This place just opened up December 1st and i haven't even heard about it! tonight i was planning on going to JJ's on the plaza then my mother on the way there said, "oh by the way, we aren't going to jj"s we are going to jack gage tavern." the KC star did a write up about it and my mom saw it and it sounded good. So we get there, 50th and main, and the place looks nice. we sit at the bar with Nate and Will as our bartenders. we got there about 3:30 or 4:00 so it wasn't busy at all. we got an Amstel light each for our drink and looked over the menu. Everything looked great! we didn't know what to get. we didn't even get past the app's! we had 3 of them. Seared ahi tuna, portabella fries, and the fried green tomato & crab tower. First came out the Tuna. it was good. had a nice pepper on the outside of it and served with a ginger slaw that was tasty. then the portabella fries and the crab tower came out together. the portabella fries were great! it was slices of portabella mushroom fried in a light batter served with a mayo based dipping sauce. Sooo yummy. the fried green tomato & crab tower was amazing! it had a Fried green tomato for the base, then there was lots and lots of crab stacked on top of it with Gouda melted all over it. then a mustard aioli was drizzled all over it. it was absolutely delicious. then our friend showed up and ordered the Kentucky hot brown. it was an open faced sandwich that had tons of turkey and ham with a swiss cheese sauce smothered all over it! then bacon too!! i couldn't eat it because of all the cheese but 2 people said it was awesome. i did try the fries that came with them and they were good too. nice seasoning. i thought it was all very well priced with great food. we even got to meet the head chef. he came out and said hi. they have a brunch sat and sun that we are gonna try tomorrow. definitely try this place
