37 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.“

“I only go thru the drive thru but every single time I do, the people are so NICE! And it doesn't matter who is running the window. This location is definitely not the "here's your crap" with a stoic face routine I seem to get everywhere else. Food always fresh and 🔥. Id give them 10 stars if l could!“

“I actually did not go to Culvers that much until my son Emmanuel started working there. It was then that I truly realized how much I liked their food. I ordered the deluxe basket with cheese curds more than once, and I have loved it every time. The food is great here at this store. The service is exceptional, and if you get to know the people behind the counter, they are all really nice people. Do not pass up the chance to stop by and get the Culvers experience. You will not regret it.

Wheelchair accessibility: There are no steps to get into the front door. It's flat the whole way.“

“I love Chick-In-Waffle! The quality is consistent and the staff is always so friendly!! You’ve earned yourself a brand promoter here!! 15/10 !! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️❤️“

“onion rings and fast service“

“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!“

“The atmosphere is typically loud during all hours of the day so you'll have to raise your voice if you want to communicate to the person in front of you. If you're getting a takeout order you might not hear your name yelled so you need to be paying attention. They're always officers everyday in and out of the store so there's always a service officer there to help anyone if someone is having trouble or need sanctuary. Chick-fil-A is considered a safe place so if someone is chasing you or you're having problems they will help you with sanctuary. It is wheelchair friendly everyone is always very very kind everyone dresses very nice the place is always kept very clean. This particular Chick-fil-A on 39th Street is always busy so there will always be a long line for the drive-thru. Is definitely my favorite Chick-fil-A I've been to and I've been to a lot of Chick-fil-A's. When you order food there is a general decent wait time so be prepared for that but it's always nice hot and fresh.

Parking: There's about 40 parking spots but since it's so busy it can be hard to find a parking spot but people are usually in and out so you can either park by the mall if you want to walk or you'll typically get a parking spot there's usually always one open.

Kid-friendliness: There is absolutely kid friendliness kids are protected there and safe if they wander around or have fun you know kids are. Nothing will happen to your kid if they go to the restroom by themselves they're very watchful there and there's always an officer there.“

“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.“

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

“food is delicious and the staff is super friendly!!!“

“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.“

“Always good food and very fast service.“

“Love the half pound roast beef! This is my go to fast food place! The half pound roast beef is So juicy and HUGE! I actually love everything on the menu! The employees are always polite and quick to get your order out. Just an overall good place!“

“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“

“Great customer service! Kind, friendly staff“

“The sauces are to die for, absolutely delicious all around. The smash burgers, the fries, absolutely phenomenal. I can’t wait to go back!“

“I arrived about 1pm, there was one other customer. It is a Thursday, and it just snowed yesterday, so it's not surprising it was slow. This location is on a hill, the parking lot was a little slick with the snowpack. Food was delicious 😋“

“we had a great experience thank you 😊“

“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 was on my lunch break and was having a lot of issues with my debit card, both Adriene (if I spelled it right sorry) and Tammy were amazing and patient with me, and made sure I got my lunch in a timely and polite manner. Definitely made my day easier. Thank you guys!!“

“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.“

“Always nice to visit, the morning team is kind and thoughtful, especially the way they interact with the older crowd. The food is fresh, tasty and served quickly.

Wheelchair accessibility: This location is wheelchair accessible.“

“A lot of the workers are friendly and nice“

“Great customer service! My wife and I stopped here for dinner and were helped inside by Susan. She was very friendly and helpful. Thanks Susan! 😃“

“Wow! I've never been to this location as I'm not from the area, but stopped here for lunch and was pleasantly surprised! I ordered via app and was immediately responded to in the drive-thru. Food came out quick and EVERYTHING was hot & fresh! Made exactly how I ordered and I was full afterwards. Would definitely come back if I'm nearby!!“

“This Taco Bell has it’s ups and downs like any fast food place, BUT as someone who frequently goes here I gotta say that we’ve been highly impressed with the food quality and service as of late. I’d like to recognize this team if they’re under new management or are just flowing well with one another the food tastes like it’s made by people that are happy to be there. You can taste the love. 🖤 Thank you guys and keep up the great work your community appreciates you.“

“Most of the fast food restaurants in the area are pretty horrible. This restaurant is by far one of the best. Great friendly service, order was ready fast, correct and nice and fresh. I personally will start supporting this location much more“

“I always go out of my way for this location, because the quality is always consistent. Friendly staff working at the drive-thru. The food was saucy, tasty, and had perfect aromatics on the steak, the steak was tender as well, seems to be higher quality beef.“

“Drive thru wasn't opened yet, so I called them and told them I was handicapped and couldn't come inside. She came outside and took my order and brought me my food. Top service and very kind. Food is always excellent. Thanks again.“

“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!“

“I went on Sunday the 13th and the older gentleman there provided some of the best service I've seen in the industry. I ordered the purple whopper and he was very informative of it to a degree that shows he's done research to know what he's serving. He was extremely kind from start to finish of the interaction and would def go again knowing there's a chance this gentleman would be there. Keep up the good work!“

“This rating is based on a curve of Fast Food places, not in comparison to other sit down and be waited on type restaurants. With that said, Sonic gets a pretty good rating, mostly because of the sides. Although they serve a pretty good burger, good coney dogs, popcorn chicken, chicken tenders & sandwiches, and carnival favorite corn dogs, they also have all day breakfast. Most items are equal to most of their general competition with the breakfast items really only falling in a mediocre category. However, they have tots! Some of the best tots in fast food! Along with the fantastic tots they have crispy fries (better than mick dees), delicious mozzarella sticks, cheddar cheese curds, onion rings, and jalapeño poppers! These sides are really what makes a trip to Sonic something to look forward to. Then....... there is the drinks. Everyone will find a beverage they like, so many options it might make your head spin. Plus, they do slushes and cream slushes (like a slush with ice cream). The possibilities are almost endless. Yes, Iced tea and coffee are available too. So, of course I mentioned Ice cream, and that means delicious shakes, sundaes and cones! Plenty of variations and options to choose from in the ice cream department. Some have drive thru, and all (as far as I know from experience) have drive-in experience, and sometimes you even get a car hop wearing roller skates which has that vintage drive in feel.“

“It was a great experience the food was fantastic!“

“I've been coming here since 2021 and I've never had a bad experience! We recently discovered my daughter is lactose intolerant. This evening her cheeseless pizza was forgotten in our order of 4 pizzas. I called and everyone i spoke to was nothing but kind, they remade my pizza, and even let me know on pickup they cut it with a clean knife for her. Little things like that are what make true customer service. We're all humans and make mistakes, but they way the employees treat their customers is a true value to me.“

“They messed our order up, but the manager was on top of it. Gave us a FREE Chocolate Chip cookie and deeply apologized... Patty Melt with Onion Rings are the best..will be back.

Kid-friendliness: Yes

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“Bread was soft and fresh. I like the way the meat is folded in four so it gives the illusion of more meat. Pretty skimpy on the shredded cheese. Soda machine was actually clean. I don't like the arrangement of tables in this location.

Always fresh and yum.“
