Restaurants in Independence

“Great food generous portions super nice staff. Try it you wont be disappointed!”

“Fun times and good beers!”

“I met a friend for lunch recently and had a nice experience. The food was good, and the place is pretty nice. The place was sparsely populated at the time (mid-afternoon) and I would have thought the service would have been a little better. At my friend’s urging, I tried something new (chili relleno) and it was GREAT! I will certainly try that again.”

“Excellent food, great folks and amazing service.”

“Savannah is so knowledgeable and friendly. She makes understanding and enjoying wine fun and approachable. We absolutely love her and this little gem!!”

“Super friendly owners, great food, great prices. Do yourself a favor and try these guys asap!”

“the people and the atmosphere”

“Good place to stop in on Friday afternoon after a long week of work. Grab a drink and a burger with my wife and unwind. Food is above average bar food. Bartenders are typically attentive and prompt with menus, drinks and food.”

“Absolutely wonderful Mexican food . always fresh and delicious . Try it..”

“I had an amazing experience thanks to Caitlin and Tanner They were not only quick and efficient behind the bar but also super friendly and made everyone feel welcome. Their knowledge of cocktails is impressive—I tried a custom drink they recommended, and it was one of the best I've ever had. Even on a busy Wednesday night, they stayed calm, professional, and upbeat. If you're at Arena, definitely sit at the bar and ask for Caitlin and Tanner —you won't be disappointed. Thanks again for the great service!”

“I have always been more than happy with the special #2. The portion sizes are huge and I love it. Id prefer less sweet and sour sauce in the box when you order it to go, but it seems like theres always a relatively equal mix of fully sauced chicken pieces and some only about half. So you can elect to drown your chicken in more of the delicious sauce or eat a half doused ones as is. The chow mein is perfect. Pork fried rice is a great addition that lets you enjoy rice with some appreciated flavor. I originally didnt like the crab puffs but they grew on me quickly.

Ive seen some complain that the outside needs more cleaning or that the environment needs some adjustment. I think the concerns of the outside are fair enough, but Ive never felt the place was unclean. If anything, I take small town restaurants with dated exteriors but fine interiors as a sign of the truly good stuff. And my experience with Jade terrace has basically just been that: the good stuff.

I am currently full to the brim with a special #2 after thinking about it all day and not eating much. You know what Im not full of? Regret. The special #2 filled me up so much, I have no room for it. Great place for Chinese food.”

“Our favorite place to grab food for casual date nights. The food is TO DIE FOR. You can taste how much he loves to cook; he puts his soul into his cooking. Wonderful people, love the atmosphere here. Great place to hang out and enjoy downtown.”

“It has amazing pizza if you’re looking for a new pizza place. It looks like an old pizza place from 80’s.workers were nice but it took about 40 minutes to get food because there were only 2-3 people working there”

“Delicious chilaquiles on a bagel with wonderful fresh fruit!”

“Love this place! Top notch 👍🏼🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”

“Amazing staff and great danishes!”

“Great owners, laid back atmosphere, close to park, nice patio.”

“We were looking for a frozen yogurt place close to South Salem and this place rocks. It's super clean, they have great options for yogurt and toppings, and the staff are very friendly.”

“Very nice place right in the heart of Independence. The food was fantastic and reasonably priced, making it a place I am sure I will frequent once my move to Independence is complete. Wrapped shrimp app and shrimp pad Thai were great!”

“The place has a lovely western feel to it. Almost feels like you’re in Montana or Wyoming. The staff was lovely and the food was great. 10/10 experience.”

“Great food and good wine! Plus it’s beautiful!”
