Bogeys is one of the best places to eat in leawood! Laid back fun and delicious.
Great food laid back atmosphere. The oldest bar in Leawood. All the classic bar food but homemade.
When my husband said, Let's try J. Gilberts I knew it MUST be a steak house (his favorite... mine sometimes). I agreed a little half-heartedly. It's on a busy street and the exterior wasn't that terrific to me, so I didn't have high expectations. Boy was I surprised! From the time we opened the door till the time we departed I was absolutely thrilled! The atmosphere was fabulous, wonderful jazz playing, comfortable and intimate seating and the food was fabulous, (and I'm not a big meat eater)! Service was impeccable as well! It IS expensive, but we will definitely go back for special occasions. If you sign up with your email they send special, money off coupons pretty regularly.
Place to drink and watch the " Glory days " former East/ Jayhawk wanna - be' binge. Food unpredictable, surly wait staff more concerned with clearing out the tab and getting on. Could ah, would ah - with the right staff. Dark, silly but a place to go when desperate for an overpriced beer.
I got the Bogey burger w/fries and my friend got the Reuben both very good and we had such a nice server.The Restaurant was clean and almost packed which says a lot for mid-week Thursday.What a find Bogeys is!
Does anybody know where to get a coupon for Fogo De Chao?
Bloomin’ Onion, Grilled Shrimp on the Barbie, Angus strip steak, Sydney’s Sinful Sundae are awesome at Outback Steakhouse.

When they first opened this 54th ST. location on NE Barry Rd. near Liberty, it was one of only a few restaurants in that area. Now it's very built up with many choices. Many have come and several have gone in the past 10 years. The 54th St. seems to attract the shoppers from the near by strip malls and Wal-Mart. In the early years, this 54th ST. was at least OK, nothing special, but decent enough and closer to Kearney where we live than most other restaurants. But we stopped going there after a waiter, botched our large group order. Example: "Oh you wanted the salad before your meal?" Complaining only got us a gift certificate for $10. off the next visit. No thanks. On an earlier trip, our waiter asked us to give him his tip before we were done, because he was ending his shift. Amazing! To be fair, the Liberty area is service worker challenged. and good help is hard to find and harder to keep given the low wages and poor management in many of these corporate chain boxes. The food at 54th St. is similar to other family American fare style boxes like Appplebee's, etc. We usually opt for The Corner Cafe which is a few feet away from the 54th St. location.
This place by far is the worst i've been too in years. My steak was nuked, i asked for medium and i got a well done hockey puck, my bbq chicken breast was a flimsy little piece of flash frozen chicken like the tenderbird brand with cheap ole kraft bbq sauce on it, and the worst part it was cold when i finally got my order. The ranch dressing for salads is awful as well. The servers sound like they are reading from a card and always ask if you want dessert every time they come to the table in hopes they can sell you something else. The place is over priced for the amounts you get also. I'll never go back.
Best authentic Mexican food in town. Period. Staff is always super friendly and attentive and salsa bar is great. Huge food portions and small prices top it all off. The family and I were eating here the other evening and I decided to try the steakburger for the first time (I could never bring myself to order it because the other food is always so good). Well, I ordered the double and when it got to me my jaw dropped. Two half pound patties! It was huge, juicy and full of flavor! With fresh lettuce, onion and tomato, I needed no other condiments. Now not only is this my favorite spot for Mexican, but for burgers too! I guess I have to go twice as often now!
Best place in town!!! Wonderful dining experience and will be back!

My Father and I took some friends from Springfield,Mo. here,upon my suggestion.I had read a few reviews and they deemed it a worthy place to take these people.Boy!! We were disappointed on a large scale.We found the meat to be salty and overcooked.The salad bar was comprised of basic open the can and dump in a fancy bowl dishes and the soups were very much the same.We all agreed that you paid for ambience. Which was nothing more than the same fancy woodwork from the previous failed restaurant,that we also tried one Sunday for Brunch.The only word that comes to my mind is "Lackluster".

I had heard really good things about Jess and Jim's since I moved to KC 11 years ago but never found the time to try it.
Well I tried it and was extremely disappointed!
The pickled beets as a complimentary appetizer were a nice touch, but the rest of the meal was not so great.
The salad was bland and uninspiring. They might as well dump it straight from a Dole salad bag. The garlic toast was thick and somewhat soggy.
Now we get to the entrees. The chicken was dry and overcooked with not a hint of seasoning. It kind of reminded me of Popeye's chicken at triple the price. The ribeye was pan fried and crusted. Again, without a hint of seasoning. Very plain and bland. It was something I could have done myself at home with a hot frying pan on the stove. Sadly, the twice cooked potato was the best part of the meal. Even the coffee was bitter and would be better served on a hunting trip.
The service was adequate but nothing spectacular. The decor has probably not changed in 20 years. Old and dated. Overall, a very disappointing evening. Don't bother wasting your time or money with Jess and Jim's, there are a lot better places to eat in the local area.

We went to Jess & Jim's on a whim one night and wasn't totally disappointed, but definitely wasn't impressed either; especially with their reputation.
I actually ordered the chicken fried steak, so I can't give my personal opinion on the actual steaks, but the my meal was pretty good. Honestly, one of the best chicken friend steaks I've had in quite a while; the fries, beef soup and garlic bread were also quite good.
My fiance got the surf and turf while his brother got just a t-bone. The lobster was apparently very good, but both the steaks were not up to par. We may be a bit snobby when it comes to steak (we'd rather eat them at home, haha) but for the price and the impression that we were coming to this well-known steakhouse, the food just wasn't mindblowing.
I'd have no problem going back and trying something else, but my hopes won't be so high this time!

I do a weekly look-in on Charles' excellent restaurant reviews, and got to thinking about Plaza III. We were only in KC for a few years, but this became one of our all-time favorite restaurants of anywhere we have lived across the country. From a great scotch & soda in the bar while we wait for a table, to the relish tray with immense cold radishes, to the sublime steaks, it is the 'real deal'. Great for a romantic dinner, a client/attorney bash, or just a good meal. My only question is how do I get Charles, Truman, Bob, and his JoCo or Ward Parkway 'lady friends with Botox' to join us?
I read that the Power & Light District is the 'new' place for high-end dining in KC. Folks, the Plaza is a setting that cannot be reproduced by any developer or urban renewal politico in modern times. (Yes, I know that the Plaza was 'the' Nichols development of its' day). Keep firing up the lights on Thanksgiving and patronizing the merchants in your faux Spanish mission gem.

While this has all the decor of your standard TGI Friday's or Applebees establishments, the difference is the menu and staff. You will absolutely have no problem finding something you like and we've yet to have anything we didn't care for. Our favorites are the ribs, chicken fried stake, and anything with the jelapano bacon on top.

Anticipating one of the best steaks ever, (my father raved about real Kansas City Strips) I was greatly disappointed, and then angry at the response to my complaint.
I could not cut the large Kansas City Strip with the very good knife they provided. Chewing this piece of leather was impossible. When I complained, they allowed me to replace it with a filet, about the size of a golf ball on steroids.
They did not offer a free dessert, or any other kind of recompense.
Considering the cost of this meal, I would never return to any of their restaurants.
Boo.

I love Maker's Mark, the bourbon, so much that several years ago I convinced my college friends to pile in a car an make the trip down to Loretto from Mizzou to see its place of birth. Marker's Mark the restaurant, unfortunately, did not even begin to live up to the wonderful product that made the name famous. The menu was expensive and extremely boring. It was essentially TGI Friday's with a better designer, better (but more expensive) cocktails, and slightly higher food costs. You would think a restaurant named after one of the country's greatest whiskies might attempt to incorporate some in at least one recipe. Maybe a KC strip with a great whisky sauce or whisky braised short ribs. Unfortunately, nothing of the sort exists. Instead, the menu consisted largely of tired "nice" restaurant staples. That wouldn't be a bad thing really if everything was well executed. But to this reviewer's disappointment, that was far from the case.
I recently dined there with my wife and a friend who's love of Maker's Mark surpasses even my own. Everyone was disappointed. I had the cleverly named "duck squared," which was ok, but for $28 I was expecting something that had some more thought behind it. The breast was overcooked and the whole dish was, frankly, boring. Even worse was my appetizer, the "signature" onion loaf. Why someone thought baking onion rings all together in a loaf pan was a good idea, let alone a "signature dish," is completely beyond me. Imagine you purchased some wonderful onion rings from Sonic, put them in the fridge for a few hours, then smashed them together on a plate and micro-waved them for a couple of minutes. Sound like a good idea? Well, that is the best way I can think of to describe my experience eating "the loaf." It was a soggy, greasy mess. The rest of the table's food was similarly disappointing. The only bright spot was a very well-made Maker's Manhattan.
The atmosphere was, in a word, odd. The bar area was loud, but fun. The porch out under the KC Live canopy was great. The small room in which we were seated, however, was uncomfortably quiet and strangely bright. The place would be better served by seating everyone in the main bar area. Though, at least our server was relatively attentive.
With so many other restaurant choices in the downtown area, I cannot fathom ever eating at Maker's Mark Bourbon House and Lounge again. 1924 Main, Michael Smith, Le Fou Frog, Harry's Country Club, Phillip's Chop House, Bristol, and The Majestic all offer a much better dining experience for essentially the same price. Hell, I'd rather chomp down on one of Ted Turner's buffalo burgers or sip a wonderful milkshake at the fantastic, if a bit dirty, Town Topic before exposing myself to a place that considers the onion loaf a "signature dish" and then has the audacity to charge me to eat it.
I may go back to Maker's Mark, but I'll be drinking my dinner.

Re: “Bogey's Bar and Grill”
Tried the Friday catfish special a couple of weeks ago and my mom had the shrimp special. Both were great -- very light breading, good crunch, nice portions, served hot, at a reasonable price. Server was very nice and checked back several times. We'll definitely go back.
