    This location definitely isn't what it used to be. Prices have gone up while portions and pace of service have not. The décor is more modern instead of traditional. I miss the old newspaper clippings on the walls. Sports always being on the TVs doesn't appeal to me either. Is there a reason local news isn't an option? There was a puddle of butter on my toast this morning and far more vegetables than eggs in my Lean & Green Scramble (the vegetable amount was fine, but it merited another egg). I appreciate the ability to swap out mushrooms for tomatoes though. More substitutions should be allowed (i.e. fruit for potatoes), and where are the turkey bacon or chicken sausage alternatives? I'm SO glad Mariah's back now! Y'all need to do whatever it takes to keep her!! That young woman's a gem FOR SURE!!!

    The servers are always kind and on top of everything. My boyfriend and I love coming early because it's quieter but if you come later it will be loud. Food is always good. I prefer this place over most breakfast places.

    A little bit of a wait but staff very attentive and courteous. Food was amazing and choices are endless.

    Sticky Bun

    We walked in the door and greeted with a smile and a "good morning". Our waitress, Misty, asked if we'd be there before and we had been to the Liberty location not this one - this is the 1st one. Sooo they gave a sticky bun brought out by the owner. OMG talk about melt in your mouth heavenly. Their gravy is flavorful and all was cooked to perfection. Service is friendly and fast and the place is super clean. You should stop by!

    Went to the original The Big Biscuit in Independence and wow, the portions are huge! The friend chicken is outrageous and the sticky biscuit was swimming in melted sugar, cinnamon and icing-that's wasn't a bad thing. Leave the calorie counting at the door! Friendly staff too!

    Went for breakfast during a weekend in KC. Food came out fast and was really good. The flavored lemonades were awesome and the combinations were some I haven't seen before. Bought 2 of the coffee cups and they are the perfect size for my coffee at home! Definitely would go again when we go back down for other events.

    Cowboy Benedict & Country fried chicken and eggs. Sticky biscuit oh, hand pattied sausage patties.  Single biscuit with gravel bowl.

    We were on our way home from vacation and I was looking for a decent breakfast place and I found this gem. The food was delicious and our waitress was so nice and because it was our first time there we got a free big sticky bun. It was so good within itself! The place was cute and all. If we are ever that way again we will be back!

    Biscuits and gravy with eggs and hash browns

    Really fun place to have breakfast. Nice staff and very cozy environment. They have all these photos of old time movie stars. Eggs, bacon, and crispy hash browns. What more can you ask for? Biscuits and gravy, you say? Delicious and very satisfying Midwest cooking. My friend ordered toast, and the waitress said, "Toast? You can eat that at home. Have the biscuits that we're known for." We laughed our asses off and agreed she made a solid point. Definitely recommend.

    Love love love the Big Biscuit in Independence! Great service and wonderful food. This is a KC GEM. :)

    Southern Sunrise
    Caitlin K.

    Had a great experience here! Came in with a large group this morning and was seated immediately with excellent service. Our server Mindy was a hit! She was super patient with all of our orders and very helpful. It was a very cold morning but the Big Biscuit warmed us up and filled our stomachs with delicious food. I got the Southern Sunrise, a very sweet treat that filled me up quickly and left me with plenty of leftovers to take home. Highly recommend!!!

    Chicken and waffles
    Nikki J.

    Ambiance was casual Sunday morning crowd. We were seated immediately. The server gave us time to browse the menu. Keeping this short and sweet. The did was freshly cooked, order was exact when it arrived and delicious. Chicken was seasoned perfectly and offset the sweetness of the syrup on the waffles. Pancakes were described as delicious. I will definitely try them on my next visit. Hubby said the portion amounts were in point and made it worth the money spent !!

    We visited on 1/21/26. Although the temperature outside was frightful, our service and food was…read moreDEFINITELY delightful! Our party of four was seated promptly in a comfortable booth. 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.

    I went here for Father's Day after hearing how good their breakfast was. Their house salad was…read morehuge, but it was just a basic salad. I had the pot roast. It seemed to be placed under a heat lamp until the meat was dried out, than slathed with brown gravy just before serving. I received one carrot, a piece of potato and mashed potatoes drowned in brown gravy. Edible,but not worth what we were charged. For me, the highlight was going to be Apple Cobbler a la Mode. The presentation was spectacular,but the menu clearly stated that this was baked in their kitchen. I took one spoonful and it was still partially frozen. I sent it back, and was told it would be put back in the oven, but it was back in two minutes, and the plate was piping hot. I asked if went back into the oven, and was told it was put into a microwave oven. It was at best luke warm, so I ate the ice cream and left the entire cobbler, less two small spoonfuls, on the table. I was offered a to go box, which I refused. I was there with my sons, who didn't want me to make a scene. Had I been there by myself, I would have had a long, difficult conversation with the manager. I may go back for breakfast (which is served all day), but not for lunch or dinner. I would have gotten the same level of food if I bought a Healthy Choice frozen dinner.
