Named after Kansas City’s legendary restaurateur Joe Gilbert (founder of the former Gilbert/Robinson restaurant empire), this steak house pays tribute to a style of hearty American dining that has been vanishing since the Vietnam War. Everything is big at J. Gilbert’s: the booths, the drinks, the steaks — even the appetizers, the baked potatoes and the loaf of sourdough bread that accompanies the meals. J. Gilbert’s doesn’t have the high profile of its Plaza contemporaries but that suits its beef-loving devotees just fine, since this restaurant continues to be one of Johnson County’s best-kept culinary secrets. — Charles Ferruzza
