I had not been to Stroud's in KC for at least 20 years, and my expectations were high because everybody talks about their fried chicken and how you have to wait a little longer for it to cook, so that's exactly what I was getting! Unfortunately, the food was good, not great. I have had this meal several times over at various grandmother's houses and regular kitchens with average cooks.
It's pan fried, but there was nothing really special about it. It came out within 40 minutes after ordering it which was right on, it was moist and tender, I ate over 3/4 of my plate of food, but the main star, the chicken had NO real flavor. The Green beans were ok, mashed potatoes and gravy all the same. The house made cottage potato fries were also bland and mundane, plus when I picked up one and had to shake off oil that was resting at the bottom of it and my plate, it was over.
I will say their "Choker Chicken Drink" is really good and will sneak up on you. It is listed with all of the beer selections, but is actually a cocktail. It's a take on a hurricane drink you would order in Memphis, TN. If you get invited to go there with your family or for another occasion order that.
My next visit will be to Rye in Mission Farms, KS. I understand they have excellent fried chicken with some unique flavor. Keep an eye out for my review on that soon.
Stroud's = 74% C
Have a great Easter weekend everybody, thanks -
