    Chicken,fish and veggie egg roll! Delicious!
    Yvette F.

    Stopped by to get my daughter lunch and surprise her. Well I was surprised no fish or chicken. You greedy people lol. So, I asked the owner. I guess he's the owner he is always there. No fish or chicken nooo?! We both laughed bc he's pretty cool. He said no. He said maybe an hour or so. Well lunch for her will be over buddy. I said to self! I said I will be back in an hour or I will call. Off to Home Depot. She really doesn't like fish like that or chicken on the bone. So, if she doesn't want it. Ha ha I can eat it! JK. Ok Lee. 3 stars bc an hour to fry more chicken and fish hmmm .

    Apple fritter, chocolate old fashioned, chocolate yeasted, and a cinnamon swirl

    Superb donuts!! They're always super fresh (often still warm!). The selection of donuts changes slowly through out the day as they make different types, so it's really about getting whatever is fresh out of the fryer! They usually have a selection of yeasted and cake donuts, donut holes, plus some specialty donuts like apple fritters, cinnamon swirls, maple bars, and fruit tarts. If you want a cream-filled donut - just ask! They keep them refrigerated in back, and they are some of the best cream filled donuts I've ever had! Sometimes that have old fashioned donuts and blueberry cake donuts too! ...I haven't tried the savory food yet, but I've been tempted, it smells delicious, and I've been told by friends it's excellent cheap & greasy Chinese food! There are a few booth-style tables where you can sit to eat there. I appreciate the community vibe - I often end up having conversations with other customers in line or eating at the tables. The folks who work her are also very kind!

    Croissants..

    Went there because of the reviews .. the place is small and parking lot small but I was there for the donuts and croissants :) amazing soft fresh! The best I had in the area so far no dense fluffy not too sweet just perfect! The croissant sandwich with egg was just amazing !! Will go back for sure!

    Fried chicken
    Monica D.

    So were I work I always see the guys eating fried chicken for lunch and I found out that it was from Lee's Doughnuts. Apparently, they have quite the reputation. So here I go getting the fried chicken and doughnuts. Well, ooohhhh chile! The chicken was really good. It was fried crispy and seasoned delicately but well. Now the only downfall was they dont fry the chicken to order. It was pre-fried and sitting under the heat lamp. It was warm but not totally hot. That said, it was still very tasty. The doughnut was so hot and fresh, soft and delicious. It was a glazed doughtnut and as good as the best of them. If you are every looking for some fresh doughnuts and/or some hot chicken then this is for you.

    The Chicken Stick!
    Nobu K.

    Up date, about 5 hours after I ate the chicken stick today, I still can taste and smell of the chicken. ----------------------------------------------------------- BBQ Chicken Stick, 3 good sliced chicken meat on a skewer= $1.50 Meat ball Stick, 3 of 2 inch diameter meat balls on a skewer= $2.00 Both 8 inch skewer. FXXX, it's good shit. Both juicy and good. Tax included! I definitely can't become a vegan. Who cares for the donuts! Well, I do. And I had the donuts too. It was not too bad after the chicken stick. You just don't eat the donuts 1st. There is a small sign on the front window says Chinese food, chow mein, fried rice and egg roll. And donuts. Hey Mr. Lee, You are doin' the chicken right too! And the big juicy meat balls. Keep it up, dude! P.S. Please see Amelia P's review. and she is right, the chicken stick sold out very fast every day. I went there at 11:30 A.M!

    Donuts!

I love that you can choose the doneness of the patty. I went with medium, and it came out perfectly cooked. The bun was soft, buttery, and rich without feeling too greasy, and every ingredient seemed intentional and added something distinct to the burger. It is a very large burger, though, so be prepared for it to get a little messy. There is a restroom where you can wash your hands, but it requires a key, so bringing hand sanitizer or wet wipes may be helpful. Overall, the burgers are definitely on the pricier side, but I thought the quality justified it. I'd happily come back again.

What I don't understand is why I'm charged an additional $2.50 for the lettuce wrap when I'm not even getting the bun. If you're taking something away, what's the justification for adding an extra charge? I could understand a modest upcharge, but $2.50 for a few leaves of lettuce is hard to justify. I can buy an entire head of lettuce for about that price. What bothered me even more was that no one mentioned the charge when I placed my order. It wasn't until I picked up my food and saw the receipt that I realized I had been charged extra. Customers deserve to know about additional charges before they order, not after the fact. When I politely asked why there was a $2.50 charge, the employee simply looked at me and said, "I don't know." There was no explanation, no offer to ask someone else, and no attempt to address a perfectly reasonable question. That level of customer service was just as disappointing as the surprise charge. The burger was excellent, but this experience left a bad taste in my mouth. At this point, I don't plan on coming back. Or maybe I'll just bring my own lettuce next time. Better yet, just give me the burger without the bun, and I'll wrap the damn thing myself when I get home.

She was highly detail oriented, attentively tailored her support to my specific needs, and created an experience that left me feeling genuinely valued and appreciated. What stood out most was her consistent professionalism and positive demeanor she carried herself with a natural sense of pride and ownership in her work.

I rate Salma five stars for her strong work ethic, professionalism, and the seamless experience she provided. She is the type of team member who consistently exceeds expectations and represents the organization at its best.

There is…read moreno line, no anxious choreography of cars jockeying for position, no sense that one has arrived late to one's own life. The parking lot is clean in a way that feels intentional, as if someone cared enough to reset the space overnight. The sun reflects off the windows without accusation. You pull in and feel, briefly, that things might be in order. Inside, the employees smile, and not the trained, defensive smile of obligation, but the open kind that risks sincerity. Juanita greets me as though my arrival matters, asks how my morning is going so far, and waits for the answer. This alone feels almost excessive. Her delight is unguarded, and in it there is a quiet suggestion that work does not have to erase the person doing it. Conversation flows easily, a few seconds of shared presence that asks for nothing more than attention. The space itself hums with brightness. Not sterile, not overproduced, but clean and awake. Tables wiped, floors swept, the air carrying the faint promise of coffee and something savory. It feels like a place prepared for people, not merely for transactions. In a small way, this matters. Then there is the steak egg and cheese bagel sandwich, which deserves more reverence than it usually receives. It arrives warm, substantial, almost improbably generous. The bagel is soft but grounded, the steak rich without being aggressive, the egg folded neatly like a quiet affirmation. Melted cheese binds everything together with a patience that feels practiced. Eating it is not hurried. It invites attention. It rewards it. There is something quietly Eucharistic about the act, though no one announces it as such. Ordinary food, taken seriously, becomes more than fuel. It becomes a moment of gratitude disguised as breakfast. You sit, you eat, you are sustained. Nothing mystical is forced upon you, yet something is given. The sandwich does not transcend its ingredients, but it gathers them into something whole. This McDonald's does not pretend to be salvation. It offers something smaller and more attainable: a morning that works. A place where light fills the room, where people speak kindly, where food tastes like care rather than compromise. You leave unburdened, not because your problems have vanished, but because for a short while the world did not resist you. Driving away, the day feels possible. Not perfect. Possible. And sometimes that is more than enough.

Whenever I'm in search of something good to eat in the Bay Area I always check TikTok first. My search directed me to Southside Station! It's a small quaint establishment with a very quiet vibe. When I entered, there was a table of three gentlemen sitting there enjoying their selections. I checked in with them and got suggestions on what I should order. They made a recommendation, but I chose something totally different. I ordered the wings and garlic noodles with a side of brussels sprouts. This place is known for their fried chicken because it's so extra crunchy. They definitely did deliver on the crunch and the flavor. The garlic noodles were very garlic, which is what I liked, and the brussels sprouts were sautéed in a honey glaze. I decided to enjoy my food inside the restaurant as opposed to sitting outside where they have two tables set up. The young lady that took my order was ever so sweet and kind. She was the only one I saw in the restaurant behind the counter, but there may have been others working further in the back. There was an error on my order and she was quick to correct the error with an apology and a smile. The portion size was decent. I ended up taking home leftovers.

It's a great location to check out whether you're eating in or getting takeout / delivery. Being a chain, I was looking forward to seeing how the quality of the food compares. First, I tried the onion rings and these are perfectly crispy and well-seasoned. The coating is not thick and still light, which holds onto the onion very well. Next, I tried the hot spicy whole chicken - the half portion. For the price and value, I really enjoyed it! The chicken pieces are all evenly coated in the sauce, which has a balance of both sweetness with a light kick to it. The breading of the chicken is also airy and not heavy at all. Despite the chicken being drenched in the sauce, I did not find the texture to become soggy at all. One pro tip is that if you have leftovers, I recommend popping them into the air fryer so that they remain crispy. I was able to try the wings of fire, which I was really hyped about. I was fully expecting the wings to be on a 'burning' spice level, but I was able to handle it! If you do have a lower spice tolerance, I would recommend using caution if you're trying it but for the spicy food lovers, it's not as extreme as I thought it would be because the sauce was also sweet. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it! Although it is advertised as having 8 wings total, I actually got an extra one so shout out to the workers! This completely exceeded my expectations - as one person, I even had leftovers and was able to make the food stretch into multiple meals. I'm so glad I finally got to try bb.q Chicken and I highly recommend checking it out if you're craving Korean fried chicken!
