    Our server was really great. The food is always good. I like the queso fries but with melted shredded cheese (the way they used to make them). I don't like queso at all, so I'm really glad and thankful that they can still prepare them the way they used to because they're delicious. I love the fish tanks, live plants, and giant fans.

    Onion Rings
    Brandon S.

    I will start by saying our server was fine. She was nice, checked on us and did everything a good server should do. The restaurant itself was clean and had a layback energy to it. But the food...not so much. The onion rings were legit, nicely fried and a sweet onion. Really didn't need any dipping sauce for them. Our monte cristo sandwiches were lame. The sandwiches should have both ham and turkey, ours was just ham. The cheese was just. Kraft single, you would expect a better quality cheese from a restaurant. Fries were over cooked and hard. Haven't had Cheddar's for years and the quality has definitely gone down since my previous experience. Doubt I go back anytime soon.

    Honey Butter Croissants

    Mixed feelings... Key West Chicken and Shrimp and cooked carrots were really good and the croissants were fantastic, but the coleslaw was flavorless. The restaurant was freezing and our waitress didn't want to be there.

    Dijon chicken
    Daniel Z.

    Much better experience this time around. Dijon chicken was delicious and cooked very well. Side salad and croissants very good as well. Coleslaw shouldn't be served - absolutely no taste. Service was average.

    If you're craving a meal that warms your soul (but may not chase away your goosebumps), this is the spot. I ordered the grilled bourbon-glazed salmon over rice, paired with green beans and sweet carrots -- so tasty it almost made me forget I was dining in a restaurant equivalent to a walk-in freezer. My husband ordered the Louisiana pasta, and we both enjoyed the warm, buttery croissants. The food was delicious, but the room temperature? Let's just say that while it was hotter than the devil's armpit outside, the south side of the restaurant could have doubled as a penguin habitat. Next time, I'll bring my winter coat--or maybe a space heater. Still, if you like your food hot and your dining room cold, this is the place.

    Complemenatry croissants
    Katie C.

    Our waiter, Kayla was awesome! Funny, responsive and very attentive! I have to give to anyone who keeps my Coke Zero full! We love the fish tank! The restaurant was busy, but we had great seating! The cheddar bites were rather oily/greasy, so I skipped that. The rest of our crew enjoyed them. The complementary croissants are always a hit!

    This restaurant has been around for awhile. This is my first time here. Not quite sure what to expect. Menu not too extensive. More home style comfort food on the menu. Pricing very reasonable. Decided to order their grill salmon dinner. Food was good. Waitress we had was attentive but just seem a little too attentive almost like she was rushing us out. I water refill. Ambiance was casual. Overall it a good reasonable place to go for a quick bite. Nothing too spectacular.

But when I pay the kind of prices they charge at Silo, I need to be wowed and I just haven't been the two times we've dined here--hence, only 4 stars. Food was very good, service was good (maybe a bit slow) and the atmosphere is great. There was just something missing...

    Today's review comes to you from the land of manicured greens and pricing that definitely knows…read moreit's on a golf course. We hit the club for brunch with a group, and while the ambiance was pure "Country Club Chic," the execution was a bit more "Sunday Morning Sand Trap." The Liquid Courage I started off my round with two drinks. the Bloody Mary. It was fine--tasty enough, but it certainly didn't change my life or inspire any poetry. However, things got interesting with their Tequila/Cold Brew/Liquor 43 concoction. Topped with an egg foam cap, it was actually pretty solid. A bit of a gamble, but sometimes you have to roll the dice when the menu is trying that hard. The Culinary "Hit and Miss" Then came the food, or as I like to call it: The Great Consistency Crisis. The Steak: I asked for medium-rare; I received medium-well with a "char" that felt more like a personal vendetta against the cow. The Potatoes: Apparently, potato portions are determined by a lottery system. I received about half the amount of the person next to me. Maybe I didn't look hungry enough? The Eggs: My over-easy eggs had crispy, hard edges and arrived at a temperature I'd describe as "lukewarm at best." We also had to hunt down salt and pepper like we were on a scavenger hunt. Honestly, I probably should have just hit the buffet and cut out the middleman. The Service Our server was perfectly nice, but he appeared to be roughly twelve years old. Since he wasn't legally old enough to understand the complexity of a craft cocktail, he couldn't give us any info on the drink menu. We just had to "go with our gut"--which is a dangerous game when tequila and cold brew are involved. The Verdict I'm not saying I won't be back, but consider this a fair warning: if Round 2 involves another charred steak and a side of "room temperature" eggs, I'll be sending it back for a rerun faster than a shanked drive into the woods. 3/5 Stars -- Great for people-watching, questionable for potato-equity.

Some of the people in our group thought some of their dishes were a little bland, but I liked everything I tried. We had the okra and fried pickles for appetizers. The pickles have a very crunchy breading and a dip that was delicious! The okra is very good - especially with the dip for the pickles. We also tried the biscuits with butter and peach compote. They were great! Unique, fluffy, flavorful, and definitely worth a side order. I ordered the chicken and waffles with the peach. It was a good dish. The chicken tenders had a little bit of a spice that I didn't totally love, but they were still good. I also tried my friend's shrimp and grits, and they were delicious. The person next to me got meatloaf and brussels sprouts sprouts and really enjoyed it! He was practically licking the plate! Everyone seemed to enjoy their drinks as well. The only one I tried was the espresso martini, and it was very tasty! I would definitely go back to Tupelo Honey the next time I'm in Lenexa.

Our extended family and my mom are deaf and we've never dined where our server could directly communicate with them. Kaki is a CODA (child of deaf adult) just like my sister and I. We are usually doing the communication for everyone, but not today. Our family enjoyed talking with her and having her take great care of our family. Everyone enjoyed their meals. I especially liked the Avocado toast and mimosa. I know I'll be back to have more. We have a family member turning 70 tmw and we ordered the Fresh Beignets to celebrate. The restaurant is certainly set up for large parties as we were one of three from what I could see. If you get a chance to dine here and have Kaki take care of you will not be disappointed.

    My husband and I had lunch here today, and it was absolutely DELIGHTFUL!…read moreI am very impressed with how WELL the staff work together. They absolutely have the processes of this little restaurant honed to perfection, and even during a busy lunch time kept things humming so that there was minimal wait time (to order, for the food to be brought out, and to pay for our meal). Many, MANY thanks to Robert, who seated us, took our order, brought our food out, and settled our bill. He was friendly, efficient, and so welcoming. It was a joy to watch him work; he made sure to greet each and every customer coming in the door, and was consistently so upbeat and positive. And many, MANY thanks to Tony at the grill! Our food was FANTASTIC!! I have high standards for Mediterranean food, and the falafel wrap was totally delicious! The falafel itself was perfectly cooked, with a crispy outer layer, and the other ingredients in the wrap were chosen for a perfect melding of flavors. I had the side salad, with homemade Thai peanut dressing, and it was equally tasty. My husband had the patty melt, which came on homemade bread (!) and was, per his report, perfectly done. His side was tater tots, and we shared them. They were crisp and light without being greasy, and addictively yummy! The restaurant is in a strip center; it's not very big, but the tables are well placed so that no one feels cramped. The open reception area and kitchen/grill make it easy for the staff to respond to what's happening in the dining room (e.g., new folks arriving). It was a truly memorable meal, and we'll definitely be back! Again, MANY thanks to Robert and Tony for such a great lunch. We appreciate you!
