From the outside, the McDonald's looked like a McMansion, not some fast food joint. Way bigger and nicer than the McDonald's in the suburb where I live.
During my most recent visit, the second floor was open, so after my friend and I ordered our milkshakes, we grabbed a table upstairs.
The interior of the restaurant was just as nice as the exterior. The decor was sleek and elegant, and our table was spotless.
The staff was also friendly and quickly brought us our milkshakes. The employee who brought me my strawberry shake raced up the stairs to give me my milkshake.
If you typically don't like McDonald's fare, the Independence location is unlikely to change your mind. Though it looks way fancier than your average McDonald's, the food is like what you would find at your average McDonald's. My strawberry shake was not any better, not any worse, and- most importantly-not any more expensive than a shake from my local McDonald's.
If you're in the mood for Mickey D's, you can't really go wrong with the Independence location. And if you don't feel like doing the drive-thru and you feel like dining in, you really can't go wrong with the Independence location. It's quiet and clean, and you can take your time sipping your milkshake and/or eating your food.
And you certainly can't beat the ambiance.
