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?

So this is essentially the same stuff but on a sliced up baked potato? I'm typically wary of german potato salad but that sounds like it may be damn good.
Not baked. Sometimes boiled, sometimes pan-fried. At least that's my experience.

Depends on the area you're in. In Schwabia, where I lived, a lot of stuff was boiled, even bratwurst.

A lot of places pan fry stuff though.

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....

I too like the strouds chicken fried chicken. Brown and Lowe has a nice chicken too. But Gus's is the best chicken in town right now.

Or.. get yourself a candy thermometer to manage the oil temps, a meat thermometer to pull the chicken immediately when done, and a buttermilk recipe full of seasoning and it will ruin all other restaurant chicken for life. I'm a pretty poor chef, but I can consistently turn out fried chicken that has my friends and family wondering why they have never tasted chicken so good.

KT Fryers was the Stroud's model. Same menu, same pan fry, same family style serving. Pretty sure the owner was with Strouds for a long time before setting out on his own. Grandma's out at the raceway tried the same but had HORRIBLE service.

Over the years, been to Strouds about 20x, KT about 6-8 [would've been more if it hadn't burned down], and Grandma's once.

Every meal at the old Troost Strouds under the underpass ranked among the best. KT's was just about as good, and had the plus of being <1mi from [my] grandma [not the grandma restaurant], just not quite as good as the very best at the Troost location.

If I made an official top-10, it'd probably be 1-3 Strouds Troost, then 4-10 evenly split between KT and Stroud Troost.

The last couple at Fairway were just OK, but they closed that one.

Grandma's wasn't so much bad food as ATROCIOUS service. We left ANGRY, not just disappointed but ANGRY, and they closed within 6 months so it was probably a chronic problem

Incidently, there was about 3 years in the early 00s where there was a Strouds clone not far from me here in St.L [can't remember the name]. Ironically, their biggest different was my personal favorite thing at Strouds, instead of the slow-cooked green beans with all that schmaltz, they had a 'fancy' haricort-verts almondine side. It was good, but not in keeping with the rest of the menus.

my mom used to make german potato salad whenever the family would all get together. start making it the day before...by the morning it was done the whole fricking house smelled like the sewer had backed up. i'd wake up gagging, thinking, "geeze, i gotta get out of this house and get some fresh air!".

her mom, brothers and sister would eat the hell out of it, but us kids wouldn't touch it...we'd joke that the flies wouldn't even land on it. damn, it stunk when she cooked it.
her family could brew some beer, but they burned meat and ruined taters, God bless them.
sec

Been there eaten that. They were in the Waldo Shopping Center but that was 15 years ago. (Gary) Berbiglia's Roost, could fry up some dammed good chicken but the place (think Pete LaCock's Fuddrukers) was short lived.

FWIW, I have never had chicken at Stroud's.
The hamburger steak with gravy and mushrooms is the best thing on their menu (IMO of course).

Speaking of great chicken, a couple of the best restaurants in StL [Southern and Bogarts] are closing for the winter already.

Must have some insight on the medium-term prospects for dining.

Fried Chicken isn't southern, you all like to take credit for everything. Fried Green Tomatoes = not southern Sawmill breakfast gravy= not southern. So grow up, will ya?
