East End Bar

"Susan is the best bartender around! I give her 8 stars for handling a large crowd!"

"Expect a wait if you go on Friday.. good fish, good chicken"

"Filthy place. Never going back. Bathrooms disgusting. Worst public place I've been in. Service beyond bad. Waited over 2 hours for food. Tempted to walk out. Waitress walking around aimlessly to find the right table to serve ."

"We went in for lunch around 3pm. We ordered our food, had to order sides as burgers don't come with fries. We ordered 3 burgers, one with batter fried mushrooms that we had to buy as an appetizer, one with cheese curds that we had to buy as an appetizer, and one with sweet potato fries that we had to buy as an appetizer. Then after our food order was put in, there was a loud local person making rude comments about us being at "her" table. She then stalked our table the entire time waiting for us to leave making comments on when they leave we can move to our table, looking over our shoulders to see how close we were to being done, etc. When w went to the bar to pay for our food, said stalker went and cleaned off our table and took our tip off the table. I said something to the bartender who stuck up for the stalker saying oh that's okay they're good about giving it to me as if it's a normal practice and okay with her. What a horrible atmosphere to eat in. $3.50 for 20 sweet potato fries, $4.50 for 10 battered mushrooms, and $5.00 for 10 cheese curds makes it definitely not worth the drive from Winona for lunch. $8.00 for a dry burger with 4 pickles. We will never go there again! Don't waste your time, money or mental wellbeing. If you're not from Independence you're obviously not welcome there."

"We stopped in for lunch on a Wednesday. It was exactly what I expected for a small town bar. Cold, bottled beer and bar food. We had batter fried cheese curds and mushrooms, they were very good! I had the deluxe bacon cheeseburger and it hit the spot. My wife had the chicken bacon ranch wrap and she really liked that too. Also ordered broasted chicken to go for dinner later that night. That was probably the best of all!"
