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.

Gluten free pizza was awesome!!

My wife and I have had many meals here. They are clear and intentional about gluten free options and how they handle them, which I appreciate. When it comes to Southern food it's generally something I avoid as flour is so central to what makes it great.

Messenger Coffee is such a great spot! Before I found out about my gluten allergy, I absolutely loved their grilled cheese and would crave it all the time—it’s that good! While parking can be a bit tricky, which is understandable for any business in downtown KC, it’s definitely worth it. The atmosphere inside is perfect for working or just relaxing, with plenty of seating options to choose from. It’s a great place to get out of the house, enjoy some delicious coffee, and get things done. If you’re in downtown KC, I highly recommend checking it out!

I always love it here. They are super kind and attentive and the food always hits so good. The new gluten free cake is essential. We love Charles and Tracy and everyone there

The restaurant is quaint with an edge. Service was stellar from the moment we walked and the food exceeded expectations. I'm gluten free due to allergy and there's plenty of choices. The menu is filled with interesting and delicious options. The cocktails were amazing as well. #Affare is worth checking out.

I had the Dulce de Leche and Vegan blueberry bar. Very good, I'm glad they offered different milk alternatives and vegan and gluten free food. Definitely coming back.

First time visit with my husband for a date night. I'm gluten free and had no problem finding several things on the menu to choose from. The food and drinks were both so good it's definitely going to be a regular spot.

Best gluten free pizza I’ve ever had! Service was great. And it’s pretty affordable to boot. Check this place out, they’re definitely gonna be on my rotation of places to hit up on the regular.

100% of this 5 star rating is for the Tonawanda wings. These are some of the best wings I've had in a long time. It was explained to me that Tonawanda is the name of the city that buffalo wings were created and they follow the original recipe. We also tried the loaded potato boats (better known as potato skins) without the beer cheese to make them gluten free. They were tasty, but not as spectacular as the wings. My wife also had a burger on a gluten free bun. The manager did a good job of finding out answers about making sure items were safe for my wife to eat and what the gluten free buns were made of. The beer set up was fun to try. You get a card that you put on the display for the beer you want to pour. You are charged by the ounce and simply pour as much of the beer you want to try. This is great if you want to try a bunch of beers without drinking a ton, and some of the beers you may only want a sip of as well. As someone that enjoys trying different beers, this was quite fun, but felt a little like cheating if you were not suffering through an entire glass. You can tap the screen for more info about the beer. My suggestion would be to add the brewer's location to the info. Since my initial visit, I've been preaching about their wings. So much so that my friend wanted to give them a try and I was all to happy to go back. Unfortunately on my second visit, the wings were overcooked and very dry. Thankfully they had a number of new beers for me to try and help me get through my disappoint, but I did take a star off my rating. To spare my reputation, I since warned some of my fellow wing fanatics of my follow up experience. My friend that also got the wings wasn't impressed, so that reduced our chances of repeating this experience.

Mama Ramen is my go-to ramen place in the Kansas City area! They are always very fast and accurate with orders. I am a big fan of the variety of options for each section of the menu (protein, broth, toppings, etc.) Another big perk is that they have rice ramen noodles for those of us who are gluten-free eaters. Only down side is that they do not have a designated parking area, but that is common in downtown areas.
