JT's Grill is smack in the middle of the legacy part of DeSoto and you can't miss it along the main road north of K-10. Regional, local, and other sports memorabilia lines the walls of the bar & dining room. There's is seating both inside & out (in good weather) and it's fairly spacious. The menu is essentially bar & grille fare with daily specials mixed in, and you can always get a solid meal & a drink for a reasonable price. Plus there is generally sportsball of some variety on the TVs, so stop in if for nothing more than to cheer on the home team. If you don't do one of their daily specials, then I would suggest the pork tenderloin, which is hand-breaded and pounded flat. The sandwich is huge and delicious, and it's one of the anchors of their menu. Burgers & more are all over the list of choices and all are a great option. Service is always friendly and generally hoppin' and when you mix good food with good people, then great things happen. Maybe it's not four stars on the Michelin scale, but for where you are and for what you might be after, JT's Grill gets it done with all the stars.

The burnt ends were very much the burnt ends of the beef - my husband really liked them but I had some dry bits that were not fun to eat around. Mac & cheese was good, not off the charts.

1/2 Burnt Ends BBQ - Kansas…read more When you're in Kansas/ Kansas City area, BBQ is non-negotiable. Since we were staying near our Airbnb, we searched for a local place and landed on Burnt Ends BBQ, a restaurant that's well known for its barbecue sauces. We walked in with no expectations and were quickly seated. Our server, Lily, greeted us right away, took our drink order, and brought out complimentary cornbread bites. Those little bites were a fantastic start to the meal. If I lived nearby, I'd probably order those every visit. I had already decided what I wanted, but my wife was doing her usual "let me study every item on the menu" routine. Lily recommended the All the Ends Platter, so I changed my order and we decided to share it. The platter included beef, pork, and corned beef burnt ends. I chose the creamy coleslaw while my wife selected the baked potato salad. Presentation was excellent. Everything looked like it was going to be outstanding. Unfortunately, the flavor didn't quite match the appearance. The corned beef burnt ends were decent, the pork was just okay, but the beef was easily the best of the three. Since Burnt Ends is known for its sauces, I sampled all four. None of them were what I'd call unforgettable, but my favorites were the Thick & Bold followed by the Honey Glaze. The sides were a mixed bag. The baked potato salad was served warm, which makes sense considering it's modeled after a baked potato, but both my wife and I prefer potato salad cold. It just wasn't for us. The creamy coleslaw also seemed to be missing something. It wasn't bad--it simply lacked the flavor I was hoping for. Since neither of us cared much for the sides, my wife ordered a basket of fries. Crispy, hot, and perfectly cooked. Sometimes the simplest things are the best. After finishing the burnt ends, we decided to order a half rack of ribs. I'm glad we did. They turned out to be one of the highlights of the meal--tender, flavorful, and worth the extra five dollars. The biggest disappointment had nothing to do with the food. The dining room was uncomfortably warm. It wasn't very busy, yet it felt like the air conditioning either wasn't working or simply couldn't keep up. It definitely affected the overall experience. In the end, the service from Lily was very good, the complimentary cornbread bites were excellent, the fries were spot on, and the ribs were the best thing we ate. Overall, it wasn't a bad meal--it just wasn't the memorable Kansas City BBQ experience I was hoping for. If I were only in town for a few days, I'd probably continue exploring some of the other local BBQ spots before returning.

My husband had to repeat the order 4X and the young lady at the first window was rude and had a "I don't care attitude" that clearly should not be working directly with customers. We get our food at the second window and drive away. When I opened my sandwich it was not correct and I ended up throwing away the part that wasn't supposed to have any cheese on it nor the Canadian bacon when my husband stated an egg McMuffin with nothing else on it! Finally, one thing that is extremely annoying about fast food places especially in a drive through order is not being given any napkins at all. This McDonald's location definitely fell way below the normal McDonald's standards. The young lady with the long dark hair at the drive through window was the initial issue as the kitchen only makes what's put on the order.

And sometimes you like to remember things the way that they were....but they still are! I always bypass busy businesses and Blazers is always busy. A buddy of mine and I were heading to our favorite Gardner cigar lounge and you should never have a cigar in an empty stomach. We walked in and the place was slammed and my first instinct was to bail, but this teenage girl behind the register said "Welcome to Blazers, how may I help you?" with authority and a big smile. I'm hard of hearing, but Jenna was patient and cheerful. Being busy, there was hardly a table available, but suddenly 2 came available and two former busboys pushing 60 sprung into action and cleaned them, but our order taker was quick to finish up for us ( perky and smiling all the while). The burgers were excellent, the crinkle fries were crispy, and a healthy selection of beverages was nice, too. Also, the place has a very happy vibe. This was my best choice of the week, hands down.

I have always gone for the frosty's and fries since my last pregnancy 21 years ago. The fries are always limp (even if I ask for them Krispy and hot) and always taste like old grease. And the frosty is a hit or miss and our location usually doesn't have the chocolate flavor. Disappointed with an establishment that I used to live off of when I was in college and couldn't rub two penny's together. Customer service isn't even worth the visit.

I've stopped in several times and keep coming back for the No. 20. It's incredibly filling and almost always leaves me with leftovers to take home (which I consider a win). Every meal has been consistently good--I haven't had a disappointing bite yet. The restaurant itself is clean and comfortable, with plenty of tables and booths.
