The independence location hooked me up right before closing. Sandwich and fries were good and hot. I appreciate that, thank you to the whole staff. A true Kc legend

The food is amazing. If you can order it. The lady working at the counter is the rudest person I've ever met. Will never step foot in there again.

The prices are insane for how low the quality of food is. The Mac and cheese was super dry, the Cole slaw has pickles in it?? Overall the food is just bad. The front end isn’t very organized either.

I will have to say that the food was pretty good... however they sure are proud of their food.. 2 people and the bill was over 50 bucks. Asked for extra pickles and of course they charged us for it. No sauces at the table, seems they charge extra for that also. Sides were way over priced.

Well it seems like it's the same restaurant before it burned down but got a little pricier for the amount of barbecue you get. Also, it could be a little easier to get your sauce and don't you do refills on your drinks anymore? You think you would at $3.50?

Stopped in for lunch. Recommend one of the lunch specials or consider sharing a regular meal. There were so many fries!

Went to get meat by the pound like we always have, and they wouldn’t sell it to us. Had to get a sandwich even though online you can order a party platter with meat by the pound. We had 14 people to feed and didn’t want to get sandwiches, so we went somewhere else.
