    Update: 12-31-2018 visit. I understand it was New year's Eve (or day, by the time I walked in). Sure, it was busy and I get they had "online orders" but wen four tables that came after me for their food first, I never got a response as to how much longer, I had it. Then, an argument outside the premise brings all the kitchen staff to look! Come on! Y'all should have been working, not seeing the drama. Management was awful; she didn't even know how to print a refund! Not good. Great customer service. Food was hot and on timely manner. My long island iced tea was strong enough. The waitress was very attentive and always on time. Thank you. We will be back.

    The food was Amazing as usual. It's nice to know that I can get tasty, gourmet vegan food after midnight. The pizza is all vegan and tasty. The vegan Chic-N bites literally taste like McDonald's chicken nuggets but they're vegan. I met Dan who is super nice, very professional, and informative. This is a fabulous place to dine.

    Sunday (7/12/20) was our 4th time visiting KC Kitchen however, first during covid. The food was amazing however did take longer than usually. We always order off of their extensive vegan options. Yesterday's visit was a bit concerning.....we removed our masks when our drinks arrived and kept them off as we ate for obvious reasons however the waiter (super nice, friendly and attentive) has his mask under his mouth at chin level. He was the only waiter helping two other tables along with my which included 3 kids. I didn't ask him to raise his mask and properly wear it. I should have reminded him but seeing other staff around the establishment also not wearing one ot became evident that KC Kitchen was not concerned about the current situation. Though we love visiting and come often when in KC we will refrain during the pandemic and hope that they review safety standards with their staff. I honestly hope we didn't contract anything during out visit.

    Ordered at 1:22 am after the Garth Brooks concert because our hotel (Marriott which is not far away) recommend them because they stay open until 4 am and have delivery. Ordered online paid and included a tip so the bill was over $60. I stayed up and let the other half sleep while waiting on the food. Never a call and I fell asleep at 3:45 woke up at 4:10 no phone call no food. We called before checking out the hotel and they told us the manager that was on duty that night would call us.even told us it was the owner. SURPRISE NO CALL!! WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!! At the local 5 guys talking to the cashier they had done the same thing to another person. So I will calling my bank and see if I can dispute payment to get my money back. Because this business obviously wouldn't mind pocketing money for no services rendered.

    Work bought food for us tonight and I got the vegan Chicago. My hopes were not super high but I was surprised by how much I actually liked it. I was also surprised on how many vegan and vegetarian friendly options they had. Wouldn't mind work buying us dinner from here again.

    Easy to find with ample parking in midtown. Good size dining room and comfortable bar area. Although quite pricey my wife and I enjoyed the midtown pizza we picked up for dinner tonight. Very tasty!

    A great place to go! Great pizza and a fabulous menu. A great vegan selection as well! The lady with the Kansas City Chiefs AKA sunset scheme dreads was courteous, professional and gorgeous! Do yourself a favor and visit this place you will not be disappointed!

    The pizza here was good, but definitely not kc's best as it claims. The French Dip was fabulous, but had to wait long time. Everyone at table was just about done eating when I finally got my sandwich. My daughter in law got spicy pasta with shrimp & she said the shrimp was very chewy. My husband & son enjoyed their hamburgers & beer. We got a couple of desserts to go & cookies were all melted together, but yummy & the apple crisp was GREAT! Our waitress was only on her 3rd day so I'll give her a break. She did pretty good attending to our needs. The kitchen staff however...👎 There was literally 2 other tables so there was no reason I should have got my food so late. I have a coupon, but I don't think we'll be going back here.

    Stopped here for a quick bite while in town. Cozy/clean place. Chicken parm sandwich was fantastic. Wife said the mushroom and Swiss burger was amazing as well. Burgers came with choice fesh hot chips and potato wedges. Both were very tasty, and not over cooked or dripping with grease. Kids loved the stone oven pizzzas. Large craft beer selection at the bar. Server was very friendly and kept our drinks topped off.

    The food was tasty and I absolutely love that they have so many great vegan options but the portion sizes were not nearly big enough for the price they were. They could double the size and it would be reasonable then. We likely won't be back for awhile because of the cost for the amount you get, especially since we have kids (no specific kids vegan options), but it's good to know they've put together a great vegan menu.

    I went here for lunch recently after learning they have a vegan menu. When we got there for lunch around 12:45, we were the only people in the entire restaurant/bar. It took maybe 6-8 minutes for our waitress to greet us and take our drink orders, which was strange since the place was completely empty. The food we got was all delicious but very very overpriced. We started with the Beyond Bites, which was beyond sausage battered and fried. Delicious, but such a tiny portion for very high price. This appetizer was $12 and we got 8 very small “bites” - probably 1 beyond sausage total. For reference, a 4 pack of beyond sausage is usually $5-6. These were tasty, but not $1.50 per tiny bite tasty. We also got a small Vegan Gourmet pizza. This was delicious, but a tiny bit over-priced at $18 for a pretty small pizza. All in all, I was glad to see vegan options, but won’t return - the atmosphere was not great at all and prices are way too high. Go up the street to Aladdin’s for much tastier and more affordable vegan food.

    Not happy. A party of 3 came in very nice and patient. A server with blue braids said she would be with us in a few. About 40 mins later she comes back and says the other server is gonna be over. About 10 more mins she comes over and gets our order. Another 10 mins she comes back with waters. At this point two more tables come in. One a party of 8 and another a party of 4. Blue dreds goes to both quickly and gets them situated. About 25 mins passes and the big 8 top gets their food and about 10 mins the 4 top gets theirs. My friends and I left at that point. Waisted about 2Hr waiting very patiently and non confrontational. Will not be back and will not roccomend. Train your staff to be better or re train communication. As a server myself this is unacceptable.

    Stayed at the Embassy Suites. This was the only place that delivered late night. I had the Goat Burger first night. I loved it so much I ordered the same thing again the next night. Salads, sweet potato fries and PB chocolate cake were amazing. Delivered right on time and still hot. Thanks again. Looking forward to enjoying the food again when I'm in town.

    Great unique pizzeria. Staff is very friendly! Our waiter was great for being a cheese head "GB Packer fan". Pleasant atmosphere.

  • 1/5 Marla R. 1 year ago on Google
    We ordered the toco pizza. The chips and tomatoes on the pizza was only thing I liked. They used sausage meat insted of beef. I couldn't taste the beans. No black olives or sour cream. The breading was soggy.

  • 5/5 CMGeek 1 year ago on Google
    First the staff is AMAZING.. We called in our order and when I said I wanted to eat in they had our table ready to go. The hugest selection of vegan stuff I've seen in almost any restaurant. It was extremely delicious especially the desserts. And the staff was so friendly and helpful and kind I'd go back just for that reason but the food is also really good. Thank you for excellent customer service!

    We've ordered from here several times, and the prices are always high and the delivery times long. Tonight was especially bad. It took almost 1.5 hours to get food, and everything was cold. The pizza and sandwich were black and overcooked while the onion rings were limp and undercooked. It took over 10 min on hold to talk to the manager, and she refused to refund pretty much anything.

    Amazing food - best I've had in KC. The vegan taco pizza was the most delicious pizza I have ever had in my entire life and my omnivorous partner loved it just as much as I did (and he is particular about his vegan cheese!). The other options on the menu looked extraordinary too and I can't wait to try them someday. Our waitress (I cannot remember her name, shame on me, but she was working this last Monday in the early afternoon and had colorful hair) was stellar, and that's another reason this was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. She was so welcoming, helpful, and went above and beyond - she treated us like family. The restaurant was clean and I liked the atmosphere of the place. The parking was easy, the food was delicious, and the service was exceptional. 10/10!

  • 2/5 Bruce L. 2 years ago on Google
    We came because of the awesome menu. LOTS of vegetarian options. We got the gourmet vegetarian pizza, the broccoli (cashew) cheese soup, and the fake chicken nuggets. The pizza was just ok. Needed much more garlic, since it was listed as an ingredient, but we couldn't taste it. If you order it, be sure to ask for double garlic. The fake chicken nuggets were standard. Only one of us liked them, but the doing sauce was good. The vegan broccoli cashew cheese soup was VERY GOOD. we both highly recommend it. The reason for the two-star rating is the atmosphere. There was a Minnesota vikings game on ALL the TVs, and it was SO loud... Way louder than it needed to be. I understand if it's like that for a Chiefs game (and we aren't even Chiefs fans), but it was too loud to have a normal conversation. We would need to come at a different time of day and see what it's like.

    Staff put their whole heart into service, the atmosphere is wonderful! Great Vikings bar! Incredible menu and a spicy Bloody Mary.

    I have been eating at KC kitchen for the past couple months and I love it. There vegan options are amazing. I tried the vegan chili today and it was really good. I am actually thinking about getting more tomorrow. I normally always get the vegan taco pizza which is also pretty great even if you’re aren’t vegan you should give them both a try.

    Food was very good. I had a pizza and my friends had sandwiches. Everything was good. Pizza sauce was a little sweet but great original crust toppings.
