Anna Bagby: Sorry. Your biscuits were horrible this morning. They were dry, crumbly, and hard. Not sure if warmed too long in microwave or stale.Food: 1/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More
Sherri Simmons: FIRST OF ALL, sign up for their birthday club and get a free (designated) breakfast right away and then for each year on your birthday.We came in with a party of 16 for our mom’s 94th birthday. They accommodated us easily and quickly. There was a lot going on but I’m pretty sure there were two servers. The food was really good. Everyone agreed. I ordered the open faced turkey sandwich with mashed red skin potatoes/gravy. Very tasty. Potatoes weren’t instant. Turkey was delicious. Others around me ordered a big burger with fries, cod & shrimp dinner, fried chicken Cobb salad (looked amazing! And huge!), bear claw stuffed French toast, chili burger & chicken tenders. No complaints! The restaurant sang happy birthday and servers provided plates/forks for the cake we brought in. And I didn’t take a single food pic! 🤷🏻‍♀️
Eric Wilson: Our server was attentive, and the food was good.Food: 4/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More
Tammy Fayard: Very nice and service was good . I'll be back only thing is servers should not have disagreement in front of customers. My server was staying clear but, the blonde with the long braided ponytail it was unprofessional and restaurants are just getting back with covid I hope this helps some and when I come back there's no drama.Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 4/5 …More
Robert Johnson: So even the waitress said the ribs are not the best (when she asked me how everything was) when I just looked at her. The shrimp were also not good. The ice tea was great. I'll never step foot in there again (that is how bad the food was) and I was not paying for it(My company was).Food: 1/5|Service: 4/5|Atmosphere: 3/5 …More

Susana Pinon: Recommended dishes Sweet Cream Pancakes, Fish & ChipsMore
Delesia Hill: This is my first time trying this restaurant. When I went in the staff were helpful and friendly! Not a bad price for the amount of food you get but it was a little bland. I got the chicken fried steak breakfast. The eggs were over cooked and the hash browns were undercooked and under seasoned. The steak itself was good. I may try again at a later date to see if maybe it was just an off day.
Bill Davidson: Food: 5/5|Service: 4/5|Atmosphere: 4/5Recommended dishes Burger, Gravy, Chicken Fried, Country Fried Steak, Sweet Cream Pancakes 700 CalsMore
Randell Hilton: Food is not very good. It's even worse than Dennys. Service not very friendly or attentive. I will never go back. This was are second visit, we decided to try it again.Food: 1/5|Service: 2/5|Atmosphere: 2/5 …More
aliya smith: Great food! Amazing service and a good experience all together!Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More
Debi Cogburn: I had the French dip ciabatta (deluxe) sandwich with AuJus tonight. OMG that is the very best. Corner Cafe could learn a thing tor three. (My typical go-to when I go there). My first bite was not dipped, I knew at that moment, this was gonna be a delicious meal. I am so glad I have leftovers! However, I was very disappointed in the selection of salad dressings. I'm not a fan of Bacon Ranch, Balsamic Vinegar or Italian. Who doesn't have French? Black Bear, that's who.
Nunzio Croce: Decent quality service means a lot! Unfortunately, that was not my experience, though.So long as your expectations are set properly and you don't expect your server to really have any sort of clue about what it means to work in the hospitality business, you will be fine.It's a bit of a shame because the food was good and worthy of a return trip, but creating a good customer experience with decent, basic service simply means a lot.I understood from the hostess, who was actually really welcoming, engaging, and nice, that there have been repeated comments about this particular server. If this is truly the case, why hasn't this person been addressed??Sorry black bear, I will support other merchants that get it!
Sheryl P: Good food and pricesRecommended dishes Sweet Cream Pancakes 700 Cals …More
Ronald Singell: First time here, and I was super impressed. The food, service, and prices were awesome. The portions are giant compared to just about everywhere these days, especially for the price! Food came fast and was absolutely great. Everything tasted fresh, and if anything came out of a microwave, it did not taste like it. I am always hesitant about trying new places but extremely happy I tried this!
Nicolette Paige: Large portions, delicious food, great options, great service! A cozy and comfortable place. Thank you!Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Kaleena Guthrie: I sat for almost a hour for food that I called ahead for that should’ve been ready I’m 30 minutes, I took about 30 minutes to get there and I still wasn’t able to get any food. It’s like everybody else was a priority as if i didnt order my food a hour already. Nobody knew what I ordered as i didn’t already tell them what my name was . I WILL NEVER GO BACK THERE EVER AGAIN . Im pregnant sitting there watching everybody get their food as if I didn’t order way before the parking spots was all taken . I wish I could give them no stars .worst place to order ahead because they don’t cook it until you get there and still I left empty handed after I sat for 30 minutes .
Victoria Juarez: I had the most amazing server in Independence MO with our server Tre’Mon who went out of his way to make me a caramel iced coffee and was just the kindest and most thoughtful server. It’s been such a long time since I had that kind of service at a restaurant and it really moved me. 10/10 will be back again!Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Jeff Lucht: June 4 2023 update put a difference couple of months made! The steak was absolutely much better than Lee's summit Longhorn! The waitresses employees was excellent and when the manager stop by our table to ask us how is everything was absolutely awesome! The portion of the food was plenty and very enjoyable! My understanding they got a new general manager and most of the long time employees from the Blue ridge boulevard near the stadium came into this Denny's after the big fire. I feel it would be great to rebuild Denny's near that location.Thank you so much I keep the negative post to prove to everyone a business can changeThe absolute shrinky dink of the omelets trying to cover it up with more potatoes! 1 person $25.00 for coffee omelet & two pancakes! With tip and add on meet. COME ON! Still too MUCH! From here on out staying home making my own! Service was praying with a customer while my food was sitting waiting for her to put it on my table. Wasn't really that bad until the prayer lasted way too long!Only reason why it got two stars is because it still tasted OK.
Jennifer Carney: Friendly people just should have had our salad before our meal not with it. Otherwise, good experience.
Joyce Forbes: We have been there 2 times on May 28, 2023 & June 2, 2023. The young boys Dakota & Peyton waited on us May 28, 2023. They were so respectful & professional & such a delight to talk with. On June 2, 2023, we had an awesome waitress, Linda, whom we had on several occasions as well as the visit on June 2, 2023. She is a fantastic waitress & we so enjoyed talking with her. Our experiences with Denny's on the Noland Rd. & I-70 in Independence, Mo. always feels like we are just dining with friends & family. I hope you give the recognition they all so deserve to these wonderful employees of Denny's. 5 Stars in our book !!!

Mugs Up Diner: what do users think?
Bosco Songer: Was an interesting twist!
Teri King: Hd eaten at bill and Ann's mugs up. This one run by nice lady and way better! And cheaper than mickey d's thank you!
Alexia Metcalf: The woman working is fabulous. Food was okay. The place needs a really good cleaning. And there was a pretty bad smell of mold. I'm not sure if it was from the ac being bad or from the older building but definitely needs to be checked out. Would be a wonderful place if it had a bit more life to it.
Kerry Morris: Best Ever
Michael Skaggs: Excellent...... the Manager is Great! I believe her name is Rae? Always friendly kind helpfully and nice. Food is great and very reasonably priced.....reminds me of my childhood
Brandi Horton: Wonderful place to relax and eat some great food.
Suzanne: First time there and it was really good. Lady that runs the restaurant was really nice.
Gary: I stopped by with my Grand kids, we had the Root beer floats, excellent! Clean restaurant, friendly service and a nice sweet treat for the Kiddos.
kathleen handson: YES the fried Mac n cheese bites are very good.... YUMMY
Scott Gambill: This location is closed
Taylor Cass: Great food with a good history. A small place but a good one.
Bob Dremoray: I loved this place not really for the pizza cause mushrooms aren't my thing but because it allows birthday party's and because of the mini arcade.
Denise: Delish!
Barb Reynolds: Very clean.
Taylor Mallette: Very cool atmosphere, very nice lady cooked and served. Food was excellent, will return.
David Madden: Love the chocolate malts!
pamela stewart: Good
Mele-Alyce Utz: Raye runs the little restaurant in Englewood that is extension of drive-in on 23rd St, but better this time of year where you can go inside and be warm ...and I love their fries.
carol miller: Not a fan of rootbeer
Donald Donaldson: Excellent diner, an institution almost. Loose meat burgers like Maidrites. Get the whizburger w onion rings, and a Nehi peach soda. Small cramped place, but very reasonable prices.
Kevin Tanner: My favorite place to eat at. Goodbye McDonald's.
