I've always loved this restaurant because it's a great place for a girl's night, work happy hour or a date night. It's become more of a favorite lately because they have so many great gluten free options.
I visited a few days ago with several friends to celebrate my birthday and our server, Dave, was worthy of an outstanding review. Dave was very friendly, extremely knowledge about the menu and drinks and fun! His customer service was the highlight of the night though. He was very kind and accommodating when I had an issue with the unexpected level of spice in my meal. I'll definitely be back and request to sit in Dave's section going forward.
tl;dr: Jessica -- and the restaurant -- knew how to handle our gluten-free requirements and put us at ease doing so.
A member of the family has late-onset gluten intolerance and we have not been going to restaurants but we heard The Bristol knew about GF cooking. We tried them and our server, Jessica, gave is the GF menu and assured us the kitchen knew how to avoid cross-contamination. She did an excellent job putting us at ease and making appropriate suggestions and explaining what was safe to eat. The food, as always, was excellent, however, what we will remember is how our server helped us understand and exercise our options.
Formerly our favorite breakfast place that we have ever been to period. Unfortunately they changed the gluten free pancakes. Now they are thin and not that great. I do appreciate they are celiac friendly
Haley was our waitress and did a great job. The food was pretty good too. My options were limited because I'm gluten free. Looking forward to trying the GF Souflee.
Been here about fifteen times over the course of the last three years, easily the best sushi place in the KC area. They have plenty of great gluten free options as well, which is perfect because my fiancé has celiac. Very fresh and delicious food.
The food is so dang good; I almost cried the house salad was so delicious. I was not crazy about the bread service, but everything else (fried okra, jambalaya, red beans & rice, house salad) was amazing. The cocktails were also delicious and worth coming coming for those alone. Staff was also very accommodating to my partners gluten allergy and helped us pick out something on the menu they could eat.
Service was really good, between being seated, served our food and drinks, and even the manager stopping by at the end of our meal. Only issue was that food came out tragically slow, like, there for two hours slow. But, we weren't in a hurry and it made our date night much more relaxed and enjoyable. Not sure if it was an issue with the kitchen or if waitstaff had relayed to the kitchen that we had no other plans, but just be aware.
The restaurant was pretty empty on a Thursday night and at one point, my wife and I were the only ones. Not the fault of the restaurant, just wish it was a more hopping place. Decor was fine, a little confusing what the vibe the restaurant was going for. But if you're going to a place for the atmosphere in Wichita, what's wrong with you?
Order to the left after entering. Some of the best babaganoush I've had...and definitely the best gluten free pita bread I've had - thank you!! I also ordered the lamb schwarma with the same GF pita wrap. Good draft beer selections and pleasant outdoor seating too 🌞

Excellent drink (both coffee and cocktail) and food options. The waffle breakfast sandwich is tasty and different from the usual coffee shop options - and there is a nice selection of gluten free pastries. Coffee is always perfectly made and the Mai Tai was authentic to the original recipe for the drink - not overly sweet. I love that you can enjoy a beachy vibe in the middle of Kansas during winter! I also love that they lean into the beachy vibe without appropriating native culture :)
We order from this Lulu's location often. We like that they have gluten free options. We love their gluten free Thai chili wings. I really like the diakon-carrot slaw that comes with it. I like that their spring rolls are with tofu instead of shrimp or another type of meat. I also like the mild yellow curry dipping sauce that comes with it. I took pictures of our carry out order that included the wings, spring rolls, gluten free tofu fried rice and chicken pineapple fried rice.
Downside to this place is parking is slim, which is why we tend to do carry out more than dine in.
Mel was AMAZING tonight and had our orders down to the T. My wife has celiac disease and she was very aware of what she could and could not have. If you haven't been it's a must!!

Food was great, atmosphere was good. Service was where the problem was. I was having a Christmas party of 7 on the 18th at 7pm. The waiter was not attentive to any of us, had to ask multiple times for refills, menus, and the whole time acted like we were bothering him. We asked for gluten free menu and ordered off of it and he brought the bread which luckily my fiancé is not airborne allergic. Also my employees girlfriend did not get her crab cake but was to timid to say anything and by the time the waiter came back we were all done with our food anyways and we did not even get a chance to say anything. The rest of your team brought us the food and refilled our drinks more than him. The last thing he said to me was “just so you know the tip is not included” Very condescending and the only reason I left him a tip at all (which he did not deserve) was because my fiancé said to be the bigger man and said that they may split the tips since everyone else did all the work so hopefully that was the case. He made everyone at my table feel unwelcome and I still am mad I gave him a tip but also seemed like a guy who would take my company name and blast it all over social media if I did not. Definitely am not sure I would go back there for company dinners or just to go out again.
Delightful Za and drinks. I enjoyed a gluten free pizza that was a so tasty. I also sampled the regular Detroit style pizza that was amazing and I’ll pay for it later but my gods it was possibly top three pizzas I’ve ever had the pleasure of masticating. We also enjoyed some delightful beers and sangria. All of it was a pure delight.
The baristas at il primo are so sweet and genuinely care about the quality of customer’s experiences. I went in and got a redbull spritzer today and when I was walking out, I accidentally dropped my drink and it spilled everywhere on their patio. I came back in with my empty cup and an apology and the woman at the front was already making me a new one. I even offered to pay for a new one but she was insisting on making a good experience for me. Not to mention the drinks are always top notch and they actually have pastries that are gluten free. Thank you!
Arrow Coffee has awesome coffee and wonderful pastries. I have gotten several pastry items over the last two holiday seasons for my family. They have so many items to choose from, and there are always vegan and/or gluten-free options to choose from if you need those. I highly recommend this coffee shop. Here are a few photos of the various pastry items I have gotten. I didn't get a photo of the macarons quickly enough - one got eaten first!
We had a group to-go order tonight. I got the American Kestrel on gluten-free bread, which was SO GOOD! I was pleasantly surprised the bread held up to the burger and didn't fall apart. I was disappointed I couldn't have the fries as I read they are battered, and I have Celiac disease so am strictly gluten free. I ordered the chips as my side and unfortunately they were not included with our order. $3 for a soft drink (about 16 oz?) seems high. So...$19 (before tax) for a burger and soft drink. Seems a little pricey, and I really wish the chips had been included. :(
We stopped in to eat dinner after a long drive. We did enjoy the food, and we're able to get corn shell tortilla for gluten free. It was hot while we ate and the parking lot is a little rough. Great stop! #crazykleinadventure
We finally got to try the shrimp po boy today! I had the gluten free option and it was fabulous! Tee Box is 1 of our favorite places to eat, everything is delicious and I really appreciate the GF menu! They have the best drinks in town too! Great staff and we love the owners!
Jaz was phenomenal! The banana bread cocktail was an absolutely delight. It was a smooth cocktail which is a great gluten free option for dessert, when there is no dessert. Loved the jazz music as well!
