Porter's Fried Chicken

Best fried chicken in st. louis hands down. Always comes out hot and fresh, and the white meat is seasoned well and flavorful. Friendly employees and fast service too. Even the prices are great! Try the jalapeño poppers, they do a great job on them.

It is not a fancy place, but the chicken is delicious. When you eat it feels like your mother or grandmother made it. I don't know what sided taste like because I have never purchased. It is out of the way for me, but worth the drive.

I grew up a couple of blocks from this place and have continued going there for over 30 years. I would walk down to the laundromat(which is now Big Bend Liquor), play some Mortal Kombat 2, and then pop in for a Tender, Catfish nug, or Wing Meal with double fries. I now reside in Affton. I still make the drive to this place. Maybe it's the comfort. Personally there are not many places that touch the taste of the chicken especially when it's fresh. In general a lot of their sides leave much to be desired but the chicken in the star here. Fries and Okra extra crispy. You like sweet-ish slaw, this is your place. One other thing. Their hot sauce. Get their hot sauce. Buy a bottle. It's like some stuff you'd find at the bottom of a shelf somewhere. But man oh man is it delightful. Blows Crystal's out of the water.

Service - For some reason they didn't get my order ready, even though I had called in ahead of time and was waiting for it, so a bunch of customers that came in after me got their food before me. Finally someone in the back asked what I was waiting for and then I finally got my order. Thumbs down for service. Food - The food was great! They have really good fried chicken. Thumbs up for food.

My Partner wanted to get food from Porter's Fried Chicken for the Superbowl Sunday. I'd never had it before and y'all let me tell you...it was very good. I had a four piece chicken 🐓 dinner and ate almost the entire thing. I was so full, but happily full. I've had other chicken restaurants, but this tasted more like home style cooking to me. My partner got a four piece chicken 🐔 dinner as well, but also order the fried mushrooms and corn fritters. Those corn fritters tasted like hush puppies and were so good. I've always loved hush puppies, but hadn't had them this tasty in a long time. The fried mushrooms were tasty as well and no sauce was needed for either. If you're going to Porter's for a meal or to have an event catered you will not be disappointed. We will be paying them another visit soon. There was ample parking outside of the establishment, but it was a popular pickup spot for chicken being catered as it was Superbowl Sunday. There were signs posted about social distancing with coronavirus. Masks were required upon entry. There was no sitting to eat. One could order inside or call it in for pickup. The establishment only allowed a certain number of people at a time to remain inside. The Staff has on gloves and masks as well from what I saw. The establishment is wheelchair accessible as well from the parking lot. #Tonetta #speakyourtruth #bedroomkandi
