Update… Saturday at 12:45. Maybe a bad day but chicken cold, small, and very thin. Not a $16 box! Old Review here: I am a fried chicken connoisseur. My review of Lee’s in Mount Sterling has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times!. After encountering multiple disappointments at this Lee’s I was hopeful when I saw a sign that said “Under New Management”. Two times in a row we were served the best chicken ever… it was actually hot & fresh, big tender juicy pieces. The lady who served us today went out of her way to greet us and make sure our order was perfect. The sweet tea was spot on and the potato wedges were hot and tasty. Cannot wait to go back.

Before Covid-19, Lee’s had a buffet and I had never been through the drive thru… I always loved the place, and they deserved a 4 star in this fast food chicken arena.

Very slow service, appeared to be only two employees working at the time. The biscuits taste like half baked dough with too much shortening. The dining room was very cold. Last Sunday people were leaving without eating because the service was extremely slow. The hot food bar was empty most of the time. Very poor place to eat. Customers were complaining. I don’t know who owns this restaurant but someone needs to tell him that word of mouth is the best advertisement he’s got.

Stopped by for lunch today. The buffet bar was empty and what was there had been there since opening. Then two items that was on the menu that I tried to get for lunch , I was told that they hadn’t had it for over two years and not even sure what it was. This place needs new management or owners. But they do have refreshments, dried out chicken rock hard biscuits and cold mashed potatoes and gravy. So stop at your own risk!

Never had this chicken before. We just bought the strips and boy are they huge! And delicious! Bought 6 strips thinking they were going to be thin and short, we ate one each and brought the other four home!

This has to be the worst food experience of my life! None of the employees are wearing masks. Flies buzzing everywhere! Lady behind register taking my order looked high on something. Out of coleslaw and most of the drinks were out of order. Taking cash only. After paying for my food I went to the bathroom were I was attacked by at lest 10 flies . No soap or paper towels in bathroom. So not sure how people working there are washing their hands. After that saw more flies when they got the chicken out of the case. At this point I told them to cancel my order. Did not offer a refund. I left. They do not deserve a one star but that’s as low as I could leave. If you value your health do not eat here.

On this day I have to say I was very surprised by the food and service two orders of two piece fish dinners three pieces where cold and the forth piece was supposed to be brought to us and we are still looking for it so I think they need a little bit of improvement before we go back.

This place is unorganized, no one knows what to do. Everyone is standing at the front counter waiting on their food. No cups were offered so we could have have our drinks while waiting on our meal. The place was ice cold, my nose was dripping, it was so cold. The buffett, do I need to mention that? Not attended to. Their debit card machine wasn’t working so only cash paying customers were taken. The last time I was here….MANY MONTHS AGO….the debit machine didn’t work, I think I would get that fixed. I am quite sure I’ll not be back again.

Order classic chicken and they told me that I would have to wait 15mins for some to be made. I thought yeah fresh hot chicken it took them 45mins to get me my 8 piece. They made the wrong kind and for it taking so long they gave me a free small drink and a extra piece of chicken. It was mostly clean in there and the women’s bathroom was out of order. Not sure if I will go back or not the chicken was greasy and really salty.

Always love Lee’s Chicken but if you get the extra mashed potatoes and gravy on a 8 piece you’re going to pay an extra five bucks so beware your total is going to be at least $30 if you love chicken it’s worth it if not I would just stick with your regular deal
