Basic down home cooking. Good food at a good price. What makes this place stand out is the atmosphere, the clientele and the service. This place is familiar. It's comfortable. It's fun. I love how local it feels, like some of these people have been eating here for decades. Awesome vibe. This is not white linen tablecloths, this is beer and beef! Go there with the right expectations and you will be happy.
I hadn't eaten at Hodak's in a number of years. The food was amazing! I highly recommend all of the chicken dishes of course, but on this visit the Charbroiled, Brown Sugar Pork chop was AMAZING! Paired with baked beans and coleslaw. My only note for the coleslaw is to go easy on the vinegar and add a little more sugar if you have to use vinegar. Otherwise, all of our food was AMAZING! Tasted great, excellent customer service, and fair prices. I will be back again! THANK YOU!
Best Fried Chicken in STL! Always great service and a great South St. Louis atmosphere. Has been a family favorite for decades!
First time here I am hooked the staff was unbelievable just so nice food was excellent and the place was clean and if you love Christmas wow you will love ❤️
We tried the fried chicken wings, chicken tenders, and the fried mushrooms. The mushrooms were the best among the three, while the chicken tenders were also good. The food was not as good as our expectation, but the service was the best we’ve ever had in St. Louis. Tim was very attentive and kind, he really made us feel like eating in a family’s kitchen. I give 5 stars because of him.
I have been going here for years and love the food and service. I know the owners very good people who love their customers and provide a great place for you and your family to enjoy. Best chicken in St. Louis
Food was fantastic and the service was friendly and on point. Didn't get a picture but the fried mushrooms were the best I've ever had!
I was driving to get some Blues City Deli but I drove past the big sign on Hodak's saying "Voted Best Chicken in St. Louis" and that it was started in 1962. Did a quick check on Google and it had a ton of review so I had to check it out. Didn't really know what to get but I knew I had to get a chicken dish. I ended up ordering the Drumstick Dinner which had 4 Drumstick pieces with French Fries and Cole Slaw. The Chicken was breaded so well and tasted super good. The cole slaw was very vinegary, not my favorite but still solid. The fries were solid as well. I sat at the bar, the bartender was very nice and got me everything I needed. I also got a Queso Mac and Cheese to go, that was solid as well. Overall nice place to check out if you're in the St. Louis area!
A St. Louis mainstay, Hodak's is known for its juicy fried chicken and jack salmon. This was my first trip, and while there were many comfort dishes n the menu, I had to try the chicken. T was so good and the plate was so big, I took most of it home with me. Great French fries. I know, but these fries were lightly brown and crispy on the outside and succulent on the inside.
