Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken — Restaurant in Roseville

I've only been here twice my first experience was good other than the fact the chicken chunks I ordered could've been hot but they were room however the food had good flavor. I decided to pick up dinner yesterday only to get home to discover we had a 3pc bone in instead of the chicken strips I order not to mention the chicken chunks were not fresh again. So I had to go all the way back up there because that's not what I ordered. So when I get there the manager brings the box to me and opens it and says I'm assuming you already got your other side 🤔 umm first of all I just gave you back the entire meal you've already opened the box and looked through the food the way that it looked is the way you all gave it to me. So she then ask a team member to put more fries and takes the other bag and say we'll just toss it .. Good because I wasn't trying to keep it my family doesn't eat bone in chicken for one for two it was so greasy looking so no thank you then she gives me my new order didn't apologize for my inconvenience at all and when I told her that her response was I was placed your order. You were going to do that regardless because that wasn't what I ordered. Not to mention the food was not good the Chicken and potatoes were full of salt. When I first tried the place I was telling everyone there it's new chicken place in Roseville and it's good now I will revise what I said because yesterday it sucked and for the price it should be made right. Needless to say I won't be back not only because of the food but management needs to be a little bit more apologetic when jacking up an order.. She thought I was apologizing to her when I was being sarcastic, child I don't live up the street this was an inconvenience so...

I’ve waited a long time to write this review. It’s honest and not motivated by anger or anything like that.

I watched and patiently waited for this place to be built. When it finally opened, I was there within the first week to give it a try. It was well worth the wait. The “breast strips” were enormous, fresh, real white meat chicken…a home run. The sides were always hot, fresh, and generally yummy. For ~6 months I went back for the chicken once a week, it was that good. I even took some out of town friends there as if it were a local delicacy. They concurred “the breast strips are amazing!”.

Well, the promotional period is over and now, it’s just a run of the mill chicken place. They literally switched the size of the servings of chicken. The “breast strips” are just regular ole small chicken tenders, not nearly as fresh. The side dishes used to come in a dedicated side dish bowl, full to the brim. Now, they throw them in a styrofoam partition platter, estimated half the volume.

It’s also not specific to THIS location. I tested another location, on Garfield, and it’s the same thing. The chicken is half the size and the sides are half the volume.

I don’t blame the management or staff…it’s nothing short of corporate greed. They got people hooked on the huge, delicious chicken and then started selling us something that would never live up to what they gave us in the beginning. A straight hustle.

My overall, present day assessment: Good value fast food chicken (the prices haven’t gone up...

I can't comment on the atmosphere but my meal was great as we all know that fast food chains have significantly changed only thing that I can comment on is the meal that I got I ordered off DoorDash so therefore I again cannot comment on the atmosphere but the food itself was superior to all the other fast-food restaurants. I've tried unless you're going towards the south and there's a certain fast food restaurant involving chicken that we all know is amazing. It has something to do with cane but as far as Lee's chicken goes the recipe reminded me a lot of of the old KFC the KFC that was delicious and a treat that we would get when we were young. I'm an 80s baby so it was definitely something that was exciting when my family would get KFC chicken for dinner on a blue moon. I have been searching for a good fast food chain and I was nervous when I ordered this. I had read the reviews and it gave me reviews but I don't know what chicken they tasted. My food was amazing. It was so nostalgic brought me back to the late 90s early 2000. I was very satisfied the cheese wasn't amazing but it wasn't terrible. It was the chicken that was important. The mashed potatoes tasted like the old KFC you will not be disappointed. KFC has fell off and Lees is here to resurrect...
