“We had a family Christmas dinner for 22 over the holidays at Cafe Verona. The food was excellent, and the service was impeccable. Our incredible server, Andy, was attentive to the needs of the adults, teens, and children at all times! He truly made the special evening a success! Everything was set up early, including items for the children, to keep their attention and maximize the time together as a family. All of the dishes were outstanding, and my personal favorite was the mushroom lover's pasta and the lasagna (for my husband). The appetizers of house made hummus, garlic bread, and calamari were also enjoyed by all! If you have not tried Cafe Verona, give it a whirl. You will not regret the decision. Also, take a stroll around the beautiful historic Independence Square and enjoy the scenery, history, and wonderful shops. Show less Date of visit: December 2023”

“We had the pleasure of catering our wedding with Yings Thai. We were blown away by Tomas and the absolutely delectable food! Tomas had excellent communication and went over the top to make sure our day was special. He helped us plan the menu and we couldn’t have been happier. The wedding guests all raved about the food throughout the night. The egg rolls and crab Rangoon were the absolute bomb. The Pad Thai, pineapple fried rice, and stir fry stole the show! We loved how our guests could start with a mild version and increase the heat as they saw fit. Tomas was so thoughtful and posted all the possible allergy concerns and made sure peanuts were on the side for those with an allergy. Tomas and Yings Thai made our night special and for that we are incredibly grateful!”

One of the managers helped us put up an awning. an associate gave me clear directions to the bathroom.

“Nirvana Coffee is truly a gem tucked away in the Englewood Arts District, right off Winner Road. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere hits you in the best way — cozy seating, great music, and just an all-around welcoming vibe. It’s the kind of place you want to hang out in for hours, whether you’re catching up with a friend or working on something creative. The staff here are always super friendly, which makes the experience even better. I ordered the Brown Sugar Vanilla Latte, and wow — it was delicious! If you’re someone who actually enjoys the flavor of coffee and espresso, this spot will be right up your alley. I’ve noticed their drinks tend to have a bright, vibrant taste with fruity or citrusy notes, which makes me think they might use a lighter roast (too shy to ask, though!). One of the coolest features? It’s also a game lounge! They have a fun collection of board games available, which adds to the cozy, community vibe. Whether you’re sipping a latte or challenging a friend to a game night, Nirvana Coffee creates a space that feels warm, inviting, and full of personality. Whether you’re just a short walk or drive away, it’s totally worth checking out. Great coffee, great people, and great vibes all around!”

“What a place! Main Street Coffee, located right off the Square in Independence, is everything a true coffee shop should be — no gimmicks, no distractions, just great coffee and a welcoming space to relax, create, or connect. This spot has quickly become one of my favorite places to settle in and get some writing or work done. Their big, comfy booths are perfect for spreading out with a laptop, notebook, or a good book. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between cozy and productive — soft lighting, warm tones, and just enough background buzz to feel inspired. Now let’s talk about the coffee — it’s genuinely some of the best in the entire metro area. Rich, smooth, and expertly crafted, every cup feels like it’s made with real care. Whether you’re a fan of a bold espresso or a perfectly balanced latte, they never miss. One of the things I love most is their seasonal menu. It’s always creative, always delicious, and it keeps things exciting every time I visit. You can tell the team behind the bar is passionate about what they do — from the quality of the beans to the flavors they bring to life. Main Street Coffee is more than just a coffee shop — it’s a local treasure. If you’re anywhere near Independence, do yourself a favor and stop by. Whether you’re looking for your new favorite drink, a quiet place to work, or just a great cup of coffee, this is the place.”

“910/5/24
Iv been told to come here for the food. So I showed up for lunch .

Start off saying, if you hate stairs and have trouble with them like me . Either don't come here because it's in the basement of the building.

I got the plaintiff chicken dinner.
Mash potatoes and green beans.
Chicken has a great honey glaze iv never had anywhere! But...
The chicken was dry as a biscuit.
Mashed potatoes was chunky and great! Green beans was great!
But . All in all was a waste of money and time..

The sweet tea was not ont eh sweet side and that's ok. The soda from the bar was actually ok. Maybe too much ice.

The basement you walk into at first is a bar. But on the side and back was tables. Very low light, reminds me of a old speak easy.

Bathrooms very clean.
Price for two for lunch $42.
Not coming back but cool experience.”

“Up Dog: A Savage Feast in Independence The road to Independence, Missouri, stretches like a fever dream under the Midwest sun, a shimmering asphalt ribbon cutting through the heart of Truman’s old stomping grounds. I rolled into town with a head full of static and a hunger that clawed at my gut like a rabid coyote. The mission: Up Dog, a joint so brazen it dares to sling hot dogs and smashburgers in a world drowning in fast-food mediocrity. The address—114 N Liberty St—burned in my mind like a neon sign in a desert night. This wasn’t just lunch. This was a plunge into the wild, greasy soul of America. Stepping into Up Dog is like mainlining 1950s nostalgia straight into your veins. Black-and-white checkered floors gleam under fluorescent lights, red vinyl booths scream of Elvis and drive-ins, and the jukebox hums with rock ‘n’ roll that makes your bones itch to dance. The air’s thick with the scent of sizzling beef and frying onions, a primal perfume that hits you harder than a double shot of bourbon at noon. The kids behind the counter—young, sharp, moving like they’re dodging bullets—take your order with a grin that says they know they’re serving something unholy and delicious. The menu’s a love letter to excess, a carnival of hot dogs dressed up like they’re auditioning for a culinary circus. Chicago Dogs with their poppyseed buns and sport peppers, Detroit Dogs slathered in chili and mustard, New York Dogs with sauerkraut so tart it could make a grown man weep. But the smashburgers—oh, sweet chaos, the smashburgers. Thin, crispy-edged patties, dripping with juice, stacked with cheddar and bacon, served on buns so soft they’re practically a sin. I ordered the Missouri Dog, a beast piled with pickle, bacon, and cheddar, and a smashburger combo with tots that crunched like the sound of victory. The first bite hit like a thunderbolt, flavors exploding in a symphony of salt, fat, and heat. The dog was plump, the bacon crisp, the pickle a sour jab that kept it all honest. The burger? A greasy revelation, each bite a reminder that sometimes the best things in life leave your fingers slick and your heart pounding. The place hums with life—locals jawing over Cokes, tourists snapping pics of the retro decor, kids giggling as they munch on mini corn dogs. The staff, despite the lunch rush, move with the precision of a pit crew, slinging plates and cracking jokes. You can feel the pride here, the kind that comes from knowing you’re not just feeding people but giving them a moment to savor. The prices? Cheap enough to keep your wallet happy, with dogs starting at a few bucks and combos that won’t make you flinch. My meal, a king’s ransom of flavor, set me back less than a twenty, tip included. Up Dog sits on Independence Square, a stone’s throw from the Truman Library, where history whispers in the brick and cobblestone. This ain’t just a hot dog shack; it’s a beacon of joy in a world that’s forgotten how to have fun. The vibe’s so infectious you’ll want to linger, sipping a fountain Coke, soaking in the chatter and the clatter of the grill. It’s the kind of place that makes you believe in the American Dream again, or at least in the dream of a perfect lunch. I left Up Dog with a full belly and a grin that wouldn’t quit, the taste of that smashburger lingering like a good riff in a rock song. If you’re ever in Independence, do yourself a favor: find this joint, order big, and let the madness of Up Dog wash over you. It’s not just food—it’s a wild, beautiful ride, and you’ll want to take it again and again.”

“Pleasant experience at this place! I walked in at around 11 AM to request a cookie cake to be made for our little one’s birthday party that day and was guaranteed to have it ready around 12:30 PM. I gave them the “theme” of the cookie cake and kindly let them know to “be creative and do what you believe is best”. I went to pick up the cookie cake and was very impressed! For those that are curious, this cookie cake tasted as good as it looked and had the kids at the birthday party asking for seconds! Aside from the cookie cake, the staff that I have encountered were all very friendly and really delivered their services from the start to the pickup. I’ll definitely be stopping by for more orders in the future. Thank you so much ??”

“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.”

“This was the single greatest restaurant experience in my life. I got 1 slice of pizza before they kicked me out, the toilets were brown, and the employees yelled racial slurs to people who walked in. It was the single greatest thing to ever happen to me. I couldn't have been happier with the cold asf pizza, it was the most happy experience I've ever had. I would recommend going there 5 minutes before closing, it's when it's the best time to go because all of the employees are cleaning up and they now have to get everything back out to serve you. Good experience, would definitely go again.”

“Yes, Dennys has been there a long time. Yes, the culture of people that will eat there has changed. But this resturant is one of the good ones. Its a survivor, for sure. At this place, a certain waitress deserves recognition. If you go to Dennys, on Noland Rd, and Deliverance is your server, ypu will enjoy prompt attention, a genuine smile, and excellent service. She will not desert you, she will check on you, keep your coffee warmed up. She fixes wonderful, generous side salads, and every person that eats there is her friend. She also stays busy, and is always helpful to her team members. I want to honestly say she is a 5 star server, in a 2 star clientele, at a 3.5 star location. As for the location, the cook is a black dude, wears a red Royals hat, and boy howdy, is he ever a good cook. Dont hesitate to go there. You mifht have to put up with big fat entitled mammas who act like the world owes them, with 8 screaming kids, but you will get good service, and good food.”
