About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
  • Good for business meals
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 experience was very good. My steak’s temperature was medium, however, and I requested medium rare.

    I'm glad that your overall experience was very good. Just FYI, if you make sure we know that your steak is overcooked, we will get you a steak cooked a perfect medium rare.

    My wife and I celebrated our 30th Anniversary last Saturday at JJs. Everything was an amazing experience. we were greeted with friendliness and warmth from the hostess when we entered the restaurant. She wishes us a Happy Anniversary and said she was glad we chose JJs to celebrate it. Our server, Christopher, was awesome. He started us off with a toast of champagne and wished us a Happy Anniversary. He was a true professional who could elaborate n the menu and suggest some great choices for us. His service was very attentive without being too intrusive. He had a great personality and really it made our evening special. The food was excellent, as we expected it to be as JJs has a fantastic reputation. Christoper's service is what pushed the evening to the next level. The restaurant itself is decorated in a somewhat classical style with some modern artwork, etc. It is not too stiff nor trendy. It is a very relaxing environment to have an upscale meal. I highly recommend JJs.

    This is a favorite quiet spot for a job candidate interview. Today met all expectations. Andrew has been our server the last two times and does a wonderful job. He's there, pleasant and helpful when you need him and not in the way when you need space. Thank you for a wonderful experience as always!

    We were pleasantly surprised that the noise level was low enough for us to carry on conversations during dinner. The food was wonderful, as usual. Our waiter was awesome. JJs is our favorite restaurant in KC, and where we take guests from out-of-town.

    What a fantastic anniversary dinner we had this evening! Our server was so sweet and attentive, the glass of wine was wonderful and the calamari is our favorite in town. We had filet and lamb chops - those chops are absolutely to die for. Our cocktails were tasty and we had such a nice time. Thank you all!
