Upscale Lunch & 5star Vibes!
Promptly greeted and seated upon arriving to the venue. Service and food were top tier. My Son enjoyed a personal size bacon pizza with fresh grated parmesan cheese. I myself enjoyed the salmon, linguini pasta. The portion sizes could’ve been a bit more complex especially based off the price you pay, but we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves… the ambience and food was amazing. Thank you for a delicious lunch!

The ceaser salad was disappointing. The courtons were soggy.

Food was flavorless. Toppings were lacking. Presentation was garbage. Prices were ridiculous. You are better off spending the $8-10 at the grocery store to buy a frozen CPK pizza. At least it will be good.

We were shopping at West County Center and realized we were starving. We couldn’t find the food court so we stopped by the “Restaurant Village” section in the mall. There wasn’t many restaurants left, but CPK was open and busy. We decided to grab a booth inside.

The service wasn’t good. It took us a while to get seated, and our waitress was too busy chatting with other tables to take our order. The only people who seemed to be working hard were 2 very elderly women, maybe in their late 70s or early 80s. They were nice and helped us out.

The food was meh, especially for the price. I got a mocktail of sorts, which was pretty good for $3. They did start us with some bread, but it was overly crunchy, almost stale. Our entrees took a very long time to come out though, so we appreciated the gesture.

The entrees were overpriced, sadly. My Burnt Ends Pizza was pretty tasty but it was lukewarm, and the Cesar Salad was wilted. My Mom thought her pizza was good, but also didn’t love her salad.

Honestly, not worth the $40 for barely warm food and slow service. Definitely a mall money-grab.

Sangria could have been a bit sweeter, dynamite shrimp was tasty, but needed more shrimp less breading for the price, the spinach artichoke dip was okay but nothing special. Service was fantastic. We would come back.

I always order the Italian Chop salad for over 10 years. I have it delivered through Door Dash and always call ahead to speak with a manager to ensure the order is correct. The manager Nikki promises to double check the order and everytime it's missing the bread n olive oil and extra dressing. It is beyond frustrating to depend on a manager to manage to get an order correct and pay to be constantly disappointed. I use to order 1 salad a week at almost 25 dollars, now because of constant disappointment I only order it maybe once a week. Very disappointing.

Floppy undercooked bacon. For some reason they refuse to make crispy delicious bacon here, it is always undercooked and chewy and disgusting and nearly raw. Good Chef's know bacon should be crispy and crunchy and well done, enough with the raw floppy bacon, it's Gross 🤢

I wasn’t going to leave a review until they got rid of the bhani bowl. I can’t believe it! The only reason that I came here. But to add to that, last time I was here the hostess with the face piercings was very rude and made my mom and I feel unwelcome. Then while we were eating, she continually walked around while complaining about her job. We wanted to tell a manager but decided not to in case we came back. Now that they got rid of the bhani bowl …I don’t think we’ll be coming back.

I had take out for thai crunch salad which i have been eating occasionally for many years. This time, I realize that I need to grow gorilla size teeth to chomp down on the salad as the salad pieces are not as finely diced as before. No more cpk. Bye bye.

Love the Cobb salad

Carol Bernier

Waiter doesn’t know menu. Chicken Piccata is dry. Portions are small. Put wrong dressing on Wedge Salad. Service extremely slow. Had to ask for drinks more than once.

The food was fine but the service was terrible. Our server Pedro had a pretty flippant and disinterested attitude from the beginning. I tried to order a twisted tea and our server checked my id and walked away without any other questions. He then had the manager come out to check my id with some book she had. The manager proceeded to tell me that I was not 21 because my id said “under 21 until 12-10-2024”. Keep in mind this was on the 23rd of may 2025. I told her that I am in fact 21, as I’m pretty sure I would know how old I am. She points to my id where it says this and tries to accuse me of lying about my age. I explain to her why it says that to which she hands me back my id and walks away. Some older man named Art brings me my long awaited twisted tea and tries handing it to my boyfriend who I’m with and I say that it’s actually for me. He asks me how old I am before handing it to me and I say that I’m 21. He laughs and keeps saying sure in a mocking tone and at this point me and my boyfriend are pretty annoyed at the whole situation, so my boyfriend questions him and asks why they’re all acting like this. This man says that I just look young and leaves. I understand that i do look young but they treated the whole situation poorly and i felt pretty disrespected.
