Go to Strouds chicken in KC, "we choke our own chickens"I'm in the land of chain restaurants here so anything different is welcome. Although an Arkansas joint (Slim Chickens) opened on the same Bass Pro property and in my opinion, it's not very good. That's a very toned down opinion of the place. Cain's chicken just opened here too. That's a chicken finger place. WTH? Are we all 12 years old or what?
I like the Las Cabos in Owasso but I agree wit tr that Chuy's is better. I don't understand why anyone likes Ted's. Compadre's is OK, El Tequila is good and has fast service if you are trying to squeeze in lunch out.
But really - none of them hold a candle to El Rio Verde.
Hole in the wall Mexican places are the best!
El Rio Verde is awesome. Tiny, in a crappy neighborhood, bars on the windows, etc., but damn good.
Also good spots in no particular order:
Tacos Don Francisco (11th st location is too small for groups-go to 21st and Memorial).
Mr. Tacos on North Lewis (no inside dining at all-walk up and order-the king burrito is enormous and the meats are good)
Tacos El Rinconcito (near Best Buy just off I-44, also not the best/prettiest neighborhood, really good tortas)
Las Americas (3rd st, next to Second Hand Rose Pawn, looked closed down last I saw, but fingers crossed)
East Tulsa is just full of good spots around 21st and Garnett. To be fair, none of these places are in what you would think of as "nice" areas. You won't see fancy cars, big houses, or lots of people who are shiny as a new penny. But the food....Dear God, the food. I may need a moment.
Im close to Kenosha St BAs strip of eat places so I usually grab my fast food near there when home. Im not a big chicken fanatic like my wife and kids but I will eat it. I like the chicken and waffles at Slim Chikens and I like Raising Canes. There is now a new ChikFilA near those two. Just down the street is: Popeyes, KFC, BWW, plus a Churchs is only a few miles away. We also have a place called Roys chicken in Coweta that is decent. To each their own as they say.
