The Sundry on Small Business Saturday
12:02 AMI was so excited to try The Sundry, so we went here for my brother-in-law, Matt's birthday on Small Business Saturday. Located in the Crossroads District in Kansas City, The Sundry specializes in locally sourced dishes. One half of the Sundry is a market and the other half is a food counter. You can order food and pay at the counter and eat at long communal tables.
Before eating we perused the market side of The Sundry and looked at locally made products. They carry our favorite Vegan Tamales from the Mean Green.
They carried Shatto and some pre-packaged deli items.
We all ordered different foods Cuban Sandwich, Smoked Chicken Bowl, Italian Beef Sandwich, Sweet Chili Pork, and Roasted Potatoes.
I love food, but I took 2 bites of my Italian Beef Sandwich and then threw the rest away. The other girls did not enjoy their food either. The boys finished their food. My sister and my friend complained that her dish was very bland. I didn't have bland food, my sandwich was full of fat, which turns my stomach.
Thankfully I remembered that the market side of The Sundry had prepackaged sides. I went and picked up a small container of pasta salad. It was very good.
The pasta salad was good, but the Italian Beef Sandwich was the grossest.
2) Atmosphere / Vibe
The Sundry has a nice, laid back easy going vibe.
The cashier answered all of our questions, but the menu board lacked adequate descriptions. You order and pay your food at the counter and when it's ready they call your name.
4) Sources
They make all food from local sources. BLT was on the online menu but the cashier said that they took the BLT off the menu since they couldn't source tomatoes locally.
5) Drinks
The fountain was weird, but I ordered water. I disliked that water is served in self-serve plastic cups.
The crowd was sparse. My sister said as we were leaving that we should have taken it as a sign that the place was completely dead at 6pm on a Saturday night.
7) Menu
The menu is limited which is nice and not
8) Price
I paid about $7 - $9 for each dish. We each purchased 2 dishes a person and left satisfied. Thankfully, I had enough cash on-hand, since FüD does not accept credit cards.
9) Dining
Indoor seating and to-go food can be ordered from the food counter.
10) Location / Parking
The Sundry is located at 17th & Baltimore of the Crossroads District of Kansas City. The parking is wonderful on the weekends because no one is there and the area is pretty empty on the weekends.

NET:
Would I return? Yes, but only for the market.
Would I recommend to others? No
Best food ordered: Pre-packaged pasta salad from the cooler on the market side. The best thing about this place is that it's farm to table.
What needs improvement: The food is bland and very fatty.
Pro-Tip: Only get food food from the market side
