When you come to Pittsburg Kansas and ask "Where's a good place to eat?" You're likely to hear…read morePitchler's Chicken Annie's. First, it's a damn interesting name. Who's Pichler and who's Annie? If you dine there, read the back of the menu and you'll be educated. Secondly, if you drive by you'll likely see the place surrounded with cars and pickup trucks. That's usually a good sign. Our party of five waited about 15 minutes for a table at 5:30 pm. Not bad on a Saturday night. Seating is at mostly larger tables, and the entire place has a bit of a multi-room cafeteria feel. Comfortable, but a bit chopped up and crowded. They're not striving for romantic dinners. We started out with an order of their Onion Rings. Do not skip this step! And make it a large! You'll thank me for that tip. Ordering the chicken is a bit confusing, especially when your server tells you that the two thigh, one drumstick dinner is their white meat option (bless her, she said "This is my first week, I'm still learning the menu."). The chicken is very good - crispy, tender, and juicy. But don't expect large. These pieces must come from a five pound bird. The sides I ordered were their house coleslaw and potato salad. Both old German recipes. I'd recommend skipping these. The slaw was garlic heavy and sour and the potato salad had very little taste. It's not that they're wrong, just unexpected and not that good for my taste. But you may feel differently. Somehow these recipes have survived for decades! Overall, I rated Pichler's above average. It's an experience with good chicken, good service, great onion rings, and a damn interesting name!

ALRIGHT. After many years of seeing the damn signs, I stopped in while I was in town overnight. Per…read morethe townies, Pichler's is better than the original--and don't even go to Mary's because ownership has changed and the recipe isn't the same. We got in right at opening, and by the time that we left at 1230, it was looking pretty busy. We ordered and waited for a good 20 min before our meal came out. The ice they use is very crushed, almost a slush. Chicken is steaming hot and super fresh. Nice crunch. The batter seasoning is rather plain, but salted. Loved their green beans and coleslaw. The slaw was very vinegary and dryer. Not like the mayo doused slaw you may be used to. Service was excellent. We had a wonderful waitress who made sure our orders were accurate and that our drinks were full

Our server even helped out with some Spanish speaking and was such a nice guy! We will return when in the area again. Clean bathrooms. The place does Mexican right! Respectfully, Bryan Oklahoma City

I am terribly sad to say every time I have gone since it's changed ownership hands it's just not the same. I used to drive down from Kansas City and bring it back home to family for special occasions it was that good! Over the years I have brought friends down on roadtrips bragging it was the best fried chicken they will ever eat. Not so anymore. You've lost a lifetime customer at this point. I kept trying it to see if it would get better but sadly it did not. The chicken wasn't the same flavor and defiantly not juicy, the onion rings were limp and tasteless. The quality of the food coming out and the taste just isn't there anymore.

There…read morehave been several tv shows that featured this restaurant, along with the competitor right up the street from here. I ordered a 2 piece (leg and thigh) dinner with sides. Like before, I could see how the local folks would pick their favorite between the two but I cannot. Annie's has a different crust but equally tasty to Mary's. This chicken was juicy and delicious. I am glad that I was able to experience both offerings at the same time. Come out to Pittsburgh Kansas to support these restaurants!

I've been hearing about this place and saw a post on FB (The Old Parita building). I got home from…read morea business trip and told my wife I wanted to take her out. We drove the thirty minutes in the middle of nowhere to find this place. Man is it a Gem. Really neat looking place. Cool atmosphere and the food was great. Service was good. Timing of the appetizer was a little off. They brought us our bruschetta and literally turned around and brought us our dinner. So that was weird. Anyway. The appetizer wasn't exactly as advertised. Bruschetta usually has goat cheese or something similar. They listed it as goat cheese on the menu but it was cream cheese. Which caught me by surprise. It was tasty though. The dinner though...wow. We ordered the 6oz filet with two sides. I had the grilled asparagus and Italian roasted potatoes as my side and my wife had the Italian veggies and a salad. Everything was spectacular. Steaks were cooked perfectly and very tender with great flavor. No sauce needed! If you're looking for something off the beaten path that is different and good, then make the drive. You won't be disappointed. PS- did I mention the prices are outstanding? Filet was on special for $21.00!? What? Ate a top notch dinner for a little over 60 bucks tip and all. We will be back.

He offered me the menu book they have (they have pictures of almost every dish they offer) and I could tell that they treat their customers very well. They were talking with a few of the guests like they were family. It made me happy to see that. As for the food, they give A LOT for what you pay for. My fried rice is going to last me four meals!!! Their meats are just okay in the pho and fried rice (I ordered beef), but for the amount of food you get. This place is definitely worth it!
