Crushed Red- Creve Coeur - Saint Louis

This place gives a cute post-church family summer outing vibe. I could see groups of friends here for lunch. I like their concept; stand in line to order soup/salad etc. before you sit yourself. The decor here is great and people are friendly. I hope to be back:

The food was pretty good albeit a little on the expensive side. Flat bread pizza was on the small side for $12. The salads are very good and quite large. I also ordered an appetizer called pick up sticks (Jackie Chan flavor) they were delicious and priced fairly.

Crushed Red is in Creve Coeur which means creative creations are abound and they are wholesome too. Crushed Red is a fast casual restaurant that specializes in delicious yet healthy options with an artisan flair. Ninety percent of the menu is organic, and personally, I prefer my fruit and veggie pesticide free (if farmers can 't breathe it while spraying it why would I eat it) so the concept of this restaurant sits so right with me. If you have ever been to one of the other locations (Clayton Kirkwood), it might have been a little perplexing when trying to order. I think they have learned that a change was needed, and there is a drastic improvement from the Clayton location. There is a greeter at the door that thoroughly explains everything. At the first station, you will order your flatbreads and soups, then you 're given a number that doesn 't buzz (because that would be irritating), and then you 're off to watch your custom salads prepared. With that said, be patient with the Staff and yourself; and as soon as you get the hang of it, you will be totally comfortable and ready to command that menu and all of those options for toppings! In no time like magic, your items are brought to your table. Here you will find fresh salads chopped to order, fanatic flatbreads, soups, fresh fruit options, little cool to go desserts, and even wine and beer. There is so much variety here that everyone can find something they like. You can go with a set item on the menu or go rogue and create your own! This day I went with a salad and a flatbread. I had the This Pear is on Fire salad (spiced pears, dried cranberries, goat cheese, avocado with spinach and house mix) tossed with jalapeño honey mustard dressing and topped with candied walnuts; and the fire roasted veggie flatbread (artichokes, portabellas, onion, tomato, red pepper, pineapple Crushed Red mozzarella blend with fresh rosemary). I was a little leery about the dressing on the salad, but it was really good. This salad is seasonal, so I thought I would be brave and try something different. The flatbread was tasty, and for the crust to be so thin, it wasn 't overly hard or crunchy. The sauce is so fresh and delicious, but it was very salty. I had that same salt experience at the Clayton location, and it remains here. True, the flatbreads are smaller, but the price reflects not on the quantity but the quality of the ingredients. Crushed Red also allows call in orders if time is an issue, and you don 't want to sit down (sometimes you need to grab and go to get home and catch that highly anticipated TV show). If you do dine in, don 't forget to the leave a tip for the staff that brings your food. For Crushed Red to be so environment friendly it would better if they didn 't have to go salads in plastic bowls and instead opted for something eco friendly that was biodegradable. I am confident that this place will bustle during lunchtime. The service was fast and friendly, and the food was fast and fre

Love this place. Fresh greens and interesting toppings. Plus good customer service evrrytime you go. My husband wasn't excited for salad at first, he's a convert now! We'll definitely be back!

Went here for lunch, the place was packed. Ordering is kind of confusing, and it'll depend if you want hot items of not. I had the mushrooms, pepperoni and sausage pizza and the Welcome Back Cobber salad (mini); your salad is prepared in front of you in just a few minutes and they will bring your pizza to your table. The salad was amazing, I finished it in just minutes. If the other salads are half as good as that one, you can't go there without trying one. The pizza was tasty but ok, average. Next time I'll probably order just a salad, but bigger. I have to mention this, the service was great, super fast and everyone was really nice.
