    Stopped in on a Sunday after there was not a lot of traffic while I was there. The bar staff was very helpful with suggestions of what beer the had based on what you like. I ordered a Quesadilla from the food menu. It came out in a short amount of time. What a good filling of ingredients and good flavor. Staff said that they do have an entertainment area next door that they have live bands.

    When I visit Transparent Brewing, I can tell that it's a popular local spot. While great for locals, I think its proximity to Interstate 49 makes it the perfect pit stop for someone passing through on a road trip. The tap list has a great variety of beer styles and all of the beers are well made. The beertenders are knowledgeable and it sounds like they also have a hand in the brewing process. Something like that always adds to the brewery experience. On some days they have specials. I've seen a BOGO discount for beer to go. The patio is great when the weather permits. I'll continue to frequent this place as often as a I can because I love it.

    We LOVED our visit here. Amazing food, drinks, and service. We live about 40 mins away and found this place passing through and will definitely make our way back. The nachos were amazing and the touch of homemade tortilla chips kept them crunchy & irresistible. The burrito with a cheese skirt my husband got also looked next level. The beers were also super refreshing!

    We came in for lunch at the attached farm to market cafe and stumbled on to Transparent. Group tried Garage Saisson, porter and stout. Everybody loved their brews . Zach let us try possible choices before making our big decisions. Not only the staff but even the local patrons were friendly. Would go out of my way to stop here again.

    Drinks are good and local. The weekend special is a great. Open garage doors that create a nice vibe. Good service as well.

    We did a take out order, food was hot, fresh and was really good. Next time we'll dine in to try their beers.

    I've been here multiple times now after a friend told me about it. If you're looking for some…read moreauthentic Latin food I'd recommend this spot. The staff is friendly and are always checking in on you. They have great paintings that make the place stand out and makes you feel like you're actually sitting in a Mexican home having lunch. I do want to note though that some of their seats and floors are pretty old and worn out. The bathroom was also clean. So after you're seated, they give you chips and salsa. I'm not a big fan of chips and salsa but when you're coming in extremely hungry, it serves as a a great appetizer. I love their big beer cup of horchata! I love horchata and the fact that they're not stingy on their serving, automatically gives them a good rating in my book. They have both a vegan and a regular menus, which once again is great because they care about their customers regardless of their diet, allergens, or preferences. On this day we had the cecina platter, birria beef street tacos, and the vegan tacos de canasta. Their mojara frita (fried fish) is also an amazing dish! Overall the food was delicious and we all left pretty satisfied and full. We will continue coming here until we find a reason not to.

    This has been one of my favorite spots for years. I was initially brought in for their vast vegan…read moreoptions but I've tried several of their non vegan options and they are also up to par. They have several vegan protein options to choose from which is something I hardly see in the entire KC area. Parking is plentiful in the back and there is a back entrance in addition to the front. It's always quick seating and service. It's very warm and friendly inside and the portions are huge and very reasonably priced, I think this last visit is the first I've ever gone without leftovers because we split between 3 of us. The menu is huge but the servers are always more than happy to help and answer questions. This last visit we ordered the molcajete and it was incredible I highly recommend trying it with company.

The service was okay! Nothing super special but they answered questions and were helpful at the counter. This was our first time here so we ordered a few things to sample and share amongst ourselves. The first thing we had was the chips and queso, which I thought was a bit expensive at $7.99 but not too bad. The queso was fairly spicy but otherwise nothing special. I usually love queso so it surprised me how neutral I felt toward it! The chips were good, thin and light with a crispy bite to them. We unfortunately didn't get to try the salsa, noticing only at the end of our meal that there was a sauce bar near the counter! The birria tacos were also...okay. They were very juicy but not very uniquely flavored compared to everything else we tried. The meat was tender and I loved the texture of the tortilla, but didn't care for the massive handful of cilantro dropped on top of everything on the plate. The dipping liquid (birria sauce?) was alright! It was the same flavor as the tacos themselves so it didn't add much, but it definitely wasn't bad. The "main course" of what we ordered was a combo of soft chicken tacos, rice, and beans. The chicken tacos were unfortunately very cold by the time we got them which was a bit strange, as almost everything else was hot! They tasted good but I'm really not a fan of eating cold chicken, so I passed them off to my friends. The beans were just okay. There's really not much to say about them. The rice also left me disappointed! I typically devour Spanish rice. Not only was it cold, there were also odd, hard grains of rice mixed in. Not enough to get one every bite but enough that the experience of eating it was off-putting. It was also quite bland. Another note: While we were eating, there was this constant loud droning coming from the air conditioner. I'm a MASSIVE fan of air conditioning so I'm grateful it was on in the first place, but that is something they really need to get fixed. Two women seated near us actually got up and walked outside after commenting multiple times about how disturbing the noise was. My experience here was definitely a mixed bag but it leaned toward the positive, so we'll likely try them again! They had several other menu items I'd like to try, including some American fare that I found intriguing.
