What your looking at here is some pretty freaking amazing fried chicken!!! This was our first time in Springfield Ohio and our first (but not last) visit to Lee's. We just happened upon this hidden gem and decided to give it a try! Folks, it tastes as good as it looks! Much better than any KFC we have ever had and we highly recommend it! Follow us in YouTube under "Blue Line RV Adventures" as we travel America giving reviews and advice during our travels!

2 Piece Chicken

When you are craving fried chicken late in the evening and cruising old 70 near Springfield Ohio give lee's a try. The cheapest chicken joint East of the Mississippi. Nothing fancy that's for sure! But the biscuits are warm and tender' the chicken crispy and the gizzards and liver well seasoned. For eleven dollars and change for two you can't go wrong. In and out in a heart beat and back on the road. Give it try....bathrooms are clean and the staff are pleasant...what do you have to lose?

Gizzards meal
George E.

I eat at Lee's Famous Recipie every year when I visit Springfield OH. There are 3 in town. I think the one on S Limestone is best. I found the employees would talk to me when I talked to them. My order was out quickly. My gizzards were the best I've had in a while. Even better than the Home Ave location. My coleslaw was almost as good as KFC. The one thing I didnt particularly care for was the menu item they called barbeque baked beans. Had they been called pork n beans, I'd have no problem. Nut in my opinion they were neither barbeque or baked. Unless you count the trace of barbeque sauce.. Maybe they did bake them a min or two. At any rate they were not what I expected. I now know one item NEVER to order again.. The gizzards were cooked to perfection. They were battered just right. They were as tender as a gizzard could be. NOT tough as they are in lots of places There gizzard and coleslaw portions were good There wasn't as generous portion on the beans. Over all a pleasant dinning experience I'd reccomend them to anyone that appreciates good gizzards.

Wife and I went to Krazy Taco 937 tonight with already high hopes because of its great online…read morereviews. To say we were not disappointed is an understatement; we were stunned at how enjoyable the experience was. Everything.. EVERYTHING about this place is wonderful. Service was very attentive, friendly and helpful (and our waitress had only been working there 1 month.) The overall ambiance was stimulating and captivating. Stimulating because the music Powerhouse 60s hits from Ray Charles, Tom Jones, the Beatles and more was a *perfect* choice to enjoy yet not disrupt quiet conversation. Stimulating because the decor was so unique and interesting. And because just the vibe of everyone in there really enjoying themselves was palpable. What about the food you say? Every ingredient of all 4 different taco choices we made was wonderful; fresh, tasty and well prepared and presented. It's not very close to us but we are already excitedly figuring out when we can get back there - and I'm confident we are going to become regulars. It's a small place so going at peak meal hours might risk waiting. They have about 10 tables as well as another 8 or 10 stools at the bar. We did not drink so cannot review that aspect. We were told the place had come under new management in the last few months. As well as that place seemed to be functioning, we would never have guessed that. PS I didn't know until we ordered that they were giving free tacos to veterans, so that's a really cool mark on their patriotism and sense of community. PS 2 Small warning: The bench seats at the east (entrance) wall cut off circulation in my legs.

Got a seat at the bar and ordered a NA mojito and it was delicious, and also at only $5 I appreciated the price- sometimes NA drinks are as much as the full alcohol kind. Great attentive service and friendly chats with the employees. I went with the nachos which were SOOO good. Nachos are one of mh favorite foods, so I know good nachos- especially loved the pickled onions and that there were tons of toppings. My friend got two tacos with beef- can't remember the exact kinds but he enjoyed them. Such a great spot and will be back.

Yet tonight, my granddaughter and my husband thought Popeyes would be a nice change of pace. We typically steer clear of too much grease and battered foods like this but everyone needs to splurge once in a while! Well, it definitely was worth it! We live on the opposite side of town, but you can reach any destination in my town in about 10 min, no matter where you're at! I do think it's a deterrent to some people, who won't travel across town to do anything! Honestly, if they moved Popeyes's to the north side of town those lazy bums would flock to the restaurant! Which tells you how we felt about going there tonight. We planned on going inside to order, but a sign posted said that only the drive thru is available. We wanted to check out the menu without holding any cars up behind us. Luckily, it wasn't busy. We had a large order because my granddaughter asked if I'd get extra for tomorrow for lunch, so I expected our order to be inaccurate! Well, it wasn't, and it was all hot and fresh. The girl taking our order was very pleasant and helpful. I appreciated that since we aren't there often. Food was really good, service was great!

My sister had a veggie plate of double hash browns, green beans, and turnip greens. My mother had carrots and a baked potato. The green beans were straight from a can, zero cooking, zero seasoning, just heated up from the can. The mash potatoes were about the same... bland and no taste! The turnip greens were no better! My mom enjoyed her potato and the shrimp was just ok. If I'm ever back in Springfield, I'll skip this place! Unless you like uncooked, unseasoned food!

Tried to stop in for a quick meal on the way home. Failed. Because this is not fast food…read more They weren't particularly busy, but they were shortstaffed. The employees were working hard, and were friendly and professional, but just couldn't keep up. That's a management issue. We waited 20 minutes for our food (Happy Meal and chicken sandwich, nothing special.) I almost went up and asked how to cancel our order. Which brings up another issue: those damn kiosks. They really push them, and they suck. The touch screen was iffy. The menu is annoying. They keep pushing upgrades, some of which are ridiculous. E.g., the one that asked if I wanted to upgrade for 40 cents, and showed two pictures that looked exactly the same with zero explanation. Upgrade to what? Let's face it, I'm not a McDonald's fan anyway. The only reason I come is because we have a kid. Happy Meals are as addictive as heroin, apparently. I can always find something to eat, a burger or chicken sandwich, but I never come here willingly. When I come, it's to get something quickly. Didn't happen here. I got the deluxe chicken sandwich, and it was fine. Sustenance. Fries were lukewarm and had no salt, and the ONLY thing I kinda like at McDonald's is the fries, freshly cooked and salty. So, fail. Baby K liked her Happy Meal, and I do appreciate options like apple slices for her. We also got a limited time cheese Danish, and it was fine. Not great, but fine. They now offer an adult Happy Meal, and it is... nothing special and expensive. Pass. Maybe try one of the half-dozen other fast food places nearby. Some have burgers, and at least one has to be better than this place.

He then with fries and hand stomped back over to the counter and shoved it in my hands, and then proceeded to tell my husband I was a very rude person and told him that I grabbed it forcefully out of his hand. This cannot be farther from the truth... he says he prays for me. I think this is very disrespectful to my religion in my well-being and I think this is a very bad McDonald's experience I thought for getting paid for what they did which would be getting fries and handy to customers, they would be at least appreciate appreciative to be making money for the very little amount of work they do however, this is not true as it is shown with your fellow employee, Caleb... Caleb, you really disappointed me. You need to take some classes on how to be nice to people sincerely, Rhonda.
