Stroud's

Stroud's does not live up to the hype. The fried chicken was terribly dry, and the Parmesan Cream Grilled Chicken Pasta was inedible. I've been hearing about Stroud's since I moved here, and I was so excited to go. I think it might be time to drop the James Beard Award fame. It was awarded in 1998, and they have no business using it as a way to get people in the door. I've had better fried chicken at a gas station in Virginia. Also, don't be deceived. The "cinnamon rolls" are not traditional cinnamon rolls. They are day old dinner rolls with cinnamon sugar on top. TJ was amazing though. She was working behind the bar and also taking care of us. She was friendly, attentive, and just all around awesome.

Fun atmosphere! We used to go to Strouds on 85th & Holmes in the 90's. Chicken is still the juiciest. We had left overs for 2 more meals. 😋

Actually didn't get any photos of the food because I was so distracted/impressed with the 'Twinkle' decor this visit! Strouds had always been so consistent with their food! The chicken noodle soup is where is at, talk about delicious!!!

Stopped in for dinner and had the best experience! The food was absolutely delicious. My favorite thing was the chicken fried steak. Absolutely perfect! You go home with so much food that you can make another meal out of it! Tejai was our server as well and she made our experience so much fun. She was very informative on the menu and very attentive while also making great conversation. If you go here ask for her! She’s the best!

My chicken fried chicken was stale tasting. The rolls dipped in cinnamon were hard and dry. The first bowl of green beans had chunks of ham which was great but the second had no meat and lots of stems. I did complain about the stale chicken, and the tenders they replaced it with tasted better, but it all definitely didn't feel worth the price. I asked if I was there during happy hour when we arrived since there was a sign for it but no time listed, the hostess said no. Before we left I went to the restroom and saw a sign in there with the times posted indicating we actually were there during happy hour. We felt forgotten about tucked back in the room we were seated in. I'm glad we gave ourselves plenty of time for dinner before the movie started.
