Good sandwich but this was the first time I've ever received old room temperature fries from any Gates location. Also, this is my first time at the Independence location since the old one burned.

The atmosphere reminds me of being in a Perkins or Denny's compared to what I expect from Gates. I realize that some customers may appreciate the difference offered at this location but it's not for me.

The food was good. But the service was not great. The lady at the front kept asking us for our order like 4-5 times.

They sent me the wrong order. I called to tell them and they hung up on me without giving me an answer. Damn, what terrible service! The manager called me on the phone and didn't care. Awful service, I don't recommend it. Abusive and bad service.

As much money as a sandwich costs I was expecting better quality. Requested Turkey double decker thin as. What i got was all the ends, tough and hard to chew. I have never tasted turkey as salty and unappealing. Contrasting between thick end pieces and little bits of shredded left overs.
Horrible experience.

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.
