In 2017, the the chef Ryan Edwards, his wife, Marichris Edwards, and his father, Kelly Edwards, opened their first casual dining restaurant, Sierra Grill, a small restaurant (only 50 seats) in Lenexa, Kansas, serving big food—giant steaks, thick pork chops, and braised short ribs served on the bone—with sides included and a nice wine list. Last year the couple relocated Sierra Grill to its new location, a 5,000-square-foot space located inside the Central Green Building in the new Lenexa City Center. They traded up, getting a much larger kitchen, bar, and dining room that’s more than double the size of the former restaurant. Now they have repurposed their original restaurant location and opened a sister concept that’s just as meaty as the first. Sierra BBQ is now open at 11099 Lackman Road in Lenexa serving Kansas City-style barbecue with a menu that features baby back and spare ribs, brisket, burnt ends, pulled pork, smoked turkey, and sausage. Guests can also enjoy house-made sides, such as barbecue beans, potato salad, and cheesy corn. Designed for quick and convenient service, the focus here will be on takeout, delivery, and catering. Open Tuesday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
