For a place that's "famous" for it's fried chicken, it is pretty average compared to some others. I go to Strouds for the chicken-fried steak and am kind of incredulous at some of the people who will sit there waiting 45 minutes for that chcken Originally Posted by zeejoe
I've had their chicken before, but other than the size of the pieces, it is nothing special. The last few times I've gotten the chicken-fried steak. The best I have ever had. Their broiled pork chops are pretty damn good also. I think I would rather have Popeye's chicken, but have to limit myself. Gives me heartburn. I've been to RC's, but it didn't seem to me to be any better than Strouds.

however not in kc but my grandmothers fried chicken beats any chain hands down. but sadly that fabulous fried chicken died when she did! Originally Posted by satan666

Perhaps you are talking about pan fried chicken: as in the type fried with Crisco all-vegetable shortening in a cast iron skillet.

Cascony's in the river market serves three pieces for lunch on Thurdsay only. Be there early, they often sell out.

A big difference between the old way of frying chicken and the new ways that want to save time by deep frying.

I've never had good fried chicken.

Seriously.
New place in Overland Park is opening soon that will specialize in fried chicken and BBQ. Berbiglia Roost at 87 and Metcalf. Sounds good, but won't know for a bit.

So, do you suppose they are related to the Berbiglia liquor folks? I wish them well...

One guy is out of Auther Bryant's and the other is out of Golden Ox & KC Masterpiece.
So yes, a test drive is required after they open.

Agreed. Also, i'd kind of assume doing real pan fried chicken kind of fucks you up from a volume angle, too - you could usually flip the table and seat the next folks just in the time it would take to cook that dish.

Just noticed- the address is the old Fuddruckers at 87th & Metcalf.
