BEST COOKIE IVE EVER HAD AS A CELIAC

Torrey Thomas

My friend and I loved this place. I got a cookie and she got the cinnamon roll! You would never know it is gluten free strictly with a taste test. Staff are so nice and accommodating as well! I am recently gluten free and it is so nice to be able to be able to go somewhere where I could eat everything! I was feeling so discouraged being gluten free.

Great gluten free crust, friendly service and tons of space for all your pizza eating friends.

Dara Renee' Allen

One of the most yummy noodle restaurants I've ever experienced! The Drunken Noodles(gluten-free) were to die for delicious... a perfect portion size and tailored to my spice-level desire.

Joey Ford

I absolutely love catering our company events with BibiBop. We have folks who are gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian and vegan. Everyone can enjoy a great meal with BibiBop catering. They are very easy to work with and the food is healthy and delicious!

Casey Callahan

Gluten free menu was very clear and outlined the items with a risk of cross contamination very clearly! I felt confident eating here and the burger was so good!

Dylan Dinn

Amazing gluten free options.

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!))

Tiffani Brennan

My all time favorite Indian food restaurant. Love their lunch buffet! Love their garlic naan, chai tea and mango lassi. Very easy to eat gluten free there, if needed. Every item we've tried on the menu is flavorful and rich and comforting. It's 45 minutes away from where we live but if we're going out for Indian food we always head to Seva!

Ashlynn O'Dell

Great gluten free options!

Clark Hugo

Great gluten free option

Jack Wagner

If you’re looking for a gluten free traditional Italian look no further. My food was fantastic as well as the service.

I enjoy this restaurant every time I visit KC. The decor is inviting, cheerful and natural. The restaurant is very clean and crisp. I especially appreciate the many live plants. The staff is friendly, professional, and caring. They pay special attention to allergies and take them seriously. I ordered takeout tonight and Grace was very attentive to my meal as it was being made. As a note, they have gluten free buns, but they do contain milk (the staff did a great job of telling me). I made the choice to try the buns and can attest that there is a significant enough amount of diary to cause a reaction. They have plenty of options if you have food allergies. Also, they use avocado oil and olive oil to cook.

Michelle Wiecek

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.

Cassie Marie

The BEST gluten free bun and burger I have ever had. Sweet potato fries and tater tots are amazing too.

Jim K.

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.

Blair W

Started coming here because it is a spitting image of another pizza company where I went to college. Who doesn't love an unlimited topping pizza for a decent price? Employees have always done a great job, they're always very friendly here. One time I came in a few min early for an online order, and they were pulling mine out but it had a big hole! They remade it ASAP, and were super apologetic about the wait. They were slammed that night too. The only downside is they don't have options for those with gluten intolerance (salad will be cross contaminated).

I had always wanted to try this place. I was beyond disappointed. The sushi had brown rice which I don’t like. I saw other people’s food and they had white so it would have been nice to know I had a choice since ALL rice is gluten free. I asked for gluten-free soy sauce and was assured it was but then had a reaction later so it obviously wasn’t. None of the workers were friendly nor welcoming. What truly turned my stomach was watching workers fill water glasses by literally pressing the water pitcher down on each glass where people drink thus spreading germs. I appreciate music and a good vibe but it was obnoxiously loud. Super HARD pass.

Moriah Barela

Waiter was extremely friendly and helpful when we had questions. I was so excited to order gluten free pancakes (gluten sensitive)- I’ve never seen them anywhere! They were SO good and I was amazed they didn’t have gluten. It’s not often you find gluten-free food that is fluffy and not dry! If we are ever in the area again we will be stopping by.

Eric Hodson

Great food, gluten free options, outstanding service

Morgan Rodgers

i had coleslaw baked potato and a barbecue sandwich. the coleslaw and potato was great. i have a gluten allergy and the sandwich started to upset my stomach. pretty sure it was the gf bun.

Kyle Hine

We were able to sit outside and if you are worrying about gluten allergy, this restaurant takes great care to keep the prep stations separate to keep from cross contamination.

Kourtney Howell

GF crust and cauliflower crust options

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!

Shar Terry

Excellent food. Wait staff was excellent. Impressive Spanish coffee. Lots of gluten free options.

E Parks

This is the best place for poke in Kansas City. Gluten free options are great.

Mccat (Mcat)

Delicious food, great service. It's a very casual atmosphere but very comfortable. They do offer a gluten free penne pasta option. Cheese tortellini with cream sauce was amazing and the cannoli very good. I'm definitely going back!

Jeremy Darling

Absolutely the worst "italian" ever. Went for my daughter's birthday, had reservations for 7. We got there the place was empty, should have been the first sign to leave, the staff were all on their phones, and not an italian to be seen. The cast iron the lasagna was served on smelled like dish soap and the lasagna itself tasted like fish. The gluten free was salty and overcooked. The carbonara was undercooked and the sauce was bland. The only thing that was remotely decent was the 6 hour sauce pasta, which was really just a basic speghetti and meatballs in a wheat thickened sauce (grandma would roll in her grave at that cheap attempt at a good sauce). We only saw the staff a few times and the never failed to put an elbow in somones face. To call it the McDonald's of Italian would be an insult to McDonald's. Save your money and eat anywhere else.

Jean Gleason

I love Jack Stack!!! Their bbq is phenomenal and they handle gluten allergies very well. You can't go wrong dining at Jack Stack.

Kimberly Kennaley

Stopped here for my lunch break. Not only is this location super cute but also has fast and friendly service. Drive thru was busy but the inside was cozy, bright and pretty quiet for a Saturday afternoon. Perfect spot to read and enjoy some lunch! Plenty of healthy options to choose from including gluten free. The Mint Chip Energizer tastes EXACTLY like mint chip ice cream, but without the guilt!!! Delicious!! Sesame chicken salad was very fresh and tasty. H2O #5 was wonderfully refreshing during a long work day. This location will definitely be my go to place.

Kimberly Hanauer

I’m not a BBQ expert, but it was GREAT and all their meats and sauces are gluten free!! They also have WiFi, added bonus for the work traveler looking to work and eat!

Tyler Sakura

Great smash burgers and sweet pot tots! So yummy! Order through your phone. They also have gluten free buns!

Will Hall

Awesome vegan spot you must check it out - plenty of gluten free options. Wonderful quinoa lasagna, fabulous community focus... I love this place.

Ayaan Musse

Brick River used to (as of last month) have one of the best gluten-free menus. Went back today and was sorely disappointed. First, they axed almost everything on the menu. Second, everything was “pre-made” and STALE. The pizza was not good. The gluten-free donuts were inedible. Honestly I want a refund as I feel mislead by how great the menu was before today. Love the ciders, but I can buy those at the liquor store. I won’t be back if the menu stays this way. There are much better options in the crossroads.

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.

Leah Lambart

We celebrated our anniversary dinner here. The atmosphere was beautiful and modern without being stuffy. The service was professional and attentive. They have beef, chicken, pork, fish, and seafood choices. The menu is modern American. All our dishes were very tasty. They were happy to sub or items for dietary restrictions. They had non alcoholic cocktails, gluten free, and vegetarian options.

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!

Zack Becker

Had informed my waitress I was celiac and need everything gluten free. Ordered the BLT taco asking to make it gluten free, waitress didn’t inform me that it can’t be made gluten free. The taco came out and I was unaware it still had beer battered bacon on it. I took a bite and realized it wasn’t safe. I’m now dealing with the consequences of eating gluten as someone with Celiac. In addition, my family member had ordered something and requested no sauce. That request also wasn’t met, it came out with sauce.

Kourtney Howell

Lots of GF dishes

Scott McLewin

Simple and well executed food. I greatly appreciate that they now explicitly label their dishes as gluten free on their menus.
