I love Le Fou Frog too, but I also think Cafe des Amis in Parkville is a great French choice especially for a date and the service was exceptional. [Reply]
I thought the deal with Stroud's was that they had a main location that was great and built their reputation, then they opened chains around the city that weren't as good, then the original burned down.

The best items aren't fried chicken. Steaks are great but my personal favorite is the catfish also the salmon is very good. Pork chops are nice along with chicken fried steak is hard to beat. I could eat the hamburger steak with mashed potatoes every day its that good. You sure you weren't at KFC? [Reply]

Had a great experience there. Totally agree. [Reply]

Absolutely a great choice. I have only done lunch though I need to try dinner. [Reply]

I guess I could comment why comment what you don't know. Most people that go to Strouds don't get the chicken. Unless you have the whole family and get the family chicken dinner. When they quit raising and butchering there own chickens it became just fried chicken. I can fry my own Hudson or Tyson chicken bird.

Let's not crucify the guy. If you go on Stroud's social media the first thing they mention is their "award winning pan-fried chicken" so if you've only been there a few times it's not unlikely that you'll be going there specifically for the fried chicken. It's what they're known for and what they clearly want to be known for. [Reply]

I'm not crucifrying him but they do have a nice menu to look at. Why criticism if you don't like chicken. I don't like seafood because I'm allergic to shellfish. My wife loves shellfish so I just order what seafood that doesn't have a shell and hope it isn't cross contaminated.
If you must know why they are proud of the chicken . The original Stroud owned a bar restaurant that was at the trailhead of two famous Pioneer wagon train trails. He had a rookery that sold eggs and gad roasting chickens. It became the last good meal pioneer settlers had before setting out on the frontier. That outpost was at an old train station at what is now 85th and Troost.
