History
editGuy and Helen Stroud started a BBQ restaurant on the county line at 85th and Troost.[2] When beef was rationed during World War II, the restaurant began serving a pan-fried chicken dinner for 35 cents.[2][3] Other menu items at this time included long end ribs for 15 cents and goose livers for 10 cents.[4]
In 1977, Mike Donegan and Jim Hogan purchased the restaurant and inherited some of the original recipes.[2][4]
In 1983, Mike Donegan, his twin brother, Dennis Donegan, and Jim Hogan purchased a northern site called Oak Ridge Manor.[2] Oak Ridge Manor is inside a restored 1840s log cabin.[3] They purchased a third location in Wichita, Kansas in 1992.[2] In 2006, the original location closed to eminent domain.[2][3][5]
Hogan sold his share in 2000, and the Donegan family remained in the business until Mike Donegan's death in 2021.[3]
