Reviews for Jess and Jim's Steak House in Kansas City, MO
A group of 6 of us tourists decided to take an Uber to this restaurant that was recommended to us & it didn't disappoint! From... the moment we walked in we were promptly greeted & seated. I had the 14 oz KC strip and it was very tender. We also split anappetizer. The highlight of the meal was our server Rebecca. She was so patient and kind and all of her food recommendationswere on point. Read more
Great food and live music at a Kansas City Institution. My wife and I visited again after 19 years when we were boyfriend and... girlfriend. Living further away makes it a little more challenging to visit when we want. This restaurant was our first quotenice restaurant. Visiting again was even better than the first time. The atmosphere is great, with plenty of Kansas Citymemorabilia. It feels like a classic Midwest Steakhouse. You'll have dining options of sitting in the lounge or the den. Wechose the lounge because of the live music. There is also bar seating. The service, from speaking with the host to our waitress,was excellent. Very attentive and kept us constantly updated on the status of our courses. The steaks were cooked perfectly, andthe sides were delicious and enormous. You will not leave hungry. The homemade garlic bread is delicious. The Very Berrylemonade is also pretty refreshing. The live music capped off the excellent experience at this restaurant. If you don't ventureout to Martin City much, don't forget to add this place to your list of places to visit. 135th Street is not too far, and theneighborhood is excellent. Read more
Great experience! The food was delicious and the waitress, Rebecca, was awesome! Will be going again with my family.
Best steak I've ever had!!! We received a gift card for Christmas to Jess & Jim's and finally tried it out last weekend. It was... a Saturday evening so my husband called ahead and made reservations which worked out. We got there at about 6pm it wasn't reallypacked when we got there but within 10-15 minutes of us sitting down there definitely was a wait so I'm glad he called! Ourserver was very nice and helpful. She brought beets out..didn't try them. We ordered the appetizer sampler that came with friedMac n cheese bites, buffalo chicken wings, and onion rings. The appetizers were my least favorite part of our visit. The wingswere small and tasted like the frozen bag from Tyson or something (if not worse..banquet?). The Mac n cheese bites were okay,not really anything exciting. The onion rings were pretty good. The actual dinner is the most important part! I ordered the16oz sirloin, twice baked potato and salad. My goodness! The steak was soooo good, I asked for it to be medium well and it wasperfect. The salad was very fresh and a nice size. The potato was huge and yummy, I think they used Irish cream butter. Myhusband had the steak burger and it was huge! He never has leftovers but he definitely did on this night! We did have drinks aswell which were strong & good! Heated my left overs the next day and my daughter tried the steak & potatoes. She thought thesteak was so good and asked to come here on her birthday (she's 11 lol) We will definitely be back and I'll be enjoying anothersteak for sure! Read more
Had a family gathering dinner of 10 adults, all from out of town. VERY happy with the service and food. We had the Frog Legs,... deep fried mushrooms and another appetizer - ALL GREAT!. Soft drinks and 10 meals (including 8 steaks). Including the 20% tip,our total bill was just over $550. Glad we found this place, based on a locals recommendation. Would return and try more oftheir offerings. Read more
Jess and Jim's has been around a long time. What's their secret to such long term success? Great food in a casual atmosphere.... Better quality steaks than in one of those stuffy, formal, expensive steakhouses and at more affordable prices. Portions aregenerous. Huge baked taters. Enormous cow on the roof of the same place they've been cooking in for all these years. They'reright by the train tracks, so the occasional locomotive will shake the floor as you dine. Adds to the experience in a good way. There are a number of fun drinking establishments nearby. So you can really make a night of it. I recommend getting there earlyto avoid the inevitable long wait times. If a joint is busy every day it should tell you something. Read more
My wife and I found this place on accident and I’m glad we did. We’ve been here 3 times and we both only had the hamburgers... so I can’t comment on any other food items. If you ever see the movie Good Burger, these burgers remind me of the Mondo Burgerbut actually taste very very good. I have a decent/big size hand and this is just as big as my hand. My wife had to cut hers inhalf to eat it. I didn’t have to but would of been better to. I don’t remember the price but honestly, it wasn’t thatexpensive compared to the amount of food you get. Highly recommended if you want a large burger. Read more
The food and service was top notch! The twice baked potato was huge and delicious. I will definitely go back
