A Kansas City staple, it's a fun little diner. Nice memorabilia on the walls. Friendly wait staff and food come out quick. Huge portions for what you pay for and the food is good. It's your greasy spoon diner but it's so worth it. And their biscuits are huge and sumptuous. Always a fun time! read more

Food was great! I will be there again next time I travel to Blue Springs We were seated and our server didn't mind watching for the rest of our party to arrive. read more

Great biscuit, great gravy, but served barely lukewarm?! I don't need my mouth burned, but the place wasn't that busy and I don't know why my hot food was brought to me on the verge of being outright cold. Grits were nothing special, too watery for my taste. Hash browns were okay. Had the food been served at an appropriate temperature, this would probably be a 5-star review. The portion was large and splittable, so hurray for that! read more

The Big Biscuit - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Independence, Missouri

I go to the Lee's Summit location almost every Sunday with friends. It's always clean and the staff is friendly. Breakfast is usually good, cooked well and served hot. There has only been one time the eggs weren't cooked correctly but they fixed it immediately and everything was great. The bottomless coffee is really good too! read more

Friendly and efficient service! Delicious comfort food! Nice diner atmosphere. I am a stickler for bathroom cleanliness, and the men's room fixtures could use some more frequent attention. read more

I have been to the Independence & Gladstone location. The food was delicious at both locations as was the service. The Northland location was newer & larger than the Independence location it seemed though. Recommend this eatery! read more

There is no online waitlist, so you have to go and get your name put on the list. The wait time we were given was accurate - actually we got in a little sooner than predicted. It was a little appalling the lack of masking that was happening, even among some of the staff. Can't help but be a little disappointed that more people don't care for others enough to wear a mask for a few minutes just to get to their seat. The food was decent. My husband had the biscuits and gravy and thought it was pretty good. I really enjoyed my chicken and waffles, the chicken was nice and thin so lots of flavor; thaw the waffles were light. We'll be back when Covid is a little more under control in the area and we don't have to worry about the other patrons who could care less. read more

Visited on today hungry and ready for a great breakfast due to our past experiences. We ordered the blueberry pancake platter and unfortunately the pancakes were still doughy in the middle so we politely told our waitress the issue. The manager came over and apologized and offered to remake the pancakes and remove the charge from the ticket. The pancakes were remade and again doughy in the middle but we didn't complain just decided that we wouldn't order them in the future. The breakfast potatoes are usually very tasty and well cooked on today I had several that were hard and not thoroughly cooked. The bill came and the blueberry pancakes were not removed and was told by the manager since they were remade he wouldn't remove them from the ticket. The entire interaction left me with a bad taste about a restaurant that I normally love to visit. read more

Visited in 2017 (Just fou d review in Drafts) You know when you pull up to a place, and there's a line out the door, that they must be doing something right. Our wait wasn't too bad it took us about 15 or 20 minutes to get a table. And the food and service was definitely worth the wait. The server instantly greeted our table with Waters that had that awesome ice in it. We took a minute to look over the menu since it was our first time there. I ended up getting a traditional breakfast "The Big Breakfast" it had bacon, sausage, potatoes, and eggs. It was soo good everything was cooked just to my liking. Of course i got the biscuits and gravy. Which was a show stopper. Loved the flavorings the gravy offered. If im ever in Kansas again, this place is a must stop read more

Slave girl and I were visiting a friend out of town, and friend took us to Big Biscuit to get some biscuit and gravy for breakfast. I love dining food when the mood strikes and I was definitely in the mood for this. The restaurant was spacious but still felt cozy. We went on a week day and it was still pretty packed. In the restroom I saw something unusual and I must share. So far in my life, every public restroom that has a sign posted always says "please turn off the water after use." This one said, "Do not turn the hand sink off!" Say what?! Later on I found out it was because the pipe might be frozen and burst if the water was still. How interesting?! Menu had breakfast and lunch available. I was kind of hungry so I ordered winner winner chicken dinner and grits on the side. Slave girl got country benedict. We also got a big pot of coffee for our sanity. Chicken dinner came with breaded chicken breast covered with gravy and a big biscuit. I wasn't sure what they used in the gravy, but it was thick and flavorful. Nothing could go wrong with that gravy I tell you. The grits was bland but we got table salt to fix that issue. Country benedict was pretty amazing. It had 2 scrambled eggs, 2 sausage patties on a split big biscuit covered with sausage gravy. It was basically glorified deconstructed sausage biscuit packed with a lot of flavors. I would highly recommend to order this if you don't know what you want. Overall it was a good time. The service was whatever but the food was really good. We did ask if we could take some coffee to go after we were done eating, and they had no problem giving us to go cups for the coffee. Breakfast anyone? read more

We are traveling and would absolutely be a regular if we lived here! The service was amazing (thank you Michelle!) and the food was too! I had the biscuits and gravy (their specialty) and my wife had the Cowboy Benedict with fried chicken (see pictures). The biscuits are BIG (of course) and tasty, the sausage gravy is very good, and the fried chicken on the Benedict will make you want to come back for lunch and order fried chicken. It's busy and stays busy for good reason: eat here!!! read more

Huge helpings, good and attentive service, and fair prices. I initially ordered toast, but got some good advice to switch to biscuits. The cafe itself is a little rundown but the table was clean. read more

Fantastic service! Every single person working in this restaurant was hustling (sometimes literally running). Our order came out perfect and tasted delicious! I appreciated the personal coffee thermos to top off my coffee as needed. read more

First time ever going here and is was fantastic. I had the Titanic and it was amazing. My wife had a pancake platter which was great also. Staff was very friendly and food came pretty quick despite being pretty busy. We will definitely come back if in the area again! read more

my wife,who is allergic to mushrooms, asked for no mushrooms.they served it in a scramble and she consumed it and didn't even have decency to comp her meal just make it again without mushroom as if she won't be coughing the whole day now, this place ruined my wife's whole day I wouldn't have a bad review on here but make me pay for my food not my wife after poisoning her read more

I am actually mad at myself for not reviewing this location until now, we are talking about a breakfast location that could give Eggs -N- Things a run for its money. First things first, don't mess with their Big Biscuit, that one $7 or whatever it was plate could have fed both of us and man was it delicious! The gravy was so woooo and the biscuit was mmmmm. The good thing about visiting Missouri is that they don't have a tourist market, they don't put on extra bells and whistles just incase someone from out of town shows up, you get what the locals get and The Big Biscut is about as good as you /can/ get. Writing these reviews actually make me sad to know that not only our friends, but these amazing restaurants are 2 plane rides and 3,912 miles away from my front door. If you are passing through Independence please make the trip, it's so worth it. read more

Service was practically non existent. The place was filthy. The food was good. I would recommend going to Liberty Blue Spring or Kees Summit before coming here. There are plenty of great food options nearby read more

I finally stopped by because I saw the parking lot was constantly packed and thought surely what they are serving must be good and I wasn't wrong. If you like a hearty breakfast, The Big Biscuit is the place for you! Their big biscuit is not huge but it's mighty delicious, especially with their gravy. It's soft and flaky on the inside and nice and toasted on the outside. It was so good, we had to get more than one. Their portions are above average and you will be plenty full with anyone plate. You can also share any plate and they will happily slipt the portions for you. The decor is very homey and the staff is very friendly. read more

Food and service both great! If you have a big appetite, try the Titanic. We shared it without the hash browns inside and it was ginormous! Didn't realize the biscuit and gravy came on top or we would have asked for it on the side but it was easily moved. Our server, Huong, was very attentive. read more

Great service and even better food. Perfect for the low fuss, not precious brunch. The fried chicken is all its various forms is fantastic!

Great food. Great choices. A must place to eat for visitors new to the area. May have to wait but it's worth it.

Usually I love my food at the Indy Big Biscuit but this time undercooked onions, overcooked patty melt. Good service though

Can't go wrong at the Big Biscuit. Biscuits and gravy are too notch, Benedicts are tasty, pancakes and waffles are delish.

My go to for great food and service for breakfast. I always get an omelette and hash browns with side of gravy and biscuit. The biscuits are huge and delicious, enough for two people easy. Very affordable. read more

Worst biscuits and gravy I've ever had!... It was so BAD... Big BreakfastBig Breakfast

Diner atmosphere with good food and great service! We recommend the biscuits and gravy and the eggs Benedict!

This place always serves good food for a great price would highly recommend every day of the week! Seriously come here every day of the week, I'll be waiting for you... read more

Ordered To-Go. Seems they prepare the food sans salt, which I can respect. The veggie omelet was hefty and cooked in an unfamiliar way: the added ingredients were imbedded on top of the omelet instead of inside. That's cool. The biscuit is large and good. The jam is packaged Welch's though. They are a very friendly and courteous bunch. read more

The Big Biscuit - veggie omelet with potatoes and biscuit. Oh and a tiny cranberry juice. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Independence, Missouri

Delicious and lots of choices! Very fast service and great ambiance. We will definitely go back

The food is still great, tried and true, but you can definitely see the change in corporate ownership vs. the previous private ownership. It used to be that one could swap fresh fruit for the breakfast potatoes, and get some extra gravy, all for no charge. Now? $2.50 for extra gravy, and a $2.00 up charge for the fruit. You'll get just slightly over a second cup of coffee if you're lucky in the pot that it's served in for one person. Still a great meal but you have to go into it knowing that it's going to be much pricier than it was under the previous owner. read more

Staff is incredible, down to earth, fast and helpful! Food is affordable and DELICIOUS! It's a great place to take your family and the environment is great too! read more

Flew all the way from Los Angeles to eat here. Just kidding. I was visiting some relatives. But I never get disappointed. Though I need to remember to order small because you get a lot of everything. Will definitely be back! read more
