The dark wood of the bar and booths at Nick and Jake’s gives it a DC-steakhouse atmosphere, one where high-powered businessmen could order a rib-eye and decide the fate of the free world. Or just watch sports. The place is loaded with TVs and subscribes to all the major sports packages (MLB Network, NFL Sunday Ticket, etc.). If sports aren't your thing, a classy patio awaits outside, and a small private room accommodates more intimate gatherings. On Sundays, the regular menu of American classics gives way to something even more American: a brunch buffet.

Restaurant Details

A couple of decades ago, this faux-roadhouse restaurant way south of the I-435 loop actually would have been one. But as Johnson County sprawls south, this attractively designed high-concept restaurant does more than offer the best kind of roadhouse-style food (steaks, sandwiches, meatloaf) in a Prairie-inspired dining room; there’s also a state-of-the-art sports bar on the other half, boasting no fewer than 28 TVs (all tuned to athletic events) and enough parking outside the free-standing building to contain a factory’s output of cars. And that’s just what it looks like; the place has been jamming since the two owners opened its doors, proving that a “neighborhood” restaurant in the right new housing development will lure in the SUV-and-Volvo set. The prices aren’t outrageous here, considering that the portions are gargantuan (the Towering Chocolate Cake could feed a family of ten); even the doorknob-sezed salad croutons look like they’ve been zapped by a Growth Ray. — Charles Ferruzza
