American Restaurants near Independence

“Brunch was delicious and many interesting options!“

“Always a fun place.
10 of us rolled in at once and only 1 barmaid was on duty. She also did the cooking. All of us had a cold drink in short order. She then went to work on the food. She gave us great service and did an excellent job.“

“My wife was craving some chicken wings tonight so we drove up the road to the local BWW. The family had to have the usual nacho platter to start off with. It could have used a bit more queso but it was still good nonetheless. They had a limited time cajun sauce that I decided to try and I really couldn't tell much of a difference from the other sauces I usually get. Our waitress was very attentive and kept the drinks full.“

“Outstanding! The food was fantastic and the service excellent. It was my first time there and I'll be going back.“

“Great lunch menu and superior service. Might be the best Cheese Cake we have ever had. Be sure and try their Hot Brown“

“Excellent lunch today !!!“

“Burgers are fantastic! We had Kennedy and she was a joy - fantastic service!“

“Great Service. Great Food. Coldest beer in town.“

“Kailyn was amazing!!!! We couldn’t have asked for a better waitress! We came here on vacation from South Carolina and didn’t know anything to do around here with small children and she went way out of her way to help find us something to do! Also was my son’s 3rd birthday and she went above and beyond to make sure his day was amazing!!! Overall great service and food! Amazing!!!!!

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly!!! Seats away from the bar and amazing service!“

“Hands down the best food and staff for the area! We loved it so much we came back multiple times over the weekend.“

“Celebrating my 65th birthday at Opal. Everything from our waiter Nick to the atmosphere and food were amazing. They made us feel special and wonderful. We highly recommend Opal Rooftop.“

“This was my first East/West African eating experience and it did not disappoint. The spices, were delicious and so tasty. Please do not be put off by the old building. It's like the old saying, "don't judge a book by it's cover." The only negatives and mind you they weren't the worst things in the world. The incense upon arrival was a little extra, but didn't burn the entire time, the dessert menu needs some tweaking, and there was a slight language barrier with our waitress in training; the owner arrived and that was resolved. The owner is so friendly and helpful as well as answering questions and giving us samples of their homemade hibiscus juice; amazing!“

“Absolutely love this restaurant! The staff, service, and atmosphere is absolutely amazing! Highly recommend the chicken pasta, seasonal flat bread, and hamburger with fries. The cooks (Nick, Stephen, Jack, Jimmy, and Glen) are always top notch. With great people like JR, Jamie, Madi, and Jasmine adding amazing conversation and the best drinks you've ever had!

Parking: Parking located at the side and front of the building.

Kid-friendliness: This is definitely a great place to bring the whole family and have a meal! There's something for everyone!

Wheelchair accessibility: There's an easy entrance for wheelchairs and seating accommodations so everyone can dine together comfortably.“

“1st visit and didn't know if the reviews were true but they are. Definitely will need a big appetite if you visit. I ordered the Beast burger, and I wasn't able to finish it. Took the rest home and devoured it, and wanted more. Absolutely the best burger I've ever had! The lemon berry cake with marscapone is a must! Can't wait to go back! This place is a real jewel!“

“The food was great great service and a very good waitress nice attmessphere would eat there again when back in the area.“

“Grabbed some tacos and beer today. Excellent and highly recommended.“

“Sissy, Jim Thank you for great customer service Friday night! Merry Christmas 🎅“

“I am never disappointed with the food or beverages or service.“

“This was a very horrible dining experience we ordered there ribeye and added there bacon jam to steak when steak came out both were missing bacon jam the waiter took off before we could tell him finally got the bacon jam on side my steak was tasteless the salad maby had 5 sprigs of cheese on it garlic vegetables almost tasteless small portions when waiter brought our bill he held it in his hand not showing us and said I will take your payment my husband said can I see bill first lol oh ya and handed it to us 85.00 the steaks were 32 00 a piece the menu in restaurant said 27.00 and on line menu said they were 26 the waiter said inflation let me get manager who said the online menu was not there’s in one breath and in next breath said said he would let them know to change it and walked off we were from Illinois visiting ark encounter it was our anniversary so I will be sure to tell everyone in Illinois if they visit Don’t eat here and I scratched out tip on receipt I always leave an 18 to 20 percent tip but not today here’s your tip you are rude and outrageously priced“

“Fun atmosphere. Fun was good. Some of the bartenders were fun, if only they would make eye contact! They weren’t that busy yet we had to wave them down for refills, to order, to get a box (when we got their attention for a box it was another good 10 minutes b4 they arrived) and then had to get their attention to pay! Not attentive at all!“

“The food was outstanding, despite it taking 40 minutes to make it to us.

Eating here kind of reminds me of eating at a funeral home. You'll enjoy the food, but the 1960s decor needs to go. It legitimately looks like a funeral home inside and out.“

“I love that every thing is farm to table from local farmers. Delicious food and everything was fresh“

“Everything is AMAZING!!!!“

“Attached is a letter submitted to Cracker Barrel in Cold Springs, Ky to express an appreciation for a job well done. Amy, Manager at Cracker Barrel in Cold Springs, Ky impressed us with her friendly demeanor and willingness to take the time to ask our table if the food is to our liking. Outstanding food and staff (Server/Manager) interaction. ( 5 Star) rating re: the excellence in dining atmosphere and quality of food.“

“The best of all chili parlors in Cincinnati. Meatier chili and better taste. Fast, friendly service. Always a treat!“

“Update: They no longer serve biscuits (gravy), pancakes nor French toast. Total bummer !!

Their breakfast is made with the best tasting ingredients and I'm not just saying this because I have a hangover. Even though I was dreaming of sausage gravy and thick juicy bacon I was not expecting much from a pizza joint. Let me tell you! They sure made my taste buds dreams come true! Over the Top!!“

“Great place for snacks, drink, and some pleasantries. Conventiently located near gate 16 Concourse A, it has a well stocked bar, cooler, and sundries. Lots of choices including breakfast items, sandwiches, salads and bento boxes that include a variety of fruits, vegetables and cheeses.“

“Amazing food! The service is outta this world, the kindest people working here to make sure you feel welcomed. Me and my sister stopped here from out of town visiting my grandma. Everything about this place is top notch ...the vibe, food and especially thank you to the woman taking our
order. She went above and beyond to fix a mistake I made while ordering, will definitely stop by here again.“

“First time here, and won’t be our last. Excellent service, great food, and delicious margaritas!!“

“This Culver’s is good. I do recommend it. However, tonight when we went through the line, we sat for about 10-15 minutes before getting to place our order then waited an additional 15 at the window for our order. John, who is a teenager— was the only employee taking orders and apparently making those orders as well. He was friendly at the window to us and didn’t appear to be in a bad mood. There were other employees working with him, yet it appeared he was getting zero help from them. We could hear from the drive through window that there were female employees laughing and carrying on in the background. It’s clear that they were not helping with the drive through one bit. Keep in mind, the dining area was completely empty… I really feel bad for John, he was quite literally working alone and the drive through was pretty busy. Whoever else was “working” with him should be written up.“

“Have never gotten a bad meal at Cracker Barrel.. Love to eat there!“

“Ultra-friendly with great food. Just a down-home, friendly neighborhood tavern.“

“great food, we were pleasantly surprised“

“I had great service from all employees especially Shannon. When I come in she always has a smile and excellent service. I give this store a 11 on a 1-10 scale.“

“Let me start with saying if you’re looking for good food, good vibes and super service THIS is the place. Also, super conveniently located right off the exit and right next to Trader Joe’s - can we say DOUBLE WIN We swung in just for some brews and bites and hit the jackpot! The band was in full swing - highly recommend checking out Second Take if you’re in the Cinci region - we lucked out and caught the show right as we sat down. Super chill environment too, not overcrowded and our waitress Stevie was PHENOMENAL 👌 Quick to grab our drinks, didn’t forget me when I asked for refills, grabbed our apps out the gate and hooked us on the napkins because ya girl is a messy eater 😆 she even answered my 100 questions about what local brews they offer (which, if this is your forte, def check out their selection - I was impressed) Anywho, 10/10 service, food, atmosphere and generally just a cool spot to check out that’s 15 min from anywhere as soon as you hit the highway in the Queen City 🤙“

“For a hotel dinner, this food was fantastic and the prices were fair/low.GPS shows this at the residence inn. It’s not. It’s in the Courtyard hotel nearby. BUT, if you stay at the Residence Inn, they give you a 10% discount, if you tell them. My waitress said that it was pretty goofy, but it has something to do with the Marriott family of hotels.The atmosphere was great for someone who needs to work and wants a more homey feel. Photo is the Cobb salad and the hummus. Both were great.“

“Holy moly have I been missing out my entire life! We had been meaning to try Izzy’s for over a year since it is located right beside the Florence Chuck-E-Cheese that our kids enjoy going to quite frequently, but just never had went.

The Rueben is of course absolutely to die for, but the pastrami on pretzel roll is a whole another kind of amazing! We will most definitely be back! And the drive-thru employee that took our order was 110% top-notch as far as friendliness, familiarity with the menu and being able to recommend to customers who had never had an Izzy’s sandwich before! He was also super patient with my husband and myself!“

“Wow soooo good! I had the seafood platter! It was sooo good!!! Loved all of it. That asparagus was to die for!!!! Yummy!!! 5*****“

“One team member says "859 Taproom and Grill is one of my friends businesses and they are awesome! They have a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere, very solid food, and a really good bourbon selection for very reasonable prices. My favorite part by far is that they give back to the community when they can and hold many fundraisers for good causes!"“

“Hands down best experience I have ever had a Texas Roadhouse or any other restaurant! Jerry is hands down the best waiter I’ve ever had! He went above and beyond to make sure we never had a half empty glass, rolls were always on the table. Food was 10/10! Best Texas Roadhouse in the country! Highly recommended Jerry!“

“Very good service and good food“

“It’s away enjoyable to dine here. Sheli is so personable and attentive to each customer! The food is excellent! And the desserts- to die for! 😋🤤 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Four buddy's and I stopped by for our first visit last night. Gus was on point with his attentive service and knowledgeable beer descriptions. Tried the Crazy Norse(I'm not an IPAer, but it was fantastic) and the "Route 9"(a smooth Lager) Outstanding!! 👍👍 The Cod sandwich was excellent!! Ashley's prompt support with the food and drink delivery helped to make our visit a highly enjoyable experience! We'll be back soon!!“

“Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the food! The background story is really cool.“

“I ordered a tuna sandwich through the automated kiosk and then saw the special Carolina Pulled Pork Crunch. Fortunately, the staff were kind enough to make the sandwich I wanted without hassle instead of blindly following the computer. It was pretty good for fast food and not too expensive.“

“Delicious! We own a business in Alexandria and had to go to Ft. Thomas to pick up a vehicle. I picked up a carry out order. We each got a different panini. One got a Tower Club, one Caprese with added chicken, one got Spicy Chipotle Chicken, and one a General Thomas. The friendliness and atmosphere of the place was 2nd to none. Enjoyed the visit and loved the food!“

“Friends told me the slogan used to be 'a lot for a little'. Those restaurants are largely gone. This one remains, but the cheap prices are gone. Proper old school diner food served in huge portions. Friendly staff. Breakfast all day. Ooen faced roast beef was just what the Doctor ordered after the Marley Brothers!“

“This was absolutely delicious and fresh. Best breakfast I've had in along time. A must stop!“

“Came to Belterra to play the slots & stayed for the food! The Stadium had great food and even though it was late, we were seated quickly and server approached quickly to take our order. They even have a robot that comes and delivers your food to your table! The reason for four stars is because it seemed like they were a little light in the kitchen.“

“Great service and friendly staff“
