"Love this place. They are usually pretty consistent on the food, but some times the gizzards can be bad, but still better then most places. Not always the friendliest of service( on this visit the service was great ),but hey they get the job done. If your ever in the area definitely stop in, and give them a try. I don't think anyone could leave disappointed food wise. Definitely fair priced for what you get ..."

"The Chicken strips and potato wedges are yummy! (I dip the potatoes in mayonnaise) I never thought I would find coleslaw that I love as much as my Moms, but I did. I also want to say that the update looks great in there. The employees are always super friendly as well."

"This place is a MUST!!! And I can’t believe it’s down the road from me. The service is amazing. I went one night before they closed and a part of my order was missing. Even after closing hours, they still answered my call and said to come in the next day for a replacement. I went the very next day and the service from Holy and Dillan were above expectations!! I mean they gave such great service. Thank you for all that you do. The food tastes amazing and the service was amazing."

"It had been over a year since my last visit, and I was pleasantly surprised when I pulled up—the place has been remodeled inside and out, and it really stands out in the area now. Clean, fresh look that makes a great first impression. I picked up a family meal on Saturday, and it was more than enough food. The chicken was juicy and flavorful, the wedges were perfectly crispy, and the gravy tasted just like my grandma used to make. The biscuits were warm, fluffy, and absolutely delicious. Even though we expected a wait with a large order, the staff went above and beyond by offering us a complimentary fountain drink, which was a nice touch. Overall, the renovations are impressive, the food quality was spot on, and the service was thoughtful. I’ll definitely be making Lee’s a more regular stop moving forward."

"My go to chicken spot near home. The best fast fried chicken you’ll ever have. This spot is totally unassuming, but well worth the visit. Chicken tenders are thick and juicy. Coleslaw is creamy, biscuits are buttery and soft. Wedges are crisp. Staff is quick and provides service with a smile, and prices are very reasonable. Cannot stop talking about Lee’s."

"Nobody cooks gizzards and livers as good as Lee’s does. Every time my family and I are in town we have to stop by and get some livers and gizzards. The employees are always friendly. Before even leaving the parking lot we are always asked for change . That isn’t the restaurant’s fault."
