A family diner where the employees playfully (sometimes) bickering with each other passes for meal entertainment. The menu is typical comfort foods, including any time breakfast. Our server was on top of it, returning multiple times to refill drinks and make sure we had what we needed. No complaints with the food nor the pricing, which is one of the benefits of diners -- tasty, filling food at reasonable portions and prices. read more

nothing screams, old-school as loud as the englwood Café I freaking love it Large portions, solid stick to your ribs food I'm not sure if the staff are long lost uncles and aunts but they sure treat me that way And when I say that I mean in a good way Thank you, Inglewood Café and if you're ever in that area, it is a must go read more

Food and service excellent! Everyone is friendly and the food is always good. Great please

The food was cold. But that wasn't the worst part about it. When we got in there was a wait which is fine, Sunday after church. I was trying to find a place to stand out of the way of the waitresses moving in and out. Instead of just saying "excuse me" like a normal human being "get out of my way" is being yelled at me. I then said "please don't yell at me" someone at the counter said "one more attitude remark and you'll be kicked out" I was not the only person this was said to. Every time we go on Sundays there always seems to be a problem with the attitude of the servers. Probably won't go back any time soon. read more

I was here a few weekend ago. I should mention on this particular day we had a group of seven people, they looked busy for 9am waitresses were rushing around. The three adults of the group, ordered biscuits and gravy, one person in-particular tried their food as soon as the waitress sat it on the food down. When I tried mine, I was asked by the other person, if my food was cold. It was in fact all of the biscuits and gravy meals were cold. We sent them back, and when they came back they weren't that much better. I would love to say they were having an off day, however I can't because the visit was the first in a long time. read more

The food was great. I had the Border skillet chicken fajita. The waitress's were pleasant. The atmosphere was like at grandmas house. read more

The atmosphere is a bit rustic/old timey, but the food isn't bad. There are two entrances, both at the front and side, which can be confusing. I had the tenderloin, of which there are four, depending on what size and sides you choose. Very tasty. And the waitress was very nice. But on previous visits I had sides which I'm sure came right out of a can. The prices aren't bad, either. Not dirt cheap, but not as expensive as most local sit-down restaurants. read more

Home style cooking. Lots of food for the price. I had a burger & onion rings, 1 kid had a shrimp basket with curly fries, spouse had the meatloaf with a big roll, mashed taters & gravy, corn, & green beans, other kid had a salad. The place has definitely been around a few years as I've heard about it for years but had never been. As a bonus: There's a short story on the menu about its history. Food is good. Ambience is more simple diner, not flashy. Service was good and a lot of regular customers. read more

Nice little out of the beaten path restaurant with good food. Kinda a pain to find but well worth the search. Once you've been , you'll come back. Great service and wait staff. I go as much as I can, one of the better reasons to visit independence mo. read more

Good is great, service is attentive, love the hometown ambiance of a small town diner with big town taste!

It's a diner and dive with great people and good comfort food. Leave room for pie or take it home for later.

Great food,but angelina has a shitty attitude towards me at times and I'm not understanding why ..I have had no other issues but feel her discontent... read more

You can't go wrong with this place! If you want home style cooking , friendly staff and clean restaurant. This is your place. I've eaten here so many times I lost count. Never been disappointed and if you have personality you'll love it here. Check it out! read more

On word GREAT. Had breakfast and did not leave hungry. Will definitely be back when I am back in town.

Service is good and served with a smile. Food is usually good - what you would expect for a diner. They do offer breakfast all the time and you can't go wrong with an omelet. It's not exact ally a place that has ambiance. It's just a typical old time diner that has had an update for quite awhile. Their burgers taste good and the giant tenderloin is the best tasting meat I've ever had, just lightly breaded. It's a place you can go and relax and have some "home cooked" style food. read more

Simple, wholesome food. Their biscuits and gravy are worth the drive. Their lunch specials are filling and always a pleaser. Good old-fashioned service. read more

An update to my earlier review, when I went there last time they were closed at 8am, I found out it was due to equipment issues, I have been back since that time and had a great breakfast, five star service and food. read more

I love all of the waitresses I have been going there for 5 months or so now and they got my order down completel. I love miss Cassie she is always lightening my mood in the morning along with the bus lady who wears royals outfits! they all have their own little goofy entrances and stuff. I would highly su this place to everyone especially on a bad day! they always are very friendly and they love to see you smile! thank you Miss Cassie for making me smile and all the rest of the staff to! read more

Ordered crispy hash browns with my breakfast but they were drowning in grease and nowhere near crispy... waitress said that's how all the hash browns are.... she said it would take 15-20 minutes if I wanted to send them back, I eat breakfast twice a week and order crispy hash browns and their crispy..so they charged me $3.28 for half a cup of coffee and I went to McDonald's. I am shocked they charged me for the coffee. And I was having a great morning till the cook ruined it read more

Definitely better than it looks from the outside. I knew as a long time resident it was well reviewed but I just never got around to trying. Now that I did I've been back several times! The foods great the service even better! It can get busy and even the best have a slip but this is solid Independence hospitality! read more

Englewood Cafe is your typical, old school diner with food that delivers. Their tenderloin is bigger than your face and perfectly fried, their cheeseburgers are well seasoned and cooked to perfection, their curly fries are *chef's kiss* and they have a pie menu that is as plentiful as their pies are delicious. Highly recommend if you're in the mood for old school, amazing diner food. read more

Tried this little cafe( at least it was probably little at one time). I had a giant tenderloin ( actual name, they also have a regular one. I ordered that along with a box. It would have fed a small family, but it was very tasty! The wait staff there is very quick and very nice. Many regulars came in and they knew what they normally ordered. Unfortunately, I rarely get to this side of town or I would go back often. It is a very quaint old fashion cafe feel to it. Very comfortable. read more

Excellent pancakes, fun family atmosphere with regular customers who servers banter back and forth with. I would be that "regular customer" if I lived here. read more

Service was good. There was a bug (not going to say what it was) crawling on our table. Give the food 3 out of 10

All to gether I will neverever eat at the dirty,and unfriendly restaurant againFood was cold and not to

Don't go lol. Too good don't wanna upset you. But this place aint for your kind. Great food.

Love this place. This is like eating in a small town diner where they know how to make you feel "at home". Great service, good prices and a hefty portion of food. read more

Was a nice little place for breakfast or lunch . Service was spot on, waitstaff were on the job !! May return in the future, never know. Was pleasantly surprised by the whole thing. Didn't take any pics , will do next time. read more

While waffle house won't seat you until 7am, folks down here will gladly assist you as soon as they open their doors. Portions are much larger than expected, so order accordingly! Food tasted great and my server refilled my drinks every few minutes. It's a bummer that I'm flying back home today, otherwise I'd stop again for another great meal. read more

I went in around 7am, 9/12 I had been advise that they had good breakfast. However when I went in there I wasn't greeted. But the ppl behind us wh where. I stood there waiting and a young lady with short brown hair who was the waitress passed me and attended to EVERYONE else except for the brown ppl which was me and my daughter after 20mins of waiting on her to acknowledge me I looked at her in her face and she continued ignoring us.... I only stayed for her to try an correct the rudness but she was blatantly racist. My daughter was shocked about this behavior because she was just saying she never felt with racism. I WOULDNT RECOMMEND ANYONE TO COME HERE. it was even clean and the cook had no cloves on. What a waste read more

Always a great little diner with the best breakfast around at reasonable prices. A must stop if you are hungry for biscuits and gravy.

This place has the feel of a local diner and a regular spot for the neighborhood. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Everyone tried a burger and I'd have to say the consensus was that they were excellent. The portion size was good and everything tasted fresh. The French fries were extra, but everyone seemed to think they were worth it. Overall, we thought the prices were reasonable and the food was wonderful! We also thought that most of the dishes we were seeing on other tables looked good, which always makes you want to come back for more! read more

Love this place. I have a good experience every time I go in to eat. They know me by my name and face. They know my order normally right away. Overall a fantastic place to eat! read more

I only gave 3 stars because the last time I was there, I was disappointed. I have previously been very satisfied in the past but I noticed changes in the kitchen have had negative effect. The last time I was there, I ordered an omelet and the vegetables in the omelet were raw. That is a rookie cook mistake. Additionally, American Cheese was used in the omelet, when I asked the waitress she informed me that unless I specify, they use American cheese. That shows me, little pride in your product, using the cheapest cheese product in the omelet. read more

Have been going here for ten years. The breakfast are great and I don't think they have raised the prices too much over the ten years. Always feel like you just came home when you walk in. read more

Grew up down the street and love this place! The chicken fried steak is huge and tasty! A breakfast diner that takes you back to your happy place! read more

I love the food but the staff needs to wear masks. I would guess 90% of their clientele is over 60 and go there several times a week. It is IRRESPONSIBLE not to wear a mask. read more
