On a Saturday evening, we found plenty of parking on the street and there's a nearby garage as well. This location is near the train tracks in downtown Kirkwood so you might even see a train rolling by. We received a friendly greeting upon entering, and the staff was very quick to bring us our food. They have a great selection of soups, salads, sandwiches, pizza, and appetizers. I love the warm goat cheese appetizer. They have suggested salad combinations, or you can build your own, which is what I chose on this visit. They have a wide selection of salad dressings and several that I have tasted have been quite good. I always get the cornbread croutons. For beverages, they do have alcohol, fountain soft drinks, and three different types of fresh brewed tea; including regular tea, green tea, and a tangerine orange iced tea. I very much appreciate the fresh lemon and orange slices. read more

Casual eatery. You design your own salad, sandwiches or pizzas. Can also choose from premade option. They add all the ingredients & chop/crush them. Dress & youre done. Was going to add chicken to my salad but the price wasnt worth it to me. Service is just order at the counter & check out/pay. read more

Great food. Came here with my mother and a friend for dinner late last summer. I got the Two For You Combo with a tortilla salad and Greek flatbread. Mbiance is bright and clean and service is quick. The lemonades and ice teas are wonderful too. read more

This location is so cool! Right in the middle of downtown Kirkwood, it has a really cool vibe. If it is nice out there is a lot of outside seating on a really cool patio. Inside, they have a lot of inside seating too. Their new pick two menu is great so I got a wrap and a salad. The food was amazing!! So fresh and full of flavor. This is a FOR SURE stop if you are in the area. read more

Service and food were good! I think the price is a little high, but I definitely recommend getting their version of the pick 2 so you can try more things. It's a nicer sit down fast casual restaurant. I'd definitely go back, they have a variety of options to choose from! read more

The build your own pizza is amazing! Especially with the fresh mozzarella and pepperoni.

Order at the counter, pay at register, seat yourself. I had the Cobb salad - it was a generous portion and flavors were good, but because they fill the bowl and then cop it all together, the texture was a bit too uniform for my taste. I prefer finding a chunk of egg or a full leaf of lettuce rather than having everything chopped into small, even tiny pieces. Some folks do like chopped salad and if that is you- this is a great spot! The Mexican street corn appetizer was creamy and well spiced. The accompanying tortilla chips had a unique flavor. Overall, ingredients were fresh, items were prepared immediately and service was quick! read more

This was my first time at this location. It's really easy to get into and there is tons of parking nearby. When we walked in, it was easy to order and place our order for the food. I will say if you never been there before I take a look at the menu beforehand. Because when I walked in, the guy asked me three separate times, but I was ready to order and I was still looking at the menu. The prices are OK for the economy that we are in. I wish that there was options to modify, but I didn't see or wasn't asked if I wanted to modify my meal. Overall service was great great and the price was reasonable. I got the two for you meal with a glass of wine and it ended up being $30. read more

The service was fine for a cafeteria seat yourself restaurant. We went there after seeing the Ansel Kiefer, exhibit at the St. Louis Art Museum. I ordered the pizza and salad combo. The Queen's Margherita half flatbread and cypress salad with a Balsimic vinegerette dressing. Overall the food was delicious but I wish the tomatoes on the flatbread were quartered before being placed on the pizza. The whole slice comes off when you bite into the pizza and all you taste is tomato and the topping comes with it. Basically you are eating all the topping with each section. Not able to enjoy all the flavors on the pizza. The salad was good but with a little too much cucumber pieces. I would recommend but know there are many choices to choose from the menu. read more

Decent food, but expensive for the portion size. We split a large "Welcome back Cobber" salad and a 14 inch "Mona Lisa" pizza which with tip came out about $45. There's a lot of seating, but a weird vibe. Is it upscale because of the decor and wine? A cafeteria because you place your order at one end and pay at the other? Fast food because you have to pick up your salad, or a casual restaurant because they being the pizza to your table? Salad was good, but the "large" could have used more greens in it to make the bowl look full. Pizza was undercooked and floppy with a TON of corn meal on it! No worries about the pizza sticking to the tray, but you will have a mouth full of grit with each bite! Toppings on the pizza were good, but hard to get past all that grit. Came here instead of Circle 7, but will probably skip it next time have a chance. read more

More attention paid to service this time around. Appreciated the attention to presentation. Really makes the food seem to taste better!! Nice vegan options and gf offerings. Comfortable, sociable surroundings. read more

Came with my family because I had a gift card. I feel like the difference in size between a large and a regular salad is not very obvious? Tasty, fresh ingredients. You can build your own, if you want, and there are flatbreads and sandwiches on offer if you're not feeling "rabbit food," as my dad puts it. Not sure how often I'll be back, but it's a nice option in the area. read more

Sadly, this place used to be much better about 10 years ago when it first opened. We used to go almost weekly to Kirkwood and really enjoyed dining here. You can really taste the decline in quality and the portion sizes are significantly smaller as well. The atmosphere is still clean, with lots of seating, and the service wasn't an issue either. Unfortunately, nobodies food was as good as they remembered. My "Queen Margherita Pizza" was just flatbread with a tiny bit of basil and cold tomatoes on top. The Iconic BLT was decent, but mostly bread. We spent $50 on lunch and left still hungry. The atmosphere and service are still fine, but don't expect good or fresh food like in the past. I don't think we will be back soon. read more

This used to be one of our go to restaurants for lunch or a quick dinner, but I feel like it's really gone downhill lately. The portions are smaller, the food is not as fresh, and the restaurant is definitely not very clean. The last time we were there, we sat at an indoor table that had lots of flies, and it was only April. We would've moved to another table, but several of the tables around us were dirty and head and been cleaned since the last people sat there. Would love to go back to this restaurant once they get things tidied up! read more

Great chopped salads at a reasonable price. My son loves their pizza so we are often there. 5 stars.

Located in kirkwood station this crushed red has good food in line with what you expect from the chain. But where it really shines is the location. Ample parking with two adjacent parking garages and street parking, a great courtyard seating area with occasional live entertainment, or if you prefer to be inside they also have plenty of indoor seating with high tops, booths, regular tables, or whatever you're looking for. Come here for lunch and make a day of it walking over to the Lego store, train station, or farmers markets. read more

I went into crushed red tonight and the woman with the black long curly hair was on her phone for about 5 minutes at the ordering station before noticing me, I ordered the 14 inch big island pizza and it was pretty good, just frustrating that my initial ordering experience was bad. read more

Honestly this premise has been done by those that actually provide substance, volume and amazing ingredients for a lower price. While you may not find these places in St. Louis, they are prevalent and far more bountiful in other metro markets. I ordered the simple....Caesar with Chicken. Thea large was small, the chicken was shredded in small chunks, little to no dressing and maybe three slivers of Parmesan. You can do better spending three bucks at Schnucks. read more

When you walk in, you are greeted by a worker behind a counter. You order your food, and then they bring it out to you. They have alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks, and the seating area is quite large. There is also outside seating if it isn't too hot out. The food is on the pricier side for salad and flat bread pizzas, but it's delish! read more

One of my favorite sports to grab lunch! We used to come here all the time, but for some reason COVID threw us off our game of frequenting! I went to workout on the coldest day of the snow storm that piled in before the holidays, and I really wanted a good salad after my workout! I decided to pop in, and it was totally empty minus the employees! I ordered the Welcome Back Cobber with no tomatoes. It's such a perfect combo of flavors with roasted chicken breast, avocado, bacon, egg, Gorgonzola, croutons, and field greens. They chop the salad parts and then toss it with goddess dressing. Everything is so fresh, and the staff were so friendly. I was thankful they made it in with the storm! I got water to drink, and what I love about CR is that they have fresh lemon and oranges for their water. I truly think that makes a difference! They also have a lot of condiments for pizza and bread, depending on what you order. The booth was clean and well taken care of. They have silverware on the table in mason jars. I was definitely pleased with my visit! Another salad rec I have is the cowpoke! Definitely try it out. read more

Be prepared to do a lot of work for your food. You stand in line to order the food inside the door. Then you move down a bar to where they make the salad. They ask if you wish anything added or delete from the salad at this point and chop up the salad as you watch. You are handed the salad and then you shuffle down to a cash register where they accept your payment. To my surprise, there was a tip added to the bill that I had to manually change. I really don't have any idea who would be tipping and for what service? Then I was presented with a glass to go fill my soda at another station while carrying my salad. The charge for the soda was high at $3.49 and being self serve. I found it to be a disappointing experience all around. The salad when I finally started eating was just average and the soda I had tasted as if the water-syrup levels needed to be adjusted. read more

If you are looking for fast casual food with lots of plant based options (meats available also) this is a good choice for you! I had the farmhouse salad which was super yummy along with plain flatbread w olive oil and garlic. The others in my party crafted their own special combo salads suited to their dietary requirements. This is a nice option in our current world of extremely rigid diners. I'm sure a vegan, pescatarian, keto, gluten free, or omnivores could all put together meals here successfully. Service here is order behind a counter pick as you go along. They bring anything being cooked out to your table. They have a nice wine selection if you are looking for an added kick and plenty of interesting non alcohol choices as well. https://crushed-red.com/menu/ you can order online as well. read more

We had a couple salads delivered and I ordered Play Gloria. I really like this salad but not this time. Both salads contained a lot of brown lettuce. Inexcusable! After I picked out the brown lettuce I noticed they forgot to add the roasted chicken. I checked my receipt and I paid for the roasted chicken. Wow, this stinks. Very poor quality and poor execution! read more

Good concept, fun decor. We went to Crushed Red for lunch during a neighborhood gathering or event of some kind. Although the patio area and sidewalks were a madhouse the inside was fairly empty. The place is cute with an energetic vibe. The concept good...order and move down the line as your meal is made, making a few requests as you proceed to pay. We opted for 2 of the salad combos and followed our food as our salads were chopped and sandwiches prepped. After just a couple minutes the food arrived at our table. The portions were decent and the food looked fresh. A couple small notes... My pita was quite tough to bite through, and my plate was so narrow that as pieces kept falling off they went directly to the table...and since I don't eat off the table everything that fell off was lost. A wider plate would've been helpful. My daughter enjoyed her meal, but there were far too many Peruvian peppers in her salad. Overall I would say it's a good option for lunch. The service was friendly, portions good, and prices decent. Just a few things I would've changed. read more

Crushed Red is a great spot, perfectly located in the heart of downtown Kirkwood. The outdoor seating adds a nice touch, especially on nice days when you want to enjoy the lively atmosphere or people watch. My personal favorite menu item is the Chipotle BBQ Chicken Salad--it's always fresh and packed with flavor. As a picky eater, I really appreciate that they not only allow but actually encourage you to customize your salad (and other menu items) exactly how you like it. The flexibility and variety of toppings make it easy to create something that fits your taste. read more

AMAZING PIZZA and top notch service!! We sat outside and had our pizza handed us to us very fast!! And the food was so flavorful and they're very generous with their toppings! read more

A good place to get a healthy vegan meal. It's nice that they're so accommodating about modifying the ingredients in their salads. I assume they're like that with their flatbreads also? I like how their salads are so easy to eat, with everything being chopped so small. Healthy AND tasty! A little pricey, but worth it. Also, their service is pretty quick. read more

We decided to do this as a brunch thing and sit outdoors since it was such a nice day and the tables outside were spaced apart. Folks ordered everything from salads, folded bread sandwiches, and pizza. When I went initially in to get a menu all the hostess could locate was a catering menu. And we were the first folks in line... Anyway, after finally getting our food ordered we sat outside and waited. The folks who had ordered salads happily munched along. It didn't take long for my Angry Bird to appear nor the other folded sandwich. Everyone seemed satisfied with their salads. The two folks who ordered flat sandwiches were less than. For $9 a sandwich should have been a bit more. The pizza we ordered was also good. The crust was extremely flavorful. So why 3 stars? Well, it was just OK and the group wasn't sold on returning any time soon. read more

Recently visited the Kirkwood store after an evening of Holiday shopping. I have always enjoyed Crushed Red but felt this time they were a little off. Behind the food counter seemed a bit unkept. Placed an order for the 1/2 soup and flatbread. Then proceeded to pay for a drink and food and was surprised by the pricing. I know like all place prices are going up. The food was served hot and was okay. Felt like it wasn't anything special. I will have to try the again at some point. read more

This was one of the best salads I have had in a long time, and that is saying a lot! Because I LOVE salad I will definitely be back! The staff was so nice and answered all our questions. taking advantage of the adorable outside patio next time! read more

Went for lunch and to get some work done. The salad was very good. The bowls are a little annoying because they are not designed very well for the function but that's a small issue. My problem happened when I pulled my laptop out and tried to work. Tried to get on their network and the connection kept going up and down. I asked one person if they were having issues and he didn't know anything about it. Then the connection just stayed down. Went to the cashier person and asked if their WiFi was down and she said "if it's not working, then yeah, probably". This is in the middle of a business district, people expect to be able to work. Would go back for a salad but not if I need to be able to work. read more

Crazy expensive for a dwindling salad size. I paid $19 for a "regular" salad that is the equivalent of a small side salad at a restaurant.

My friend recommended this place for some good pizza and a salad that doesn't taste like rabbit food, and it does not disappoint! The Mona Lisa pizza and chipotle BBQ chicken salad are my go-to's. I don't even like olives but it oddly goes well on the pizza?! I don't know how they do it. And the salad is great - very filling and delicious. read more

Very rude service. Forgot the meat on my salad and added an item I requested not to be on there. I was questioned if I ordered and paid for the meat before they would fix. They were very rude. And although I know prices today are very high for 2 small salad and a small cup of soup it was $54. read more

Great food at the kirkwood location!!! Go early or late because lunch is packed, however service really good.

I still really like the food there. But I don't know that I will go back again as evidently I have become invisible when walking through the threshold of this establishment. Nobody working there would take my order or even acknowledge my presence. I hate it when that happens. The patron that was at the counter when I arrived got served. Is it possible that only my cloaking device was triggered? read more

We stopped by Crushed Red for a casual family dinner before going to the Magic House. I appreciated they had the door open and some kind of air filtration system when you enter. I was greeted when I walked in the door and ordering was easy. We got a five cheese pizza, big island pizza, and a kids pepperoni pizza. The food was brought out hot and quickly. They were crisp, cheesy, and delicious the whole family was happy. Will definitely make it a point to stop by the next time we're heading to the Magic House. read more

Wow, extremely odd place. We attended a lengthy training lesson on how to order(instead of a greeting). Then the ordering was so odd and wack I spent the whole time laughing at the situation not ordering. Ended up with a flatbread that was mediocre. The weirdness took over the experience and I found myself staring at the operation in and chaos forgetting food had arrived. Watching everyone enter being attacked and lectured on how to order. People watching is awesome here 5 stars. The reactions when customers are told how to order is definitely worth a visit just to watch. read more
