I have now been twice. The first time to try the Gladstone Burger and I agree that it was good enough to make my top 2 in the northland for a thick burger- Tay's being first, but way better than LC's. Two fresh patties - you can see the grill and the cook told me that she makes the patties every morning - are grilled and a slice of Swiss and Cheddar cheese covers each patty. Add crispy strips of bacon, lettuce, tomato, pickles and onions with a grilled bun for a superior burger. My second trip I went for the tacos. It seemed that everyone was ordering them while I was there during my first trip and the menu does say they are famous. They are very good. The shells are deep fried quickly then lots of ground beef and lettuce is added, mild or hot sauce is applied and then a good sprinkling of powdered white cheese. A co-worker said that I should try the tenderloin also. A solid lunch pick for the Gladstone area.

A space across the street from the original location on 19th St now has indoor seating options but still has a fairly limited menu, which is fine because all I want is their amazing burgers and fries. The Two-handed burger is really huge so order with caution, especially when accompanied with an order of fries, which are also very large. Smashed, seasoned and lots of melted cheese with sauteed onions make this hot beast a masterpiece on a soft roll. The fries have a peppery kick with the coating of seasoning salt. Only steps from a streetcar stop make this an ideal lunch stop, yet parking on a Saturday afternoon was plentiful on 19th and around the corner on Walnut. Welcome back Sauced!

Definitely worth the try!…read more Sauced finally opened their own space last month - they thought of everything down to the tiniest details in decor. The food tasted great, especially their house-made limeade! But due note that the menu is a la carte style and can get pricey very quickly. They also don't give complimentary refills and charge for extra things of ketchup. It's located in the crossroads, next to the streetcar stop. So it's great for lunch or anyone looking for a quick bite on the go.

My review is, for me, the burger,its not that good, its just not for me. My expectation was, they had the "IT FACTOR" for the burgers. Something you would have expected from the day, 60/70 years ago. The old larger bun, not biscuit size, grilled burger meat, mine seemed losely patted and steamed and more than pickle, onion and mustard. Maybe thats just the way its always been and others love it. Im glad I went but it is a one stop for me. I wish you another 70 years of continued service and a great icon of Independence, Mo.

The carhops came right up to our window to take our order and were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The menu is surprisingly large for such a small place. We ordered the Wiz Burger, chicken nuggets, tots, onion rings, fries, and Brown Cow root beer floats. Prices were very reasonable, which was a nice bonus. One thing I really loved was the option to order their homemade root beer in an ice-cold glass mug (which you return when you're done). It definitely adds to the nostalgic experience. Our favorite items were the crispy tater tots, the chicken nuggets (which were more like mini chicken strips), and the root beer floats. The Wiz Burger was definitely unique, but it wasn't a crowd-pleaser in our car. It's made with loose meat mixed with onions, pickles, and cheese, which may appeal to some but wasn't our favorite. I'd definitely go back to try the chicken sandwich, pork tenderloin, or spicy buffalo dog. The food itself might be closer to 3 stars, but the unique throwback nostalgia of the carhop era bumps the overall experience into 4-star territory. It's a must-try-at-least-once kind of place.

Chips and queso were pretty good. I like that they lightly seasoned the chips. I was expecting the pork and chicken to have a big punch of flavor but it was really lacking. I liked the flour tortilla shells that were used but it would have been better if they had warmed the tortillas first. They do provide a generous serving of meat, but I would have liked more toppings on the tacos. Service was ok. They were able to move through the orders fairly quickly. If anyone is a germaphobe, I wouldn't recommend eating here. I saw he used the same gloves to grab your order card, stick it up near the window, prepare the chips and grab the tortillas. It wasn't that big of a deal but just a heads up if something like that were to bother you.

I got the Dr Pepper burger & an NA grapefruit IPA. The burger was very yummy, as were the fries that came with it. There was a casual sauce for the fries and I loved it. The beer was good, but not amazing. It wasn't made by Red Crow though, it was a can. I know Red Crow makes some top notch beers from visiting them previously, though. I just didn't want alcohol because I went in with a headache & it would have made it worse. Red Crow's ambiance was great, though. It's cute & quirky and very relaxed. Everyone in there seemed happy (staff included). I'll make my way back again in the fall if they have their chai stout back.
