Regular This Pear is on Fire
Chiquita M.

I heard about this place from a friend. And it did not disappoint. I got something similar to the pick two. This was definitely amazing. It tasted so well! I took off the pecans but other than that it was very good . You can definitely tell that it was fresh!

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.

In the Club Flat

An accidental find while winding through the STL Art Fair! The menu was easy to follow, the staff were attentive, and the ambiance was welcoming. I had the In the Club flat top with a comforting cup of butternut squash soup. Simple, amazing fare. I will dine here again!

Crushed Red is an absolute gem for anyone looking for fresh, flavorful, and fast dining. The staff is friendly, efficient, and always welcoming. Highly recommend for a delicious, health-conscious meal!

Regular Health Nut

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.

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!

I'm crushed by how scruffy I look

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.

Full launch menu

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.

We had a flatbread bonanza and it was fantastic!
Jacob N.

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!

Inside

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!

Like others, I don't understand the tipping. Am I tipping the cook or the person who preps the veggies? Or is for the employees who clean the tables? The owners?

Mike, Thanks for being a fan of Crushed Red and for posing a fair question! Any/all tips received are allocated 100% to our service staff as a "Thank You" from our guests…

It's been a while since I have eaten in at Union Loafers. Lots of to-go orders, hitting up Bagel…read moreUnion and The Station. I was in the area at the right time and decided I needed soup and salad! Seated at the bar and enjoyed the view of all the activity. My server was friendly and efficient. I reviewed the menu to make sure I still wanted the soup and salad and although the Bacon Turkey Bianca, but the soup was calling my name! Butternut squash soup and Little Gem salad, perfect combo! I love the drizzle of olive oil on the soup and it has a wonderful flavor. The little gem salad with its fresh dill and buttermilk dressing. I could not resist cheesy bread so I got that, too. Fluffy focaccia with cheese embedded. It defies my interesting relationship with cheese but I love it! Great food and service!

It took about 25 minutes for our food to be ready which is very reasonable considering how busy they were. There were people waiting inside and out and they don't have a dedicated waiting area so you'll have to stand. I got the bacon turkey bianca with a side of potato salad. It was so so good! The bread was fresh and delicious and the turkey and lettuce seemed fresh too. It was well worth the wait and price. I have half a mind to go back tomorrow to get a loaf to bring home honestly, it was that good. If you want to make sure you get a table I'd recommend coming early and being prepared to wait. It's not very wheelchair accessible as there is a step to get in the main entrance with no ramp available. They have indoor and outdoor seating so you may be able to get in through the outdoor area, but it's a very tight fit inside so you also may have issues moving around. They have plenty of free street parking nearby. It's a super cute neighborhood so you could also take a nice walk after lunch if you want! I loved my food here and will probably be back the next time I'm in St. Louis. Give them a go!

We had been sitting upstairs and there were five other tables with people at them. We sat for a while without any one coming over to us and my friends husband went up to let them know we were ready to order when they were. We had never been there before and wasn't sure how it worked. Our waitress said she would be right over and then she came over and said ok do you know what you want since your in a hurry. We ordered, then she came over again and asked us do you need the check since your in a hurry. Just being very rude. I guess she was having a bad day.
