An excellent 3-story venue located in downtown Kansas City with a great atmosphere and professional staff. Expect to find quality live music & DJs, top notch drink selections, a delicious food menu, and the best Game Day experience at John's Big Deck.

My gut absolutely adores the food here! The weight that I've gained is all because of the great grub that John's offers whenever I'm looking to scarf for lunch downtown. Thank you!

Made a quick stop for lunch. Ordered the double cheeseburger and tots, which was really good. Atmosphere was very bar-like. Of you had several buddies with you, this would be a fun place to eat and hangout.

Great rooftop bar with a view of KC downtown. Happy hour prices are good for drink and Nachos, Quesadilla. Staff are friendly, overall good place to hang out and have some drink with friends.

Doesn’t look like much, but the food is great and at reasonable prices. John’s chicken salad as a wrap was fantastic! Good balance of meat and veggies, good portion, excellent flavor. Be sure to ask for waffle fries. And decker nachos with Doritos are everything you think they are. Lots of ground beef, plenty of toppings. The single is a lot for one person, the double is probably great for sharing Ground beef tacos for taco tuesdays are excellent. Would definitely order again. The chicken is ok, but the beef is great.

I love coming to John’s for the live music and the locations. The atmosphere and music is always amazing. Drinks come to you fast and well made. Their employees are so diligent and respectful. Jess, Sergio, Adrian, and Gemma are my favorite bartender. The security always insures the safety of the patrons while we have a good time. Nano definitely takes the award for best bouncer (why I keep coming back) if there was such an award. Very polite, welcoming, funny and always smells good! He definitely isn’t your average bouncer! 10/10 would recommend the place.

Great Great atmosphere. Waitress was covering several tables at a time and we never had empty cups for very long. Food was amazing and filling. My wife and I can't wait to come back here and try more food.

Definitely a place that caters to a younger party crowd. You can always tell because even on a slow night your beer comes in a plastic cup. The food was ok. Nothing spectacular, but portions were large. I was there on a weekday night and it wasn’t that busy.

Apps were good, live music was decent, and the other 2 levels were decent but limited places to sit or stand on a Friday. Cover fee to get in. Bartenders seem to be more concerned about regulars or friends on the first floor. Bathrooms are in a weird place if your on the 3rd floor.

First time visitor yesterday with the family and I must say the place has a very nice setup. The food was good but our waitress was very rude/short with us upon arrival/whole visit. We sat up on the rooftop yesterday where we could seat ourselves. The table wasn't clean but that wasn't a problem, if we could have gotten it wiped off. We asked the waitress can she wipe it down and she threw the dry cloth on the the table toward my husband as if "wipe it yourself " that wasn't very professional at all. Even tho the establishment is nice and the food is good the customer service should top all that,but unfortunately it wasn't.

This is my first time getting a chance to visit Kansas City, MO! My husband and I noticed the nearest restaurant to our hotel was this place and it was absolutely awesome! We went up to the deck on the third floor and got to enjoy a delicious meal. This place takes the pandemic very seriously and there is plenty of spacing. I got the John's chicken salad wrap and my husband got the 'Po Boy sandwich. We definitely recommend this place for some good quality comfort food.

We didn't order food, but what we saw looked amazing. Co-workers ordered mystery beer, and no one received the same drink. Everyone was happy with their drink. The margarita was very good as well. Lemonade was perfect.

Cool place to eat and unwind, or just hang on the deck. Be prepared for some stairs.....

Overall I liked it. Definitely a big deck! Service was good and there is a "hometown" kinda vibe where the staff make the effort to call you by your name - nice touch... Happy hour was 1/2 price appetizers and although my order initially came out incorrect, when I finally got them the loaded nachos were pretty tasty. The day I visited however the downstairs windows were open and I sat at the bar. Customers were right outside the door & open windows smoking - the smoke was just coming straight into the building really setting off my sinuses / allergies... I let the bartender know and asked if smoking right outside the door was the norm to which he replied 'people can smoke outside'... I explained that I was allergic to smoke (cigarette smoke in particular), as my nose was stuffing up and I was starting to get a headache. He walked over and asked them to move out of the window. Ultimately I appreciate it but it also did seem like I was inconveniencing him with my request. Clearly the smoking area is not really well thought out if people smoke right outside the open windows. It's like saying "No peeing in the pool" so instead swimmers get out, stand on the edge and pee... Doesn't really meet the intent.

Nice little place just down the street. The atmosphere is great and the food is awesome too. Decided to be adventurous and try their monthly/seasonal item (Thanksgiving Tacos) and it did not disappoint. If you get the chance, stop in. Portions are pretty big, so bring an appetite, or grab a go box when you leave.
