Had a great experience here! Came in with a large group this morning and was seated immediately with excellent service. Our server Mindy was a hit! She was super patient with all of our orders and very helpful. It was a very cold morning but the Big Biscuit warmed us up and filled our stomachs with delicious food. I got the Southern Sunrise, a very sweet treat that filled me up quickly and left me with plenty of leftovers to take home. Highly recommend!!!

We were 8th in line, and it felt like a 5 minute wait. We were sat by the kitchen doors, and the staff ran in and out at a crazy speed, but there was nothing but positivity coming out of their mouths. They communicated with us that the kitchen was a little short staffed, but it didn't feel like a long wait at all. Erin was an amazing! She stayed in contact with us but made sure her section was completely covered (which was packed, by the way.) No stressed out or rushed feeling from the staff and the bill looked good! Loved this experience!

Went to the original The Big Biscuit in Independence and wow, the portions are huge! The friend chicken is outrageous and the sticky biscuit was swimming in melted sugar, cinnamon and icing-that's wasn't a bad thing. Leave the calorie counting at the door! Friendly staff too!

Really fun place to have breakfast. Nice staff and very cozy environment. They have all these photos of old time movie stars. Eggs, bacon, and crispy hash browns. What more can you ask for? Biscuits and gravy, you say? Delicious and very satisfying Midwest cooking. My friend ordered toast, and the waitress said, "Toast? You can eat that at home. Have the biscuits that we're known for." We laughed our asses off and agreed she made a solid point. Definitely recommend.

Ambiance was casual Sunday morning crowd. We were seated immediately. The server gave us time to browse the menu. Keeping this short and sweet. The did was freshly cooked, order was exact when it arrived and delicious. Chicken was seasoned perfectly and offset the sweetness of the syrup on the waffles. Pancakes were described as delicious. I will definitely try them on my next visit. Hubby said the portion amounts were in point and made it worth the money spent !!
