Came to Lee's for dinner with my son on an early Friday night in December. Pro-tip: this place gets popular full quick! It is popular, for all the right reasons, so take that into your planning. We were seated quickly because we arrived before 5:30! By the time we left there weren't many open seats. The waiter was great, well timed and very competent. Inside it was cozy and ready for the Christmas holiday's. Something possessed me so I ordered a margarita. Pretty good! I have crazy margarita standards and this one hit the mark. We also started with hushpuppies. Since I used to have a summer job where ALL I did was make hushpuppies at a fish fry shack, I can personally rate hushpuppies and these were outstanding. I'm a sucker for crabcakes. So, of course, I had to have a crabcake sandwic

Last night I ordered a two piece chicken in there. After 30 minutes, the waitress came out and told me because of their crummy Wi-Fi. My order didn’t go through and they had just Started it. After about 15 minutes more, my chicken arrived and the mashed potatoes were cold as well as the gravy, but I ate it anyway because by that time I was hungry, I Ate the skin off the chicken thigh, and then took the knife to cut into it. Blood gushed out. I had already eaten everything down to where the meat had started, but didn’t realize that it was wrong inside until I cut into it. And then ate the leg and left what was left of the thigh. The meat wouldn’t come off the bone anyway, because it was so undercooked today I’ve been sick all day. Be careful what you get from there. You’ll feel like I feel

GREAT good, chicken fried steak melted in your mouth. The gravy and onions, with mashed potatoes was outstanding. My wife and I had the fried green tomatoes and they are perfect. Any place that serves fried green tomatoes has to be great. Will definitely be making special trips for “date day” with my wife.

My family and I came to this restaurant after traveling for my son's basketball game. Since it was Valentine’s Day, I expected most restaurants to be at capacity. We arrived at 5:00 and signed a clipboard on the counter to join the waitlist, but there was no greeting or communication about the expected wait time. About 30 minutes later, we were seated. We ordered soup and appetizers—the oyster stew and cheese bites. The oyster stew was tasteless and, at best, room temperature. It was very watery and had little to no butter, so we sent it back. The server did not ask any questions when it was returned. The cheese bites were good, but for the price, the quantity was still very low. I remained hopeful that our meals would make up for the poor start. However, an hour passed and we still had

This is a hometown, locally owned restaurant. It's a diner vibe with friendly staff, fresh made, home-cooked favorites and fast service. Everything we ordered was fresh and tasty from fried Oysters, to turkey dinner, to chicken fried steak, to wings. Kids menu is great with fresh pizza. The dough is homemade. The special appetizer of Philly cheese steak egg rolls with a smoked hot pepper jam was fantastic! Now, let's talk about the pies! They are too much, in a good way! We tried 5 pies: keylime, coconut cream, lemon meringue, chocolate pecan and Reese peanut butter. Wow, wow, wow, they were all perfectly sweetened, beautifully decorated and soooooo fresh. The owner makes them fresh daily. We will be back!!!!!
