Stroud's Oak Ridge Manor

We have been visiting strouds for over 30 years. While staff has changed, the atmosphere and food have not. You know what you’re going to get (if you’ve been going), you typically have a great experience and the food is typically going to be great with plenty for leftovers! Years ago their shrimp was my go to. I haven’t had it for many years but it was so good. Then gizzards were my go to every single time. Sooo good with their gravy and cottage fries! Last night I tried their salmon for something different and was blown away! Do not sleep on this salmon! The dill sauce is delicious and the salmon was cooked to perfection! I do miss the cinnamon rolls from years ago, but they’re still yummy!

Chicken is not as good as it used to be,
the batter/seasoning is not as thick and chispy as it used to be.

Staff are not as accommodating as they used to be, meaning they may not cook your food exactly the way you want it, but only the way they're accustomed to cooking it.

It's the best place in KC for fried chicken. Make sure to try their cinnamon rolls. They are amazing!

Update - It must have been addressed as they said, ordered last night and it went smoothly. I gave back three stars, because management was responsive. I get that it’s a busy time of the year, but customer service shouldn’t be all gone. Called Stroud’s for a to go order. Apparently they’re super busy tonight. The employee who answered the phone could have told us they weren’t taking any more orders tonight due to the crowd. We would have understood. Apparently, even though we have no way of seeing or knowing their situation, he smarted off with, yeah, you want that Monday or Tuesday night? We said no, tonight? He said sure, I’ll just put you on a seven minute hold and then take that order. Of course he never came back on the line. How much quicker it would have been for him, and especially for us, to be quickly informed they were too busy to take any new orders. This was at 4:30pm. This was unlike the standards Stroud’s employees used to show. I guess good help is hard enough to find that they’ll tolerate however the employees chose to behave. I’m not sure how much further ahead we could have planned a take out order, but Texas Roadhouse did just fine with our order shortly after. I’d prefer to buy local, but it just isn’t working out when this is how it is.

Came here in the middle of a Friday to have their special for the first Friday of the month and I wasn’t disappointed. There’s something about the old house and the view of the beautiful scenery out of the big glass windows that makes this place perfect. Employees were kind to me the entire time and made me feel like I was eating at home with my sweet grandmother. Food was excellent and it’s the perfect place for a family meal.
