Thank you very much for Eddie’s service, which made our family feel at home. Eddie’s enthusiasm and thoughtfulness touched us!! I highly recommend everyone to come here for dinner. Not only is the food delicious, but the clerks are also kind!!

Love this place but this time around I was extremely disappointed. Ordered kung pao spaghetti and a heart shaped pizza for valentine’s day. First bite into the spaghetti I noticed the noodles were undercooked and stuck together in a bunch which I thought was a little weird. But then after looking even closer I noticed a little surprise in my food. What I thought was an herb was actually a bug!! After seeing that i couldnt even trust the pizza. It completely ruined the meal for me and my valentines. Definitely will not be ordering from this store again. Smh

yummy food. but a little slow on the service, waited for our food for too long (and we were soo hungry), the appetizer (the bread (w olive oil), which is supposed to be served while waiting) was served together with the food we actually ordered. all good though, food tastes good.

A party od 3 waited 45 min to get seated. Once seated no one came to our table. Not for drinks or anything. Ask the pregnant lady in the front to ask who our waiter was. She said she asked. Still no one came to our table. The waitress was on break. I asked the bartender who was our waiter. We had been sitting for and 15 minutes by then. All we got was attitude.from the pregnant lady who sat us down to the bartender . It’s not our fault they were at lunch The other waiter could have asked us to get our drinks at least. We left i went back to tell the same who sat us down. That no one ever came to our table. She said nothing. She waited for me to walk away and yell back at me to have a nice day with a bad attitude. I have never been so disrespected. It’s not a cheap place to go eat. For them to have us waiting so long to get service. They lost a valued customer. This is the last CPK who is still good. NEVER GOING THERE AGAIN. Disgusting customer service.

Came in on a somewhat busy night, sat at the bar and our waitress was great, drinks she made and service was good. The issue was she was like the only waitress doing anything, her what seemed to be manager was hanging out in the back with the cooks and being on her phone and then yelling when things weren’t being taken out. Our waitress you could tell she was like I need help, but she still did a great job.

Like all CPKs, the food is great. The question is, will you ever actually get it? I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve showed up to this restaurant and it’s been unclear if anyone is actually working the reception desk. And it doesn’t seem to vary with how busy a night it is, in fact, it seems like they intentionally stretch these guys as thin as possible depending on the load. 30 minutes between being seated and getting your drinks is common. But usually the pizza is so good we forgive them. Anyway, the other night we stood at the front door for 20 minutes while multiple servers sprinted by saying “be right with you” and we finally decided to walk out and write this location off for good. Management you gotta schedule enough people to run the restaurant (and probably pay them more)

My wife and i just literally stepped out of CPK and are so happy and fully satisfied with our food. Everything was fresh and delicious. Our server Andi was very friendly and awesome. It was pretty busy but we were seated right away. Thank you for a wonderful meal.
Previous experience:
My wife and i came here for lunch on Saturday, waited about 15 minutes for a table. The hostess that greeted us was nice and polite. Our server was also nice and helpful with answering questions.
We ordered two pizzas and both were very dry like cardboard. The avocado egg rolls was cold and not crunchy at all. The artichoke dip was delicious, and so are the salads and soup that we ordered. You would think that the big ticket items such as the pizzas would be made and prepared with better quality to ensure the food being served is acceptable and satisfactory. After all, the name of the restaurant is California Pizza Kitchen. This not our first time at this location and we’ve been served better quality food before.

We haven’t eaten here in a long time. They didn’t have an extremely long wait time, so we went ahead and added ourselves on the waitlist. The food was better than I remembered it to be. From the appetizer to the entrees, we were pretty satisfied. Best avocado egg rolls, hands down. I had them add chicken and mushrooms to my fettuccine with creamy garlic sauce, and it was great. My husband requested a thin crust for his pizza, and they sure delivered! They were quite generous with their burrata too. Make sure you leave room for dessert. We opted for the seasonal strawberry shortcake one but should have probably ordered the buttercake. The buttercake never disappoints.

This was our first time dining here, and unfortunately, the experience didn’t go as well as we hoped. To start when we received our silverware, the butter knife had a piece of napkin stuck to it, which was unappetizing. We asked for a replacement, but we never got a a clean one.
We also ordered a cucumber drink, which took about 20 minutes to arrive. So, we decided to take it to go and asked for a to go cup when we received the cup it was dented and misshaped, which made it awkward to drink from. We asked for a new cup and it took them 10 minutes to bring it. It just didn’t feel like the level of service or attention to detail we expected.
Hopefully, this was just an off day, but it did make our first visit less enjoyable than we expected.

Came in on a weekday when it wasn’t too crowded. No one ever came to the front to greet me or give me a table so I ended up seating myself at the bar. There were several employees laughing and cursing loudly in the back near the produce fridge for a good portion of the time I was there. The bartender Austin was great, but my food was slow to come and I could see the desserts being touched by bare hands. The FOH manager didnt seem to be doing much other than looking at order tickets that came in. Not sure if it was an off day, but I would’ve preferred to go to Yardhouse next door
