Bah! Eating Straud's anywhere but the original is like listening to the Philharmonic on an 8-track. It's just not the same.

I didn't know that was not the original. It's about as good as it gets though.

I love that white heart attack gravy they have too. :drool:

And the worst Pizza I have ever tried to ingest was purchased in downtown San Diego. :Lin: But the Sea Food makes up for it.

i think i will have to go there again... I went once way back in teh early ninties... loved it... then never went back. Damn Im dumb!

Ya, the Northland makes Raytown look like Leawood.

We go there at least twice a year.

that place owns fried chicken..I got a chicken fried steak once....as big as the plate.... :shake:

Yeah... I was a bit confused. I thought that WAS the original location.

How you doing KcMizzou, hadn't seen you in quite a while?

That explains Bob Dole's initial confusion. Bob Dole only knew about the one near Vivian Road.

Their chicken was the next best thing to Mar-Lon Cafe in Bronaugh, MO. (But Bob Dole doesn't think that one is there any more...)

Funny how when I was a kid, I'd think to myself "Why would anybody buy all this expensive meat when PIE and frozen pizzas are so cheap?"

What are YOU doing up so late? And why the hell did your name change again?! Don't ever move from Tex or I'll never recognize any of your posts... :)

Sorry, but I think Peachtree Buffet has the best fried chicken. Just my opinion.

They are too.

There is a Stroud's in Wichita.

It's just my opinion but, I think Stroud's chicken is overrated. It tastes like plain ol' fried chicken to me without very much flavor at all. It's great if you like bland country cooking. To those of us that like spices that you can taste, it ain't that great.

The one on 85th is the one we always went to. Haven't even been to the one on the north side.
But I gotta disagree with Saggy. I'm no fan of fried chicken. Usually, when the fam has chicken out, it means I'm feasting on mashed potatoes and gravy or cole slaw. But Strouds is great, and a lot of it is the freshness of the chicken and how quick it is from pan to plate.

And for those who are scared of the 85th St. location, give K.T. Fryers in Lenexa a try. The location is pure-D suburban strip mall, but the menu measures up across the board, and the waiters rock.


Oh, and anyone remember the Stoud's afilliated or Stroud's cloned restaurant immediately to the east of Arrowhead? It's been torn down.
