Strouds fried chicken

A few months back, while in KC, my relatives took me to a dumpy old joint called Strouds that looked like it was converted from a house. Despite the exterior, the inside was hospitable. They had the best damn fried chicken I've ever eaten, and serve enough food to make Whitlock uncomfortable. I know the next time I'm in town, I'll desperately be searching for that place.

Has anyone else ever eaten there? Are they famous in town for their chicken, or am I just sheltered?

I know the place you're talking about, but I don't think I ever knew the name and I haven't driven through that area in a long time.

Edit: I tried to find it on yelp with no luck so it might be gone.

I feel like it began with a “B”, but I’ll probably be proven wrong.

I feel like it may have rebranded as Rembrandt’s. That’s definitely not the name I remember it by though.

Edit: after looking at the map, that is definitely the place, but that is not the original name.

Looks like the building is still there; a real estate company appears to have taken it over.

2820 nw barry road. Not sure if that's the place you're thinking of but 'set off the road and looks like a country club'....well, this sure qualifies.

That’s definitely the place, but I guess my memory regarding the name was off. I’ve been googling and everything refers to it being Rembrandt’s. That’s definitely a recognizable name too, so I’m not sure why something is still bugging me about it.

I can't say I went to either of them more than 3-4 times as a kid, but those were places that had been around for 50-60+ years and just couldn't survive the chain explosions. Now a lot of those chains are struggling and places that could make it through that lean stretch are recovering nicely.

Always happy to see places like that keep their lights on.
Ahh man, my parents used to take me to Sunday brunch buffet at the Stephenson's north of the river near 1-29 and 64th street when I was a kid. Loved it. I never made it out to the main location.

Papa Nick's 21-21 on Antioch in Gladstone....felt like a Goodfella's style mafia restaurant, dark and smoky. I honestly don't remember the food but I loved the atmosphere.

Annie's Sante Fe at Bannister Mall in the 80s... looking back I doubt the food was particularly special as a kid I loved that place's beef enchiladas and cheese dip.
I miss the 80's style indoor malls like Bannister and Metro North. Grab a taco dog at Taco Via and beg my Mom for a new Commodore 64 game from Babbages.

One place I hope never closes is FunHouse Pizza on 40 hwy.

With the addition to Guses Fried Chicken around town, why would you go to Strouds? Very overrated food.

I remember going to Ponderosa a lot growing up. As a kid it was probably where I first learned about all you can eat soft serve and endless toppings.

It was originally called the Dinner Horn, then it became Rembrandts. As mentioned, now it's a real estate office.

Italian Gardens downtown and Golden Ox by the old stockyards were the two best (non BBQ) restaurants in KC when I was young. I assume both are gone. In high school I worked with LC Richardson (later opened LCs) at the Royals Stadium club fetching his prime rib, and eating his BBQ changed my life. But for cheap steak I do remember Ponderosa and Bonanza fit the bill.

You stepped into the way back machine for these two.

I remember that one of them had the best Texas Toast I ever had. Crispy, garlicky flavor and full of real butter.

Their steaks were satisfactory for what they charged and were most were located; inside of malls.
