Jazz A Louisiana Kitchen - Kansas City

Took my 11 family members there we had to wait and hour and a half but so worth it. They got us a big table right in front of the band. We had such a blast and the food was amazing. Great fun staff love this place

Loved this place!! Went to New Orleans and really enjoyed it so It was nice to find the food here in Kansas City

The food and the service was great. Would recommend to my family and friends.

This restaurant was our first lunch date 20+ years ago. We've not dined here in many years. Grateful for they've not changed a bit. Worth the wait for a table. Your food arrives likety split! Expect friendly service. Expect well worn tables, chairs, floors and plates. Expect delicious food.

If you ain’t in Louisiana or from Louisiana, it’s so hard to be Louisiana. This is the Midwest; Jazz ain’t Louisiana...but it’s so damn close! Being originally from the Gulf Coast region, I always have reservations for anything this far inland that calls itself Cajun or Creole. So, before even getting into the car, I was already scrutinizing the menu. That’s when I was impressed for the first time. Every choice I saw offered a taste of the real thing. Then, the family and I got to the place. The choice of building felt just right. The oyster shells as a rock bed loved it! Back home, they used to pave the roads with crushed oyster shells. The inside...loved it! I felt at home; so much of the decor made me miss home. Impressed a second time. The food: ooh wee! They have Abita beer! The French bread was wonderful, and the butter they use is seasoned! Yum! My wife had a sweet tea, and it reminded me of the tea back home! We had boiled crawfish and thoroughly enjoyed them, spiced well and not overpowering. I also had crawfish étouffée with jambalaya in the middle. For the étouffée, I probably should have had white rice, but at least I got to taste the well flavored jambalaya. The étouffée was wonderful, too! We had beignets, and I was impressed by the addition of Chantilly whipped cream. The beignets, I felt, were a bit overdone, but they were down a fryer so hard to fault them. Still, impressed a third time. Our waitress, Sarah, was so accommodating! I told her I was gonna grill her because this was all ethnic food for me. She took it like a champ, and she never disappointed. Plus, it’s hard to deny me another Southerner (two of us out of our element). Impressed a fourth time. We don’t live too terribly far from Kansas City. This is a favorite spot to visit for us in this area of the country. We can guarantee that we will be back to Jazz on the next trip! This Cajun approves and highly recommends!
