Restaurants in Independence

“The only reason why it has a 3 stars ⭐️ for atmosphere is because the place could be bigger as the wait time can be long. Other than that the food was great as we had the bourbon French toast & Chorizo hash. Excellent breakfast nook!”

“We loved this restaurant. My boys were entertained with the kids menu. It was super clean. The service was great. And my boys ate their entire lunches. Excellent!”

“Visited this week for a business dinner. There were a lot of us in a back room, so your results may vary from mine. Overall, I really enjoyed the evening, the location and the staff.The place outside looked like a strip mall but inside looked like a real deal steakhouse. From the bar back, things looked refined & relaxed. Enjoyed the stay. Since we were a large-ish group, I was there a while and was never uncomfortable.The staff were efficient, good, and light-humored in a grumpy way. It wasn't like they were seriously angry, just as if being put off was part of the schtick. Light-heartedly put off would be the summary. As if everything was a bother and an inconvenience, but maybe not really. After a couple drinks, didn't even notice any more.I started with a Negroni and wanted to hug the bartender. I don't often go with them, I usually like something fruity. But in a steak restaurant with a lot of business friends, I had to act macho and didn't regret it. Negroni's often are made poorly and like scallops, when not done well --- Oof! These were prefect.For an appetizer, salad I decided to go with the lobster bisque. I thought it was a great choice. It was very tasty, a lot of it and a TON of actual protein in it. Lots of nice, delicate chunks of real lobster meat. Well done there.Since I was in a seafood mood in a steak restaurant, I went with the Surf & Turf. I'm a rube, so I ordered the steak portion in medium. For a steak restaurant I was sorely surprised with the meat. I would just give it an OK. I was looking for outstanding, but that just didn't do it. A bit overcooked (even for a medium!) and I almost had the aftertaste of a piece of liver. Not as tasty as I would have wanted. On reflection, I should have gotten some sort of saucy side to cover it. I hate to recommend adding it (I was taught BBQ sauce hides poor brisket), but it is what it is. However, the lobster was really good. It wasn't a large thing. An over sized prawn. But it was tasty and filleted out for you so it was even easier to eat. The asparagus and mashed potatoes with it were par for the course.As a business meal - recommended and would do it again. On my own dime with a date, I would have been far more brutal in the review.”

“Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food as a vegetarian. My husband and I stopped in to eat around 3:00. The restaurant was extremely busy but we were seated immediately. The appetizers were out far more quickly than I would have expected given the crowd. The food was great; the main course was enough for two meals. We'd go back.”

“Our first time here. For the $$, probably will not go back.Service was okay. Took about 15 min to get our water and everything else we asked for.We were told the rush was over. Did notice other tables getting service before us. Waitress was busy, and kept forgetting to bring us what we asked for. She never removed plates out of our way until the end. Including salad bowls, appetizers and drink glasses.We ordered the scampi, scallops and filet. Was very good, but the scampi was far from large shrimp, they were small. I paid for scampi not small shrimp.”

“This was my first visit to Lobster and Pho. They only had one waitress waiting on 5 or 6 tables, so we had long waits before she could attend to our table. Not her fault, but still not a good experience.I had the Lobster Pho, which was in a generous portion. However, I have a problem with lobster being put in a pho, because lobster has a delicate flavor to begin with and the flavor is just drowned in all the liquid.It would have been better to have the lobster portions served on the side.”

“Maybe I am biased because I have been getting pizza here since a child ..... But I have lived in several states. And I can promise you there is no pizza that even comes close to what you will find here at Romito's Pizza West in Independence ...Unfortunately, this applies to every other Romitos pizza that you will find that is not Romitos Pizza West in Independence ...So please don't be fooled by the name on the sign because in this case it's all about the location ...It's all about the people ...It's all about the hometown atmosphere ...It's all about exceptional service ...Of course it's all about the food!”

“The food tastes really good, the coffee is also okay, but the portions are very small for the prices!You shouldn't go there if you're really hungry.Vegetarian options: There are a relatively large number of dishes that are suitable for vegetarians, with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables.”

“In town for 3 days, ate here twice. Would have been 3, but didn't find it til the 2nd day! Food was great, best wonton soup i have had. Ordered take-out twice, ready early both times. If in town again, or even close, will be returning!”

“Very nice looking bar. I just came in for a pick up order but the bar was packed and I got greeted right away. The food was great. I highly suggest trying the potato skins.”

“Love Aladdins and miss it since we moved out of town. This location was very nice and let me and a friend hang out and eat hummus for about 3 hours this trip. The server kept a good eye on us and was kind.”

“Got breakfast around 11:45 on a Sunday and had no wait. Lots of tables inside and service was quick and friendly — in and out of there super fast. Menu has a good selection of options at reasonable prices, and our food came out quickly and hot. Would definitely return!”

“Top notch customer service! Very attentive and helpful staff. 12 different soups to choose from plus a variety of other healthy food options. Clean atmosphere. Great for a quick lunch.”

“Came here for the first time today and Ms. Stella was an absolute QUUUUUEEN! She was so welcoming to me and my gay friend it’s lovely to know we are safe while snacking on falafel. First faygo friendly falafel place we have been to in forever! Honestly couldn’t have had a better experience! ?”

“We had the wasabi special for two. A. Mix of chef's best recommendations for the day. You can't go wrong! It was a lot of food. We enjoyed it very much. Our service was top notch!!”
