Stroud's Restaurant & Bar

Let me start by saying “bring your appetite!” Their portions are huge! The food was delicious, the service top notch and the atmosphere was great! All topped off with yummy sweet rolls at the end for reasonable prices! Must give Strouds a taste!

This is my second time here. I was In town for a work training function and Stroud's was recommended by a local coworker. Both visits did not disappoint. Food was home cooked and delicious! The staff here are amazing, they all make you feel welcome and at home. Food portions were satisfying enough that both times I had to have a to go box to take home. If you are looking for a wonderful place with great food and amazing staff, then I highly recommend Stroud's. The pan fried chicken, steak, mashed potatoes , green beans, chicken noodles soup and cinnamon rolls are all great! Thank you again!

Im from the St. Louis, Mo area. As someone who has been all over the country to 400+ chicken-centric establishments this place is what I dream about. Finding a restaurant like this is harder to find than a piece of straw in a haystack. Every. Single. Thing. Is. PHENOMENAL. The atmosphere, the ambiance, the decor, the friendly staff. All A++, S-tier, accommodations. Not to mention the historical significance. They have a land charter signed by John Quincy Adams for Pete’s sake. Now the food is obviously why you come here in the first place. You open the door and the smell of lard fills your nostrils. THIS is a good sign. Words cannot describe how juicy and delicious this chicken was. Every bite filled my mouth with what can only be described as love and tenderness incarnate. I particularly enjoyed the “Mikes Spicy Sauce”. This buttery, peppery, mildly sweet concoction really kicks it up a notch, as a famous New Orleanian once said. I wish they sold it by the gallon because I would surely buy it to take with me across our great state of Missouri. The sides are immaculate as to be expected but what REALLY blew me away, aside from the nigh-perfect chicken, was the cinnamon rolls served at the end of the meal. Free of charge, or at least incorporated into the cost of the entrees. These things melt in your mouth. Literally just rolls covered - no, soaked, in cinnamon butter. At the end of the day this chicken scores with a tie as the best chicken I’ve EVER had from ANYWHERE in my ENTIRE life. 9.7/10 clucks. If you live within a 12 hour drive of this place then it is your duty to make the pilgrimage. The journey will yield rewards beyond your wildest expectations. Trust me.

This was an amazing experience for us! The food was great (served family style); the service was outstanding! We didn’t know what to expect having gotten the recommendation from a client that last visited the area a number of years ago. There aren’t enough words to describe how great this place was! We will definitely go back if we’re ever in the area! We even got hugs from the hostess as we were leaving!

Well done all! Impressive! Attentive, friendly, well paced service for a large birthday party. Large portions and ample side dishes. Nice variety of choices for adults and children. Rustic comfortable interior with beautiful photo worthy outdoor spaces.
