Best deep fried chicken

Hodak's has the best deep fried chicken that I have had in 20 years. Their prices are outstanding.

What's the fuss about?

You either love Hodak's or hate them. I hate them. To me it is the worst restaurant in St. Louis. I can't give them even one star.

I heard it was the best chicken in town. I am so sorry for St. Louis. I've been there 3 times and have found it to be utterly disgusting. Fortunately for me I didn't have to pay for any of the meals.

All 3 times there was a long wait, little attention from the servers, and they got my order wrong all three times. I thought the food was nasty all three times. I won't eat there again. 3 strikes.

My first experience, after we finally got a table nearly an hour after waiting, I ordered the meatloaf and mashed potatoes which they gave me chicken instead and when they finally gave me my correct order it was completely cold plus they gave me diet coke instead of coke. It wasn't fit to eat.

As far as their chicken ... gross - I just can't do it. So I decided to try their BBQ chicken to see if they had a different taste to it. - that was the final straw. I went from disgusted to down right mad. It was the same nasty chicken with cold BBQ poured on top. I could have taken the BBQ sauce bottle and put it on myself. The whole point was to have the BBQ cooked with the chicken otherwise it isn't BBQ at all.

Normally I don't complain at restaurants. I usually lie and say everything was fine if it wasn't , but I was pushed to my limits. I never got into an argument with a waitress before and haven't since. I only complained about her serving me chips instead of fries like I ordered and requested that she bring out an order of fries at no additional expense but she insisted that I had ordered chips and she questioned everone else at the table if any of them had heard me order fries instead of chips.

The one redeeming value that I can appreciate is that the prices are reasonable and the portions are fantastic. That is a significant reason as to why it is so popular.

Years ago Hodacks was a great place to dine. Its not the same. After the new owners took over in the mid 80s the quality of service and food has slowly went down hill. Like a lot of south city kids I grew up dining at Hodacks . I have taken my grandchildren there but after the last several times of bad service and cold chicken and once undercooked chicken we go somewhere else. Although the building looks nicer now, for me it is highly overrated.

It use to crawl

I have been a patron of hodaks since when I was a small child. The food was always excellent. However, my last takeout offered me more than what I paid for. I requested to talk to one of the owners. He didn't have the time for me, instead I was given the general manager who was apologetic and offered to replace the meal. It will be some time before I eat at hodaks again. You know, I even had the decency to understand that things like this can happen to the best of restaurants. It's too bad the owner didn't have the time. Oh well, see you later hodaks, much later.
