33 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Independence

“Many, many years ago" late 70s" when I first had Mugs Up. Lived in kC, Independence, Lees summit. Mugs up was a couple times a week thing. Moved away in 91, back to Ga. Everytime I go to KC, to see family and friends I also have to visit mugs Up, my favorite as well as the Pizza Fun House.“

“GOCHEW never disappoints with their food! The veggie patty on the GOCHEW burger is always delicious along with their saucy fries, their sauce is so delicious!!! Everytime I've been there they are always welcoming, kind, and ready to take my order. 100/10 always great service and of course amazing food“

“We have been regular drive thru customers. Great food. We especially like the curtious, clear talking order taker, Joseph who efficiently took and helped at window with our order. Thank you, we'll be back.“

“I rarely leave reviews, especially for fast food, but this Culver’s experience was incredible. The sandwiches looked just like the pictures, everything tasted great, and the staff was very polite and helpful. This was the best fast food experience I’ve had in years. Thank you!“

“Ordered online for pickup last night. I have to say this was the best cheeseburger I have had in a very long time! Fresh hot & delicious, but the burger itself wasn’t smashed flat or packed down making it dense like other places. Fries were hot & fresh. Great meal & I will be back, thanks Five Giys!“

“Great customer service! Kind, friendly staff“

“I like this place, just wish the salsa bar would make a comeback“

“Great food.but the young kid at night is rude.you walk in and he rolls his eyes.he stands up front and walks back and forth.while the other employees.are working and then your food sits there that the people in the back are yelling at him to get the food out.he listens at the men's bathroom door to see if anyone is in there.he back talks manager and employees.he needs to go.very creepy.“

“we had a great experience thank you 😊“

“My first time having Arby’s in a while. The staff were friendly and the service was quick. The food tastes good and the portions on the combos are still pretty decent.

It felt like a trip back to the 90s - in a good way!“

“Finally stopped in to Texas Toms and Im glad I did. The staff is friendly,the tacos are the best Ive had in our area, the fries are GREAT. Can't wait to come back to try the fish and the chicken. Hopefully people give this place a try so it sticks around!“

“we are very disappointed that the lobby closes at 4pm. my wife and I haven't been there in a long time. perhaps some other time.“

“Chorizo breakfast burritto is 5 star“

“We were there for the Kentucky Fried Chicken part of the restaurant, and even before I ordered, the lady working the front register let me know that due to an oven breakdown, they did not have any biscuits prepared. But she offered me extra large sides to go along with our meal to compensate for the lack of biscuits. I thought it was great customer service that they let me know up front what was going on and they had a solution to offer, and that actually worked out great for us! We ordered a 20-piece meal and waited only a few minutes for everything to be prepared and ready to go.“

“we are very disappointed that the lobby closes at 4pm. my wife and I haven't been there in a long time. perhaps some other time.“

“we are looking forward to enjoying an awesome Freddy's burger this evening for a birthday dinner! thanks for coming to Independence“

“I mean, it's Taco Bell. No one should be going there expecting any food more fancy than high-sodium, need-a-taco-right-now kind of goodness. In addition to the tried and true menu, go there for the great customer service, clean dining room, and the round-up opportunity to contribute to the company's education programs for employees. This location is well-managed and has yet to mess up my order. Solidly 4 stars.“

“I drive-thru this Taco Bell in Independence one to three times every week, and it continues to impress me every single visit. The drive-thru is consistently quick, the team is friendly, and a few of them even greet me by name, which is something you don’t see often anymore. My orders come out hot, fresh, and reliably well-made every time. The consistency here sets it apart—hands down the best Taco Bell I’ve ever been to. Highly recommend.“

“My food was hot and ready to go. I had cheese sticks and Alfredo pasta. They were tasty but they could have been more generous by filling up the tiny cup of marinara for the cheese sticks. The store is easy to find and access. It was clean and the atmosphere was okay. The staff was not friendly. They were not rude but felt more like an assembly line than genuine enthusiasm for me as a paying customer.“

“Amazing and friendly service, no kidding super clean,
Food was fresh hot and delicious.
This is the model that other stores should strive to be.
I was on my way home(Blue Springs), decided I wanted something to eat, not really a big Arby's Blue Springs fan but yet here I was, the lady that took my order was exceptional, no much so that instead of grabbing a sandwich and heading rest the way home, I ended up with a large meal and 2 extra sandwiches for eat in.
Just Great customer service all the way around, that's something you dont get to experience enough anymore, refreshing.“

“I don’t understand the negative reviews. I have been coming to this store pretty much since it opened. The employees know me by name and by what I order. I have never seen anything negative at this store. The food and the atmosphere is always top notch. Shout out to Colin and Lindsey. I can’t say who is “the best” because they are all fantastic. Keep up the outstanding customer service!“

“I've delivered food from here a couple times, never eaten here:
The staff always impressed me with how friendly they were. They were noticeably kind and professional - their food could be garbage for all I know, but they deserve respect for going above and beyond to be polite.“

“I have only been to one other Panda Express, years ago. Went to this location for the first time today and was super surprised, in a good way! The food was tasty. The location is clean and modern looking. The staff was super friendly and professional. Our family found a new place to put in our out to eat rotation. Thank you!“

“wow I came here to leave a review and I'm surprised about the negative reviews. I've never had a bad experience at this location, though I suppose I'm used to the horrible Taco Bell/KFC location on Noland Rd.

The staff have always been sweet and just the right amount of customer service, and I've always enjoyed my food. I don't think I've ever had an incorrect order at this location either. Keep it up guys!“

“We've been going to this TacoBell for years and have always had a great experience. Yeah sometimes they're out of certain things but it happens in the restaurant industry. Tonight Christian who was working the drive thru tonight was great, you can see his sense of urgency and providing quality with his customer service. If he isn't a manager by now he needs to be. Great service“

“I’m not sure what’s up with all the bad reviews. I live near this location and I enjoy stopping here every once in a while. I’ve tried several menu items and everything is always yummy. Service is always friendly and fast. Tonight I stopped by around 10 tonight and got a smash burger with fries and ocean and an Oreo blast. They brought my food in under 5 minutes and it was all hot and fresh. Carhop was friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed the smash burger with the pickles and sauce! The blast was perfect amount of mix ins. Store deserves way more stars. Lowkey have to force myself to not stop here every time I drive by.“

“A lot of the workers are friendly and nice“

“Today my order was lost at the drive thru. I sat pulled up in the pickup window while Ryleigh went above and beyond. She got all my items for me and came out to make sure we knew about the time line on what was going on. It was extremely busy and she was so kind!!! Thanks again for all your help. You are appreciated!!!!“

“This place has really stepped up their game with the manager they have now. They must keep her she is absolutely awesome. Every time I have ordered the last three times I have gotten fresh food and everything is exceptional. The green beans are to die for. I'm going to start eating here more often since they finally got their stuff together and everyone else should try it too. Love this new manager I don't know if she's new or not but she's amazing“
