In 1933 Helen Stroud began inviting the public to her Kansas City home to enjoy her traditional southern fried chicken dinner. Over 70 years later, the nationally recognized Stroud's Restaurant & Bar continues to please more than half a million people each year with Mrs. Stroud's original recipes. Their goal is to bring you a home-cooked meal that will remind you of the Sunday dinners at Grandma's house. Their specialty is pan-fried chicken, but consider the pan-fried catfish as well. Their mashed potatoes were particularly tasty, and save the flavor of their homemade cinnamon rolls for breakfast the next day
