Houlihan's

I ate at Houlihan's recently in Olathe, Kansas. When looking at the menu it has a variety of cuisines from Thai to American. In addition to the regular menu Houlihan's has a seasonal menu which changes four times a year. My favorite thing was the mini desserts. I tried all of them on the menu and they each were unique in their own way. If I had to choose one though, it’d be the White Chocolate Banana Cream Pie. I think it’s a great idea to have mini desserts because you’re already full but just want a little sweetness for the full experience and they’re only $2.49. Also I really liked the mini burgers. They are topped with tomato and ranch style greens on a miniature toasted bun. Houlihan's is a great restaurant that can appeal to everyone.
