• American • Plaza / Brookside

Booked 43 times today

Contrary to popular belief, JJ's Restaurant is not named for popular owner Jimmy Frantzé. In 1985, Jimmy purchased JJ Malane's from his former business partner and the saloon's namesake. Malane's went away, but JJ's remained, and a West Plaza fine dining icon was born. Jimmy invested his enthusiasm and passion for exceptional contemporary American food, steaks and wine to build one of the finest restaurants in Kansas City just a block west of the Country Club Plaza. He helped create an environment that attracted and kept one of the most professional staffs in the region. He inspires so much loyalty that when the new JJ's reopened 18 months after a 2013 fateful fire, almost all of his staff re-joined him.

The ambience was amazing, it felt like New York or San Francisco! The service was excellent, all staff were very intuitive. We both had the filet which would have been wonderful if it had not had an overly salty au jus. We were there for restaurant week and the server advised us that the sauce was something the chef did especially for restaurant week and would not be on a normal steak order. Our meal would have been absolutely perfect if the chef had just not tried so hard! The filet could have stood on its own merits. It was cooked to perfection. The brussel sprouts side dish is fantastic. This is a definite “special occasion” place, pricy but well worth it.

Fantastic service - impeccable. Steaks were cooked to perfection. We could have done without any sides. We had mashed potatoes and creamed spinach for sides. I would pass on the spinach in the future. You don’t need sides anyway. It was a nice experience. We had a 2 yo in our party. They brought paper and markers and made it a nice experience for her as well.
