Came as part of a group of 15. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. The service was terrific and surprisingly quick with how many people were in my group and the amount of other customers in the restaurant. They had both a vegan menu and a gluten-free menu, which was fantastic. I love that there were 3 types of cheese, which is beneficial and most dairy-free cheese to choose from. It also noted that the cauliflower crust was not dairy-free, which most restaurants do not note. The vegan veggie pizza with gluten-free crust follow-your-heart mozzarella cheese was nice and hot when I got it. The crust was thin, which made it crisp but not hard like some gluten-free crust. Because the crust was not hard, it meant I was able to eat all of the crust and not waste the edge like most crust I have eaten. This is definitely a new favorite.

My husband and I are club members (for about 6 months) and have dined here once prior today. Both experiences were great, but today was exceptional!! Our waitress, Jaden Rain, was very helpful and just the right amount of attentive. She gave helpful insight to the menu and even offered me gluten free bread before the meal (I had no clue that was even an option). Our meals were delivered quickly, were generous portions, reasonably priced, and were incredibly delicious. I was blown away by the gluten free pre-meal bread. It was warm, soft, sweet, and so tasty. The other two non-GF people eating with me agreed that it was very tasty. The GF menu was extensive, including 5 dessert options. Additionally, we feel like the wine club membership is really worth all the perks that come with it, even coming from people who don't maximize the benefits each month. Will absolutely be back and we are grateful for the amazing service we received from Jaden today! And 10/10 for gluten friendly options! (Photos include my gluten free meal - pre-meal GF bread and GF Thai wraps (after I'd devoured them, haha!))

My kind of place! Fun, open, industrial vibe with a small amount of outdoor seating. The parking was close and easy in the parking garage. And the food…. The FOOD!! What I strive to do every day, prepared and planned by someone else. I felt confident I was eating good and fresh food. Like a vaca to eat here. Plus so many options to choose from. Bowls, wraps, fish, lasagne, gluten free, dairy free options. On and on and on. I also believe they have seasonal choices that means you can to eat something different every time you go back. I can’t wait to go again.

Stopped here on cross country road trip to experience true Kansas City BBQ. Ordered The Taste of Kansas City platter to share. We subbed the 1/2 chicken with a chicken breast because 2 of us are gluten free and their half chicken is NOT gluten free. Fries are not GF and our waiter said none of the chicken is GF including the wings. I asked if the wings can come plain and he said no. The coleslaw is amazing and our favorite. Well chopped, not sour/bitter. More like sweet with celery seed. Family liked the brisket the best. Honey glazed Baby Back Ribs and pulled pork were good. Slightly dry. Had beans and coleslaw sides. The beans were good too. Two of our family is no gluten free. One had kids chicken fingers and fries - all good. They share onion rings. Are 4 between the two of them. They were high quality, thick cut and enjoyed An overall good stop.

BRGR is an absolute must-try, especially for gluten-free diners! They have an amazing selection of gluten-free options that don’t skimp on flavor. The burger I had was juicy, flavorful, and perfectly crafted with a gluten-free bun that held up beautifully. But the real star of the show was the parmesan fries—they are *so* good, especially when paired with their delicious aioli. The crispy, cheesy fries with that creamy dip are the perfect side to any meal. The atmosphere is casual and laid-back, making it a great spot to enjoy a tasty meal with friends. Highly recommend BRGR for anyone craving a delicious gluten-free meal!

Sause has MSG it's listed on the label. Why they promote other rubs and such as being MSG/gluten free when the saude has it is beyond me - I'll have to skip.

Suzie Chhouk

This was my first visit to this cafe, and it won't be my last! Stopped by for brunch with my gluten-intolerant friend after a hike and Urban Cafe had so many great options that looked delicious for both of us! We got the Midwest omelette and the truffled mushroom omelette. They arrived relatively quickly and was delicious. On top of that, they did the interior of the place very well; the ambiance was comfortable and the music was great. Great small, local business. Will be visiting again!

I really wanted to like this place more but after going there twice, I wasn't impressed enough to give it 5 stars. The first time we went, it was for lunch. The 2 times we went the staff was gluten informed, which was awesome! I got the salmon sandwich. Unfortunately, the bun was frozen in the middle, and the salmon smelled really fishy. I didn't mention either to the sever. Also, my side salad had way too much goat cheese. I'm not a huge fan of goat chees, but that did not sway my opinion on the amount because the second time we went, I ordered a different side salad and it too had way too much cheese. We got the pork fajita nachos both times as an appetizer. They are decent. The second time, my husband got the Blackened chicken linguini. First off the presentation was terrible, to the point comical. It looked like someone with minimal cooking experience threw that sh*t together. My husband is a pasta lover and didn't eat much of it. I got the grilled shrimp dinner and it came with a great amount of shrimp. I got the spicy broccoli for one of my sides. It was okay. Broccoli was really soft, and it looked more like a broccoli soup than broccoli covered with a spicy cheese sauce. Again, the presentation was not great, but it tasted decent. The staff were great both times. The atmosphere is decent. Nothing fancy. I went in Yoga pants the second time and didn't feel too underdressed. After the second time there, my husband and I concluded we would go there for the grilled menu but that was about it.

We came in on Easter Sunday with 5 adults and 7 hungry kids…our wonderful waitress didn’t “bat an eye” but handled our orders perfectly…Everyone was very satisfied and happy… This was a trial run on taking the kids out to eat…they did a great job and so did our waitress…Food was great and with two Celiac folks, and a vegetarian we were SO pleased…keep up the super work! We will be back!!! PRea

The most delicious gluten free breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had! Patio that welcomes dogs.

shannon rush

Courtney was amazing, she answered all my questions and didn’t seem annoyed. I felt bad about all I asked. I’m gluten free. She was beyond helpful, I’d recommend Courtney if you go into the zona Rosa Red Robin . She’s awesome!!! She’ll deal with your crazy questions. I don’t even know her so this is a true review.

Cassidy Drury

Yard House is an absolute gem, especially for gluten-free diners! I had their gluten-free burger with special sauce, and it was hands down the best gluten-free burger I’ve ever had. The patty was juicy, and the gluten-free bun was perfectly soft and held together well, which is rare! The special sauce added such a delicious touch, and everything about the meal was spot on. The atmosphere is lively and fun, and the staff is always friendly and attentive. If you’re looking for a great gluten-free meal, Yard House is definitely the place to go! Highly recommend!

Brandon Jones

This place was amazing! I was looking for somewhere my significant other could eat as she is gluten free and mostly dairy free. We are here and the food was delicious, they had plenty of options for her, and she still felt great afterwards. Definitely recommend if you have food sensitivities!

I reached out privately to address this issue but never heard back. A bit over a week ago my friend and I ate here. We have eaten at the Plaza locations numerous times but this is closer to us so wanted to check it out. I regret that decision. I have celiac disease and a vegetarian on top of that so eating out can be more difficult. To start, server was nice, but not knowledgeable. I had to ask for the Gluten Free bread and he had no idea what I was talking about. About 10 minutes later he brought it out and it was super dry. I ordered the GF gnocchi without meat and extra peas. My gnocchi was made with chicken. He said, "there was some confusion, they made it with chicken, do you want them to redo it so you don't have to longer or just take it like it is?" I said, I'll just eat around the meat. Which is a complete waste of meat because either way it would have been thrown away. He brings it out, it was super dry. I assume they kept it under a warning lamp while my friends was being prepared. About an hour after I get home, I am so sick and bloated. I am assuming they didn't give me the Gluten free option I asked for. I have never had issues at the Plaza location. I suggest using allergy markers for food like most restaurant do. So $4.99 for a sods and $28.99 for mediocre food is just not acceptable. Be cautious if you have food allergies. So disappointed.

Gram and Dun is my new favorite restaurant! My girlfriend and I went for our anniversary and were pleasantly surprised. We went on a Saturday so I ordered the 76ers sushi roll and she ordered a salad with salmon. Both 10/10 meals. Great server... Thanks Derek!! They have a few gluten free options but not many however all such food.

Ariana

Hannah was a great server! I come here every year for my birthday and each experience has been great. Most items are gluten free friendly too!

K M

I had the steak & greens bowl; it was amazing. It’s a hidden KC gem for sure. I ordered a salted caramel cookie for the road; it didn’t disappoint. Ah-mazing. Also, they have gluten free dessert items!!! 😍

We live in the neighborhood and have eaten here a handful of times, all to the same conclusion. This place is fine but massively overpriced. In spite of being lovingly reviewed, it’s really nothing to write home about. It is not a spot I would take friends visiting from out of town, but I have gone back repeatedly to try their rotating menu and more of their drink list. Nothing - and I mean nothing- has hit it out of the park, which is a bit upsetting at this price point. The service has been fine every time and some of the dishes are good (although most leave us wanting for something) but none are even remotely worth the price. As a chef myself, I can confirm the upcharge is extreme at this restaurant. The restaurant claims to have gluten and dairy free options but also asks that you don’t make substitutions and we have found that many of the items labeled “gluten free” on the website are actually not and can only be made gluten free with the omission of significant portions of the presentation. Basically you get half the overpriced dish to make it gluten free- like ice cream and a cookie without the cookie. Frustrating snd misleading and this situation applies to about half their “gluten free” menu.

I had the eggs benedict and it was amazing! I normally can’t have it because most places make the hollandaise sauce using wheat. But the farmhouse makes it gluten free! Amazing!!

Jenna Foraker

I have twice ordered a butter burger with a gluten free bun in the drive thru but never gotten the bun. Food is always good and the diet root beer is the best.

Kendra Garetson

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Kansas City! They have a number of vegetarian and gluten free options, and their food is outstanding. The atmosphere is inviting and relaxing (love their rooftop seating), and the staff is the best! They even remade my order for free when I forgot to ask for it without cheese (dairy allergy). 10/10 recommended this place!

Chaz on the Plaza is definitely a must try. The atmosphere, service and food were all great quality and is a wonderful experience for that special night, or just a high class evening. I'll preface this review with a couple of special notes. First, we attended our reservation at 6PM. While the restaraunt had patrons it certainly wasn't in full swing yet, so there was absolutely no wait for us when it came to practically anything. Definitely a great thing, but your milage may vary. Secondly, there was some concern about gluten free options, as these aren't labelled on the menu anywhere. I won't leave you in suspense here, Lacey, our server, was an absolute expert on this and was able to ensure that all of our needs here were met without any issue, offering options and modifications to the menu that we would have never guessed. More on that below. To start, this was out 20th anniversary and I"ve been looking for somewhere with some decent atmosphere in the area that really isn't just drinks at a lounge. Don't get me wrong, KC has some absolutely amazing lounges, but dinner at a space that can provide atmosphere, gluten free options (that aren't just salad and water), and food that is good can be a struggle. On top of that some places can get exhaustively loud. Chaz on the Plaza met us on every mark. The food, a "Duke" Wellington and a Pan Seared chicken, with the Cheese plate and Truffle Devilled Eggs for apps, were good. Some notes on dietary restrictions in the applicable sections. Cost here is definitely something to prepare for. At an easy average of $30-40+ per plate for a main and everything else around $10+ we saw a decent bill at the end of the night. That said, we certainly plan to enjoy a night there again. The atmosphere was nice. Quiet with live jazz played at a respectible volume that added to the ambiance without feeling like you had to yell over it. Noting that it was our anniversary in our reservation, the team went out of their way to add personal touches and honestly started the night off great. Food: Here's what you came for. Honest review, the food was good. I'd give it a 7 out of 10. While the food was good, I don't feel the flavors were bold enough in some cases. The Duke Wellington is not a classic beef wellington, but more of a "roast" than a steak. The Pan seared chicken was reported to be excellent. I will say that there are some combinations and flavors that were unexpected all around from the topping on the potatoes to the use of vinegars in the meals. Overall these were well recieved and added a different complexity that was well enjoyed. The cost, as noted above, does come in a bit on the higher end so be sure to review the menu before hand. Drinks: The Bar is clearly well stocked and proficient. Sampling the Hazy Hayden and the Apple Spiced Martini, I will say there was a clear favorite in the Hayden. A smoked whiskey cocktail, this drink tastes as good as it smells, and the theater with it is definitely enjoyable. The Apple spiced martini was good, but definitely a second to the Hayden. With drinks around $10 at the time of this review, the bar runs on average the same cost you'd find in most places. Overall a good time and we look forward to coming back!

Cool KC vibes. Delicious gluten free options. Loved it.

The only time I went to TikiTaco on 39th Street was on July 16, 2022. The vibe at the place is meant to be a chill and laid back Mexican street food joint dishing out the California take on Mexican food, also known as Mexicali-style food. With an upbeat atmosphere, TikiTaco unites their customers together with quality food at its neighborhood taco joint. The storefront at TikiTaco features a walk- up window for takeout orders or when customers want to sit on the patio outside. The concept for the menu at TikiTaco is quite unique with options for tacos, burritos, bowls, desserts, and other Mexican dishes along with alcoholic beverages served blended or or thin. Some of the menu items at TikiTaco are also inspired by Polynesian cultures of food too. In case customers want to follow dietary or health-related plans, TikiTaco features vegetarian and gluten free menu items. The thing I ordered at TikiTaco was the Thai Chili Pork burrito and I had it with a drink of Horchata. My food at TikiTaco tasted really good, and I would visit again for more of their interesting dishes features on their menu.

We decided to go to Jazz: A Louisiana Kitchen for dinner again. I ordered the blackened catfish with veggies and rice. I made the mistake of not requesting the 1/2 order. The full order is huge but delicious. And it was naturally gluten-free.

JL Maze

A group of us decided to order pizza for our break at work last night. One of the group has ciliac disease and must have gluten free so I ordered a cauliflower crust pizza for him. I told the person taking the order that I was ordering the cauliflower pizza for someone that had a gluten allergy. There was something wrong with the pizza because he became very ill later that night and was still extremely ill the day after. My friend (I hope he remains my friend) had to go home from work and loose a day of overtime pay due to this. I will not be ordering from this restaurant again and dont recommend anyone with a gluten allergy ever eat here.

Shelly Fisher

I got ice cream with a gluten free topic and it was tasty!

brandon krahenbill

Ordered their gluten free for the first time and it was good. Same as everyone else though where the price is jacked up at around 17% more than their other crusts. Maybe someday demand will be high enough where an individual 2 topping gluten free isn't $15 even with lower demand I'd be very surprised if GF wasn't a high profit margin pizza at Old Chicago. It would also be nice to get a larger size and incredible if you could get a deep dish going.

Maria Socha

The breakfast menu wasn't very imaginative-the offerings were classic and done well. A little pricey. Large portions. Would have liked to see a little more flexibility in terms of gluten free options. Lots of choices on the bar menu and the ambiance overall was great. We sat on the balcony overlooking union station and enjoyed it! I would suggest making a reservation to guarantee your spot in advance.

P. Sloan

Our waitress Mary was amazing. The food was just as amazing. We will be back and highly recommend this Denny's. I have Gluten issues and they handled my needs with kindness and understanding.

Chris

This place has been open forever and is a solid 4 star eatery! They have great weekly specials too! You'll never go wrong here. Oh! They even have a house made Keto and Gluten free bun for burgers and such that is actually really good! Open late too!

Kathy Kay

Great gluten free menu at the table. Much more user friendly than the bar code menu I was handed.

Craig Willemsen

I took a friend here, his first time, and we both loved it. The place is casual, with tables both inside and out. The food combos are plentiful, as each can be made as a sandwich, wrap or bowl, plus each food item can be gluten free. We each had a wrap, and they were filled with very good coordinating flavors. Service was propmy and friendly. We will go again.

Julie Reaka

great for gluten intolerant people. got a street taco with a corn tortilla and a taco bowl and had no issues and it was amazing

Sarah Croan

First of all, love that they have several gluten free options. I have eaten here a couple of times and have enjoyed the food and London fog that I got.

Sarah Burger

2 HUGE thumbs up to the BOH. You guys made an awesome gluten free grilled cheese for me. Amazing how something so simple can make someone so happy. You guys rock!

Celeste

Amazing dining experience at Room 39 with my peers from the fashion show! Delicious food, cooked to perfection. Excellent variations offered for our gluten-free vegetarian friend. Service was terrific. We had a large party and our glasses were never left empty.

Erin Larson

Always love gluten free taco bell even tho I hate the new changes to the menu ... no tostadas on the menu wth is up with that.

Amber Maledy

Great food and amazing views from the 7th floor. Great for those with vegetarian and gluten free needs.

Tammy

They have gluten free buns!!!!

Janice Chronister

Server and others filling my coffee cup were exceptionally nice. Food was prepared gluten free without cheese just like I need. Great service and a wonderful place to get tighter with friends and family. I especially like the pictures of military service people on the back wall. Great home touch. Thanks for being here.

Suanna Foote

Great! We were seated and cared for, excellent as I am gluten free!

Rachael Caskey

Excellent! We always have a difficult order because we're gluten free but they got everything correct on the first try.

Andrew Hodges

We started off the evening with our reservation for 730 and we got sat at 750. I got the sweet cheese burger and asked for the gluten free bun and for no cheese fritter, since the cheese fritter has gluten and i have a sensitivity, and the burger came with a regular bun and so I sent it back and then it came with the cheese fritter. When I asked them to fix it, as politely as possible, and the waiter seemed to be upset that I sent it back. When the burger came back it was obvious that they had just switched the bun and then took the cheese fritter off, still leaving the whole burger cross contaminated. They dealt with the whole situation horribly and if you have an allergy please never come here.

Pamela Clark

All staff made me welcome, and also went through the menu for a gluten-free diet.

Melissa Hills

Best dinner I have had in forever. Gluten free, too.

Marilyn Lynch

Pleasant atmosphere, reasonably priced based on the food quality, excellent service. Gluten Free Menu!
