Erik RowleyJune 8, 2019Service here was top notch, home style cooking-their most popular the 1/2 golden brown chicken meal with crinkle fries & coleslaw. Loved the chicken, slaw not so much (vinegar). Free travel mug to-go!
Ben KaminskiOctober 19, 2015We had the chicken fried chicken and the chicken fried steak. Both were exceptionally delicious. Fried mushrooms were top notch, and a huge portion. The fried chicken is awesome. Will be going back.
Riverfront TimesAugust 4, 2014Fried chicken is the main attraction here - more than a few claim it's the city's best. For $7.35 you get a half-chicken fried to a crisp, golden brown, the surface uniformly crunchy, the meat tender. Read more
1/2 Chicken and/or Shrimp plates are a must when dining at this STL staple.
Kenny WillsJanuary 13, 2020Sitting at the bar Is a whole new experience that place quality bartenders well poured drinks and 95% of the time you’re gonna have somebody sitting next to you that is always a great conversation
Best fried chicken in St. Louis! No matter if I ate or I'm full I find a way to stop I'm here before I leave.
Michael PicardAugust 3, 2015The chicken is amazeballs! The ambiance is really great too, sounds of friends and family hanging out over some fried chicken.
Barbara AndersonDecember 28, 2013Arrive early for dinner! The line of people waiting for a table quickly builds up and extends across the restaurant. Your entire group must be present to be seated.
Lauren PageJuly 1, 2015This place is incredibly unfriendly! Spoke with Charleen and she was getting ready to tow potential customers cars! Our daughter was in class at Bumbershoot, the entire parking lot was empty!- BoB DarnellApril 3, 2021Great chicken and they even have Boulevard Wheat in draft! Pies are great too.
Kymberlie BirkenkampAugust 10, 2014Always a line, but don't let it intimidate you. It moves fast, and the wait is worth it.
Sanjeya NavaratnamJune 7, 2013Tim is an awesome server. Very informative and had the patience to explain everything. Great service and great food
Alexis RSeptember 1, 2013Hodak's is known for their fried chicken but if that's not your thing, they make a great ribeye steak sandwich too!
Olli KOctober 15, 2016I was a bit disappointed! The chicken just tasted like fried meat. No type of flavor or seasoning in my opinion...at least not in the batch I had. The sides were ok. Nothing special
jeanette lannieNovember 8, 2013sooo good if ur ever in st Louis u gotta go here. the chicken wing dinner is off the chain
Sarah WiszkonOctober 22, 2010I normally don't like fried chicken, but Hodak's is beyond amazing...not too greasy, juicy, and a perfect level of crisp. The coke slaw is pretty darn good too.
Katie CarterJanuary 11, 2011Lots of great food for an inexpensive price! For instance, 1/2 a fried chicken and two sides for just over $7. Some of the best chicken in St. Louis.
The ½ Chicken, French Fries, and cole slaw is the best!
Dianne CartyAugust 11, 2015Came today with my daughter to celebrate and have fried chix. Got timely but nasty service from Rick, because we decided to change our order. I dont know I'll be coming back soon.
Thomas MooreMay 9, 2013The Hodak wings are a classic. The Sticky Wings are a go too. Either way, hella food for not a lot of money.- Riverfront TimesApril 2, 2013Voted St. Louis' Favorite Fried Chicken 21 years in a row in the RFT Readers Poll!! Yummmmmmm
Kirstjen LorenzMay 16, 2018Juicy and crispy fried chicken, but pretty pretty bland. Put some seasoning in the cornmeal.
Dean BruemmerJanuary 2, 2013Everyone knows the chicken is great, but the fried mushrooms are tremendous, as well.
Danielle ButlerDecember 29, 2012I love the chicken! Awsome environment! Got my hot pink shirt peace love and chicken grease!
- Extremely cheap, but this is a place were you get what you pay for. Huge portions of mediocre food. Not bad, but not good simply adequate and portions that are out of control.
- Danielle ButlerDecember 29, 2012I love the chicken! Always chill! I got a shirt! Peace love and chicken grease!
