Responders Grill and Bar

I had to try the place in Blue Springs as the one in Independence has never opened. I am not convinced the Independence location will ever open which is a shame because it's close to me and I would definitely go there more. I had chicken fried chicken and it was good. A decent amount of food for the money. The Blue Springs location was understaffed and the bartender had to come out and take our order and there was only like 3 other customers there eating. You pay at the table. I asked my waitress where everyone was and she said "no one wants to work and they are short on staff". Seems to pretty much the norm since COVID-19 began

Food is great but honestly the atmosphere is worth every penny.

If you want a chill restaurant/bar experience with that home town feel, this is it.

Will be going back soon.

Food and service were amazing. They have a veterans and first responders discount which was nice. The had the AC running so it was really cold but it was very humid inside. The conflicting temp and humidity made my husband feel sick.

Nice bar & grill. The service was a little slow, but we did have 5 adults and 3 little ones, so it was ok. Food was good, with alright prices, but I thought the portions were a little small for the dinner platters. I enjoyed everything. I would give it more of a 3.5 stars than 4, but it didn't deserve a 3, so I gave it 4

My family found responders when we were looking for a quick bite to eat before leaving town. We were very impressed with the food for a "bar and grill." Several of us had the taco salad and it rivaled my favorite Mexican restaurant as far as quality and taste goes. The shrimp po-boy was also delicious. Service was a little slower than we would have anticipated for a bar and grill but it was not traditional "bar" food that did take longer to prepare.
