I really enjoyed my lunch at Crushed Red Clayton. I had the "This Pear is on Fire" salad but substituted chicken for the bacon. It was everything I was looking for- healthy, fresh, quick and delicious. I also had a mandarin vanilla iced tea which was unique and tasty. The interior of the restaurant was clean and comfortable. I will definitely be back! read more

Stopped here for a quick salad and soup. Cute place with parking in the back. It's self service so you order from the menu at the stations. Different stations for different foods a little confusing. I really wanted to order a salad and something else but that meant I needed to go to another station. So I got the soup. Everything was good. Soup nice flavor, I ordered Tulsa twister which was really good. Good spice and good combo. The large salad is large! read more

5 cheese pizza was fantastic! Cheesy and garlicky! I loved the quiet and laid back atmosphere. Counter order, grab your drinks and they bring it out. Great option if you are out with the kids but still want to hvae a glass of wine and relax and kids use their "manners" without watching out of a cardboard box. Service was very pleasant and fairly quick. I will def return. read more

Welcome back cobber is my go to salad. Chicken, bacon and avocado ought to be a love song. Salads are good but pricey. Rewards program is average, could be more rewarding given the price of salads. Layout of the restaurant is weird and dark. Seating is plentiful both inside and out. Service is decent but almost too chill. Employees can be loud of some occasions. Overall a decent spot. I go at least once every 2-3 months. read more

Got lunch with a coworker and we were glad it was open kn July 4th since we were at work, too! We had it delivered with Uber and ordering was easy, lots of menu options including vegetarian for me. I would have liked to see more veggie proteins though, like tofu, tempeh or seitan. I got a pick 2 meal, and my mushroom flatbread half was yummy, but a little under baked. It couldn't hold its shape and was very messy to eat. The flavors were great, though. I liked the white sauce especially. However, they forgot to pack my mini salad, sadly, and it was too busy at work to call them so I ate my half-flatbread and called it a day. With delivery orders I think it's especially important to get the order correct and they dropped the ball. read more

I will never stop obsessing over Crushed Red! I have been a regular for quite awhile now, and I've never had a bad experience. Employees are friendly and efficient. The interior of the restaurant is very nice, and I really like to eat on their outdoor patio when the weather is warm. I am very loyal to the Health Nut salad. I'm sure you can't go wrong with any of their other salads, but I fell in love with the Health Nut immediately and never looked back. In my opinion, chopped salads are much easier to eat and taste so much better. Crushed Red finely chops all of your salad ingredients right in front of you and mix it up well to ensure a blended taste with every bite. I also highly recommend the Sassy Sicilian Pick Up Stix. Such a unique balance of sweet and spicy, and they are perfect for sharing. I've heard that some people compare this place to a nicer version of Panera. While I see some similarities, I would say that Crushed Red uses much higher quality ingredients and offers a more personalized experience. read more

The food is delicious and made quick and fresh. I really like the Mona Lisa pizza. I also really liked the mushroom and Brie bisque. It you like mushrooms, you will love this bisque. Nice open atmosphere with real utensils. The people who work at the one in Clayton are so nice, friendly and helpful. Great place for a great bite to eat. read more

Sometimes you really want a salad. The food, service & the ambiance is great here. Nice warm and inviting. They somehow make salads feel like comfort food. The teas and lemonades in the fountain drink area are delicious. The bottled drinks are unique and worth trying. They have signature salads but you can totally create your own or add to their offering. I always get Kalamata olives in mine. The flavor with the dressing and the feta just pops! The hubby got a flat bread pizza. He enjoyed it. I have never had the pizza but they did bring us a warm sliced flat bread to eat with our meal. It was light fluffy and just all around a good idea. I'll make sure I get one next time. Go ahead and try this place. It's good! read more

Ordered lunch to go today for 2 people. The man taking my order did a terrible job. The small black bean soup was prob about 4 oz, just as well, terrible. Forgot the cheese on the soup, forgot the turkey in the salad. The check out girl treated me like an idiot. "This is the number you put on your table so we can bring your order. This is where you put your credit card in." Uh, yeah. Then they never brought my order. Had to go ask about it 15 minutes later at which time some dude snapped, "we bring it to your table." Nope, it was lost in the shuffle. My bill was $34, and the food was not good. Will not be back. Overpriced, sloppy, rude service. read more

This is your typical salad chain. It has pizzas, salads, flatbreads. You can do a pick two option or just a larger version of an item. I will say that the bowls are deceiving and the salads are a good size. I had the cobber and it was tasty and filling. They throw the ingredients in a bowl and then put it on a cutting board and chop it. Then put it back in the bowl and throw your additional items in. When I saw them doing this, I'd didn't know if I'd like it, but it works. This definitely isn't the best food, but it's a solid choice for salads if you're in the area and want a fast, casual meal. The setting has the feel of a restaurant where you'd have table service versus the cheaper, lightweight tables of a place like Panera. The tables have cloth napkins and silverware, which adds to that experience. read more

If all of your heroes are dead And are survived by morons instead Then wait until March Then head for the Arch For St. Louis' Salad: Crushed Red. So the colours had a competition, and Hot Pink was the overall winner. Barbi made sure of it. Hot Pink narrowly defeated Turquoise Caribbean Blue and Sunset Yellow and Holland Orange, then came up against Lucifer Red in the final. Of course, Hot Pink only went and Crushed Red, and the rest is history. I generally love salad places because they're healthy and sometimes filling, but there are so many bad ones that you start to go in expecting a bad meal, and I didn't expect much out of this chain in St Louis - and I didn't get much, but at least it didn't fall short of the expectations I had, despite not really exceeding them at all. So all in all I'd say it was a mixed bag, but definitely nothing bad. If this is the go-to salad chain for St Louis though, then the city needs a rival, because this isn't close to the level of - for example - Salata, based in Houston and available all over Texas, which would do probably quite well in St Louis if this place does well. Although Salata expanded to Atlanta and their locations there were weak and a pale resemblance of the Texan versions, so maybe Crushed Red would still crush it if Salata came to town. But Salata has much bigger portions and more selection and fresher ingredients - although it's very inconsistent by location. Places like Sweetgreen and Chopt (East Coast chains) have similar pricing, sizes and options, but they're a little higher in quality. read more

Lost my order; complete pandemonium in the store; 7 minute order took 40 minutes and then....lost. Will not be back.

Healthiest restaurant in the Lou! Nice size, comfortable & laid-back ambience. Plenty of staff, good Mgmt. overseeing the incredible experience and the freshest of ingredients for your salad. I always do ala carte which is more expensive but your ROI is 6-8 meals. I love how they have diff beans, fruit, veggies. Dressings, etc.. read more

My sister took me to this lunch spot in Clayton and pitched it to me as a nicer, on-off Panera - and I believe this was largely accurate. Their menu has a wide array of soup, salad, sandwiches, and flatbreads. It is a little more interesting that you typical lunch place and I appreciated the innovative ways they use flatbreads to fill out their menu. We were there for an early weekday lunch and Crushed Red was practically empty. We split hummus and I got a Chicken Caesar flatbread and Butternut Squash soup. All of the food was really good but also very expensive. I did appreciate how the portion sizes were not massive. Perfect for lunch. One unique thing about this place is the pepper bar that they have available as self-service in the middle of the retsuraunt. I liked this as a self-service option if you want to spice up your meal. They also allow you to endlessly customize your salad should you choose to get one. This place was good, not great. I would recommend it for a work lunch or a quick bite but it is nothing special. read more

Brought my team here and it was perfect - there were 6 of us and the flatbreads are sliced into 6 pieces so the math was mathing wonderfully! We also tried the goat cheese dip and the hummus dip and it was so good we didn't realize we'd forgotten to take a photo until we were fully finished! Weather was bad and it was slow and the staff was so kind and cheerful and attentive! read more

If this is your first time visiting this restaurant, the setup is bizarre. The staff was not friendly to walk you through it. Do you order salads at one place but anything cooked on the other register along with drinks? Eventually, I got my food, which was good, but the service was very lackluster. read more

Not sure why it took me so long to check this place out, but glad I finally did! I went in, being in the mood for something healthier and lighter. The emerald coast salad was absolutely amazing, as was the tunapalooza my GF ordered. The staff is friendly, and the place is cute and trendy. My only gripe is that the prices seem a tad high. That said, I look forward to going back and trying more salads as well as trying their pizza! read more

Never stayed in Clayton before. Pretty nice area. Unfortunately, I really didnt have time for a full sit-down meal, even though Crushed Red offers that. I just wanted to grab something not too heavy, since I am a day sleeper, due to my job. Crushed Red was just what I needed. Opted for one of their salad options, the Chicken Salad Salad. They mix their chicken salad with blue berries. And, you can add 3 extra veggies, for free. So, I took advantage of that. This is a pretty good size salad. Perfect amount for what I was seeking. Definitely no complaints. I wanted to try their hummus, but ill save that for next time. read more

I'm having pear on fire salad and it is delicious!!! If you have not visited this little gem, you should! I definitely will re-appear soon.

Love these spots whatever the location- reliably fresh and tasty! Great simple service!

Weird layout. You come in and where you order is right there. Can see that being and issue if many people go at one time. But the sunlight coming in is glorious. Had the big island pizza which was not good. The pineapple pieces were too big which I think made it too soggy. The crust also wasn't the best. Pear is on fire salad was pretty decent. Service was cool. read more

I have to say that I really have come to like Crushed Red. In a cafeteria like setting you get in line to order. At the first station you can order soups and flat breads. I like the red pepper soup and have enjoyed a butternut squash one as well. The flat breads are good, but about what you would expect. After ordering hot food you shift down towards the salad stations. Crushed Red has 10-14 different salads to choose from. My favorite is the Cowpoke Smoke. You can get one of three sizes. The salads are large. The regular (medium) is enough for a meal or for two people to split if you get a flat bread. The salads are prepared right in front of you and are done reasonably fast. You can also place orders online. The price is around the same as what you would pay at Panera. One note is that you do need to watch the salad prep if you make substitutions. My fiancee always adds chicken to her South of the Border. I would say 50% of the time they forget to add it. It makes sense since they make the same salads over and over that they may forget a modification. It is annoying, but just double check if you added meat. This is the only thing knocking them down to four stars. read more

I have a crush on Crushed Red. It truly is an urban bake and chop shop. I would be torn if I had to decide which I liked more the salads or the flatbreads. To be honest if you order right, they compliment each other. Size does matter when ordering your salad. If you're sharing or enjoying a flatbread by yourself, a mini is the perfect size. I enjoyed a Farmer's Market which was mixed greens, smoked turkey breast, goat cheese, sunflower seeds, granny smith apples and diced cranberries. Hold the turkey and it is still a great salad for a vegetarian. They recommend honey mustard dressing and I too give it a thumbs up. The SO ordered his favorite Cowpoke Smoke. It too is a great chop with roasted sirloin steak, roma tomato, red onion, blue cheese and crispy jalapeño straws tossed with mixed greens and goddess dressing. He also ordered a mini size and it was plenty since we were sharing a Five Cheese Flatbread. The flatbread was sliced into four pieces, making it the perfect accompaniment to two salads. It was like having a slice of cheese garlic bread. You cannot go wrong with a flat bread brushed with extra virgin olive oil and roasted garlic, then topped with goat, feta, gorgonzola, parmesan, mozzarella cheese and sprinkled with fresh basil. You'll stand in line, order in line then select your table and wait for your food to be delivered by a cheerful staff person. Lunch time is prime so finding a good table may be difficult, but the food is good. read more

Fresh produce, flexible to make your salad the way you want it, very nice and attentive staff.

My friends and I thought this would be a great stop on a summer evening for a quick bite to eat. The service is pretty quick and we were able to get in and out within an hour. We split a chopped salad-kopita and I ordered a mushroom medley flatbread. The flatbread was decent, nothing special. The crust was a thin, but still soft, and the mushrooms blended well together. But, personally I wasn't a fan of the cheese sauce. But OMG I'm such a fan of the salad. They way they prepare every salad here requires tossing all the toppings together and then chopping them into a fine blend. So, instead of eating a spoonful of lettuce, followed by a spoonful of chickpeas, etc... you get all the flavors in one delicious bite. All in all, I will come back, but the food is ordinary - not terrible, but it also didn't stand out. read more

Great lunch spot! Their menu is high quality ingredients (a lot of organic options) and is very diverse in health food items. For a Wednesday at 1pm it was pretty busy but the line moved very quickly. I had the tunapalooza salad which was great and the regular size was very filling. They even have salad (or pizza) add-ones like Parmesan and roasted garlic free of charge. Tasty food, won't break the bank, and most importantly, fills you up guilt-free! read more

Two big turnoffs. Staff-The staff thinks that just because they are behind the counter customers can't hear them. While we sat in a boot close to the front counter an employee continued to gripe about another employee using profanity. That is not good anywhere. Price-it's expensive for what you get. So your research before you go if you must. I am hard pressed to say the quality garnered the price. So you want to know about the food eh? It was good. That's it, nothing special. Not bad but nothing that would make me want to return. read more

Crushed Red has a "crush" of people at lunch! If you can, have one person order, and one get the table. I liked that you can order one of their creations or custom order your own chopped salad-very cool! That's right up my alley...as one of those pesky customers who asks can you take off this and add that! The pizza is decent, again you can order off the menu or create your own. What threw me for a loop is that the crust tastes like an English muffin. IIt didn't taste bad, but it was different...and I think I prefer good old fashioned pizza crust over different. I would eat here again, but I wouldn't go out of my way. read more

In a nutshell, food handling is questionable! We've ordered Shrimp bowls on 2 different occasions and after a day, leftovers, the shrimp developed dark spots. Clearly evident that food safety at 'Crush' needs to be addressed at the Clayton location. I'll be contacting STL County Health... yep, it's that serious. And upon reporting the conditions of the restaurant's shrimp in our take-out, to the store the agent just wanted to argue! He Didn't apologise for the failure or take responsibility for the poor quality of the food. read more

I really like the layout and design of this place. The wood is very rich and warm, the open layout gives it a modern feel. For a fast casual restaurant, it's unique enough that it's in a class of it's own. There's a employee at the beginning of the line that you give your "hot food" order to so that they can begin prep. Then you move into the salad line where you can get a custom or menu based salad. At the register you pay and place your drink order. How awesome that they serve wine here! Not of a fan of the pepsi products though. I opted for the small welcome back cobber salad add onion and the roasted chicken gorgonzola pizza. The salad was prepped while I was in line and the pizza was delivered to my table piping hot. Fresh ingredients and flavor combinations. This was a very enjoyable lunch and it's food that makes sense for lunch. However, the price point to have a small salad and pizza is a little on the pricey side, but I do think it was worth what I paid. read more

Crushed Red- Clayton - Roasted Chicken flatbread, small welcome back cobbler salad - Pizza Near Me - Clayton, Missouri

Extremely disappointed. I will not be returning to this location. I ordered a regular salad and a specialty pizza for curbside. I called when I arrived to let them know that I was outside. They didn't answer for a solid two minutes so I knew I'd probably be waiting a little bit before they brought my food out, but I didn't think it would be 20 minutes. Finally I went inside and the food was just sitting there - pizza cold and salad soggy. Didn't realize until I got home that my artichoke hearts (which have an upcharge) were missing and about a third of the house mix and spinach was wilted and slimy. I picked out what I could because I wasn't going to let a $12 salad go to waste. Pizza tasted alright, but minimal toppings and sauce wasn't surprising after seeing the salad. Probably about 40% of the pizza was plain dry crust. I really would have thought that a restaurant which advertises fresh ingredients and great salads would have exactly that, but I guess my expectations are too high. Attached photo shows how much wilted lettuce I pulled out of my salad. Forgot to get a photo of the pizza. read more
