Sams Southern Eatery - Independence

It's a more opaque place, but eating is phenomenal. everything we ordered from the hand made patties to the freshly baked chicken strips(! tasteful. so glad we came through and decided to try. child shares are large enough to feed an adult, but they have plating options for a group.

The eating is quite good, but the personal must write up the order and there are not wrong three separate times and then only half of what they have ordered leave a bad taste in their mouth not coming back for one.

Independence Kansas today at lunch time on my way home. Saw this place on the way in to town at hit it on the way out. This place is a great find and worth the stop if between KC from Tulsa. Only a couple of miles off from the 169.The place looked very low key and I was stopping in for a late lunch at 2pm so it was not busy when I arrived with only one other table with customers. Waitress was friendly and helpful. Ordered the 3 piece fried fish and 3 piece fried oysters with red beans and rice and green beans as sides. Service was fastFood arrive and it was piping hit straight out of the dryer. The portion size was huge. 3 really big pieces of catfish and oysters. The breading was southern style with cornmeal. Breaking open the crust steam and juices came gushing out of the oysters. Delicious. The star today however was the catfish. Perfectly cooked and moist. Seasoning was spot on with the right amount of breading. Their tartar sauce was the perfect complement with the meal and the hush puppies were not shabby either. Sometimes some restaurants neglect their sides but not Sam's. They were taking care of business today. The green beans were pretty good but the red beans and rice was amazing. Get this this as a side if ordering a meal....highly recommended.Sadly I was so stuffed I couldn't eat any more and had to pass on ordering the fried pies the waitress recommended. Will have to order a smaller meal next time to leave room for the pie.

Food was amazing and service was fast and friendly. we will definitely be back. try the pies because they are out of this world!

The food is great every time we eat there and the staff is friendly
