Louie's Wine Dive

I had the chicken picatta, to go. The ticket wasn’t marked gf, and the person ringing me up said it was gf. I asked “All the time?” He said, I think so. I told him I had to know for sure, so he asked another of the wait staff who said, it was always gf. I had low confidence but took it with me anyway. Got it home and the only taste it had was vaguely cajun blackened spice. A lemon on the side. Definitely not chicken picatta, and no where good enough to risk it.

I’ve also had the gf fish and chips here. I really, really wanted that to be good, but it is always hard (not crispy) and burned. And the fries are limp and greasy. The food just isn’t worth the risk. I won’t go back.

One of the best burgers ever and even a gluten-eater agreed! The gluten free bun didn’t fall apart and taste like sand; it was super yummy!

We ate here on 12/07/2019. The atmosphere is nice. The food is amazing and mine was completely safe. I have a severe wheat allergy and I had no reaction from the gluten free selection. The fish and chips was amazing. The service was very friendly as well.

Knowledgeable staff! Feel safe bringing my celiac daughter here!

Love this place! I brought my Celiac daughter a gluten free burger bun from home, and they willingly toasted and buttered it in their kitchen. The gluten free fried calamari is delicious!

I’ve been to Louie’s before and had a wonderful experience. Tonight I double checked with my waiter to make sure there was still a dedicated fryer and he said they no longer have one. 😫 The waiter was very nice, but I was disappointed that one of my favorite places is no longer safe.

Lots of GF choices on the menu, and ones that celiacs don't usually get. The food is excellent. Great flavors and textures that are very unique. This chef can really cook! The calamari and dipping sauce appetizer was amazing, and the fish and chips were a rare treat for those on a GF diet (GF fryer here, of course). I also really enjoyed the dessert. If you get the apple crisp, be sure to mix the whipped cream with the apple crisp in every bite; they complement each other perfectly.

So happy we found this place. Stopped by at 1030 on a Friday night (they stop serving dinner at 11). Even though we came late the staff was very friendly and the food came out fresh and piping hot. Many options to choose from and they are clearly labeled on the menu. I got the fish and chips and it was AMAZING. They have a dedicated fryer and all items are battered in rice flour. Can't wait to come back and try the other selections

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I go the this restaurant at least twice a month!! They have so many unique gluten free options that are so hard to find anywhere else, such as the fish and chips- which are amazing- and cheese curds (these do not always appear on the menu due to the seasonal changes but just ask the waiter for them and they will make them for you). I have never had a bad experience here, the staff is awesome!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I love this place! Have visited about 4-5 times now and never gotten sick! I usually get about 4 of their appetizers that are GF and love them all!!! Yum! Great atmosphere too!

Celiac friendly?

Wow!!! Loved this place! Amazing lemon drop martini, crisp pecan brussel sprouts, and champagne fish and chips!! What a treat! So many GF options although no dessert options. Flavors were out of this world!

Celiac friendly?

Staff was very knowledgeable and food was great! So many options. Can’t wait to go back for the calamari and fish and chips!

Celiac friendly?

They have a lot of gluten-free options! Everything is fried in rice flour, so there fryer has no cross contamination. Fried Calamari is amazing!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was very knowledgeable and kitchen has dedicated fryer and kitchen space. Fish and chips and calmari were fantastic. Obviously they have wine, but also gluten free beer which rotates monthly. Did not get sick. Will definitely be back!

This is my favorite GF spot in KC. Great food and wine. They take their prep very serious and have a separate prep area in the kitchen for GF dishes.

This was our 2nd visit. Fish and chips -amazing Squeaky cheese-which tastes like mozzarella sticks-so good. Shrimp and grits. Yum Chocolate torte-delish All gluten free!!!!

So many great GF items! They just revamped the menu and I was pleasantly surprised to see how many options I still had! Everything is clearly marked and the wait staff is knowledgeable about GF and allergies.

My new favorite restaurant! Everything was wonderful including deviled eggs, charcuterie, and fish and chips. Service was excellent and knowledgeable.

The fish and chips with fries was delicious!!!! They were extreme accommodating. I had a concern with the shared appetizer and they replaced it. no problems!!!!

Celiac friendly?

Fish and chips are gluten free as is on menu and are AMAZING!! Many options like gf pastas and other dishes

Service was great and there were plenty of gluten free options! Great overall!

What a find. Food was delicious. Fried calamari, fried cheese curds and fish and chips. Very knowledgeable and super friendly. A must try. We will be back. Very reasonably priced. Visit during happy hour for half price appetizers.

Delicious! Did not get sick.

Celiac friendly?

They seem to understand Gluten Free importance. (Is says they have a dedicated fryer) and their menu has a key specifying when it's already gf and a different key for if it can be modified to gf. We tried deviled eggs, gf fish and chips and gf pasta. No reaction from anything and the food was very good!

the GF menue is large and varied. dedicated fryer and gf pasta offers a wonderful and delicious dining experience. very knowledgable staff! highly recommend!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I ate at Louie's Wine Dive on 119th and Metcalf. I went on a Sunday night, so it wasn't busy. When we sat down, without my even asking, the waitress went and asked the chef if the specials were gf. Yes, except one dessert. They never fry anything with gluten. I had fish and chips and it was soooo yummy! Lots of things on the menu are gf or easy to make gf. Lots of understanding of gf and cc.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very cautious and DELICIOUS. It felt like I was normal for once

This is the first time I’ve gone out since having to become gluten-free for medical reasons. The staff were very helpful and I loved that everything that was breaded and fried was gluten free. Pretty much any sandwich can be made gluten free for no extra cost as well as nearly every pasta for just $2. My server also made sure to double check that the kitchen had given me the correct bun before giving me my food. Food was delicious and I will definitely be returning to try more of their menu.

Sadly after 4 years of loving GF squeaky cheese and Champaign battered fish I have to turn my back forever. 2 trips in March & April 2022 both ended up in severe contamination. Management claims no changes to cooking. So sad.

Sometimes it’s fantastic, sometimes it’s just okay. I do really enjoy many of their dishes. The squeaky cheese, calamari, and prosciutto mac n cheese are some of my favorites.
