Review: Try Jamz restaurant for good home-cooking

by William Crum

There is a place in western Wyandotte County that is known for its good food and service. It’s a place where everybody knows your name and a place you can relax and unwind.

The place I’m referring to is Jamz, at 11657 Kaw Drive in Bonner Springs, Kan.

As you enter Jamz, a bar and grill, the first thing you notice is how clean it is. The atmosphere is warm and friendly. It is truly a place you can unwind and be yourself.

The owner, Janice Barnes, who I’ve known for number of years, and her sister had a restaurant by the name of Sisters. Her sister decided to sell her shares of the business to Janice. Janice is known for her superior customer service, and she makes you feel at home. The staff is well-trained, the servers, bartenders and kitchen staff are truly professionals. They definitely know what they’re doing.

The menu has a wide range of items to choose from. On their breakfast menu are fluffy hotcakes, which they are known for. One couple I overheard said they traveled miles just to have the hotcakes. Jamz has other items on the menu that are equally as good, such as a sunrise breakfast, two eggs, your choice of potato and a choice of toast or biscuit.

Another breakfast favorite is the meaty sunrise, which is two eggs with your choice of bacon, ham or sausage, choice of potato and a choice of toast or biscuit. And for those of us who enjoy steak and two eggs, they have the Jamz steak and eggs, which is a 12-ounce Kansas City strip steak, two eggs served with choice of potato, toast or biscuit.

On the sandwich menu, Jamz has a pork tenderloin, which is a 6-ounce cubed pork, breaded and golden fried, topped with lettuce, tomato, onion, and a choice of cheese and served with French fries or homemade chips. Another all-time favorite is the Jamz burger, charcoal broiled certified Angus beef burgers served on toasted bun with your choice of American, Swiss or pepper jack cheese. All sandwiches are served with French fries homemade chips. You can even substitute a cup of soup and side salad if you want. And for those of us who enjoy sweet potato fries or onion rings, it costs a mere $1.25 more.

On the menu they also have some of the best appetizers such as sweet potato fry basket, jalapeno cheese bites, mozzarella sticks and breaded vegetables, all reasonably priced.

For those of us who like good home cooking, this is definitely the place to go. Such items as homemade meatloaf, turkey dinner and chicken fried steak, not to mention fried shrimp, all are served with two sides and a dinner roll.

For the younger members of the family, they have a kids’ menu with such items as pizza sticks, grilled cheese sandwich cheeseburger, chicken nuggets and hot dog. Each comes with your choice of one side.

Monday night is a special night at Jamz they call Mexican Monday. On that day they have such items as a pork burrito platter made with their own special recipe served with Spanish rice and refried beans. Another all-time favorite is the enchilada platter, with two enchiladas smothered in their signature sauce served with Spanish rice and beans.

There is even carry-out service available on all their items.

If you want to go to a place where you can bring the whole family or you just want to unwind after work this Jamz is the place to go.

I tip my hat to Jamz. The customer service, the food, the overall cleanliness and the overall atmosphere is second to none. I give this restaurant, five stars with its superior customer service, food, cleanliness and superior staff.

They’re located at 11657 Kaw Drive in Bonner Springs, Kan. Hours are 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 7 a.m. to 1:30 a.m. Friday and Saturday, and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday. The telephone number is 913-441-2900.
