This is L.A. Pete's contrary to the Yelp spelling of "La Pete's". So it is not some kind of French name. The breakfast is good, cheap and a nice independently owned place to go for lunch in Independence. I don't know why people eat at the chains like Denny's or Bob Evans down the road. The chains do exactly what their name implies and hold people captive to corporate slavery. Support a locally owned business and come to L.A. Pete's. If you decide to dine at Denny's, you may as well sing the lyrics to Country Feedback by REM. "It's crazy what you could've had" at L.A. Pete's instead. The view of the cemetery across the road is nice. The trees are beautiful in the fall. The barren landscape of the graveyard with criss-crossing branches is evocative in the winter. It is nice to eat some warm food while alive and above ground.
