I've eaten at Strouds a few times. OK is about all I could ever give them. There WAS however a place in Shawnee Mission (back in the day) called "KT Fryers" that probably had the best fired chicken/chicken fried steak I have eaten at - this coming from a Southern boy who grew up with damned good chicken.
Unfortunately, the place burned to the ground. No more KT Fryers.....
But yeah, Strouds doesn't really do it for me....
