J.S. Ventures

J.S. Ventures is a franchisee of Applebee's International, the world's largest casual dining restaurant chain with over 1,900 restaurants operating in 49 states, 17 countries, and one U.S. territory. Our company opened its first Applebee's Neighborhood Grill and Bar in 1989. Since then, under the direction of owner James H. Stevens, the company has grown to twenty-five restaurants with locations in Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa. We feature moderately priced, high-quality American dishes such as salads, steaks, shrimp, pasta, chicken, and our signature item: riblets. All our restaurants feature a bar area and serve a full compliment of sodas and specialty beverages. Our décor is comfortable and reflects the neighborhood in which we operate, highlighting hometown heroes, local schools, sports teams, and area history. One of our greatest assets is our employees. We employ nearly 1,800 individuals, all working to provide you with a world-class experience. We value your patronage and we look forward to serving you.
