I think it did have a taco bar or something. The food wasn't very good, but it was the only fast food joint in "Turner". As young Turner hooligans we used to go the arcade/pool hall on our bikes and TT was right next door. The pool hall was the Red Balloon. Very dicey place for 13 yr. olds...

This isn't exactly a restaurant of yesteryear, but I went out to eat with my girlfriend's family down in KCMO yesterday, and they were all raving about "Stroud's".

I was a bit skeptical, because any time someone says they have the best "anything", I disbelieve them. But they were right...hands down the best fried chicken I've ever ate in my life. The cinammon rolls were amazing as well.

same manager came out of the stall when I was at the urinal, walked right by me and out the door on his way to the kitchen to make pizzas. Never washed his hands.

dough mixer was leaking oil down into the dough as it was being made. It did this for 2 days before they had it fixed.

I will NEVER eat there again

Did you grow up there?

The melting pot is the worst 100 bucks I've spent on two people.

I heard a rumor several weeks back that Stroud's was looking for a site to replace the restaurant they closed out south. Anyone else hear that?

yes. Seems like I heard the old Stephensons on 40. Not certain though.

I was in Wichita this weekend and saw an ad for Stroud's. Is it owned by the same people?

They are going in over there off of Ward Parkway and SHawnee MIssion Rd? Right off the plaza where the Torreros was. RIP terreros.

Not sure about ownership, but it's an extension of Stroud's in KC.

I couldn't agree more.

Took my wife there about a year ago and was severely disappointed.

Food wasn't even close to being passable.

The Pork Chops in Garlic Butter are also incredible.
