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? [Reply]

Is this KC North up by Claycomo? I grew up near there. Had my wedding dinner there 27 yrs ago. Is it still there? [Reply]
Man, i'm jonesing for some Stroud's chicken fried steak and sides.
There's also a fairly new place up north near Gladstone City Hall called Summit Grill that has really good food. Huge "chicken fried chicken", tenderloin sandwiches, and pictured below, the "Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich" [Reply]

I assume Summit Grill is connected to the place with the same name in Lees Summit started by Drew Lock's father. [Reply]
Flying back to see the Chiefs whip up on the Vikings and I can't wait to get me some Stroud's - my parents took my brother and me there as kids on Sunday nights since they served alcohol on the Missouri side. Parent's taught me well...need booze with meals!! [Reply]
Side Note: This thread makes me oddly nostalgic for some of the old restaurants that have closed down like Stephenson's Apple Orchard and The Golden Ox.
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. [Reply]

Speaking of KC restaurants that are no more, what was the name of the restaurant that was a little west of Metro North on the north side of Barry Road. It was set back off the road a bit and it looked like a country club. My memory of it may not be perfect because it was a long time ago, but I remember it being one of those places you go for prom and such. Hell, it may still exist, but I don’t think so. I never have the need to go to that part of town though, so I can’t be sure. [Reply]
