This is by far, the worst "steak house" I have visited. I don't even understand how they are in business. I'll be as brief & detailed on my experience. 1) As we went in and were seated, I couldn't be more put off by the smell of old and dirty carpet. Something that usually tells me the restaurant might not a place where I want to eat but I decided to give them a try. 2) For appetizers, we ordered salads - they were not cold at all. Quite below room-temperature actually. 3) Bread was stale and old, but again, we still gave it... read more

good, but not great – A family member from St Louis told me they had the best steak in there life here. So when we had a opportunity to be in K C, we had to try it. A little out of the way for where we were staying. Steaks were very good, not out best ever... they are not grilled with hash marks but put on the grill so the carmelization is over the entire side. I suppose it keeps in juices, but makes the meat more crusty than we are used to. The waitress brought my husband the wrong steak and did not notice it till he told h... read more

I've had better steak at Denny's – We were new to the KC area, and asked where to go for steak. We were told Jess & Jim's was a KC tradition, so we went there, expecting a treat. We were completely underwhelmed! I think this place may have been great in the distant past, but I think now they must be living off their reputation. Otherwise, I can't understand why anyone would give this place such high ratings. The steak was not special at all, and we paid way, way too much. We won't be going back.

Just an average experience – If you are in the area its a fun place to try.Off the beaten path a bit. A good place to eat and relax.A very down home style to the place. I was excited about the steak.It was definitely tender and flavorful, but my at least a quarter of the steak was fat. I spent some time trimming it. The baked potatoes are definitely one of a kind, but overkill for me with cheese, bacon and a ridiculous amount of butter piled on. The prices range 20-40$ per steak so it is definitely not cheap.

Steak Dinner – Took our son and his wife there as we had coupons. It was still pricey but delicious! We all had great steaks - tender and cooked to perfection. Also, we've never seen beets as an appetizer but it's a great idea if you like them, and I do! Definitely worth the trip as it is sort of out of the way.

I wouldn't say this place is terrible by any means, but I do agree that it does not live up to its hype. My rib-eye was a good-sized portion, but lacking in flavor. The ambience is that of a mountain lodge - which is great if we had been in the mountains - but it's Missouri. As stated in the subject line... It's okay, but don't drive out of your way to get there; if you're driving through though, give it a shot.
