Porter's Fried Chicken

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.

We had a family event a couple weeks prior to our visit. Someone brought chicken wi gs and tenders from Porters. We tried it and liked it. So we decided to try dinner. We got two appetizers the fried okra and fried mushrooms both were crispy and perfect. You seldom get the with either of those items. We also both got the chicken tenders meals The tenders which are actually half the breast meat were crispy on the outside but juicy and not dried out. You get 4 large tenders Cole slaw another side and a roll. The price was awesome also. A fantastic experience!
