  What a great place that has survived since 1915. We try to get here at least once each year which isn’t enough. Always get a milkshake when you come! Had the banana this time and it was oversized made with real ice cream and banana. The Rueben is a perfect balance of corned beef, sauerkraut and thousand island on rye. Others had the Big Grilled Cheese and chocolate shakes which were all great too. Grabbed some candy on the way out and even some to ship to some family in Vermont! It’s that good. Weekday afternoons are a great time to stop in and avoid any lines.

  First time here. I really liked the food and want to come back for more. The BLT is as advertised. Too much but, hey save half for later. The chili and chili Mac was delicious. The Turkey bacon mets were also very good. The roast beef and cheddar was good as well. The Sundays are delicious too. Did not have the candy but they have a large selection and you can order online. Staff were courteous and professional. The place is as advertised. All of the tables either seat 4 or 2 in booths so it is not good for groups larger that 4. It is possible to have conversations at your booth. Not too loud. They have outdoor seating across the seat - they pack your lunch picnic style. I hope to have lunch here again. It's a historical gem for St. Louis.

  This place is so awesome like a little time capsule from the wall decor, the ice cream bar or the little retro jukebox on every table. The service was awesome the employees where very nice and helpful and happy to answer all of are questions. We got a raspberry ice cream, 2 strawberry milkshakes and a butterscotch malt. When I say this was some of the best ice cream I have ever had it was so good, they have actual food as well we sadly didn't know that before going so we didn't eat anything but we saw some plates and it looked pretty good portion size. Now there was a wait so plan for that but there where moving people out pretty quick. I would highly recommend it you have the time and are in the area was a really cool experience

  Made a first time visit to this historic since 1913 St Louis community gem as I explore our country in every direction by train. My late WW II veteran grandfather Lewis had an old pharmacy with its soda fountain counter, so I really wanted to come here. So thankful that CCK is still in business and also, being managed by a founder family decendant. Impressed from the outside to the inside. Friendly welcome you employees, fast order taking and making. Original tin ceiling and the cutest dining booths you've ever seen. Got some dark chocolate chunks, a brainblowingly delicious creamsicle float and a wonderful history summary by 3rd generation family member owner Andy Karandzieff (with his smiling Guy Fieri vibe). CCK is special. A time capsule of normally long gone Americana. Thank you Andy for taking the time to talk with me and the unexpected surprise CCK t-shirt to wear on my travels advertising your iconic place with its quote "This ain't no healthfood store...home of the (...massively sized and legendary) heart stopping BLT! I definitely would eat and shop here again. A must stop in St. Louis.
