I asked one of the fella's that I'm working with this week where I could find some good fried chicken in these parts. Well, there's Kentucky Fried Chicken (hello... I'm in KENTUCKY. Although I've never had a KFC while in the K so maybe it's better?) And there's also Lee's. Now in California, when you go to a restaurant named Lee's, you'll usually end up with Chinese take-out. Down here, you get some fairly tasty fried chicken.
Lee's is a regional chain that's been around since the mid 1960's. They serve up a flavorful crunchy fried chicken (beats KFC in my book, at least CA-KFC), the mashed potatoes are good as well. The gravy is lighter in color and accentuated with black pepper grindings. The cole slaw is similar in appearance as KFC, but a little more on the sweet side. (pics are posted) They also serve up their famous recipe southern sweet tea here (also available by the gallon). I heard a few people going through the drive-thru ordering the gallons.
All in all, not too shabby. I'm full, don't feel overly greasy, and after typing this up, I'm probably ready to shower up and sleep it off. Tomorrow's Southern BBQ day so I gotta save my strength... lol... -

They screwed up my order and gave me green beans. That's normally not a problem because I'm a fan of them. Worst. Ever. It was even worse because I didn't order them.
Outside of that experience, I'm a big fan. Awesome chicken strips with honey mustard dipping sauce. The potato salad, mac n cheese, wedges, and mashed potatoes are all good sides. -

They have the best chicken strips around... much better than KFC.
The side choices aren't the best. The mashed potatoes and gravy are good, but nothing else is really worth it.
Also, don't always expect your order to be right. Check it before you leave! -

Where do I start? I've always been a huge fan of Lee's. The side dishes are ten times better than KFC, and are absolutely delicious. The sweet tea is legendary and I buy it by the gallon. They have a great selection of sauces and this location, which sits on the corner of Turfway Road and Burlington Pike, has all the great sauces on tap! Get an order of chicken livers, mac n' cheese, green beans and a biscuit and you'll be in heaven.

I'm from New York and this place KICKED ASS! it was like KFC if KFC used really good ingredients (instead of awful fast foody ingredients). I had the chicken livers cuz i never tried chicken liver before (my dad never gave ME chicken livers) and it was so good. The only issue was they gave me so much food i couldn't finish it all! (Next time i'll get one side dish instead of two). It was so good. Its nice to know that there are still places in America where you can be named "Lee" and still step up in 2008!
