My husband is a big fan of fried chicken, so over the years we have tried it just about everywhere we go! So we think that Crusoes in Oakville has the best! We also love servers Ryan and Adam! They are the best!

I would definitely have to say in the whole St Louis area, Hodak's hands down. You get great food and a great price.

I think the best fried chicken is at Marty's Bistro in High Ridge. It is moist and tender, then outside is crispy.
Margaret Ems May 14, 2012 at 10:16 pm
I don't know what it is, but I love the fried chicken at Gingham's in South County. I also like King Edwards.
Joan Lange May 16, 2012 at 09:11 pm
Fergies is one of the best around. Love that little place.
