Top 14 Gluten-Free Spots to Explore in South Plaza, Kansas City

This place makes you feel like you've done yourself a favor. With all the salad varieties you could ask for, sandwiches, soups, and tons of vegan and gluten free options, there's really something for everyone. They have a nice little patio area too. The beet salad was amazing!

I ordered a gluten free pizza due to an allergy, and apparently they manually reenter the orders at this location. Sent me a pizza with original crust, and didn't appear to really care. Why you would offer allergen-friendly food, and then have someone manually override it by entering it into another system is beyond me. I'll stick to the SW Blvd location.

This place was incredible! Their sushi was very tasty, even my son enjoyed the sweet potato! They have gluten free soy sauce and you have to try the bibimbap! It’s amazing. Great service too!

This pizza sky-rocketed to my top 5 in the city after our first visit. I really dug it. My wife called it her new favorite. Not sure if I can go there, but I'll flirt harmlessly with the idea. Great flavor and amazing prices. Seriously, for being right off the plaza and super trendy, you'd think you're walking into a hipster wallet trap. But a slice is only around $5 (and a slice is all you need). Lunch (a slice, a salad, and a drink) is less than $8. If I'm going on taste alone, this place gets a great rating. If I'm going on taste and cost compared to my other favorites, Pizza 51 takes it hands down. Also, my daughter really enjoyed her gluten free pizza. Again, super affordable (around $5) which is unheard of for gluten free. We've been several times since first trying it just a few weeks ago. We'll be back as often as we can.

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!

We love the Plaza Yogurtini. The staff is always SO kind. And it seems like every other visit I get 5 dollars off with the phone number points thing they do. I love that they always have dairy free and gluten free options and all the toppings I could ever want.
