For supper, we revisited Sierra Grill in Lenexa. It opened at the beginning of the summer and we first tried them in late June. We liked this place quite a bit, but it has very limited hours and it hasn't been easy to get back there again. We sampled pork chops, beef tenderloin and beef short rib. All were good!

I think we need to visit Sierra Grill one more time, checking out the lunch menu. While it will not make our list of Unique Kansas Restaurants, it will join the other restaurants work visiting at the bottom of that page.

No changes had been made. Sam's Tastee Treat is more about tradition than the food, which is only average drive in fare. It started as a Tastee Freeze in 1963, but has been run by its current owners, Sueko "Sam" and Hugh Silvernale since the mid 1990s.

So I went to Mai Thai Restaurant a little over a mile away. It had been several years since the last time I was there. Mai Thai was packed when I walked in, but I was quickly seated. My service was excellent, but a nearby table with 4 women who were there ahead of me had to ask for soup sometime after I received mine. Then they had to ask about their main courses after mine came. One also had to get silverware from another table.

My food was quite good, better than I remember. I will revisit it soon to consider it for our Overland Park Restaurant guide.

I ordered the Hawg Trough Sampler which combines a sample of brisket, burnt ends, pulled pork, ham, turkey, smoked sausage, ribs and the choice of 1 small side for $17.99. The best meats were the burnt ends, pulled pork and ham, while the sausage had little flavor. The French fries are battered, nothing special.

There are three BBQ sauces, all of them fairly sweet, plus smoked ketchup.
