As someone who has been going to Lee’s on and off for over 60 years, today’s food was less than desirable to say the least. Onion rings were very greasy, my 2-piece “all white meat” chicken was extremely dry with no flavor. My baked potato must have been cooked days ago as dry as it was. My wife ordered chicken fried chicken and received chicken fried steak. After 10-15 minutes they returned with her correct meal so that she could then eat after I was done. At 3:30 in the afternoon they were not busy, however the service was slow and the food was nothing like it once was. This will be the last time we choose to eat at this once very good establishment.

As Meh as it gets. French fries were not hot. Chicken was room temperature and immediately slimed out of the batter coating when you picked it up...

I'm not 100% sure that truly was meat from a chicken, but I am 100% sure it hit the spot.

This restaurant was a really fun small town vibe experience. Dan was amazing on the organ all evening and would honestly come just for the cold beers and hear him play. The tastee was okay, nothing special. Same with all the food we ordered. My friend got the sour cream apple pie and liked it! Food takes about 35 min, so be patient. The best part of this place is the atmosphere honestly. Feels like a time capsule.

Our service sucked the food was good but we had a big group and when they separated the tickets and added the gratuity they over charged especially for the service we got the waitress wasn’t very friendly so was pretty

The atmosphere is strange. I felt as if I'm visiting a 1940s church that served beer. I'd advise stop playing the live piano. This just does not flow well with the atmosphere it should be. The pianist played music very depressing which made me want to leave while waiting for my food. Overall just a strange place.

Chicken tasted old, and the order was incorrect. It was take out, so we didn't realize until arriving home. $50 for 2 dinners and onion rings.
