Stopped in for a quick lunch on a Tuesday and this place was great! We ordered the turkey club with fries and the chicken tender sandwich with onion rings and were very impressed. The bread is so so soft and delicious (like would love to rest my head on it as a pillow at night soft) and the portions were huge for a great price. The staff was friendly and ready to help which made us feel welcome. We definitely want to come back and try their breakfast and pastries. read more

Dave's is a great local spot to visit for breakfast or lunch. For breakfast, I recommend the cinnamon roll. It's no frills when it comes to coffee. It's pretty much an old school diner. You'll see a lot of regulars hanging out visiting with friends over coffee. There's a ton of seating, so there's always an open seat even when it's busy on a Saturday. read more

Food is good for being on the square. Service is good and so is the ambience. Their sandwiches are good. The only thing is the soda. You could only refill it once if you buy one in there and that's trash. read more

Excellent family business! I drove past this little deli a dozen times and never gave it a chance until a few weeks ago. So glad I did! I like to do dates with my wife as least once a week and I was not disappointed. I had their Ruben sandwich which was delicious. I week later I went back and got their double cheeseburger and it was impressive. Reminded me of the burgers with all of the fixings I used to eat at bbqs at the block party. Wonderful service and the restaurant has that small town ambiance. Highly recommended! read more

Dave's happened to be open on Saturday, and we were at Independence Square to vote. We finished and I got an idea. I had my mind on a cinnamon roll. I took my mom into Dave's, and I saw the Carmel pecan rolls. I also got a hot chocolate. They called our name immediately. I didn't say anything, but the rolls weren't warm. That's why 4 stars. My mom had an apple turnover. The inside of Dave's is bustling like an old time diner. They have a full breakfast and lunch menu. Service was fast and thankfully we got a table. I enjoyed it but would've enjoyed it more if it were warm., read more

This review is for the awesome lunch experience I had on Saturday-February 4th. ^__^ So, this doesn't happen to me very often lol, but I failed being prepared with some sort of meal-prep for my work day that day. When the time came, I decided to quick-search online what local sandwich shops were available not far from my work's location and discovered this cute, little place I've never heard of before. My first experience there I tried their corned beef sandwich with white bread, mayo, mustard, tomato and lettuce, and MAN-that was good! I honestly didn't know what to expect since it was a new place and all, but Gosh-that bread was ridiculously good! I will absolutely go there again in the near future to try more of their sandwiches and goodies! 0__0 Such an awesome experience being there was! Their wall decorations were fascinating and educational too! I had to photo some of their pieces for not only personal journal purposes, but to include in the review I wanted to make. read more

Many selections for lunch and dessert at Dave's. Nothing fancy but good and friendly service. Cost is reasonable with sandwiches and burgers and home baked goods very tasty. read more

Super yummy grilled chicken sandwiches. The perfect lunch fix for anything! Even sweet treats that are delicious! Very fast for the amount of food we took to go and was reasonably priced. read more

This is a classic old deli. You order at the counter from a menu that includes a nice variety of deli and grilled sandwiches including old favorites like egg salad, fried fish and all the deli standards. We both ordered the grilled Reubens, my wife did the chips and drink combo while I did the fries and drink combo. The Reubens were excellent and the fries were the fatter crinkle cut kind and they came out nice and crispy. I'm glad we didn't miss this place. read more

Small town diner with homemade sandwiches, cheesecake, and apple pie. Good if you are looking for something quick and simple. Great location being right on Independence Square. Nice area for strolling after you get done eating. read more

It's hard to find a good sandwich in KC and this place does not disappoint. Having lived in Chicago makes me miss the deli experience. This has become my favorite spot, driving all the way from Midtown. I love the Club sandwich and they have a nice selection of donuts. Also burgers fries and malts. read more

After a visit to the Truman library, we were ready for lunch. Dave's was perfect. Sandwiches, chili, corn dogs, and baked items. The chicken salad sandwich was on homemade bread. Really tasty. Very affordable and quick service. Also short five minute walk to Clinton's Fountain. Would definitely come again if in the area. read more

Great little hometown joint located right by the historic Independence square. Everyone was very friendly and the biscuits and gravy were good. The coffee and hot and fresh; just the way I like it. read more

Dave's has always been our go to spot for the best homemade bread and treats. However, my personal favorite is their turkey club. I have tried many club sandwiches but this one takes the cake. Small, charming, family owned business that is an Independence must. read more

First time I ate here, and it was great. Good price too! If I'm ever in the area, I will be back. read more

At first glance, Dave's looks like your 'small-town' feel sort of place that serves standard food. Not the first place to pop in your mind. If it weren't for someone suggesting their breakfast to me, I probably would've never ended up in here. Glad I made it in though! Their bacon egg croissant is really good; you have egg muffin and biscuit options. They have both a breakfast and lunch menu along with an assortment of pastries. The wait time is fair. The town square is nice, too, for a quick stroll after breakfast. Can't wait to have their croissant again in the near future! read more

Classic deli to a T! The variety of the menu, amazingly friendly service and welcoming environment could be out of a movie. The portion sizes are very generous, you definitely get your money's worth. They put TLC in to their food so it's not the quickest but worth the wait. The crispy chicken sandwich is awesome and the ice cream is delicious! read more

I love this place. Their bread is absolutely PHENOMENAL! But they never ever ever ever answer their phone. It's frustrating.

What an excellent Deli , the bread is fresh and the sandwiches are delicious, burgers are obviously made to order and have not been let down by any menu items . read more

I stopped by a nearby coffee shop and asked if there were any decent lunch spots in the area. They recommended Dave's and I headed over. I didn't have time to finish the coffee I had purchased and when they brought out my food the waitress told me that next time I would have to throw away any outside drink "because of COVID". I am not sure how my coffee is helping spread COVID, but whatever. Also, they put a Kraft single on my turkey club. That is not what I expect when I go to a deli. A quality sandwich does not include a Kraft single. read more

When we go to Independence, we usually wind up eating at Clinton's Drugstore -because if it was good enough for Harry Truman, it should be fine for the likes of peons like me. Today, however, I decided to try a new place and Dave's Bakery and Deli is it. There's not much ambience inside. It's just a big, well-lit room with plenty of tables and a few booths. There seemed to be a bit of everything on the menu; from burgers to grill cheeses, to sandwiches to cold salads. You get the picture. Nothing against Clinton's but this wide variety of foods to order was a definite difference from Harry's old haunt. It was a pleasant dilemma to need a few minutes to study all my options before deciding on what I wanted to eat. After I'd placed my order for a chicken salad on croissant I kept hearing people asking for the grill cheese. It's either a specialty for the place or folks just don't have much imagination in ordering. I suspect the former is true. I specifically asked that my sandwich not have any extra mayonnaise on it as I wondered if their chicken salad would be as wet and sloppy as what you get at Clinton's. The gal behind the counter assured me that they don't add condiments to the chicken salad, just grapes. The sandwich was fine. I also ordered fries and they were standard. No special seasoning or treatment, just your basic crinkle-cut fries. As I ate my lunch, I kept watching and listening to Yun, the lady behind the counter, who took my order. She was busy, friendly, and involved in everything going on around her. It seemed like she knew a lot of the people who came in for lunch. All in all, a great waitress. On a whim, I decided to get two cookies to eat later. OH.MY.GOSH. The Turkish Delight cookie was to die for. I have no idea what is in this soft and unbelievably tasty cookie, but I want more of whatever it is. read more

First off let me start with the service: friendly, HAPPY service every single time I've been there. The cashier brings my meal out as soon as it is made. The order is sent to the kitchen immediately after you order and it is easy to see it being cooked while you wait. If you order a drink you can sip it while you watch or take a seat. The kitchen is clean and efficient. Now for the food: fresh and hot,or crunchy and cool, if it's a salad. The bread is soft and just lovely. If you're in the mood for a hometown deli- this is the best! read more

Everyone I came with enjoyed their food like never before, great juicy burgers, great standard fries, drinks and plenty of tables. The food was served quick but had a fresh feel to the toppings which I loved very much! Definitely coming back for more sandwiches.. Just a lot to choose from. read more

I love this place. It really gives a small-town feel to an otherwise big city. When I want a nice, quiet, delicious meal, I'll come here. Their BLT is so delicious- it's such a simple sandwich but they do it so nicely. Also they have the best sweet potato fries I've ever had in my life. I haven't found a place that has better fries.

We had lunch at Dave's Bakery & Deli today. He had the ham salad sandwiich, and I had the eggs salad sandwich. Both were very good. The service was speedy. We were served within 5 minutes. We will be retuning to try the breakfast menu soon. read more

I go there about once a week. The owners are always friendly. If you become a regular, they will learn your name and always greet you with a smile. The prices are competitive. You generally get your food fairly quickly, and it's one of the few places on the square you can do a 'grab and go' stop. The food is always good and fresh. The sandwiches are very good. I generally get the turkey on wheat, salmon on wheat, or grilled chicken. I hear a lot of people saying their burgers are outstanding as well. read more

I would eat here everyday if I could. It has the best bread in town. The carmel nut rolls are AMAZING! The sandwiches they make are good and the staff is very friendly. read more

Dave's bakery and deli was sort of a spontaneous lunch in the independence square, I had seen it on yelp and was in the area craving a good sandwich. I kinda stumbled upon it but wasn't disappointed, the inside is definitely a older , almost cafeteria like dinning area. Nothing fancy but it feels comfy. Large variety of stuff to get on the menu, I ended up getting the Rueben sandwich with some delicious sweet potato fries. They specialize in sandwiches but can whip up hotdogs, cheeseburgers, chicken and salads too. They also carry a large amount of baked goods and ice cream! If you have a sweet tooth it's worth stopping by here and checking out their selection, the rueben I ordered took a while to come out but wasn't a big deal as they were busy at lunch hour. The sandwich was warm, fresh bread, good quality beef and sauerkraut and sauce gave it a good kick. Would certainly try something else from Daves if I'm in independence area!! read more
