Closed: The Coyote Grill

The coyote howls no more in Leawood
​Well, it was a good try. Looking for a great idea to beef up profits at Yahooz, their Leawood "cowboy restaurant," PB&J restaurant group owners Paul Khoury and Bill Crooks closed the venue earlier this year and quickly re-invented the location as a new Coyote Grill.

The Coyote Grill was a popular casual dining spot serving Southwestern fare at the now-razed Mission Center. It was an early success for Khoury and Crooks, so the idea of reviving the concept in a location that already had Southwestern-style decor seemed like a natural, right? Wrong. Whatever charm the Coyote Grill had at Mission Center never made the transition to Leawood, where the food and service were hit-or-miss.

Khoury and Crooks closed the restaurant last Monday; a restaurant manager tells me the venue "has been turned into a catering and private dining facility."

First anonymous poster. Please give a logical explanation for hating spending your money in Leawood. At least you are probably safer and in a nicer environment than where you usually spend your money.
