food was amazing, especially the chicken potpie!! omg..I highly recommend it!! husband got the roast turkey meal, very yummy and moist! kids loved their pancakes! we got dessert to go. choc pie, coconut pie and the blackberry cobbler! oh man yumm I would definitely recommend waiting a while before going. our wait was hr and half (was told an hr). then waited 15 min just to be greeted and order. food came out fairly quick. we were done eating an hr after we sat. we left with full happy tummies :-)

We ate at the new Independence location. It was a busy night and only took 30 minutes to get seated. Food was great, portions were plentiful. Waitress was very attentive and kept our drinks filled. Will definitely be back.
