely. I am picky with fish so mine has to be made well done here. The sides are good that come with the meals you typically get the mashed potatoes, vegetables or French fries options. The salad is extra here. I heard it's worth it though for their special 55 dressing. Polaris Grill is a good option if your looking for your typical medium to higher end priced American meal for lunch or dinner.

The ambiance is a bit sterile for my taste, but the food is always very good :) I remember going to to 55 with my dad when I was a kid, so there are some big nostalgia flavors in that salad. Are you even at Polaris Grill if you're not getting the 55 Salad? Service is always good, and this last visit they had a pork chop special that was an absolute banger! I also have family that swears by the short ribs and gets them every, single time.

The side of fries were amazing due to the sauce. Got myself another drink which was the popsicle stand which tasted like a 50/50 bar Had a pair of friendly servers with one in training.

Very well cooked salmon, not overdone and a good cut of meat. Tasted as expected.
