Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken — Restaurant in Richmond

I have always loved Lee's Famous Recipe! I had to try the Chicken Sandwich Combo. I got the spicy sandwich, and the spice is not bad. The potato wedges are great, as always. UPDATE:. March 18, 2022- No, things have not changed. They still offer the same great food. I ordered a 2 piece Classic Meal with a biscuit, mashed potatoes and gravy, and cole slaw and Diet Pepsi. It was great! Unfortunately, you still can't dine in, and I think they need people to work. Also, like everything else, prices have gone up. UPDATE:. September 29, 2022-It has changed. You can dine in now, but there wasn't any one in there when I went to pick up my meal. Everyone was using the drive thru. The food is still delicious. I had the 2 piece combo with chicken leg, breast, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy, Cole Slaw, Biscuit, and Diet Pepsi. It was great. I have had it before, and will have it again. UPDATE: May 22, 2023-I ordered on the app and got a two piece combo with chicken leg, wing, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy, Green Beans, Biscuit, and Diet Pepsi. Still delicious. Unfortunately, there was one man sitting in there eating. Others were going through the drive thru or ordering on the app, or catering. They are still needing people to work there. I hope they don't go out of business like O'Charley's. UPDATE: June 6, 2023-I redeemed my free meal reward from the app. I got two Spicy Chicken Strips, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy, Green Beans, Biscuit, and Diet Pepsi, along with Honey Mustard sauce. The only thing I paid for was the drink. It was all delicious! It is well worth it to have the app. One orders 7 times, and then one gets a free meal. UPDATE: July 31, 2023- I tried their new Hot Nashville Chicken Sandwich, and it was messy, but delicious. The sauce was great. The Potato Wedges were delicious. I do not know if it was a limited time only item, so I don't know if they will continue to have it on the menu or not. UPDATE: November 4, 2023-I ordered the 2 Piece Chicken Strips meal with Mashed Potatoes and Gravy, Cole Slaw, a Biscuit, and Diet Pepsi. When I got home, I was in for a surprise. Instead of getting 2 strips, I got 5 strips! Obviously this was more than I can eat, so I wasn't going to return them. Instead, I kept them for another time, then I took them to my parents to have. My Mom was pleased when she got them, and it was her birthday! UPDATE: March 23, 2024-I ordered the Spicy Chicken Sandwich, along with Potato Wedges and Diet Pepsi from the new app. It is always delicious and worth it to order again. UPDATE: November 5, 2024-I ordered the 2 pc Chicken Meal, with a chicken breast and chicken leg, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy, Potato Wedges, Biscuit, and a Diet Pepsi. The whole meal was delicious, but can someone tell me why they have to charge $1.50 in order to have a chicken breast? UPDATE: April 11, 2025-I ordered a 2 piece Chicken Meal with Mashed Potatoes and Gravy, Cole Slaw, Biscuit, and a Diet Pepsi. I also got a free Dessert for my birthday, so I got a free Apple Pie. Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of the Apple Pie. But the whole meal was a delicious...

I occasionally go to the location in Richmond, IN, on East Main Street. The food is always hot and tasty, no problem there. There is always a line 3 cars deep or have several wrapped around the building. I decided to go in one afternoon to pick up a couple of side items because the drive-thru was 6 cars deep that day. Once inside, there were 3 people already in line and another 4 waiting for food, but I noticed their wait was short, and only 2 guests seated in the dining room. There was 1 counter register and a pickup window register in use. I saw 2 more employees, plus the manager, working dillentgy non-stop filling orders in back and at least 2 employees in the kitchen. Who were restocking. A total of only 7 employees. My point is that this store could do AMAZING as a larger restaurant with more employees if only it were renovated to accommodate their activity. They have no "down-time" so-to-speak. However, both locations are very outdated, which may be causing them to be behind all the time. I leave you with this question: Is this a "bad thing"? Society has become spoiled with fast food chains, the quickly drive-thru, and tasteless meals on the go. Hardly anyone sits down for a meal. It's not always convenient to wait in line when all you want is a couple of side items for dinner. However, it's a humble reminder that there are places that stay in business for a reason. Excellent food, friendly service. Strongly recommend giving...

Would give it no stars if possible. We made the mistake of ordering online before we left our house, thinking that it would be quick and convenient to slip through and pick it up on our way. We pulled in to find the doors to the lobby locked, and the drive through line backed up onto the road. The drive through line was moving at 1 car per 6 minutes. Calls to the restaurant went unanswered, forcing us to sit in the drive through line and wait, as we had already prepaid for $80 worth of food as part of the online order process. At this point we simply wanted to cancel our order and be on our way, but we were instead forced to wait for an hour before finally being served ice cold stale food. Yes, apparently our order was actually ready at the assigned pickup time, but with no way to actually get the food out of the restaurant, it had been left to sit somewhere far from a warmer...
