Grand Street Lenexa 8815 Renner Boulevard, Lenexa, KS 66219

"I’ve been a GSC patron for many, many years. I had never gone to the Lenexa location until last year and would never return there. It was HORRIFIC and they COMPLETELY ruined my child’s birthday lunch. EVERY year I let my children pick whatever restaurant they’d like to be taken out to lunch for their birthday and my oldest daughter (turning 12) picked Grand Street, which should have been a solid choice. My youngest daughter always picks J. Alexanders and my son picks Paulo & Bills. I had never dined at this location and decided it would be an opportunity to enjoy their menu and not have drive so far. I should have known it might not be good when we walked in at lunchtime and it was almost empty. I ordered a MEDIUM RARE steak and Bill’s salad . The steak was practically burned (see picture). The salad was drenched in balsamic vinegar and had no honey mustard at all (see picture). I couldn’t eat neither. When I spoke to the manager, she told me the cook was new and they’d had staffing issues. She did take the items off of our bill and offered to make me new items, but I didn’t have them make me new dishes because besides not being very happy at that point and just wanting to get out of there, I doubted the cook was going to magically gain the necessary skills to do better than he’d already done. Although, she did remove the items from my bill, it didn’t make up for having ruined our day. I would still visit the original GS, but not the Lenexa location. I almost feel compelled to take my daughter all the way to the Plaza GS to show her what the experience should have been and to get that horrible taste of shoe leather, dry steak and overpowering vinegar drenched salad out of my mind. I don’t like writing bad reviews, but the experience really bothered me and still does. When you’re planning on spending $100+ for lunch, you expect the food to be better than what we received. Clarification: They replied and asked why if this happened a year ago why I waited to write my review. The answer is simple. Her upcoming birthday this year and the first thing I thought of was how disappointing her lunch was last year. Perhaps the reason you can’t find the comp is because they didn’t ring in the steak or the salad and properly adjust it off? That part isn’t something I can really comment about, just the food in the pictures. I added the receipt so that management could see that although I told the truth, rather than apologize, they insinuate that I’m a liar. I’m still angry about this and have never gone back."

"We had my daughter's 50th Birthday party there! EVERYTHING was EXCELLENT! From the staff, the private room, the food, the service, etc. We had a fabulous time! It was our first time at this restaurant! We will be going back just to dine for dinner! Love everything about this restaurant! Check it out!"

"A few good dishes here. The pasta was delicious as was the trout. Chicken picatta was a little dry with little flavor. The mushroom spring rolls were really good and worth a return visit for. There was a mistake in our order and a sandwich was delivered to us, looked quite good. Dessert was really good. The drinks were poured very well."
