"Well Daddy, all the calories in the chicken are found in the skin..."
"Whatchu talking about where all the fats and calories is..You know where that comes from, that damn TV...Every time you turn it on you have someone talking about loosing weight, get healthy..."
-Nutty Professor - Dinner Scene
At Stockyards, the biggest mistake would be 'scalping' your buttermilk fried chicken! mmmmm....mmmmm....mmmmm. Served in a skillet with (AWESOME) shoe string fries, the four pieces of perfectly battered, golden fried chicken are a soul pleasing, belly bursting favourite! I have never had a batter like the one Stockyards serves up. It's sweet, tangy, salty with a kick of spice. My mouth is actually watering. You'll usually get two pieces of white and two pieces of dark meat. AND that side coleslaw - Perfect balance between the creamy and vinegary kind with a mean kick of pepper! Stockyards is usually great about substitutions. When I'm feeling a little on the "unhealthy side" I substitute my fries for whatever veg is on special. It's usually some type of collard green, asparagus, beans, kale or brussels sprout. BUT these aren't the kind your momma makes...they're covered in butter and simmering from the skillet!
Stockyards always has specials for the day or week but you'll be able to order your classics off their menu all the time: pulled pork, pulled chicken, RIBS (every Tues, Fri and Sunday), Classic or Smashed Burger, Trout Sandwich, BBQ Beef Brisket, Grilled Cheese (always some unusual and yummy interpretation).
** If you ever see the Portobello Mushroom Burger on the chalk board menu, GET IT! It's in my list of the top best things that have hit my lips. Imagine this...large portobello mushroom, covered in aged cheddar cheese and deep fried to a perfect crisp. Put in between a buttery, white bun, a pesto mayo and some arugula thrown on top. I dare you to try and finish it!
I could go on and on about the food. There are so many choices and so much to rave about. Actually, only one complaint. The pulled chicken sandwich can be a little too wet. You need to eat it fast. I left it for 3 minutes and the bun was soppy wet. Made it very difficult to eat.
The Staff/Service and Place
They call themselves the modern family diner/BBQ joint! It definitely has the vibe of a family kitchen. The owner is usually somewhere around. Whether on the grill or chatting with his patrons. My first time there he came up to my boyfriend and I and asked us if we wanted to try his sweet/tangy syrup he just created. We were one of the first to try it! Now its used on the Chicken and Waffles for brunch. It's a non pretentious place with kick ass food and friendly staff who love their job! If the staff are happy, you know you're going to be happy.
There are not many places to sit but don't be shy. Pull a stool up to the bar or beside someone else on the side. During the summer they have a bench in the front with a small table. We love eating out there.
I've basically written an essay but I think you get the point. You NEED to visit Stockyards. Try their fried chicken...and bring friends so you can mooch off their skillet too!
