Editorial Review for Jess & Jim's Steak House – by Jane Berkowitz
In Short
Family owned for more than 60 years, Kansas City appreciates this gem but out-of-towners make a point to visit, too, thanks to national publicity. USA Today declared Jess & Jim's one of the nation's top steakhouses. All beef is hand-cut and trimmed on the premises and ranges from 5-ounce filets to the 30-ounce porterhouse. Prime rib is served Sunday through Thursday, while pork chops, ham steaks, chicken and seafood round out the dinner menu. Burgers and sandwiches are popular on the lunch menu.

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 her. She did not appear to be brand new there, I would think they would check thier orde before bringing it out, good wait staff always do. so they cooked him another fairly promptly, but I was 1/2 done by time he got his. Salad was pretty generic, but ok. Seems like there's too many good places to eat to go back, I assume KC has some truely great steak places, just not this one.
Pros: a 'joint' not a chain
Cons: not special enough to go back

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.
Cons: pricey
