    We stopped at this location for lunch with great anticipation for a nice meal (the Blue Springs location was closed for good over a year ago) I was craving a Taco Bravo. I ordered one and a taco burger. What I was served was not even what would call edible!!! The taco burger had apparently shrunk by 2 full inches in diameter... darn the pesky economy. Not sure when it shrank, perhaps during the pandemic, or after the elections... who knows. No matter, it was not only quite smaller than I remember, but it was cold, the bun was wrinkled & tough - as though It spent one too many minutes in the microwave; and the meat was non existent. A sorry excuse for a sandwich of any type. The Taco Bravo, wasn't "bravo" at all... it was a cold, cracked total mess. The only edible food item was the side of Potato Oles we'd ordered. At least they were hot and fresh. This place was a huge disappointment! And by the way... when we entered the lobby, we'd noticed that half of the tables were all stacked against the front windows of the dining area, and the chairs were placed upside down on top of those tables. I wondered if they were even open. I do not recommend stopping at this location at any time. Hopefully soon, they'll identify and resolve all these issues... otherwise, I doubt they'll stay in business here very much longer.

    When out of town we like to try something new...weather its fast food or restaurant. Service was good, place is clean and freezing cold...as for the food...when your really hungry it works....would be much better if they could crisp up the burrito. Potato rounds were good.

    Stopped at the Taco Johns on Noland at 1pm on a Friday, but Ive stopped here numerous times when Im in the area. Today they were super rushed and short staffed, so i just kinda hung out a bit while they struggled in the kitchen. My mobile order was ready quickly, and the food was served nicely. It could have been a bit warmer. The lobby was pretty clean, especially as short-staffed as they seemed today. This is one of the few places where you can find Cherry Pepsi in the fountain. Overall, compared to other fast tex-mex chains in the area, you'll probably have a decent experience here.

    Below is a photo of what $6 gets you at Taco John's. Food was overdone and tasted awful. Also customer service is non-existent. Might as well just go to the McDonald's next door

    Delicious golden potato oles, bean burritos, and a side of guac.

    I'm a die hard Taco John's fan. Forget about Taco Bell and Taco Bueno. Taco John's is the only fast food taco place I need. I wish one would open up in the Johnson county area. Like OP or Mission. I need one closer to home!! The food was tasty and fresh. I ordered my burritos with no cheese and they arrived with no cheese! I usually go into fast food restaurants expecting any "customized" orders to be wrong once delivered, so this was a pleasant surprise. The potato oles were perfectly seasoned and crispy. This is important since potato oles are what make TJs stand out. The staff was friendly. My family's order was correct and they delivered it to our table. The place was clean when we were there. It was during the lunch hour, so it was busy. I didn't notice any dirty tables or empty salsa containers. The staff was keeping up with the rush pretty well. I'll definitely be stopping in again next time I'm in this part of the world. :)

    It had been YEARS since I had Taco Johns and I was pleasantly surprised at how good my chicken quesadilla was. I loved the mexi rolls with sour cream and the potato oles in cheese sauce. Friendly service here and my order was all correct. I'll be going back a lot more often!

    Love the taco burger. It's not on the drive thru menu but just ask for it. I have eaten at TJs for years. Glad they are this close to me.

    Staff are unprofessional and rude. Food is subpar compared to other taco johns locations. McDonald's is better, faster, and way cheaper.

    Tried out Mugs Up in Independence, Missouri, and absolutely loved the old-school drive-in…read moreatmosphere. 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.

    I have been to Mug's up a few times over the years. I always go there to get my fried burrito fix…read moreand a root beer when I can. The root beer is homemade, not super sweet which is nice. The burritos are always good. My son and I went recently and got the zip loose meat burger. We learned that these are not our type of thing. I did not like the mushy texture at all. This will not stop me going in the future. The service is always quick and friendly. It's a drive in place, you drive up, they come to your car and order.

Hi-Boy is a small burger spot with no seating inside and NO DRIVE THRU, which I find charming. It harkens back to the 50s when it was first opened and even has a neon sign that looks great at night. But the whole visit here was about the burger, and while they don't have bacon here, the burger was cooked to perfection. With just a bit of char around the edges for a crunch and a flavorful and juicy middle of the patty would've been enough to get a great review. But Hi-Boy also makes an AMAZING French fry that I couldn't get enough of. This spot is a very long drive from my house, but that's not going to stop me from visiting again and again. You can see more of our experience on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/PQLoDu8-DYs

    If social media existed in the 1980's then this Hi-Boy would have hundreds of 'check-ins" from me…read more I used to work just a couple of miles from here for about a decade and I was regularly here to destroy their daily specials or my favorite - the Double Hi-Boy Jr. with rings. An inside walk up counter without any seating on the premises, is one of the reasons my visits have been infrequent over the past 35 years. I usually head to one of their two other locations now so I don't have to eat in my vehicle. This past Saturday i did stop in and order a tenderloin, since i am in the middle of "Ralphie's Tenderloin Tour" with 12 tenderloins under my belt (figuratively and literally) in the past month. Unfortunately their breaded pork tenderloin is mass produced and frozen, so it did not make it close to the top tier in my rankings, but for what it is ...it ain't bad. I did like that they put plenty of veggie toppings and their burger sauce on it for maximum taste. I'll probably stick with the burgers on all future visits. 3.5 stars for the tendy... 5 stars for the burgers, rings, cyclones, variety and value of the menu, and of course the decades of nostalgia and fond memories.

I ordered my burger, I got the number 11 Burger and it turned out pretty good. However the lady in front of me she just got a drink but she didn't pay for it which I thought was strange. My major con with this place is something that Whataburger possibly can't control but there's a lot of homeless around the building and a fellow came up by my vehicle when I took my bird into the car and tried pleading me for money but he was loitering around the Whataburger the whole time and when he went away as well as some other people in his situation, they all moved to the car wash next door and it kind of brings down wanting to eat here or go here either if you got these people just lingering around possibly becoming a Target. I'm surprised nobody else has mentioned that in their reviews, overall wouldn't recommend
