The host was giving off a creepy Igor vibe. The waitress took forever to even ask us for our drink order. The food was frozen, bagged, pre made crap. The bathroom was gross. Both urinals were covered in trash bags and out of order. Better food at Pete’s gas station

The Mexican lady host was extremely rude and shouldn’t be the first interaction you have when you come in. She makes you feel very unwanted and couldn’t care less about your time. She told us 25 minute wait even though there were at least a dozen tables not being used. We waited 30 minutes and then were told that only 2 cooks showed up for work. It was another 20 minutes to get our food. Our waitress was awesome! She kept apologizing and she even sent my breakfast back herself because the eggs were overdone. I actually heard... read more

We frequent the black bear diner in Independence. But since the Olathe location was closest to KU cancer center we went here for my cancer free celebration breakfast. I ordered my usual loaded hash browns and two over easy/medium eggs. Well when it came out the potatoes were barely cooked and definitely not loaded it looked really bad. So I tried to politely let the waitress know. So she took it back to the kitchen and I SH!T you not, I could clearly hear her mocking me (and how I speak) about this to the kitchen staff. So w... read more

We were there several months ago. Our daughter had to ask two people for a cup of coffee. The two tables across from us got waited on twice before we did. We asked the hostesses to get our waitress for us so we could order and they did not respond. We walked out after 30 minutes of NO service. We were traveling and our daughter had been to one of your other restaurants in another town. Obviously your chain is not consistent.

We walked in to empty tables everywhere. No one even acknowledged us. We wait 5 minutes for someone to even say anything to us. When the rude girl does say something it is”It will be 30 minutes, do you want to wait or not.” Nope, not with that attitude, and your food cannot be that good! Just never going back! Ironically, we went to Cracker Barrel, 10 minute wait, great service and nice friendly waitress. Then, a couple ladies sat next to us, we started talking and they had the exact experience as we did at your faci... read more

The food 2 years ago was amazing now it is just mediocre. The service was terrible even though we were the servers only table. Had to ask for refills and Togo boxes.

Service could be faster and more efficient for how slow it was.

The service was awful, food was awful and the RACIST BUSBOY chased us out accusing us of not paying for our food then lying about it. Don’t waste your time or money here. 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽
