    What a great find on my trip. Great food and portions were huge! Our waitress was brand new and she did an excellent job!

    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!!!

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

    Sticky Bun
    Stacey B.

    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 !!

    Titanic omelet

    Great food and service! Loved the portions. Brie was our server and she took very good care of us.

    Plate sized pancakes of the blue berry variety. Man! I love this place.

    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.

    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.

    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.
