Chicken

[sam greenroyd]

One of the best place's I can remember was The Alamo, some of you ol timers will remember it was on Robinson and sw 43. It's a pawn shop last time I was there.

Is Kern's still open?

The owner closed years ago, last I heard he moved to Elmore city.

There's a broasted chicken place that also has broasted potatoes in Okema sets on the nw corner of I-40 at the exit, it's a Conoco station. Killer stuff.

Been there forever. Been good that long as well.

Speaking of chicken...

Has anyone had the BBQ chicken at Ken's? It's across the street from the
Amber highschool. The steaks are incredible but I've not ordered the
chicken.

There's something about a restaurant that doesn't have a menu.

He serves 2 steaks, ribs and chicken. He also wears red suspenders and is
very loud and fun. Think of it as a 5 star restaurant in Mayberry.

Fair warning! If you step out of line to go to the restroom the next party
might get your spot. There's always a LONG line and no reservations.

that is a good place though.

I eat at Ken's at least once a month, well worth the 30--45 minute drive from OKC. The chicken is very good, but I usually order the large steak. The salad bar is limited but always fresh, includes fried okra and pinto beans. Ken's is only open on Thur., Fri., and Sat. from 4--9 PM.

Why has Beverly's been omitted?

I liked their chicken, but really loved their breakfast items...

Pancakes and eggs...

Probably because we're living in the present.

I liked the chicken, too. Don't they still have "Chicken in the Rough" at the
restaurant on N.W. Expressway? Their pancakes were great! I don't care
how cheap the syrup was LOL! I always liked it when the waitress called
me sweetie or honey. I thought I was a hot 10 year old!

Now I've got to go and find out. Not that I'm a hot 10 year old! Y'all get
your mind out of the gutter! ACK! I mean if the chicken is still good!

The Round-up in Del City se 29 has a good buffet w\really good fried chicken

[gen70]

As far as fast food fried chicken goes I like Church's and Chester's (Chester's is sold in quick stop type places) and there used to be a Golden Fried Chicken chain that I thought was pretty good.

Was going to stop in Okemah Friday for some chicken and the conoco closed down. almost cried..............

[rcjunkie]

Made my first (and last) visit to Eischen's on Friday, was not impressed at all, was with a party of 9 and had almost an hour wait.

[papaOU]

Eischen's, The Rock Cafe (Stroud), Pop's (Arcadia) & Granny's Kitchen (Chandler) have all evolved in the same way. If your in the area then stop, but don't make a special trip because it's not worth it.

Closed for good, or just closed at the time?
If the former, cryin' is appropriate. If the latter, curse the bad luck.

O.K. Guys/Gals:.....Rondvu has posted a flickr thread with OKC pictures of the past....There is one ( on the slide preview) of the old Beverly's downtown. There is a Kerr's picture some of the old Brown's Store pictures.....It is worth your time to enjoy if you get a chance.....I thought I even saw Prunepicker in one of them.......

Where's the post located? Where's the link? How in the world are we
supposed to get there? Call a taxi?

Here you go. If you look close you can see him talking to Henry Overholser.

I'll second the Alamo on S. Robinson. They posted the recipe they used in the paper a few years ago. I remember it as the Alamo Plaza with the motel courts behind.

[Prunepicker]

For all you chicken lovers. Go and try the chicken at the new restaurant that
just opened called Cajun King on 63rd & MacArthur. It is the bomb! I am just
hooked on it. That and the catfish.

Where is it from the intersection? SW, SE, South, East? What's it next to?

Looked like closed for good, they even had a lady's phone # to call to pick up equipment.

You are correct cowboy, they had really good biscuts w/honey also

[Midtowner]

Tried the chicken once.....

Why smoke chicken if you're going to deep-fry it?

To make it as bad for you as possible?

[papaOU]

Thanks. Then it is just not me that dislikes it. Whenever the place is mentioned people just rave about it. Don't know if it is really the chicken, or all these white folks are trying to impress by going to a place on N.E. 23 after midnight?

Prunepicker, it's located on the SW corner. East of Walgreens, Dry Cleaners, Massage parlor and bicycle shop. You will see the sign.
