Food for thought lunch link as it seems like the inner-suburbs of JoCo are going downhill rapidly . . . Read betwixt the lines on this one and maybe the nearby stalled development on Mission Gateway down the road played a factor. Checkit:

FAIRWAY, Kan. - After waiting for a clear path forward and not finding one, Stroud's closed its restaurant in Fairway, according to a statement on Tuesday, Oct. 1. The doors shut on Sept. 30, Stroud's statement said, after the company was faced with an uncertain redevelopment timeline in the area and deteriorating property.
Come back to Waldo. We’ve got plenty of retail space and hungry fans to welcome you back home. Fuck the Golden Ghetto!
ReplyDeleteStroud's today isn't the Stroud's so many of us grew up with.
ReplyDeleteNO!!! please come on back to Belton and try to buy the sneads bbq restaurant one more time.. Great country setting and a big kitchen.. I know you tried once before and was turned down. New offer might just Nagy the new people out.
ReplyDeleteStrouds is great, but holy shit that stretch of shawnee mission parkway is cursed or something because no one wants to deal with it. The mission center project has been an empty field for decades and shows no sign of becoming anything other than a dirt field ever again and the chicken restaurant half a mile down the road doesn't want to stay
ReplyDeleteThere are two Johnson Counties - the old, slightly dingy North JoCo, and the upscale and more prosperous South JoCo. North JC is aging and losing businesses. We counted a bunch of Used car lots, payday loan stores, and liquor stores along Metcalf. Signs of the times.
ReplyDeleteThat place was never busy. That neighborhood in Fairway is filling up with young wealthy couples with dogs and kids. They are not a fried chicken and mashed spuds crowd.
ReplyDeleteNot to mention it sucked compared to the Northland location.
ReplyDeleteStrouds has been over rated for years.
ReplyDeleteThe fried chicken at Pizza Ranch is surprisingly good!
Delete^^As compared to Bob Evans??? Geezer please.
ReplyDeleteChimpy please. You're allowed bananas and nuts!
Deletegreat idea about stroud's replacing snead's - relief is long overdue from that messed up restaurant
ReplyDelete3:50, keep those geezer hater remarks coming. It's always hilarious when the replies calling you Chimpy follow.
ReplyDeleteAnother good ass stomping on Chimpy, 4:26!
Any fried chicken lovers in South JoCo should try The Brass Onion. Delicious.
ReplyDeleteThe real mystery was how they had that old troost location...you'd go there on a saturday...not a black in the dining room not serving chicken. it was glorious.
