Hi-Boy Drive-in - Independence, Missouri

Brady Brady

We don't eat anything but ice cream here, because when we visit Independence, we eat at Mugs Up. The service has always been great at Hi Boy, and last time we were there, the employee overfilled my hot fudge sundae. I asked him to clean up the outside of the cup, but the manager told him to just make another one, which I appreciated.

An old fashioned family owned burger joint serving the residents of Independence since the late 1950's. The fast service is almost as impressive as their longevity and food is also really tasty. The princess and I both had the single 1/4 pound hi-boy burger and split an order of french fries. The food was served hot , fresh and really fast. Plenty of off street parking. Order at the counter , no drive through and no delivery. Take it with you or eat in your car as I didn't see any tables. A few hours later we came back for a twist cone. The Princess loves a nice chocolate and vanilla twist cone and they have them here!

Grilled chicken sandwich is boiled, not Grilled.
They may slightly grill it, but it's mostly boiled.
Mediocre food honestly.
They also fill your cup completely full of ice.
But hey it's Independence... what do expect

Delicious food, fast service and an old fashioned feel what more can you want.

Haven’t been since I was a kid stopping by for food before a Royals game. Great trip down memory lane as I took my little one there for their first time.

Outstanding place, definitely stop by!

First time here. My husband ordered poker tenderloin sandwich for us, & French fries & onion rings.
▪︎The food was yummy, great French fries, and I picky, onion rings were spot on. All the food was nice and hot.
Prices were little higher than expected, and I wasn't at a sit down restaurant. Is my only complaint. But presently the economy is aweful.
▪︎Parking is not laid out real well, if you have never been here before.
▪︎But quick service. I would recommend going, but be prepared for the to around 15.00 to 16.00 per person.

I've been a customer since before I worked at the Standard Oil gas station across the street, or well over forty years. I moved six hours away a couple of years ago, so whenever I'm in the area I always drop by. I really wasn't hungry, but I knew that they had brought back the onion rings and I just had to get some. After I ordered ($7) I handed the girl my card and told her to run it as a debit card. She informed me that they didn't take that, but credit card only. I told her not to run it as credit and she promptly handed it back, but she had already stuck it in. As I was pulling out a $20 dollar bill she hollered to cancel the "ring in a bag". So I'm standing there with both my wallet and mouth hanging open, watching her calmly walk away. I just walked out. I haven't checked online yet, but I'm hoping that I didn't get charged. To be fair and transparent, this is the first time I've ever been treated like this at this location. This has been my favorite location because I always believed they done the best cooking.
The counter staff is the face of the company, and they failed me miserably.

Haven’t been here in years but it’s still as yummy as ever. Burgers and shakes are both fantastic.

Hi-Boy has daily specials that consist of discounts/free based on purchase of certain sides with sandwhich entree. This particular Tuesday was their 1/4 cheeseburger which included any size free drink with purchase of regular side. I purchased fries and with my cheese burger and added miracle whip with tomatoes, lettuce and ketchup. You can add a variety of condiments, of your choosing. Service from time of order to pickup was about 8 minutes with 3 other people after me. You can eat in the parking lot and there is no dine-in, this is more of a bigger than most hamburger joint, but with decent room for 10-12 people to order from inside at 1 of 2 registers.
