if you are in or near Stafford, KY then this is a must stop. Great ambiance smell of home cooking and fresh fried chicken. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. I had the chicken strip sandwich and have to say it was one of the best I have had. There is something there for everyone just like a outdoor picnic.

We called Lee’s famous recipe in Stanford for special order And Tia was absolutely amazing. She was wonderful, so friendly, so helpful and smiling. Never seen a drive-through Customer Service like her. Tia is wonderful.

Absolutely love the chicken strips . We recently moved to Alabama but my family is still in Kentucky so when we visit I always come to Lee's Famous Recipe for my favorite chicken. Although Alabama has a lot of chicken places none can compare to Lee's.

I’ve always preferred Lee’s chicken to any other chicken chain restaurant. It’s tender and juicy. Recently, I discovered that they also serve fish dinners. I have to say they have the best fish around anywhere. It’s breaded instead of batter dipped which I had always preferred until I ate the fish at Lee’s. It’s so good in fact, that I generally get two to three fish meals a week there now. If you love fish but have the greasiness of other’s battered dip fish that lingers with you for days...Definitely try a fish dinner from Lee’s Famous Recipe! 5 They also have the best sweet tea by far!
