Sierra BBQ
Sierra Grill's barbecue spinoff
Sierra BBQ is a barbecue restaurant in Kansas City, Missouri.
Sierra BBQ is the barbecue-focused spinoff of the well-regarded Sierra Grill, opened in late 2024 in the grill's original Lenexa space. It's the move of an established local restaurateur going all-in on smoke—a polished kitchen turning its full attention to the pit rather than treating barbecue as a menu sideline.
Baby back ribs anchor the menu, tender and glazed, alongside burnt ends and pulled pork built to work for dine-in, takeout, and catering alike. The cheesy corn earns its keep as the side to add to any tray. The room is small and neighborhood-scaled, but the cooking carries the quiet confidence of a kitchen that already knew what it was doing before it ever added a smoker to the operation. It's an experienced restaurant's second act, aimed squarely at the Johnson County barbecue crowd and their weeknight orders.
