I've seen salad places like this that were run very well with great friendly service and lots of interaction with the creation of your meal... I've seen them, and this is not that... I believe that the ingredients were fresh and had a lot of potential. The seating was comfy and the zigzag half booths were fun. The hummus was pretty good with two types of bread. So let's talk about the counter operations. It's amazing how easy it is to be ignored. I always thought it would be difficult to stand face to face with a customer, put my head down, and just simply ignore them. 1 person in line, 4 people behind the counter doing busy work, and no one asking for the order... wow? Or wow. Or maybe Wow! Most of these assembly line salad places walk you down asking what you want in it and give you a chance to customize standard mixes. That wasn't the case. The fellow that took the order went back to heads down pulling the ingredients together and left me out of the equation. That wasn't what I expected, and certainly isn't what I'm used to from great chains in other cities like Chopt or Zupas. The resulting salads were decent. Not great. The hummus was really good. The flat bread and the buttered crusty bread with the hummus were also great. Otherwise, meh. read more

Wonderful as usual. We just joined the frequent Diner group of crushed red, wish we had done that a long time ago! Favorite place to come for healthy fast food. When you come several days in a row, you know it's good. read more

Crushed Red- Overland Park - Salad Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

Tried Crushed Red for a staff lunch the other day. Over the lunchtime was very busy yet we had a nice experience. The wait to order / get food was a bit long... worth the wait. Food was fantastic! Really enjoyed a salad and soup! The staff was super friendly and helpful. Everybody had a smile on their face! The parking lot is quite difficult to navigate and overly congested. Otherwise, I would give it a five star rating! read more

I think the 3 overall on Yelp is about right. Tried it out. Had a hand crafted pepperoni sausage pizza with tomato sauce. It was tasty, little bland and very light on the cheese. My wife had a SW Salad which was good but not sold on how it was SW. we shared the artichoke dip served with pieces of a delicious cracker thin and some crust pieces. Little pricey but not bad overall. read more

Paid $1.79 to add on green beans. Received ONE green bean cut in half, and wilted, over-ripened greens. What the heck?? Won't ever go bank. 1 bean is not worth the $1.80 cost, and is super insulting. read more

They have a nice website with good ordering options, making it easy to customize your salad for takeout. Unfortunately they ignored it and messed up my order. When they learned of the mistake, they gave me a generous refund, so I would be willing to give them another shot. The salad recipes do sound interesting. read more

Crushed Red- Overland Park - This Pear is on Fire Salad with bacon by mistake - Salad Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

Cute place, people were nice, but the food was very disappointing. I got it to go and my salad had so many crumbs from breadcrumbs in it that it was gross and mushy. The chicken in my salad tasted like bland boiled chicken, zero flavor. For people who swim their salad with dressing maybe they wouldn't notice but I do. The soup was also very under seasoned and was very bland and the pizza as well. Sad because the menu on paper looks great and I was excited to try it. read more

Picked up dinner from here the other day after ordering online. We spent a fair bit because I wanted to try a handful of things here. My wife's salad was made wrong - they added gorgonzola despite the order saying no gorgonzola, and my wife hates gorgonzola, so she couldn't really even eat her salad. She also had a bowl of the sweet potato southwest soup. She loves sweet potatoes, but found the soup to be very bland. My daughter's kids pizza was pretty good though on the expensive side for the size. She enjoyed it. My salad with shrimp and steak was on the meh side in terms of portion size for the money as well. It was ok, but not as good as I was hoping for in general in terms of overall quality. The steak was bland, brown cubes of meat, the shrimp was marinated in something that made it kind of limp. In addition, I had a bowl of the shrimp chowder soup. Which, despite being a bowl sized portion, had not a single shrimp in it. Very disappointing. Had it had shrimp, it may have been better, but overall the flavor was ok but not exciting. The highlight and best item overall was the appetizer which featured some crispy cracker and bread with a goat cheese and dried cranberry dip. This was actually very good but again small portion. Overall, just not impressed. Bland food and small portions at a premium price point, plus a messed up order means I won't bother trying this place again. read more

The layout is very confusing, it was hard to figure out if I was supposed to sit or order somewhere. I ordered the Pesto Shrimp a Salad and it was probably the saltiest salad I have ever had. It did the job, I was hungry, but it would have been. Much more refreshing and satisfying salad if the dressing hadn't been so so salty. read more

Enjoying a quick lunch and arrived about 11:30 so no wait. Very friendly nelly and efficient staff. Ordered a two for you of More Cowbell folded flat and a cup of butternut squash soup. Fresh ingredients, perfect portion size and very tasty for just under $10. Clean, spacious, low volume music and TV's. Excellent casual lunch option. read more

A first timer who had never heard of Crushed Red until one was built near my office and opened six months ago. I tried it tonight because a coworker told me they'd eaten here and that it was good. Worked late and didn't want to eat leftovers again, so I came for salad. I didn't realize they also make pizza. And serve wine. I debated between the Farmers Market and the De-Lux Berry Crunch. Asked for a recommendation and based on that, went with the berry. Got the salad to go, with dressing on the side. It made a nice, compact little presentation. The salad is heavy on granola and kale and light on all the other ingredients. I was skeptical of the lemon dressing because it looks watery, but it's actually very good and compliments the other flavor nicely. I ordered a regular salad which was $10, a little high for a salad with no meat and a tiny bit of cheese. But I think I got all my greens for the week in one meal. Bonus! I was curious about the calories and quickly found their online nutrition information. They only provide stats for mini salads. My salad doesn't look anything like the salad on their website which I find curious. I can understand not having strawberries...it is November in Kansas City. But the heavy granola I got in my salad is a mystery. http://www.crnutritionals.com/uc-salads Business was slow (only 3 other customers) but it is Monday night, the day after daylight savings began, and dark early...that could be why. I couldn't help notice a handmade sign on the door informing customers they would be closing at 9 pm on Friday & Saturday. It makes me wonder if they'll survive in an area where there are so many nice restaurants less than a mile down the road. They built this place in between a car wash and Freddies. Most of the other eating establishments are lunch fare...Sonic, Goodcents, Market, and QT is you're desperate. I liked my salad and there are others I want to try, so I will definitely go back again. But after eating my $10 salad while creating this post, I just realized...I'm still hungry. read more

Crushed Red- Overland Park - Salad Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

Too loud and has an annoying ordering system. Why can't I just order everything from one person at one place?! Ugh. BUUUUUT- the staff was super friendly and helpful and the food was very good, especially the salads. I got the smallest size (they have 3 sizes) of the 'This Pear is on Fire' salad to accompany my pizza, and I will gladly go back and have a larger size as my entrée. It's the perfect balance of sweet and savory with some heat and crunch. Loved it. Glad to have this place nearby. I can see it becoming a fairly regularly visited place for my family. read more

Crushed Red- Overland Park - Salad Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

Crushed Red offers crafted or custom salads and pizzas, along with soups, appetizers, wine, and beer. The service on opening day was friendly and professional. My chipotle BBQ chicken pizza ($8.25) was brought to my table just six minutes after I ordered at the counter, and was very tasty, with tangy BBQ sauce and fresh toppings on a delicious, nicely baked crust. The dining area was rather upscale, with cloth napkins, glasses, lively background music, and a beautiful interior. Overall very nice. read more

Really enjoyed our lunch here! I ordered the regular sized salad, then wished I had ordered the smaller one! Very generous portions. Food is very fresh. Restaurant is very clean and welcoming. Soup offerings look great and will definitely bring me back. read more

Really wanted to love this place, but the taste of the food wasn't up to scratch. Our salads were very fresh though and it was a good portion, but everything was lacking in flavour, including our margherita pizza. Also, the setup of the line was confusing. It wasn't busy, but three of us kind of got trapped in the middle. The issue was that you order soups/pizza in one spot, salads in another, and drinks somewhere else. The decor and interior is very nice and they seem to have a selection of wines, but unfortunately the food wasn't up to scratch. read more

The amazing choices can be overwhelming, but the payoff is worth it. We always do the pick 2 and walk away full to the brim. My favorites are the Harvest Salad and the Margherita pizza. This place is always hopping and moves quickly. We love the different seat options, too. read more

Decent soup and salad but the portions are very small for the cost. Would love to see that rectified as the menu contains many items we would like to try. read more

Let me start with the food is amazing! My favorite salad in town. Would've probably been one of my favorite restaurants but decided to actually go in and eat rather than takeout. The service disappointed me. All the employees seemed mad, I think I saw a total of one smile. The first thing i saw when ordering was an employee throwing a receipt, saying a cuss word because they were mad about the work they had to do - not even apologizing! There was trash all over the ground in the back. The set up was pretty good and the actual eating section was pretty clean and put together. I think I will either stick to just takeout. Left a sour taste in my mouth read more

We've wanted to try Crushed Red for a few months and finally had the chance to give it a go today. First impression: It's easy to reach but difficult to park. During the height of the lunch rush, it's a battle for parking. The restaurant itself has a hipster environment. There are little touches like cloth napkins and metal silverware that are a nice touch. Menu: The menu had plenty of options for everyone. With so much customization, it would be hard NOT to find something you would enjoy. I think even your classic meat-and-potato diner would still find something! Price: Being in Leawood, I guess it goes without saying that it's a little more expensive than you would expect. It's quality ingredients but the portions aren't large enough to justify the price. Technology: The technology used by Crushed Red is amazing. When you order, you don't get a receipt. You get a tracking device. When you go to the cash register to pay, it knows your order. When you put it on the table, the server knows where to go. It's crazy awesome!! Food: The food was pretty good! The ingredients tasted fresh, and there wasn't anything we ordered that we wouldn't want to order again. Service: This is where I think Crushed Red both fails and wins. Someone is there to clean off your table quickly, and the turn around is very impressive. However, the food service is a different story. We made alternations to our meals (taking off an ingredient, adding one in, etc.), and none of the alternations were actually made. As a result, we were picking off the ingredients we didn't want. Considering the price, I was very disappointed. It wasn't like we were asking for something complicated. It was a as simple as an order without tomato and one without onion. Thankfully, it's a taste preference. Overall: I wouldn't take my kids here, but for a date, it was great. Would I go back again? Likely, but it wouldn't be the first choice. read more

The goat cheese appetizer is amazing! It goes a little down hill after that. I was ordering for a friend and I after our appetizer and it was a complete cluster. I wanted soup and salad so I could order that at the register but she wanted a full salad so I had to wait in a very long line for that. It didn't make any sense and was pretty frustrating. The butternut squash soup was a little sweet for me but the pear salad was good. read more

My healthy co-workers chose here for lunch. I was hesitant as I'm not a big fan of eating out for salads but a quick peek at the menu - pizza & foldables are options. Arrived at 11:30ish on a Friday & a line had already formed. It did move quickly. I chose the Cobber salad & the chicken noodle soup combo. I got my pager, paid for my meal & found a table. My combo was brought out to me in a timely manner. My salad seemed a little bland in spite of all the ingredients. My biggest complaint is the dressing is combined and tossed in the salad. I like to dip my fork in my dressing to cut down my calories. My soup was very flavorful. I think paying almost for this combo is a little steep. If I come here again & order a salad - I will need to ask for dressing in the side. Another note - two of our party of 5 orders had errors. Will I visit it again...not by my choice but maybe if I am outvoted for Lunch choices. read more

It's a little confusing, ordering, waiting in salad line, getting soups, etc, but...the food is FRESH. The butternut squash soup was divine (hint of cloves?), salad was finely chopped, and flatbread pizzas inventive. If you're looking for a light lunch made fresh, this is the place. He ordered the mushroom medley pizza, and wasn't too happy, but I was. Ummm feta! read more

Amazing food, no liquer licence. Made to order flat breads, awesome salads. They have beer, they just can't serve it.

Just plain. Pizza, salads, soups... they are all hard to mess up! It's nice inside and the ingredients are fresh but ordering is confusing. If they want people to be able to create whatever they want then they need a new ordering system. I may have given them more stars but when I was deciding on what to order and asked how something came, an older gentleman working rolled his eyes and said so you want everything on the side then. No, what I wanted was to know how it was served to go, as I know things can be different when eating in store vs. taking it home. Overall it's nothing special. I would rather pick up a carryout from a place that knows how to prepare a meal to be taken away. read more

I love this place. They handmake each salad just like you ask. They toss it with the dressing The little chopped pieces all mix together and get just enough dressing so that each bite is a mouthful of happiness. I always struggled with salads because of large copious amounts of lettuce with a few extras here and there. This is NOT that salad. read more

Went to crushed red in Overland Park in April 2023 and had not been there for a couple of years. I stopped going mainly because of price point. I was getting a $14 salad(pear on fire) that the only protein in it was bacon crumbles. Their salads are yummy, but the ratio of greens to toppings is a bit too low. I would be much happier with a cheaper salad that had fewer(unhealthy) toppings, and more healthy greens. This year I went to find that the same salad now cost nearly $19. I know inflation is a thing but that is absolutely crazy. They have tried to conceal this by putting only the small salad price on their in house menus which is also a little cagey, imo. Good luck crushed red--I love eating healthy salads, but I have no place in my world for a $20 entree with no protein. Service-excellent. Food--great. Ambiance-fine. Price--:( read more

Great food and the service is excellent. They also honor our military service members. Kudos

Finally stopped in for lunch after a handful of recommendations! Great menu with ample spaced seating both inside and out! I ordered a build your own salad bowl and will definitely be back for the habanero honey dressing! Only suggestion would be to add a list of available salad topping to the order line! Looking forward to going back soon! read more

Great place! Went for lunch and had half soup (roasted red pepper and Gouda) and half salad (welcome Back Cobber) - both were delicious! It was a nice day so we sat outside on patio which was nice. Looked like they had a good selection of wine and beer, teas and soft drink. Also they had flatbreads and a kids menu. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars rather than 5 is because I thought it was kind of pricey for such small portions. read more

This is a very reasonably priced, healthy option! We joined the rewards system with $5 off our first order. We know we will now be frequent customers here. I loved that we could customize our own salads to exactly what we wanted. This is now one of our go-to spots! read more

My husband ordered a large cobb salad for himself and the large emerald coast salad for me, both to-go. The bill was $25 total for two salads. For over $12 per salad I would expect a tasty salad and decent portions. This unfortunately wasn't the case at all. The portions were very small and mostly comprised of lettuce. The salads were fairly flavorless and I could tell they relied heavily on the dressing to provide any flavor. The lettuce also seemed watered down and the salad was soggy. I would not recommend eating here. read more

This place is awesome! Mixed my own salad with locally sourced all organic ingredients, they even let me put together a salad dressing without any grain or seed. Can't wait till this comes to my town. If you see Crushed Red in your travels get in there and enjoy some of that! It's 100% sustainable operation also kudos to you all Crushed Red Way to go to save the planet while providing healthier options for us. Thank you. read more

Amazing! Health, Fresh, so very happy to have discovered this place. I love the elevated dining room experience with napkins and real silverware. The menus with options or create yourself is great. I had The Greek on fleek flat bread taco with a small salad. So amazing. Love having wine options as well. I will drive from downtown specifically to eat there. This is not a fast food vibe so don't expect the price point to be one. Not super expensive and the quality is worth paying a little more. read more

I had driven by this place many times but finally stopped in and was not disappointed. I had a Cobb chopped salad. I got the small with chicken and it was delish. I would recommend this place for a good fresh salad that filing and yummy. read more

Crushed Red is a favorite treat of mine in St Louis, but it seems the one in OP is missing the mark a bit. I got the This Pear is On Fire Salad which I have had many times. The bacon bits were either so hard I couldn't break it up or so chewy that I had to spit it out. The pear was not ripe at all, so between that and the bacon, there were just a lot of inedible parts of the salad which is disappointing when it's $12. We got the Chicken Gorgonzola pizza which was much better (we swapped onions and tomatoes for caramelized onions and mushrooms). Though again for its size, $10 is a bit steep. We will probably just stick to Crushed Red being an occasional treat since it was pretty disappointing today. read more

Ummm this place is a hell no for me. I'm cool with the price 10.99 for a salad. But wilted lettuce and brown avocado is a no for me. I ordered two salads a pizza and flatbread sandwich. For my other salad 4 baby shrimp were on it. Once again I'm fine with the prices it's just that the quality doesn't match. Never again. read more

Pros: the food was fantastic! Had a pizza. Also had the Two for You combo (best value it seems less than $10) chose the Chipotle Chicken salad and a folded flatbread club. All very tastey. Glassware for drinks. Contemporary styling inside. Michelob Ultra "ON TAP"! Cons: create your own pizza is pricey if you're a meat-loving carnivore ($6.50 to start + $1.50 - $2 per topping) but it was very good. Ordering method is odd, I can see it causing a bottle neck during peak hours. Table needed cleaning. Big Con: Asked to tip before they did anything other than take my order - big no-no. Just because some other place does that doesn't make it a good idea for the customer. Summary: great food & atmosphere but clunky ordering system and premature tipping request. To improve, switch from 3 counter location ordering method to a traditional sit-down server/waiter style restuarant and ask for a tip after the customer has been able to determine if you have earned it. read more
