Guy and Helen Stroud opened the first Stroud's at 85th and Troost in 1933 as a roadhouse serving barbecue, switching to pan-fried chicken during World War II beef rationing. The pan-frying method, seasoned flour and no batter, became the Kansas City standard. The Oak Ridge Manor location, a restored 1840s log-cabin homestead, was added in 1983 and continues to serve cinnamon rolls with every plate.
