The food is made to order, so it did come out hot and fresh. We also ordered two shakes, and if you enjoy really thick milkshakes you can eat with a spoon (not sip through a straw), you'll probably like them. The staff was friendly and efficient, but overall, I don't feel the quality matched the price. I'm not sure I'd visit again.

I had heard they made loose beef cheeseburgers and they are good. I drove to Mugs Up Drive In. I looked for a drive through but realized people parked and waited to be served. I parked near the menu. It's only viewable at the back of Mugs Up. I found it odd., The server walked to my car immediately. I ordered. I waited probably less than five or seven minutes. Out came the food: plain Whiz burger, fried mushrooms, medium root beer. They gave the best root beer anywhere. They make their own. Quickly home. The Whiz burger was phenomenal, considering it was my first cheeseburger in months. The fried mushrooms were the best I had. Root beer was the best. The only regret, I didn't order a black cow which is a root beer float. I'll do that next time. The server was helpful and pleasant. Serving parked vehicles quickly. It was super delicious.

My review is, for me, the burger,its not that good, its just not for me. My expectation was, they had the "IT FACTOR" for the burgers. Something you would have expected from the day, 60/70 years ago. The old larger bun, not biscuit size, grilled burger meat, mine seemed losely patted and steamed and more than pickle, onion and mustard. Maybe thats just the way its always been and others love it. Im glad I went but it is a one stop for me. I wish you another 70 years of continued service and a great icon of Independence, Mo.

The employees have most always been friendly even when overwhelmed with orders and work swiftly to get orders out. However, that friendly atmosphere changed today with Ms. Leslie who is apparently a "manager". We ordered two #4 bowls- and immediately received a "go to hell" look from Leslie like she was annoyed. In the midst of ordering, everybody's phones went off for an amber alert. Leslie reached into her pocket with gloved hands, messed with her phone, stuck her phone back in her pocket and then reached into the lettuce with the same gloved hand and placed lettuce in our bowls. My husband then kindly advised both bowls would be "mikes way" but with no onion or tomato on one. Leslie looked up and said "I just do the meat! You can tell them when they make it!" My husband immediately left the store as to not cause a scene for how rude she was. A young man who I think was new (as I'd never seen him before), dressed our bowls. He first started to chop the meat. Leslie had come from behind the counter standing near me, and saw him chopping the meat first. She muttered something to him, then went behind the counter and very sternly told him "the meat goes on last!". I very quickly spoke up, looked at her and said there was no issue and it was fine. This young man was kind and professional throughout the entire process. (Our bowls were perfect!) As for the meat going on last? Since when?? I order a bowl EVERY time I'm in and EVERY time the meat goes on first! If the meat is "supposed" to go on last, I will always make sure the meat goes on first. As the same young man rang up my food to pay, I reassured him everything was fine and explained that EVERY time they put the meat on first so I don't know what that woman is talking about! I asked for this woman's name as the entire staff seemed on edge with her. They were very hesitant to give her name. I somewhat demanded her name, asking for somebody to give me her name and another young man asked whose name I wanted- he said it was Leslie. He asked if everything was okay? I thanked him and exited the store. Leslie was extremely rude and unprofessional the entire time we were there. If this is your manager- please reevaluate who you've hired. The way she snapped at my husband causing him to walk out is unacceptable. The way she spoke to the employee was unprofessional. There's a right way and a wrong way to teach- and this wasn't it. I would hate to see how she speaks to employees when there are no customers. And lastly, the lack of food safety from a "manager" is appalling and extremely concerning. I should have stopped her and requested ALL the lettuce be tossed for the safety of all customers. Shame on me for not speaking up. I haven't worked in food services for over 20+ years, and that's just the basics- she should absolutely know better. I'm not saying we won't return, but I sure hope Leslie has a better attitude if we cross paths again, and I recommend that she either take or renew her food handlers permit promptly because she seems to have forgotten the very basics.

It's hard to decide which is better, the owner, Miss Chewy, or the crazy amazing food! All I know is that if you haven't tried GOCHEW, you are sorely missing out. For those that might shy away from different cuisines, this is the perfect place to dip your toes into something outside the box!

We met at Café Cà Phê's four-year anniversary…read more I came around the corner and there they were. We locked eyes. I couldn't believe they were staring right at me. For a brief moment, I thought I heard music. There was a DJ, actually. But that's not how I remember it. I remember the bus. Yellow and black, impossible not to notice. Anime artwork stretched across the side. Go Chew Burger. At the window, someone was waiting who was every bit as inviting as the aroma coming out of that heavenly little bus. I started looking over the menu, and there, winking at me, was the GOCHEW Burger. They mentioned the double patty. I hesitated. "We won't tell anybody." Two patties it was. They also talked me through the kimchi: fresh or charred. They gave me enough information to make me feel like I was making all the decisions. Double patty. Charred kimchi. Loaded fries. I was all in. While I waited, I did what anyone with an infatuation does: research. I learned about Joohae "Chewy" Yoon and what she's trying to do with GOCHEW--take Korean flavors and put them into foods people already know. Burgers. Fries. Familiar food carrying something new. Then the buzzer went off. Time for our first date. No chairs. No tables. Things were getting a little awkward, so we went back to the car. The fries had lost their crispness to the sauces and steam, but I didn't care. The Korean BBQ sauce was sweet and savory, the gochujang brought mild heat, the creamy lime sauce cut through it all, and the bright green chives pulled everything together. Incredible. But the burger? Perfectly crisped edges. Juicy, hot beef. Melted cheese. Charred kimchi bringing sweetness and acidity. Three sauces that somehow never fought for attention. And the bun had a serious responsibility. Two patties. Cheese. Kimchi. Three sauces. Everything depended on it. Spider-Man protects New York and everyone who depends on him. This bun had the same problem. With great power comes great responsibility. And it held. Mostly. The attraction was still there. The infatuation was still there. But they had become something else entirely. Love. This wasn't just a good burger. This is the best smash burger I've had in Kansas City. Chewy set out to make people fall in love with Korean food by putting those flavors into things they already know. I think she got me.

Hi-Boy is a small burger spot with no seating inside and NO DRIVE THRU, which I find charming. It harkens back to the 50s when it was first opened and even has a neon sign that looks great at night. But the whole visit here was about the burger, and while they don't have bacon here, the burger was cooked to perfection. With just a bit of char around the edges for a crunch and a flavorful and juicy middle of the patty would've been enough to get a great review. But Hi-Boy also makes an AMAZING French fry that I couldn't get enough of. This spot is a very long drive from my house, but that's not going to stop me from visiting again and again.

The food itself, from the namesake burgers to the tenderloin sandwiches to the fries and onion rings; everything is just good and priced well. It's not Culver's level elite, but it's a nice step up from the McDonald's of the world. It comes out hot and is always right. The staff is always friendly and they move quickly.
