Basic down home cooking. Good food at a good price. What makes this place stand out is the atmosphere, the clientele and the service. This place is familiar. It’s comfortable. It’s fun. I love how local it feels, like some of these people have been eating here for decades. Awesome vibe. This is not white linen tablecloths, this is beer and beef! Go there with the right expectations and you will be happy.

Best Fried Chicken in STL! Always great service and a great South St. Louis atmosphere. Has been a family favorite for decades!

Food was fantastic and the service was friendly and on point. Didn’t get a picture but the fried mushrooms were the best I’ve ever had!

Our server was friendly and kept our drinks topped off and checked on us frequently.The sweet tea was really good. We had the chicken. It was hot, juicy, and crispy, but unfortunately that’s where the hype ends. There wasn’t a speck of seasoning to be found or tasted. The chicken literally tastes like grease and bland batter. Being a southerner the key to good chicken is definitely seasoning. Crispy fried, juicy chicken is sadly a waste without that flavor and it’s definitely missing. Sadly even with the great service Lupe provided we won’t be return customers.

We tried the fried chicken wings, chicken tenders, and the fried mushrooms. The mushrooms were the best among the three, while the chicken tenders were also good. The food was not as good as our expectation, but the service was the best we’ve ever had in St. Louis. Tim was very attentive and kind, he really made us feel like eating in a family’s kitchen. I give 5 stars because of him.

My wife and I ordered the mushrooms as an appetizer. They were great as always.

Great chicken, quaint country environment, and excellent bar service. The pricing is awesome for both beer and food. The servings are monstrous! A 1/2 chicken meal usually leaves me two leftover meals which last well in the fridge and taste great.

I was driving to get some Blues City Deli but I drove past the big sign on Hodak’s saying “Voted Best Chicken in St. Louis” and that it was started in 1962. Did a quick check on Google and it had a ton of review so I had to check it out. Didn’t really know what to get but I knew I had to get a chicken dish. I ended up ordering the Drumstick Dinner which had 4 Drumstick pieces with French Fries and Cole Slaw. The Chicken was breaded so well and tasted super good. The cole slaw was very vinegary, not my favorite but still solid. The fries were solid as well. I sat at the bar, the bartender was very nice and got me everything I needed. I also got a Queso Mac and Cheese to go, that was solid as well. Overall nice place to check out if you’re in the St. Louis area!

I just don’t know why I keep going back here. Very disappointing. The chicken wings are too big and tough and basically tasteless anymore. They used to at least soak the chicken in salt water to flavor the meat, but not anymore. The next day when heating up the wings in the air fryer they were not any better. The meat tasted old and the was still so tough. Not at all good for the prices anymore. The jack salmon shrunk and are so little anymore. Getting disappointed in these restaurants just not going the extra mile anymore while raising their prices all while complaining about tips. It is not the servers faults but spending good money for bad food is very disappointing.

I have been all over the St Louis City and County and even neighboring counties and states on a search for THEE complete chicken meal. This is the first time I have been here and I can say this IS it and a do not miss @$15 for half chicken dinner (I’d already eaten some chicken and fries before I remembered to take the pic)!!
