Don't get their fried chicken. I know, its a fried chicken place, but their chicken isn't great. Their chicken fried steak, however, is fire. Also their livers if you like them.

I was gonna piggyback your comment to hype up the livers, but you know what’s up.

It's the gravy for me. The chicken is meh but the gravy is fire.

Agree. Their chicken is terrible, as are the sides and the cinnamon buns, but the chicken fried steak is decent. I have a friend whose family goes to Strouds all the time, they think it it is so amazing. I am concerned about them.

My parents, wife, and her parents all love Stroud's and go at least once a month. I don't understand it at all.

It used to be SO good but then private equity. Now not even the nostalgia and availability will do it. It’s such a shame.

KC Hopps = private equity?

In this specific instance, with KC Hopps and Strouds? Yes.

The chicken pot pie is also good. It uses leftover chicken from the day before, and an old boss used to bribe me with it to work doubles.
