Game was in PRISTINE condition (sleeved AND with containers for the extra pieces), pour was heavy, I had a choice of double table seating but didn’t feel deserted by any means. 10/10 would recommend for no-host game night in the future.
Also, I lost 88 to 91 in one player Wyrmspan

I had plans to meet up with some girlfriends for dinner and they wanted to go to the Public Market. I’m vegan, so I always scout menus before going anywhere and I saw an appetizing bowl labeled vegan, but when I got there tonight it was no longer on the menu. The person working there said they had just removed it, but that they could make the vegetarian bowl vegan with a couple modifications. Immediately my expectations lowered because that left the meal consisting of potatoes, onions, bell peppers, salsa and guac. I try not to be too picky when I dine at places that kindly try to accommodate, but it was one of the worst meals I’ve ever had.
The guac was some weird paste-textured avocado spread that tasted wildly expired and the potatoes reflected the name of the place, they were grossly dried out cardboard chunks. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised the the potatoes were just leftover from ones they prepared 5 hours before. Wildly disappointing, especially for the cost and tip that I gave.
I was so hungry that I ate over half of it, but I instantly started to feel nauseated and here I am 2 hours later still with a very sour stomach burping that crap up.
The atmosphere and staff were lovely, but the food is atrocious. I can’t believe they think sending something like that out from the kitchen is acceptable.
Wish I could get my money back.

0 stars all around. There pulling frozen Tyson patties out a bag and waffles in the microwave. Couldn’t even swallow a bite. Rancid food. Boasting chicken and waffles on their menu. I’d rather eat baby food from a jar.

The right vibe for a public space, encouraging community play. It models the values of the PUBLIC market where it’s located.
+More food options than the OP location
-louder environment during busy hours can affect some game play and auditory sensitive types.

I come here regularly with the Kansas City Game Designers group to playtest each others’ games and give feedback. The atmosphere is fun, open, clean, and very accommodating for playing any kind of board game! Although I haven’t tried much of the food at this specific location and their game selection is fairly limited. The staff is also generally friendly and very helpful and gracious for letting us play upstairs.

5 stars for atmosphere, 5 stars for service, 0 stars for food.
I ordered the chicken and waffles. As a man who has very simple expectations from waffles, I was very disappointed. It was soft and floppy, no crunch and no flavor. The chicken was mediocre at best, especially given the +$10 price range. Trust me when I say this, you would be better off making Kellogg’s Eggo waffles.
However, the service was good. They also have board games which is cool.
I would come back again, but only for the free board games.

Awesome addition to the Public Market, can’t believe I haven’t reviewed them before! Free board games, friendly faces, fun food. Try the boba teas, or a D&D-themed cocktail! A lot of people don’t realize they have a good bar menu. Also can’t go wrong with a loaded baked-potato waffle!

Waffles were freezer burnt super dry, the pork looks like it was dehydrated and didn’t look like pulled pork the coleslaw was terrible

You’d expect this place to be delicious, right? Waffles aren’t that difficult to make.
I got the chicken and waffles. Their waffles are very strange, they are dry and chalky. Their chicken was cold and soggy. I’m disappointed that with an entire kitchen, the food is still subpar. The price for it is also ridiculous.
Also got a cookies and creme cake pop, took two bites and threw it away. Burnt chocolate and a soggy waffle.
The menu looks so good, then when the food comes out it tastes like a frozen microwaved meal. Would not recommend.

Such a shame that this location is such a different experience than at their full location. I ordered a waffle from the new corner cafe and it was not edible, which, as someone whose waffle standards are pretty basic, mean that it was really bad, guys. It was clearly frozen, and nearly crumbled as soon as I touched it. Even drowned in syrup it was dry as paper. This place has a very cool concept and atmosphere, a great selection of games, but man the food is just awful. Please improve the quality and this would be such an easy win!
