Independence Store
When you go to Independence, you must stop at the Independence General Store where you can get something to eat and drink, and meet some of the local folks. Without a doubt, this is the social center, the hub, of the community.
Blue Willow Cafe
We wanted a place where the local Burton and Washington County families could come and fill their bellies, see familiar faces and share a meal over the simple plates that carry with them a message of community and family.
The idea behind the café is to have at least 75% Farm to Table in the first year. I have a strong passion for knowing where your food comes from and knowing what our kids and loved ones are putting in their bodies. We welcome everyone and hope that everyone will feel comfortable pulling a chair up to one of our tables.
Must Be Heaven
We’ve been serving sandwiches, quiche, salads, and homemade pies to groups of all sizes in our charming historic downtown building since 1982. Create your own combination by adding a hot soup, fresh fruit, side salad or delicious broccoli salad, then make your way to our antique ice cream parlor for hand-dipped Blue Bell ice cream! Must Be Heaven has a private dining area that seats up to 24 comfortably. Call for room rental rates. After business hours, however, the entire restaurant is available for a charge. Restaurant seats 215 including the private room.
