“ A staple of Benton park, hodak is a fried chicken place with a cool old time vibe, they have more seating in the back. Our waitress was very attentive and helpful. The mac and cheese is a queso mac and cheese so it had a bit of a kick to it ”
“ Best chicken in St Louis! Have been a landmark forever. Be prepared to wait on game days. Has been a birthday tradition since I was in my teens. Used to be free on your actual birthday. But now it's 50% off. ”
“ I've been dining around St. Louis for years, and Hodak's has been a staple for just as long. The chicken is undeniably good--fresh, hot, and satisfying when you order it. But here's where people often go wrong: Hodak's fried chicken isn't meant to be taken home and eaten cold. Once it cools down, you might notice an aftertaste from the oil. So, the key is to dine in, order the chicken fresh, and pair it with a side of their delicious coleslaw. You can always count on Hodak's for a tasty meal, but make sure to enjoy it on the spot for the best experience! ”
“ A St. Louis classic!!! I've been coming here with my family since I was little, and the chicken never disappoints. Recently I came with my husband and tried the hot Nashville chicken sandwich for the first time. I was surprised that it was actually pretty spicy, but it was delicious. You get a lot of food for a very affordable price. We sat at the bar and Lenny was so friendly and attentive. Looking forward to our next trip. ”
“ Hodacks restaurant is known for its fried chicken in St. Louis, Mo. Well in my opinion it was okayyyy! The chicken itself was good (could've used a little more seasoning) but the breading definitely needed seasoning. The place was crowded, but we were seated right away and was able to talk without shouting. Our server Tim was great. #Hodaks #StLouis ”
“ Great Food! Great Customer Service! Lenny was courteous, friendly and the food was fantastic! My recommendation for a date night or just hanging out with friends! ”
“ I've been going to Hodaks for years and I've never been disappointed. They have always had the same friendly staff and it really makes it feel like home. My go to is always the chicken wings and I've tried other things but those hold my heart lol. That Cole slaw might be one of the best I've ever had in my life. They have plenty of seating options and it's always decorated for whatever holiday or season is in. A real STL gem ”
“ Chicken, Chicken and more Chicken, this is a STL institution at Hodak's! Perfect casual place for pre-game meal or snack nearby downtown arenas and stadiums. Oh yeah, don't miss their "fried" eats including signature Fried Chicken, Wings, Mushrooms, T-Ravs, Potato Skins and more. Super friendly and efficient service, your beer or beverage won't run empty. Overall 3.5+ rated for me; service was great, food solid, a happenin' local spot where regulars enjoy the ambience and keep coming back! Expect to pay $10-20pp depending your food and drink orders. Today we sampled their Fried Chicken Wings, Sticky Wings, Potato Skins and Fried Mushrooms. Portion size plentiful for sharing. The fried breaded Wings were large and good tasting; altho i've had other wings I prefer more, they've been serving these a long time and I wasn't used to dipping my own hot sauce (usually tossed in), but i liked 'em. The Sticky Wings were Sweet and Tangy (similar to Teriyaki type flavor), but made a nice variety to sample. The "shrooms" platter was simple and plentiful, and xtra tasty dipped in Ranch! Skins were also good, typical style with some cheese, bacon and sour cream. Next time I'd like to try their Chicken sandwich or a dinner meal. Don't miss a St. Louis tradition if searching for a local Chicken eatery and bar! Cheers, ENJOY! ”
“ Rick was our waiter and did an excellent job with service! Even going as far as fixing our wobbly table. Thanks so much! The food was excellent. Hodaks has an excellent reputation of not disappointing. The food is consistently good. The restaurant was a haven on this cold winters night. Warm and inviting The only difficulty we had is the traffic light next to the restaurant never would change to green. But, this is not Hodak's fault. There is a parking lot across the street as well as street parking. ”
