New barn venue taking reservations for Summer 2026!
Located on 40 acres of the Big Shoal Heritage Area, just outside of Kansas City, MO, AJ Barn is a stunning venue for weddings and other special events. The original farm dates back to 1824, with the original log cabin being built between 1831 and 1834. In 2005, the City of Gladstone purchased the house, two acres of property, and some outbuildings that included the original barn. Unfortunately, the condition of the barn was beyond repair. AJ Barn has been built in its place to serve the community as a perfect place to hold celebrations of many kinds for years to come.
The newly constructed barn and open-air area create a classic setting for your special day, blending rustic charm with modern amenities.

Great food and family atmosphere, the owner goes above and beyond to make sure that all people feel welcomed no matter who you are. The establishment is fairly new but the potential is very obvious, this place will be here to stay for a long ti...

We stopped in because AJ's was across the street from our hotel and we were SO HAPPY with the experience. Our waitress Michelle was warm and helpful. She asked our names and took the time to engage with us. The atmosphere was friendly and clean...
. We ordered the Lumberjack Polish and Jerk Wings. 5 stars for both. Also got the Cadillac Margarita and they DO NOT SKIMP on the drinks. AJ's is worth adding a stop for if you're in Power and Light and ask for Michelle!!

Stopped in today on a whim for lunch and I am so glad I did. The atmosphere is so nice! So many TVs everywhere, very clean, they even have old game machines (don’t look old but think pac man) on a wall. The food was so good! I ordered a chicken...
Philly cheesesteak and a Cadillac margarita. I have had so many chicken cheesesteaks that are just entirely too greasy. This one was not at all greasy and seasoned to perfection! The fries are basic crinkle fries so nothing to rave over but still very fresh and very delicious. The bartender/server was incredibly kind. She kept checking in on me and making sure to offer suggestions on the cook of my food and condiments that I did not think about. She kept up great conversation and was just so pleasant to speak with. I cannot wait to come back here during football season to really enjoy the games and even again for lunch since it’s basically next door. They have great deals in good all week long. If you get the chance to check this place out please don’t hesitate! You won’t be disappointed!

Went to support a local business and was surprised to see they have Spuds as a special. I got brisket without all the colorful veggies while my other friends got the brisket and the seafood. No complaints... we all enjoyed our food. The drinks...
need a little work but it's still new and understand.
