Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Been here quite a few times and rarely ever a disappointment! Great chicken and most all the sides are plentiful and good. Last visit the chicken was hot and juicy just like it ought to be. These folks do a tremendous job to satisfy their...customers. Hard to go wrong with this one. There is a reason for the long line at drive through. The food is very good and reasonable! They do a great job on getting customers through the drive through. It goes fast. Also, a dine in option which is nice to have . Staff is always pleasant. Just a great place to get chicken! Tried the new chicken pot pies and they were great also. *Depending on time of day once in a while have gotten chicken that was a bit dry but that is rare.More

We pulled in about 5:45 Monday after being on the road. Went to order an 8 piece bucket and was asked if we minded all dark meat as they were out of breasts and wings. Asked it we could just substitute four pieces of chicken...strips for the white meat and they were good with that. We ordered coleslaw and potato wedges as our sides. The personnel were very nice and accommodating, making sure that we received our senior discount. Drove home, about a 20 minute drive. Reheated the chicken and sat down to eat. The potato wedges looked like and tasted like they had been sitting around since morning. Cole slaw was good. The standard chicken pieces were ok, but the strips were terrible. Stringy, chewy and tough. Never had that before with chicken strips. Probably our last visit to Lee's.More

I traveled from out of state to visit family and tried this place. I ordered the chicken breast meal with 2 sides - green beans and mashed potatoes with gravy. The meal also included a beverage of your choice - I had unsweetened tea. The...chicken was moist, flavorful and had a crispy coating - perfect. The green beans were flavorful with bacon pieces - perfect. The mashed potatoes were average and tasted like instant with chicken flavored gravy (a bit salty) but good. The unsweetened tea was very good and fresh. The meal combo price is an excellent value and portions are generous. Highly recommend Lee’s Famous Recipe Chicken. The drive-thru is congested so be prepared to wait for your delicious meal-good food takes time and is worth the wait for high quality food. Please support local business.More

We have been driving here for years from about 35 miles away to get their lunch special to find out they no longer have it. So we ordered regular meals through the drive through only to get home and find out they left out the...sides when we arrived home for dinner. We called and they said we could get a side next time .we returned. Not sure if we will go back when we only got half our dinner this time. Everything they have done lately has made a once very good place worse. Too bad.More

Great place to get a Chicken dinner on the go. Dining room is not open but but can go in for takeout service. They have a great drive through window that seem to keep busy. Usually go for the lunch special 11-3 pm. Would have...given a 5 star gladly but the last couple of times there the chicken pieces were small and seemed to be not as freshly cooked as I like but was near the 3 pm time. Normally chicken is fresh juicy and hot if going through closer to lunch time. Prepare to wait in drive through as drive through is busy many times but they move them through fairly fast. Owner very friendly as is most of staff. Highly recommend if looking for reasonable priced chicken meal.on the go. Lots of good sides to choose from..More

Consistently rated #1 for the best fried chicken. I'm not a fan of liver, but my husband says their livers are wonderful. Don't miss their pot pie either.

Lee’s is the best place in town to get good quality fried chicken. Their chicken is not very greasy and has good flavor. The staff is always friendly. And they have a larger selection of chicken pieces than most.

First time at Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken. Good but not great. I want to try the more tender Oven Roast style chicken next visit. Good buttermilk biscuit with honey. Very good price. Pepsi products only. Originally an Ohio based chain. Fun fact: one of the...founders of Famous Recipe is the nephew of Colonel Harland Sanders of KFC.More

We normally don't do any type of fast food but when we are in a hurry this is the place we go. Love the food here. Great fried chicken and if you get a combo meal they have really good mac and cheese. Prices are...affordable and reasonable also. There is a drive up window and a nice large eat in area.More

This is a local favorite. Much better than KFC, in my opinion. You get so much more for your money and it's cheaper too. My wife and I got the chicken breast with mac and cheese, potato wedges, a biscuit and a drink for just...$5.29. Can't beat the value here. Usually always busy. Decent eat in and a drive through.More
