The Texas-style, family restaurant has the look of a major chain, but the atmosphere of a mom-and-pop restaurant. And the food is delightful. Loaded mashed potatoes and sweet potato casserole are selections you usually can't find at the big-city steakhouses. These are two of a dozen side dishes that come with the chicken, seafood, pork and, of course, beef platters served here.
For starters, though, even tried-and-true appetizers on the menu have a special JW Steakhouse twist. Fried cheese is breaded in house with a special batter. Chicken strips have that same distinctive crust. The menu promises that the restaurant uses no-transfat clear canola oil. A combo platter of cheese, chicken and mushrooms is enough for a whole table to share for $8.99. Even potato skins for $4.99 have a special flavor - maybe from the smoked bacon.
That same bacon highlights the loaded mashed potato side dish, which comes with sour cream on the side to blend in for just the right texture and taste.
Steaks are the drawing card for JW Steakhouse, and they range in price from an $8.99 hamburger steak to $22.99 porterhouse. A Colorado ribeye for $9.99 or cowgirl center cut sirloin for
$10.99 provide fine beef cuts for budget-minded customers.
The restaurant ages its own beef and makes everything from scratch - sauces, rubs and salad dressings - even cuts all of its produce. The special breading is not corn meal but Japanese panko bread crumbs. The restaurant uses real butter - not margarine - and avoids preservatives.
Ribs are pork baby back slabs with a Texas-style rub. They're moist and tender and cost $11.99 for half and $18.99 for a full slab. Chicken dishes range from a tenders meal for $6.99 to smothered chicken or a chicken kabob for $9.99. Seafood selections include catfish, shrimp, salmon and a fish of the day for $7.99 to $13.99.

The filet and the bone in ribeye were incredible. Especially for the price. Found out what aged beef meant. The service was excellent. Save room for the homemade chocolate cheesecake it was unbelievable! Found our favorite place to eat. ******
The hand cut steaks have an excellent flavor like nowhere else. Friendly service from every employee. The appetizers, sauces, and desserts are all made from scratch and you don't find that in chain restaurants. Great place to find good food and keep it affordable. Can't wait to go back!!
The Kansas City Strip and homemade Portabello mushroom glace was unbelievable! All of our sides were hot and fresh (and the potatoes were NOT instant!). The house salad was fresh and crisp, not to mention the homemade dressing. Our family has definitely found our new favorite place to eat, and kids eat free on Tuesday nights!!
