    How could I eat here and not do a Yelp? I admit, I got it door dashed good from Chick-in-waffle when I'm 5 minutes away. The order was still warm and I enjoyed it. I loved the bubble waffle and wished I had ordered another. It was crispy and delicious. Albeit huge. The chicken was better seasoned than Crane's and I really enjoyed it. I ordered a second piece of chicken, thinking it was a chicken finger. It's not. It's almost an entire meal I do wish I'd gotten a second waffle. I don't trust restaurant maple syrup to be 100%, so I use mine. I ordered a frozen strawberry drink. This might have been ordering it from DoorDash, it was mostly melted. I've ordered slushies from other places, they are frozen. I'm so close to Chick in Waffle and will be ordering or visiting there again (and probably on repeat.)

    Mr. G. And I tried out Chick-in-Waffle tonight for dinner. I had the KC Chicken with a Bubble Waffle. Mr. G. Had the Memphis Chicken in a bunch, which comes with fries. The food was meh. Both Mr. G. and I thought the coating on the chicken was too hot, and the only flavor we got was paprika. Mr. G. Was more critical of his sandwich in that he thought it needed more coleslaw and would have liked to have a side of coleslaw. We both agreed the fries were excellent. My bubble waffle was good, but I doo wish I would have gone with the Belgian waffle. The BBQ sauce was KC Masterpiece, like. Service is order at the counter, and they bring it out to your table. They were speedy. The ambiance was somewhat industrial and drafty. There were three separate families and groups that sat at a table, then left to find different seating. We were pleased they had normal size chairs and tables and not booths. They also had bistro table seating, which I no longer find comfortable.

    The restaurant is in a great location! Across the street from Costco in Independence. There was plenty of parking, and it's in a nice strip mall, next to Crumbl Cookies! The restaurant has slick painted floors, the chairs are slippery against the floor, so be careful. They didn't have soda, the pop machine was not working. They had slushy frozen lemonade that was incredible. They had other types of teas, but no sugar packets and no artificial sweetener to offer. The water dispenser dispensed air temp water, and when you are looking forward to a cold drink, it's not a good thing. They did give me a cup with a few ice cubes, but I really wish their pop machine was working! The food: eh... I would venture to guess that their desserts are great, their waffles were crisp on the perimeter, but the glaze on the chicken made the rest of the waffle very soggy. More concerning was the texture of the chicken. I prefer fresh chicken that is breaded and fried. This chicken tasted like it was warmed up in the oven. I wasn't sure if these patties were a constructed patty or if they were a chicken breast that was filleted. It didn't have the right texture for fresh chicken. I enjoyed the parmesan flavor, but only for the first few bites. Fries were cold. For the Canadian Buffalo, these patties were topped with syrup-Buffalo sauce, cheese and chives. Again, on top of a waffle that was soggy. My husband wasn't able to even have more than 1 bite. It was extremely spicy, and the aftertaste was bitter. I did take my left overs home, but after driving in the car with them, I noticed a very distinct smell of bad oil. I threw away the leftovers. So why 3 stars and not 1? The service was good, the restaurant was clean, it was busy and people appeared as if they were having fun. The staff were very nice! They tried! The decor was fun, and I wish our dinners were up to par. I will probably try this place again, and I will order dessert this time. I also want to try their loaded fries. Price points: it was $30 including tip for 2 meals and a frozen lemonade, register prompts for 25%, 20% ,15% or custom. It's hard to tip prior to receiving food and service. Again; I will be back, and I will try a different item..

    very good service, loaded fries are always the best. very clean and friendly atmosphere.

    This place was so good! They have the friendliest staff who greet you when you walk in and check on you while you are eating to make sure everything is good, which it was so good. My husband and I got the Garlic Parmesan Sandwich meal and Chick-in Queso waffle and shared everything. Let's start with the Chick-in Queso Waffle. This was so delicious. We got the bubble waffle that had the perfect crispy and fluffy parts all together. The chicken was juicy and crispy and everything was a good balance of sweet and savory. The Sandwich meal was equally as good as the waffle. It had an amazing garlic parm sauce that made this sandwich. The fries were also absolutely delicious especially with the garlic parm sauce. We will definitely be going back to try different things

    Good quality chicken and I really like the bubble waffle. My son got the chicken strips and it was really good. Huge chicken strips and the fries were perfectly crispy. They also make their own chicken sauce and it's basically a better version of Cane's sauce. Service was fast and everyone was super nice. The interior is all KC themed and I always love supporting KC grown businesses.

    Decent food but missing a few key things. I visited on a Friday night and the place was not too busy. Service was quick and staff were friendly. I like the patio seating which gave a little upgrade to their laid back vibe. The Asian chili chicken was not crispy enough for me. I like extra crispy breading to enjoy that crunch in every bite. There also was not enough sauce for me. If I'm getting chicken tossed in sauce I want it all over my plate to really savor the flavor. The bubble waffle to me did not have as much sweetness as I'd like but I understand that this may have been to not draw too much away from the chicken flavor. Overall, I do think it's worth a try for their unique combinations.

    Cheddars will always be one of my favorite restaurants…read more The food was definitely the highlight. We ordered the chicken wraps and battered fish, and both were really good. The chicken wraps were flavorful, fresh, and filling without being too heavy, and the fish was cooked just right--crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. You can tell they put effort into making things taste homemade rather than rushed. The atmosphere was comfortable and relaxed, making it a good spot to sit down and enjoy a meal without feeling hurried. Service was also solid--friendly, attentive, and everything came out in a reasonable time. Overall, this location really delivered on both quality and experience. If you're looking for a casual place with consistently good food, this Cheddar's is definitely worth a visit. I'd happily come back again.

    I went to this Cheddar's for the first time ever (and my first step in a Cheddar's in probably 10…read moreyears) recently. Honestly, I did not have high expectations. My experience definitely exceeded the average Yelp rating. The food was solid and we had good service. They were extremely busy, but the bartender/server ordered a round of rolls on the house for the bar area for the long wait. It is a bit loud inside if that's not your thing, and there are TVs that were playing college basketball. I'm often in the area for KC Mavs games and would not hesitate to return.

The menu is MASSIVE! I would recommend previewing it on its website rather than being overwhelmed by all of the choices. I ordered the Tri-Tip-Dip Deluxe. The ciabatta was fabulous. The beef tender. I loved the grilled onions, mushrooms and Swiss cheese option. VERY GOOD! I had delicious sweet potato fries. Awesome! Creamy inside and crispy crunch on the outside. Best sweet potato fries I've had yet in the KCMO area. My husband enjoyed Bob's Big Burger Deluxe with Blue Cheese. He shared a bite with me. The burger was JUICY and grilled to perfection. He chose French fries and scarfed 'em up. I would happily have given this place a five star review. But for some reason, 90% of the patrons were all seated in one area - OUR area. While our sweet server was running her tail off, attempting to meet all of our and others needs, three servers were chit chatting in plain sight. I blame the manager on duty for lacking organizational discipline. #btw - the sandwiches were so large, we will order just one next time and share! This first visit, we were able to enjoy our leftovers the next day for lunch.

    Great Diner, delicious grits, and fantastic service…read more Prices are fair and portions are huge. I got the chicken avocado club, and it was real chicken that didn't taste like the typical processed crap. The burger was excellent and cooked to order. We live around the corner, so we'll definitely be back.

I was finally acknowledged by the only waitress who seems to be actually doing her job. she stated I could sit anywhere, I proceeded to find a seat where I again waited a while for anyone to come to my table. the original girl who told me to sit anywhere came and asked me if I had been helped and I told he I had not. She went and got my drink and told me my waitress was busy and would be with me soon. my waitress was lousy was very short and quick with me as if I was less important than the only other table she was taking care of. I ordered the steak and potatoes with fries. She never came and checked with me until she brought my order where I had to proceed to tell her I needed another drink as soon as she put my plate on her table all I heard was does it look ok and she was gone again. The steak I understand is not from a steak restaurant but was bland as if the only thing done was throw it on the grill even through I'm pretty sure a garlicky butter was supposed to be on top, no flavor no offer of steak sauce and in my opinion only time you use steak sauce if the steak isn't done well and it truly wasn't. I felt like an unwanted guest. I asked her about if any seasoning was used on steak she said she didn't know and at that point I was done. I gave her cash and left. I was extremely disappointed by the atmosphere, treatment by waitress, and the lack of any customer service except by a single waitress who wasn't my waitress.
