We asked Famous Recipe to cater my very dear friend's Celebration of Life for a few hundred people today. Thank you Van for helping make this an absolutely wonderful day for family and friends. The food was plentiful and wonderful. Your service was superb and we are very appreciative.

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 However, both locations are very outdated, which may be causing them to be behind all the time.I leave you with this question: Is this a "bad thing"?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 them a visit.

Been going here for years and today I got scolded for getting a refill after eating in my car. I was told refills are only for people that dine in. I paid the same price as them but I can’t get a refill because I ate outside? Not to mention I wouldn’t need a refill if my medium drink wasn’t 99% ice. Kinda disappointed tbh.

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!
Delicious. Got the 5 piece chicken tenders with potatoe wedges. It's definitely enough to feed two people. The only reason I gave it a four is because it is too salty for me. Comes with one biscuit that was literally the best biscuit I've eaten in a long time
