So we just went to Stockyards on St. Clair West. I've heard a lot about this place and finally got a chance to try it out.
Our intention was to go for their ribs. But I guess we shoulda read the fine print - that they only serve ribs on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays :-(
Not the end of the world because I also luv good fried chicken. So that's what I ordered. One order comes with four pieces of chicken and a mountain of fries! The fried chicken dinner - not the chicken and waffles. (I've never understood the concept of the chicken and waffles combo but maybe that's just me Lol.) And I ordered a Boylan black cherry pop. Wow, does it ever go good with fried chicken!
The Good
- a friendly, hole-in-the-wall type joint
- personally, I liked the counter seating so I can see all the action in the kitchen
- the chicken is THE best. I normally don't like white meat because it's too dry for my tastes but these folks manage to keep the white meat moist
- the fries are good
The Bad
- we didn't much like the spicy sauce that comes with the chicken
- my friend didn't like the counter-only seating
- the place is small so if u go during prime dinner time like we did, there's quite a line-up. It would be less of a problem if I wasn't that hungry but I was starving so it made the wait seem almost unbearable
Next time I go--and I definitely will go back--I'm not going during prime dinner time! Lol
