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.

Overall great dining experience! Server was good and attentive, food was served hot and look great on the plate. Only issue was the 3 wine choices I made, they were out of stock, but our server made a recommendation that worked. Server also made sure to check back often, but not constantly, she had a good flow of checking in on her tables. Enjoyed our evening

The food was Great! Our server was very informative and friendly. We enjoyed having the manager coming to our table to greet us and check in with us from time to time. Again, the food was awesome. I did not like lamb before coming here because of the taste. After having lamb here...I love the taste! Thank you for a great birthday celebration!

I tried to use my $25 Opendoor rewards and was told by the restaurant they don’t accept it. I would expect more from since they have it listed as an option on here.
