    I feel like I have been missing out. There isn't a Taco John's anywhere near my home, but if this place is any indication of the yummyness, then how can any other fast food texmex place compete? Have I eaten Taco John's before? I'm sure I have... but it's been years enough that I can't remember. The staff was friendly and helpful (especially since I wasn't sure what to order). The menu was fairly simple, which I appreciated. The place was clean and well lit and well stocked. We went a bit later than the dinner rush, but there was a steady stream of people and drive through traffic. We got our food, and, well, yum! After a day of working on a home renovation, it was just the carby protein goodness that I needed! I messaged a friend a picture, and their first response was "potato oles!!" I honestly thought they looked like the round coin shaped tater tots from a public school lunch I might get with my kids, but they tasted oh so much better than that! I recommend! If you want a quick yummy slightly-messy carby protein meal, then go here!

    We stopped at this location for lunch with great anticipation for a nice meal (the Blue Springs location was closed for good over a year ago) I was craving a Taco Bravo. I ordered one and a taco burger. What I was served was not even what would call edible!!! The taco burger had apparently shrunk by 2 full inches in diameter... darn the pesky economy. Not sure when it shrank, perhaps during the pandemic, or after the elections... who knows. No matter, it was not only quite smaller than I remember, but it was cold, the bun was wrinkled & tough - as though It spent one too many minutes in the microwave; and the meat was non existent. A sorry excuse for a sandwich of any type. The Taco Bravo, wasn't "bravo" at all... it was a cold, cracked total mess. The only edible food item was the side of Potato Oles we'd ordered. At least they were hot and fresh. This place was a huge disappointment! And by the way... when we entered the lobby, we'd noticed that half of the tables were all stacked against the front windows of the dining area, and the chairs were placed upside down on top of those tables. I wondered if they were even open. I do not recommend stopping at this location at any time. Hopefully soon, they'll identify and resolve all these issues... otherwise, I doubt they'll stay in business here very much longer.

    When out of town we like to try something new...weather its fast food or restaurant. Service was good, place is clean and freezing cold...as for the food...when your really hungry it works....would be much better if they could crisp up the burrito. Potato rounds were good.

    Stopped at the Taco Johns on Noland at 1pm on a Friday, but Ive stopped here numerous times when Im in the area. Today they were super rushed and short staffed, so i just kinda hung out a bit while they struggled in the kitchen. My mobile order was ready quickly, and the food was served nicely. It could have been a bit warmer. The lobby was pretty clean, especially as short-staffed as they seemed today. This is one of the few places where you can find Cherry Pepsi in the fountain. Overall, compared to other fast tex-mex chains in the area, you'll probably have a decent experience here.

    Below is a photo of what $6 gets you at Taco John's. Food was overdone and tasted awful. Also customer service is non-existent. Might as well just go to the McDonald's next door

    Delicious golden potato oles, bean burritos, and a side of guac.

    I'm a die hard Taco John's fan. Forget about Taco Bell and Taco Bueno. Taco John's is the only fast food taco place I need. I wish one would open up in the Johnson county area. Like OP or Mission. I need one closer to home!! The food was tasty and fresh. I ordered my burritos with no cheese and they arrived with no cheese! I usually go into fast food restaurants expecting any "customized" orders to be wrong once delivered, so this was a pleasant surprise. The potato oles were perfectly seasoned and crispy. This is important since potato oles are what make TJs stand out. The staff was friendly. My family's order was correct and they delivered it to our table. The place was clean when we were there. It was during the lunch hour, so it was busy. I didn't notice any dirty tables or empty salsa containers. The staff was keeping up with the rush pretty well. I'll definitely be stopping in again next time I'm in this part of the world. :)

    Love the taco burger. It's not on the drive thru menu but just ask for it. I have eaten at TJs for years. Glad they are this close to me.

    Staff are unprofessional and rude. Food is subpar compared to other taco johns locations. McDonald's is better, faster, and way cheaper.

    I decided a couple of months ago that I didn't like cheeseburgers. I swore I'd never eat another…read moreone. Enter Mugs Up Drive In. 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.

    I stopped in recently, all the 70 years in buisness got my attention. Sincerely from my heart…read morecongratulations. I bought the mug for Independence memorabilia. 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.

    First time coming here but it's not my first Whataburger I've been to in the Kansas City area. This…read moreone however is right off the highway and it should be a pretty busy location since Whataburger is newer to the area. Upon answering this place is definitely new. However it was also very empty there were no customers inside, I waited 5 minutes for staff to come up and to be greeted. Staff didn't seem too interested in taking my order. I ordered my burger, I got the number 11 Burger and it turned out pretty good. However the lady in front of me she just got a drink but she didn't pay for it which I thought was strange. My major con with this place is something that Whataburger possibly can't control but there's a lot of homeless around the building and a fellow came up by my vehicle when I took my bird into the car and tried pleading me for money but he was loitering around the Whataburger the whole time and when he went away as well as some other people in his situation, they all moved to the car wash next door and it kind of brings down wanting to eat here or go here either if you got these people just lingering around possibly becoming a Target. I'm surprised nobody else has mentioned that in their reviews, overall wouldn't recommend
