The World Famous Chicken You Remember

We are proud to be honored as the first U.S. restaurant to win a James Beard Award for Excellence in the “Home Style” category! It may surprise you that Stroud’s is the only Kansas City restaurant to be recognized by the James Beard Foundation.

In 1937, Stroud’s was known for it’s BBQ and beer after the end of Prohibition. You could enjoy 15 cent ribs and a Dick’s Beer for a nickel. Those were the days.

In the early 1940s, beef and pork were being rationed because of WWII. Stroud’s turned from a BBQ joint to the now famous “home of pan-fried chicken.”

In the 1970s, Stroud’s was gaining national attention. When celebrities were in town, they stopped at Stroud’s…and they still do today!

So what is Stroud’s Express?

Stroud’s Express is a brand new concept that will offer curbside pick-up, carryout, and delivery only. That’s right, no dining rooms or table-side service here! You have to take those finger lickin’ favorites home, on a picnic, to a party, tailgate, office lunch, or any other great eating out experience you can think of! We encourage you to order online in advance to guarantee the best availability options. Thank you for giving our new concept a try, we can’t wait to serve you our world-famous recipes and irresistible cinnamon rolls Lee’s Summit!
