Yes I absolutely recommend!!! The oven-roasted chicken is the bees knees! It's probably the best drive through chicken I've ever had. It's everything I hope for in chicken - delicious - juicy, hot, & nicely seasoned. Skip the mac and cheese... it's not anything to write home about. And it's a bummer that they have potato wedges instead of fries, but even those are nicely seasoned. My husband loved them! And I have to say, the biscuits and baked cinnamon apples are absolutely out of this world! We were a little surprised that our box meals didn't come with a drink, but we're not soda drinkers anyway, so that wasn't a big deal. Fortunately, there's a Starbucks next door! Any time we drive through Rolla now, we make sure to work it in as a stop. read more

The food was good, but nothing special. I got the 3 piece snack. The food came out quickly. The chicken was a bit salty, but probably to be expected given it is fast food fried chicken. Every meal and snack comes with a biscuit. It too was salty and likely very high in calories. The staff was patient. It was a bit more expensive than I think it should be given what you are getting. When looking for chicken quickly, it is a good stop, just don't walk in with high expectations. read more

I ordered food via the drive-thru close to closing time, so I definitely took that into consideration pertaining to my experience. I ordered a combo chicken meal with two sides, but there were a few missed steps with my meal. A computer/AI takes your order at the drive-thru, which the instructions were concise, but I encountered an issue because two of the sides I ordered were not available, and the computer did not tell me sides were not available. I found this out at the drive-thru window. The flavor of the chicken and sides were good, except the biscuit was so hard I couldn't bite into it. Also, I wasn't given any to go utensils, which was issue because I was traveling. The staff were friendly, and the food was good except for the biscuit. The drive-thru computer just needs to be more concise on what items are available, and the biscuit was not edible. read more

Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken - Chicken Wings Near Me - Rolla, Missouri

First time customer: 3.5 review We purchased a 3 piece chicken strip meal (only received 2) w wedge fries and slaw and a snack gizzard as well as a 2 piece spicy chicken strip. So, let's break it all down: 1) the gizzards breading was soggy and salty and the gizzards themselves were too chewy; 2) the 2 spicy chicken strips were good and tender and the breading crisp; 3) the 3 piece (rcvd 2) breading was too salty yet the chicken was good; 4) the wedge fries were not crisp but were very soft and just ok; and 5) the slaw was good. Hard to say if we'd be back but maybe to see if they can redeem themselves. It isn't my first option. read more

My sister took us where while we were visiting from TX. The staff here are AMAZING!!! So friendly and helpful. They brought our order to the table for us while my sister got the kids situated. She then helped me fill our water cups and also brought them over for me. The food was good. We got 12pc chicken strips meal which came with 3 sides and biscuits. Our sides were potato wedges, mashed potatoes with gravy and coleslaw. The chicken was good. The slaw and the mashed potatoes & gravy were good as well. The wedges had a tasty seasoning on them but they were completely soft and soggy. (Would have been better hot and crispy). Price was a little steep... $30.99 for the 12-piece meal. $33 and change with tax. Maybe because we don't eat out much... had a little bit of "sticker shock." read more

My wife bought me Lee's lunch and I was eating the green beans and they have put a piece of stick into my green beans.

See all

Decided to finally try this place after seeing the restaurants all over St. Louis. I asked Missouri natives and all gave mixed reviews so here is mine. Chicken was good but not great and the side dishes were the usual carb choices. Nothing really stood out to me. The price was excellent so there's that but not much else to rave about here. Try it out if your feeling spontaneous. Enjoy! read more

Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken - 3 piece meal. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Rolla, Missouri

The food is excellent. The only thing is that the fountain drinks are bland and taste very watered down, even without ice. They need to adjust the soda mix. Other than this, I highly recommend Lee's Chicken. read more

Today we were there for lunch The staff was talking about another restaurant that serves chicken and made the comment about how it will make black people happy. I was appalled. The wedges were soggy as a sponge and the biscuits were over cooked read more

We just went tonight to order a box of their roasted chicken, but were told they're no longer offering it. It was the only thing we could eat there as we follow a ketogenic diet. Sorry to say you've lost a customer. read more

Our most stop place as we are road tripping from SGF to STL. I love the Spicy chicken and my wife always gets the chicken guts

Horrible rude management!! We pulled into lot when restaurant was closed because we were having issues with our camper brakes and wanted to get to back road. His truck was parked across the restaurant access to the back street. He rudely refused to move it saying his restaurant was not a pass thru. Believe me we were not trying to take a short cut. Jason fisher was his name and his rudeness has insured that we will never stop at any Lees again. Enter at your own risk read more

Best fried chicken in the Rolla/Saint Robert area. I can't comment on the inside, I went through the drive thru. I ordered 4pc all breast chicken meal, with mashed potatoes and gravy, coleslaw and a sweet tea. The spicy chicken was fresh and very juicy. The biscuit that came with the meal was also fresh and hot. I had to split it open to cool so I could eat it. I would even drive 100 miles for their chicken before going somewhere else. read more

While heading to St Louis we saw a big billboard add for Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken off the I-44. We had to stop for gas so we figured we'd give this place a try. There was only 9 Yelp reviews with a mixture of good and not so good ones. I am a picky eater but sometimes I will give a place the benefit of the doubt regardless of the reviews. Today was one of those days. I was neither impressed or disappointed. I could see or should I say smell what one of the Yelpers meant by the strong aroma as soon as you walk in. In my opinion this is not bad just an acquired smell. It's a fried chicken place so naturally it will smell as such. The service was good, nothing extraordinary. The chicken ok, again nothing amazing. I wouldn't say it's a must visit on your way but if you happen to be around the area and stop for gas and just happen to be in the mood for fried chicken then this is your spot. read more

Stopped by for a two piece meal with wedges and green beans. Got charged for two breasts, but was given a wing and breast. Wedges were overcooked. Green beans tasted like they tweet straight out of the can. Only thing that gives them their 3rd star was that the crispy chicken was cooked well. I am very disappointed in my meal. read more

For years I was a customer of Lee's Famous Recipe Fried Chicken on Skinker in St. Louis. Lee's always had great fried chicken but I was particularly drawn to their fried gizzards which have increasingly become tough to get in other fried chicken venues. Some years ago I discovered the Lee's store in Rolla, MO and have tried to time trips on I-44 to enable me to stop in Rolla at mealtime. Since moving to Texas I have missed Lee's gizzards and when visiting Waynesville to celebrate my wife's aunt's 100th birthday, I made a special trip over to Rolla to indulge in one of my favorite meals. Alas, I'm sorry to report today's gizzards were soggy and not the crispy ones I remember. Hopefully this is unusual. read more

Ok, their spicy chicken is yummy. I was not too happy when the chicken pieces got smaller, now the sides went the same way. I got red beans and rice, I got five fork fulls.... That is a joke. Won't be back much, won't get sides if I do. read more

Nothing short of fantastic!!! They catered a birthday for us, the food arrive hot, the service was stellar, and the guests were thrilled by the best fried chicken and green beans they've ever had!!! Thank you Lee's Chicken!! read more

Lee's has been a family favorite for as long as I can remember. Their chicken is always delicious and I'd say their prices are pretty fair. You can come and get a big family dinner or just a small meal for one or two people. They have great side choices and the employees are most always bright and cheerful. I love coming here! read more

Just ordered take out chicken breast and potato wedge. Got home and chicken was soggy and cold. The potato wedges were also soggy and cold. Why can't restaurants take pride in their food anymore. Will not go here again read more

First thing that hits you is the smell of thick old geese. I ordered the two piece spicy fried chicken meal with the red rice and beans and mashed potatoes and gravy. The chicken was not even close to spicy, let alone any good flavor. It tasted odd and made me disappointment I spent the spent the money... as they are not cheap. My red beans and rice were so horrible that when offered it to my dog she turned away. I threw it ALL away! I l've begun to realize they only stay open because of the original people of the town who've never gone anywhere far outside their town and don't know any better. DO NOT EAT HERE.... YOU WILL GET SICK! read more

Great food. Best chicken in Rolla for sure. Everyone is very friendly and pleasant too.

A bit pricy, but great for lunch with their $5 meal deals. Tasty and always a clean place. They recently expanded and their additional seating is a better atmosphere. Did have less cole slaw than should have been in the dish. But friendly workers. The hand sanitizer on the tables is the nicest gesture ever. read more

This is the greatest place to eat in Rolla MO. Friendly good looking people and most amazing chicken I have treated.

Dirty. I was so distracted by the filth that I dont know if I have a proper opinion on the chicken. BUT I do know that it made me feel horrible on the ride home. read more

Very good food. It does not matter what you order, the food will not disappoint. The price is a little steep but it is very much worth it. A good place to eat if you are driving down the interstate or in Rolla for college. When ordered food is ready quickly and the staff are very polite. read more

We are new to Rolla and gave Lees a shot our first weekend here. The service was lightning fast, we didnt even have our drinks filled and they brought our order to our table. The food was AMAZING ! I don't think I have had fried chicken that good (other than my husbands) since I left Georgia. Great seasoning on the chicken, sides were good as well. We have been back to eat again already ! Super Yummy! read more

Excellent value and quality chicken during the 11-3 lunch special. Good mashed potatoes, but the macaroni and cheese is only average.

Manager was the worst I will never spend a dime there. Potato slices were grey letting you know they weren't in the fridge makes me wonder if food is safe manager sent CSR to chase me for 50 cents for extra sauce he ended up loosin the whole transaction and got a finger right to the face what a total looser running a failure of a restaurant eat elsewhere don't spend no money there read more

My daughter is a GRAD student at MST and her mother had visit from LOUISIANA. We been told about this place: NOT very impressed. We ENJOY CHICKEN EXPRESS in Texarkana!!!! read more

Excellent chicken and sides. Chicken is not greasy. It was a little spicy and delicious! We had cole slaw, potato salad, beans. All the sides have a little cayenne kick. A very nice place to eat fast chicken. We'll stop again on our travels. read more

Went there for the first time and had the spicy & famous recipe chicken, red beans & rice and mashed potatoes.... I'm in LOVE with the chicken and biscuits. I wasn't so crazy over the style of red beans & rice but my family enjoyed it. But the chicken took me by surprise because it was soooo good. Will be back again. read more

Gluten free chicken was amazing and moist. The service was excellent. Its very nice for a local business. It was very busy but we still received our meal before our deinks were filled. Yum read more

Always clean. Staff always friendly. Great choices for chicken and sides. They even have hand sanitizer at each table!

Everytime when I passed their store, I just can't help right turn my car and get a box of fried chicken.

Far better than KFC. Much bigger pieces , more side choices, better prices and the staff is super.

I would have left 4 stars because I really like the food, but twice now have gotten sick from the Pot Pies. Both my wife and I are sick and it is the only thing we ate, so I have to chalk it up to food poisoning from here. As this isn't the first time, I have to post something, as while I really want to get another pot pie in the future, the current round of antibiotics disagree. read more
