Bakery • $$$
“We needed egg and gluten free cupcakes for an important event in the MU School of Music, and Alanna did a great job! I always want to be inclusive of food allergies, but most bakeries don't offer accommodations. Getting both egg AND gluten free in one cake was a big deal. A gluten-eater even had one and declared them so good, they were the cupcakes he *wished* he'd had at a recent celebration, instead of the ones served! And on top of being delicious, they were absolutely beautiful. I will definitely be recommending you to all my Mizzou colleagues for future events!”

“My family and I dined here last night, and the experience was absolutely wonderful! Several of us have food allergies, and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. I emailed the restaurant the night before, and to my surprise, I received a prompt and thoughtful response with a list of safe menu options tailored to my dietary restrictions. When we arrived, they noted our allergies and took extra precautions in the kitchen. They even served our meals first to avoid any risk of cross-contamination. Beyond the exceptional care with our allergies, both the food and service were outstanding. We truly appreciated the attention to detail and the warm hospitality—highly recommend!”

I ended up going with the Oreo and the cookies and cream mochi donuts, both of which were delicious, and the galbi boneless wings, which had so much tasty crunch and a garlicky, slightly sweet, very flavorful sauce. The staff were very friendly—I can’t wait to taste my way through the entire menu!”

“Great place for a German pub in Downtown Columbia, with the flags of the European countries Germany, the United Kingdom, and Belgium, as well as the United States. I came here with my family 2 1/2 weeks ago for my birthday lunch, because we were going to see my sister and brother-in-law and open Christmas presents at their place in Boonville.They don't have much food to offer. But their Bretzels were delectable, especially topped with a few different sweet and savory spreads! So were their Liège Waffles, my main course! As a special birthday bonus, our waitress offered me an extra Bretzel instead of an alcoholic drink. I do NOT drink alcohol, you see. So my extra Bretzel with some whipped cream made the perfect alternative.”

Gluten-Free • $$
“First off, this is an amazing spot for brunch. Their biscuits & gravy is my fav! They specialize in helping people with allergies with being able to enjoy food again, which isn't a big deal to most, but for those affected, this is HUGE! If you are lucky and don't have this issue like myself, you'll still enjoy the food as Head Chef/Owner, Anna, has spent years perfecting her recipes to mirror the flavors of standard foods. Best of all, the prices aren't out of line with standard cafés, which makes the decision to support this local small business that much easier!”

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Endwell Taverna, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish! The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the food and drinks, which showcase an impressive commitment to quality and freshness. Every dish I tried was a testament to the chef's creativity and passion for seasonal ingredients. The menu features a rotating selection that truly captures the essence of each season, making every visit a unique culinary adventure. The vibrant flavors and beautiful presentations of the dishes left me in awe. From the appetizers to the main courses, it was clear that only the freshest ingredients were used, making each bite a delightful experience. To complement the incredible food, the drink menu was equally impressive. The cocktails crafted at Endwell Taverna are not just drinks; they are artfully made concoctions that perfectly matched the seasons. You could taste the care and quality in every sip, with ingredients that harmonize beautifully with the food. The ambiance of the taverna made for a cozy and inviting setting, perfect for enjoying a leisurely meal. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to recommend dishes or drinks based on our preferences. Overall, Endwell Taverna is a gem that I highly recommend to anyone looking for a dining experience that emphasizes quality, seasonality, and creativity. I can't wait to return and see what new delights await on the menu!”

“We want to thank Sake Japanese Bistro for being such an amazing community partner! Habitat was lucky enough to build 4 homes in 10 days with volunteers from all over the nation. Sake provided meals for hundreds of volunteers on the construction site! They made delicious bento boxes with a variety of different foods! Lo Mein, dumplings, sushi, you name it! Even the least adventurous eaters loved it! Four families were able to become homeowners through this event and we appreciate everyone coming together to make it happen! Thank you for all you do in our community!”

Venezuelan • $
“I have visited twice for drive through and overall very good. My father was born in Venezuela and I love the food. First I got the Arepa. Very good but the cheese was cheddar and was not melted. This time I got the capacha and empanadas. The cheese empanada was again cheddar and the cachapa used a more traditional cheese, but it was not fully melted. It took about 10 minutes for the food, but I didn't mind waiting. Also, both times I got a solid avocado cream sauce and a hot sauce. The hot sauce was Frank's I believe which I love on wings but not with these flavor profiles. The beef was perfect and the pork was very flavorful but could be a bit more tender. Overall it just feels like some ingredients are cheaper or easier to find than traditional ingredients. If they would use a proper melted cheese on everything and just add some jalapeno to the avocado sauce, it would be 5 stars. A few tweaks and it would be rock star, but I will still be back.”

Great experience and the pizza was amazing 👍”

“If you get the right server, they can be very knowledgeable about gluten allergies. My husband ordered enchiladas and I ordered tacos. Both were *delicious*.

“Hyvee has a special price on Kansas City Chiefs shirts and merchandise. My daughter was getting KC Chiefs clothes when she found an NFL football balloon. We bought our food and breakfast strawberries. Then walked out. We realized that we had the football balloon in the parking lot and went back inside to return the balloon. The girl working at Hyvee paid for my daughter’s NFL balloon. As a gift, She was so kind and wonderful. My daughter bought the girl working a red flower and more strawberries for breakfast. Every employee was so kind. We always liked the Hyvee near Mizzou for the Market Grill Restaurant, beef brisket, and deli hot foods. Hyvee has the best team of employees. Award winning customer service. Hyvee is a boon to the community. We recommend that you shop at Hyvee whenever you have to make the best of your money, especially for their care for customers. Special thanks to the employee that bought the KC Chiefs NFL football balloon for my little girl. She deserved a dozen roses for the gift she gave my little girl. Thank you. Rebel’s Dad”

“My friends and I came in for Valentine’s and I am definitely happy with our restaurant choice.
The highlight of the night was our server, Ashlee. She was so incredible, very attentive and so sweet. She genuinely made the dinner and was one of the most friendly and helpful servers I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.
I really enjoyed my food (the Cajun salmon with mashed potatoes and broccoli), and the drinks were delightful. The only reason I say 4/5 over 5/5 is because the food did take a little while to get to us, though of course this is more than understandable on a holiday.
Overall, a great experience and we will definitely be back.”

“Years ago I fell in love with their mole’ poblano. The sauce was so dark and rich and thick but for the last 5 years or so it is not the same. Now it has some red mixed in and is more like enchilada sauce. I can get a jar of Dona Maria and make it better at home. Other aspects of this place are fine but just wish the mole’ was like it used to be.”

Mabe they just don’t like rap? Is it racist to not like rap? Do you like country? Do you know any country? If you had a club would there be country music avalible everyday? Prolly not. All good tho. Did you go in the back and confront the manager? Prolly not. Good luck in life son…you need it.”

“Chris Mc D's has the best gourmet food in Mid-Missouri...or maybe anywhere. On a recent visit, we met our server, Joe. He was so knowledgeable about the food and how it was cooked, that I ,wondered if he had been standing elbow-to-elbow with the CHEF, who has my highest regards. Joe explained to us how all the seafood is FLOWN IN fresh. This speaks very highly both of Chris Mc D's and Joe, who knew and cared to share this information with us. A solid 5 stars for this restaurant!”

Everything I have ordered has been amazing from French toast ,waffles, omelettes , tacos ,sandwiches and salads . Very healthy and fresh food . Would eat at First Watch three times a week during my two month stay in Columbia Missouri. Always asked to seated in Melany's section . But all the wait staff was great !!! Took my 9 year old grandson for breakfast and he rated the restaurant a 10 . He had a waffle and sausage links and hot chocolate. I had the Italian sausage omelette with roasted potatoes. Food is always amazing . Great place to go by yourself with a friend or family . Highly recommended this place .”
