I know CPK can be a hit of a miss, depending on what location you visit. This place however, has pretty much always delivered for me. Having been in and out of BR for the last 6 years or so - CPK on Perkins has always featured on on my fav takeout places, whether I was at the Renaisance or a corporate apartment. I have a standard take out order - Half of the thal crunch salad, no meat, add avocado and some bread. It always tastes delicious. It comes with 2 kinds of dressings, topped with some roasted peanuts and crunchy wonton strips. I can never get enough of this salad. I have tried several other things on their menu too - love their lettuce wraps and the veggie pizza/ margarita too. Not that big a fan of their "egg roll" kinda things.
If we visit in person, I always prefer the outside (when the weather is great), because I will honestly tell you - the inside has this lingering stale food smell that NEVER leaves. The servers are usually pretty friendly. We skip the drinks - all their cocktails are chock full of sugar and artificial flavors in my mind.
If you come on a Thur evening, grab yourself and outside table and watch the bands serenade the crowd for Rock on the Rowe performances as you eat.. win-win!
