50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Kansas City

“This was an important dinner, my son who is 26, had surgery(had his tonsils removed) a couple days ago, and The recovery is described as one of the worst, and it feels like shards of glass in your throat.he has to eat soft food and he had Choices all over the Kansas City metro area. He chose Joe’s, Joe’s mac & cheese to be exact! We live on the Missouri side (Gladstone). So I decided to stop by this evening, and not only get a quart of mac & cheese for him, I grabbed dinner for myself (z-man w/ fries, ribs w/ red beans and rice, Mac and cheese) which I was reluctant to do, due to me having to drive 35 minutes home and I was worried that it was going to be Soggy and cold, Well, much to my surprise, the food was packed perfectly, my food was still hot, and my fries were still crispy! Thank you Joe’s in Leawood you did amazing! I will probably be back in the next couple of days to purchase more Joes mac & cheese! BTW this son of mine recommends Joes to everyone!! He loves all locations! Thank you again!! Sarah Jones (One happy Momma)“

“The food is amazing! Beckey was very attentive and friendly.“

“I’ve been looking for a new Chinese place since my place has closed. Tao Tao IS my new place!!! The food is phenomenal!! Love “Mama” and Jennifer, the sweetest people ever! Thank you ladies! 🩷“

“My sister and I had lunch here yesterday and loved it!!! Pretzels were really good for an appetizer and then the Chicken Pot Pie was SO FREAKING GOOD!!! I love a down home meal like that and it didn’t disappoint!!! I’ll be back just for that!!! Our waiter Miles was a really nice guy and was very attentive to the customers. Thank You, Granite City!!! 😁😁“

“Usually great food, and we est here often. However, last week we were 100% dissatisfied! First, the entire meal was late, they had to substitute knots for garlic bread, waited forever and the calzone had literally one piece of meat about 1"x1.5" and what looked like a mozzarella stick for cheese. The meal was gross, late, over cooked and not what we ordered or paid for. So disappointed. Since it is a long drive we regularly make I doubt we will be returning. $34 meal wasted.“

“Great coffee, perfecto customer service and food!!“

“my go to for good tacos and tamles. always friendly service and delicious food!“

“We were really impressed with Yard House. Immediately, we were jamming to their playlist with a great balance of rock and nostalgic hits. We were served by a gentleman named Aaron, and he was on top of it! He knew the menu very well and was able to help us find the perfect item for someone at our table that had trouble deciding. We never felt like he left us hanging on any needs, and he was even mindful to bring utensils for our to-go boxes since we were at a hotel. And the food was amazing! Perfectly cooked, and a great balance of flavor. Only downside is the price, but it was not outside of the range for most things these days, so it was not a huge deal.“

“We were greeted by Lara. It was a pleasant experience. Order came quickly. It is child-friendly.“

“Love Dagwoods and everyone that works there great food and atmosphere“

“Get the $5 birria taco box to go!“

“Excellent food and service. Al pastor is my favorite.“

“Good food at reasonable prices. Server was attentive but not intrusive. My wife and I try to minimize our salt intake. The entrees were a bit salty to us but probably wouldn't be noticed by someone who wasn't following a low salt diet.“

“Absolutely amazing staff and DELICIOUS FOOD! I went after a run and some of the nicest people ever! We made super happy plates!“

“If you’re in Kansas City, Kansas and haven’t tried Gary Wilson’s Pizzeria, you’re missing out 🔥🍕 From the moment you walk in, you can tell this spot is built on passion and pride. The atmosphere is welcoming, laid-back, and full of that authentic neighborhood pizza shop vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. The pizza? Top tier. 🍕✨ Perfectly baked crust with that golden crisp on the outside and soft, chewy center. The sauce is rich and flavorful without overpowering the toppings, and everything tastes fresh. You can tell quality matters here. Every bite hits. Customer service is just as solid as the food. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely appreciative of your support — which makes the experience even better. If you’re looking for a go-to pizza spot in KCK that delivers on flavor, consistency, and hometown energy, Gary Wilson’s Pizzeria is it. 10/10 recommend. 🙌🏽🔥“

“I always have a wonderful time here! The food is amazing and the servers are really polite!“

“Took a lady on a first date and chose this because we were walking the area. The food was great and we drew our server as Javad was super attentive, even while training. The only downside was the level of music while trying to talk across the table. I’m sure if I’d have though to bring it up to our server, he would have handled that for us as well.“

“The food is fresh and very delicious. I love eating at Daisy's !Their service is so good .I highly recommend Daisy's Mexican Restaurant 🥰“

“Mexican menu dishes at a great value $$ and delicious food and tamales 🫔 great family ! Go Chiefs ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟“

“Today I ordered 1/2 lb of catfish strips, small fish and shrimp combo, potato salad and two peach cobbler’s. It was very good! The wait time is a bit long but next time I will call my order in. I’ve been disappointed several times ordering peach from other restaurants when out of town… but this cobbler is pretty good. Staff was friendly and my order was correct and on point!“

“Stopped for lunch on our way to Colorado. Ribs were amazing, fell off the bone! Our daughter has alpha gal and they took extra measures to make sure the turkey she got was safe and dodn't cross with any of the beef and pork. Even my North Carolina born and raised youngins were all about the food!“

“Love the food and the people.“

“In love with their food, customer service, and atmosphere. Ate at El Camino and I’m counting down the days until I can go back! Found it through a food blogger and truly believe this place is a hidden gem.“

“Great and friendly employees , the food so good Recomendado al 100%“

“Absolutely PHENOMENAL!!! Our group of 14 arrived here today at the Shawnee location for lunch. We were met by friendly staff and seated right away. Once we ordered our food, it arrived quickly! We were impressed! All 14 orders were correct, served hot and fresh, and so good!! Great size portions! The service was absolutely great! Refills were quick. The atmosphere is so fun! We all enjoyed our food arriving by train. The kids had a great time. and only 2 little ones had a nugget and few fries left. Everyone devoured their food. It's definitely a must experience! We will definitely be back! ☆☆☆☆☆“

“I’m never disappointed with the great service and quality of their savory dishes. Love the Camarones A la diabla.. yum yum yum😊“

“Stopped in to pick up some burritos here for the first time after seeing this place recommended on Reddit burrito threads. They were still piping hot when I got home and we absolutely enjoyed them. Great size and great value for the price. Looking forward to trying out their tacos next time and other menu items.“

“Food was pretty decent! Good flavor. But what was best about our experience getting food here was that when my mother left her wallet sitting somewhere in the restaurant while waiting for our food, she got distracted and forgot it! She didn’t even realize until way late at night after close. Thankfully, whoever was working that evening noticed the wallet and put it away for safekeeping and my mother was able to get it back the following morning. She was extremely grateful and we admire the honesty and integrity of the employee and business! So glad they noticed the wallet and are clearly paying attention to their restaurant.“

“Came out on my 50th birthday to celebrate. Our entree was served and I asked our waitress, we never got our appetizers, what happened? So our food sat at the table getting cold while I ate my soup. The waitress served hit up the two tables in front of us but we only got looked at every third trip. Drinks sat unrefilled sadly while the other two tables got helped. I heard the host ask the manager about sitting us there as she already had 3 tables. Now I know why. Not the birthday lunch I was hoping for today.“

“The new onion petals are delish. They cook the nice and crispy. We had the pot roast bowl and it never disappoints. Service was great. Prices are getting a little much but for the most part it was worth it.“

“Stopped while driving thru KC and do not regret our decision. Food was delicious!“

“Hello, I AM ALEJANDRO BELLO MONTERO, Colombian, and I found in KANSAS CITY Ks. The best place for Latinos, they cash your checks, send money through all platforms and have many Latin products such as drinks and food. Cheer up... it's the best place and they serve you very well.“

“buen servicio🤗 y deliciosa la comida 😋“

“I have been going to Vietnam 39 for years, since it was on 39th street, and I always have had a Great experience, the service & the food are Great!!!! I am so glad that they re-opened!💙“

“Love this place. I can ALWAYS trust that my order is all in the bag!! State Avenue. Hard working people. They ALL deserve a raise!!!“

“My granddaughter and I ate there last week. The happy hour Margaritas were delish! Our waiter Alejandro was the best! We will definitely be going back on a regular basis!“

“I went there this past weekend and the food was excellent. Of course I think it had a lot to do with how amazing our server Logan was! She was one of a kind and I don’t think I’ve ever experienced service as well as hers. Definitely consider changing it to Famous Logan’s!“

“delicious Guatemalan pork tamales, huge with beans and rice. very savory. I will be back to try some other things.“

“good chow friendly staff putting g up with crazy Nebraska people“

“I’ve been here a few times with my fiancé and they run this place like the military. The food is always consistently good, the service is fast, and the workers are polite. The prices are good for the amount and quality of food. The establishment is very clean as well.“

“We ate at the Barry Road location on Jan 16, 2025. Everything was fantastic! We were immediately greeted by our waiter with chips and salsa. He took our drink order and the exceptional service just kept getting better. Drinks and chips were always full. My husband ordered the burrito and taco special and I had the Quesaburrias. Oh my word were they good! I typically order the quesaburrias if they are offered at other restaurants and these were by far the best I've had. The consomme' was exceptionally seasoned which of course made the beef very tasty. My husband was pleased with his meal as well. This is the 2nd time I've eaten here and each time has been exceptional. I'll be back.“

“Food was very good and very fresh! Had a great amount of options as well. It was also extremely affordable. My friend and I went during lunch and paid under 20 for our meal, including drinks! I was shocked, considering how good the food was! Honestly had a great time here. Would highly recommend and will definitely be visiting the next time I'm in the area“

“Ordered this from uber eats. OMG!!!!! Everything was soooo good! Huge portions! Cooked to perfection! Idk where the photos that are on here from before came from but please disregard that other ones because this was perfect! I am a huge critic and I honestly thought I was going to be disappointed because I looked at the gogole review photos after I placed my order....and I am absolutely impressed. The quality and value here are unmatched. A certain burrito bowl and kids choice taco meal with chips and guac and a large queso cost the same to deliver as two catfish combos, a chicken strip combo and three drinks a shake and a chicken leg and mashed potatoes and gravy. The okra covered the entire bottom of the container, my daughter's chicken strip side, cheese fries came in it's own container and it was FULL. It took the driver 17 minutes to get here and the fish was still hot and the breading was still crispy e to enjoy. They didn't forget the sauces either! Also, they have strawberry Fanta.... bonus points. Again. I can't say enough. You have got to try this place.“

“Great food which was delicious and plenty.“

“Have always gotten take out and the food is always hot and very cheap for how much food you get. The lady working the counter is so friendly and reminds me of a family run American Chinese spot straight out of New York . I wish I was closer so I could grab it more often“

“Great food! We enjoyed it:)“
