Sierra Grill - Lenexa City Center

“If you’re looking for the ultimate wood-fired experience, this spot hits every mark. From the second you walk in, the smoky aroma of the grill sets the stage for a killer meal. The environment strikes that perfect chord—upscale enough for a date but relaxed enough that you don't feel stiff, and the staff is incredibly welcoming, treating you like a regular even on your first visit. The bar program is a standout; their craft cocktails are balanced, creative, and clearly made with high-end spirits. But the absolute showstopper? The Pork Belly and Grits. The pork belly is rendered to perfection—crispy on the outside and melt-in-your-mouth tender—served over some of the creamiest, cheesiest grits I’ve ever had. It’s the kind of dish you’ll be thinking about for weeks. Between the wood-fired steaks and that pork belly, this place is a masterclass in American comfort.”

“Best steak I've ever had! There is not a close second. Grace was our server and she was fantastic. Sides were a nice compliment to a perfectly seasoned and cooked Tomahawk steak. The owner stopped by and offered his appreciation for our patronage. Call ahead to make sure the Tomahawk is available for the evening. If you are deciding between Sierra Grill and Jack Stack; SG is the place to be.”

“Visiting Kansas City had dinner with four of our friends total party six people. Had reservations were seated on time. Ordered these chicken, spinach, artichoke dip, and the meatballs for an appetizer The chicken spinach, artichoke dip is served in a 4 ounce container enough food for one person, not a shareable item it was tasty, but not worth the money. The meatballs were delicious. My friend ordered the tomato basil soup. She said it was good but tiny portion. We dined on a Tuesday night and they had a special 6 ounce KC strip over mashed potatoes with brussel sprouts. The steak was one of the best KC strip I’ve ever eaten, perfectly medium rare. The potatoes were good, but very, very salty. The brussels sprouts were perfect. But overall, I loved it. The dining room is very, very loud kind of a basic dining room or maybe my friends are loud. 😬.”

“For 20+ dollar sandwiches, I would expect decadence to be honest. It was good, but there was very little steak on the sandwich, in fact, half of it didn't have any. See pic. The Chimichurri was really good. Very generous cheese and peppers, but they had to since there was hardly any meat. The broccoli was really good but needs seasoning so be sure to ask for salt. I went to treat my son for his birthday, and I felt like we were treated like we shouldn't be there. We were given the wrong menus (dinner), had to go get our own lunch menus because they never came back… after 10 minutes of waiting to order, I had to go find the server. The food was OK, but skip the homemade ranch and pickles. The ranch was so dilly and the pickles were too sweet. I had to go up to the bar to get salt (10 min after getting the food) as the server didn't come back until after I'd requested the salt. Overall just ok. I'm not sure we would come back. We've been there for dinner before and had amazing service, but the steak was so spicy with black pepper. Thought we'd try it for lunch.”

“First, a shout-out to our server, Olivia, who did a great job. The menu has a number of items that are very interesting to me, but I did not enjoy the food. The beef confit, which was a special for the day, was not special. The beef was quite tough, and the flavor was overwhelmed by the sauce. The garlic green beans were way too garlicky. The salad dressing for the house salad called the self ranch, but has a bitter flavor that it did not like. Even the house red wine was very meh. I think this restaurant would do well to focus on buying high-quality ingredients and letting the food speak for itself more, without trying to overwhelm it with herbs and spices.”
