They give your two pieces of small chicken with a big scoop of potatoes & something else. Ice tea is included for $10 and the forget to charge sales tax. Add a $2.00 tip and you have $12 for lunch. Portia, the granddaughter of the Owner, has put on a lot of weight eating the chicken. (Joke - she just had a baby). Some of the other girls are a little rough around the edges.

Also on Thursday, at Cascone's Grill (5th street; city market) gives you three bigger pieces of pan fried chicken and a smaller scoop of potatoes for $7.00 Drink and sales tax are extra. Elizabeth, one of the waitresses is pretty good looking; if you like fake titties. Two of the Italian ladies are a little fat. So, calculate the bill.

But, you can order the chicken a la carte and get just chicken for less money. I don't need the potatoes because I am watching my weight - increase.

Highly recommended. Much improved from the old deli that was there before. I ran into our Mayor Sy there last month.

He asked for some advice on how to run the city. That was nice of him, but I only had an hour for lunch, and had to get back to the office. We need to sit down for a month, or two, so that he can listen to all of my ideas about the new streetcar line and the millions of dollars needed at 18th and Vine.

Dallas - the best Chinese is Bo Lings or their sister restaurant Dragon Inn in Downtown OP on 80th Street. Also Bangkock Pavillion that JR mentioned has great fried chicken on their luncheon buffet. Jun's is a favorite Sushi place, but I prefer Nara in the Crossroads.

Bo Lings has several locations. A good group of people. I did not know that the Dragon Inn was a part of the group now, but I haven't been there in about 30 years. I knew it had been sold to someone.

I will have to try Nara. I just try to avoid Lulu's in the crossroad; not a truly ethnic place when they add corn starch to the menu items. They used to have a great lunch soup selection, but they took the good soup off of the menu.

Bo Lings:
I remember the guy running the Zona location being a busboy at Plaza when he was younger.
Yes a family operation with perhaps 6 locations nowadays.

Now we are talking about Soul Food

For the best chicken (not fried, but it falls off the bone)
The Peach Tree
6800 Eastwood Trafficway
KCMO (Just South of The Ararat Shrine Temple)

For the Best chicken and Waffles
Niecie's Restaurant.

Good people at both places.

I tried Stroud's again after 15 years of eating there last. I'm like other posters here, I don't get it . The chicken was bland, dry, and overcooked for me. But I can eat KFC, Popeye's or Church's until my arteries scream!

Skip the breading and get yourself to The Peanut for wings....be sure to get 'em double dipped and cheese fries as a side. Simply amazing. Several locations, they're all good. Most people prefer the small hole in the wall location near the Plaza. I like the one in downtown OP too.

Thanks everyone!!!!!!!!!
