Pretty great steak for the price. The twice baked potato was delicious too. Waitress was attentive and friendly. I’ll definitely be back.
I have lived in Kansas City my whole life and always wanted to come here for a steak. Tonight me and my girlfriend finally did and we were both absolutely impressed by the food and the portion sizes. Our server Katie took great care of us and made the experience even more enjoyable. We will absolutely be back after we finish eating our leftovers over the next two weeks 🙂
My wife and I have been wanting to check this local place out for a couple of years. Jess & Jim’s sounded great. We went early on a Friday night to grab some prime rib. I had reservation reservations for us at 6 PM. We were seated promptly and had a server who was very kind and pretty good considering it was his second night working here. We each ordered a cocktail, which were very good. And we each had prime rib. The meat itself was pretty stringy and hard to cut with the dull knives that we were given. Mine was undercooked. I ordered mashed potatoes with brown Gravy, which were just okay. My wife enjoyed her baked potato a great deal though. Our server brought out our food when we weren’t even halfway through our salads. He apologized because he knew he was early, but by the time we got to our entrées, they were cold. A great, or even good steakhouse would never do that. The food quality was average or below, and the service was about the same. If you’re looking for mediocrity, you can find it here. By the entrance, they have a list of 10 great steakhouses in the US. I have been to a few of them, including Peter Luger‘s, and Jess and Jim’s really has no place on this list. I literally laughed out loud as we passed by the sign on the way out.
Sat outside. Was so nice. The trains were entertaining. Service was great. Efficient but not hovering. The fried mushrooms are homemade not freezer to fryer. Server recommended the ribeye. Cook was perfect. Nicely but not overly seasoned. The homemade carrot cake was fantastic. The only two flaws, were the potato could have been hotter, and the coffee was not up to the quality of the rest of the meal. But I still ate and enjoyed the potato, and drank the coffee.
Been awhile. Yes it’s expensive. Yes we love the staff and train. I for got what I ordered. A burger with no bun but they call it something else. It was awesome. With a salad and mashed potatoes and dark gravy. Kids are there meals. Mac and cheese looked weak but who cares. My martini could have used a bit more to top it off for the price. But it was delicious. And our waitress was awesome. So another five star !
