Also, Mr. Fax:
I work about a mile down the road from Stephenson's and eat there about half a dozen times a year. The restaurant itself is old, because it's been there a long time. The food is still very good, service is fair. Lunch is a much better value than dinner, menu is quite similar for both. The cider is the best in the world. The restaurant needs a facelift. I have a friend who works there, and some scuttlebutt is the Stephenson's family wants to either sell or close the restaurant, and just concentrate on the orchard business. They used to have three other restaurants; one up by KCI airport, one on the Mo-Ark border in Jane, MO on US 71, and a pub called the Red Mule across the street from the original Stephenson's on 40-highway in Independence. The Red Mule was sold, and now it's called The Big Biscuit, which serves breakfast and lunch only. The Jane, MO store and the airport store are closed. So Stephenson's original restaurant is all that's left, and it may be gone by the end of 2006.
