Sous Chef

Dick's Steak & Oyster | Overland Park, KS

Dick's isn't just another steakhouse opening in Leawood — it's a return to what going out used to feel like. Named for the men who taught our owners what a good night out really means, Dick's blends timeless hospitality with modern craft: dry-aged steaks, a raw bar built for showmanship, and a whiskey list that doesn't apologize for taking its time.

We're building a team that takes pride in the details — the perfect pour, the confident tableside moment, the kind of service that makes a Tuesday feel like an occasion. This isn't corporate steakhouse energy. It's a new restaurant with the soul of an institution, and we're looking for people who want to help build that from day one.

If you want to do real craft, work alongside people who care, and be part of something that's going to matter in Kansas City for a long time — we'd love to meet you.
