Overall, I can't recommend this as a "must do" spot for chicken and its sides are a let down. The chicken was crispy on the outer layer and while not dry, not moist either. Maybe it had been sitting for a bit? It did have a kick to it, a bit more than I remember compared to previous orders. Fries are bad. Seasoned? Not so much - but crispy and thicker like being at a school concession stand. The slaw was creamy and watery, so if you're into vinegar style this isn't the option for you. The sides are small and my husband was vocal about the cost after seeing the tiny container. If you visit and dine in, it's a super casual atmosphere with an open floor of tables. Parking is an available in front of and around the restaurant.

We absolutely HAD to try Royals Hot Chicken!…read more We got the #1, and let me tell you--the chicken was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly! I tried both the Carolina sauce and the Kentucky sauce, and I honestly enjoyed getting to try both and see the difference. The service was quick and easy, which is always a plus! The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming, and I really liked the overall vibe. The artwork/decor was definitely a little darker and edgier than most , but nothing bad at all--it actually gave the place some personality!

This was really tasty. Overall, fun place. Good food.

Newly opened restaurant in Jtown, close to the center of the square and across the from Recbar…read more First thing to know - they have chicken and salad with chicken, but they do not have burgers. Their burgers are "chicken" burgers or veggie. The promotion of burgers is confusing and a little disappointing. Chicken tender combos come with fries, one side and drink. The chicken burger was also tenders but tossed on a bun with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and mayo. Several sauces are offered for dipping your chicken. The combo #1 was a good value. The tenders were hot and had enough peppering to make the flavor interesting. We enjoyed the fries, which reminded us of eating at school ballparks. Sides are small but offer a few bites and I liked the slaw (although it looked different than the menu image). My husband shared the green beans were peppery. My Fanta lacked flavor. The chicken burger was enjoyed by my son but since he didn't really want the toppings, he basically had the same meal as my combo #1 for more money and without the side. Service was helpful and polite. We appreciated them checking on us and being willing to offer recommendations. They have plenty of parking in a private lot and several tables inside. Cute decor. When walking in, the space didn't smell great -- likely a plumbing issue because it otherwise appeared very clean and organized. Drive thru also available. I'd come back for a quick bite of chicken tenders or pick up, but the ambience doesn't quite hit for it being at the top of our family hang out.

I was in western Washington for the past four years, and MISSED the Midwest food! Lee's is a STAPLE! This location was a bit odd. The seating is located around the back of the restaurant. It's pretty quaint, but confusing. I ordered the gizzards and livers. They were done well, but the corn on the cob was WAY OVERCOOKED! It was inedible as best. I tossed it out and ate what was left. It's pretty hard to mess up Cole slaw, so that was on point. The livers could have been breaded a bit more, but it's whatever. I would like to come back and give it another go around.

We got dessert... a 20 count of churros, 10 cinnamon and sugar and 10 Oreo. When they brought them out they had given us 20 Oreo churros. They quickly tried to make it right by giving us 10 cinnamon and sugar churros. But when they brought those ones they had no cinnamon and sugar on them. Lol So when I told the people at the front they again tried to make it right. Which at this point it was kind of comical. Gotie ended up bringing us 20 fresh and incredibly yummy cinnamon and sugar churros. They were definitely worth the wait and were amazing! Just like Gotie! He was definitely the GOAT! We also got banana pudding, it was good but would have been better with actual bananas in it.

You order at the counter, the service was good and the person who took our order was very efficient. We were provided a number and grabbed a nearby table.

We ordered the 2 piece tenders meal with sweet and spicy sauce, not sure why there is an up-charge on the sauce but there is, 3 piece tenders and 8 piece chicken nuggets. We all got meals which came with a side and drink. Everyone ordered the fries, but I got the kale salad. They have lemonade and iced tea along with regular fountain drinks. We only waited about 8-10 minutes for our food! The kids loved the tenders and nuggets and the fries were shoestring skinny fries, delicious. I was a bit disappointed with the kale salad, the portion was very small and it was okay. Overall kids loved their chicken - total cost was $54.

We opted for water and the water cups are very small, so if you like your chicken hot then you might want to order a larger drink. I am, however, a spice wimp, so we ordered mild. The cheese stick, sliders, and tenders were good. Mild spice was perfect for me. The Dave's bites were okay but I would have preferred another tender instead. As for sauces, the Dave's sauce was my favorite, with ranch being second. If you don't like spice stay away from the spicy buffalo! It was really spicy. The total for our meal with tax and gratuity was about $34, a bit on the pricy side. I would, however, give Dave's another try if I had a craving for hot chicken.

But we walked away disappointed…read morebecause of a major service lapse, curious food seasonings and discrepancies between menu descriptions and actual dishes. We arrived mid-afternoon on a Friday. We had a choice between sitting inside or being seated at a picnic table on the covered deck. We were assigned a high-top table in the dining area past the bar, where a few guys were watching a soccer match. The brine-soaked fried chicken is Eagle's specialty, so we ordered it. I thought the chicken was good,. So per the menu for the three-piece fried chicken meal, you can only order either all white meat or all dark meat. Interestingly, the two people at our table that ordered white meat still got a drumstick with their meat. The last I checked, drumsticks were considered dark meat. For an appetizer, we ordered the hush puppies. They had a nice crunchy texture but were very spicy hot. We also ordered the spoonbread. This was my favorite dish of the day. It was served warm, had a great texture and a light maple flavor. With our meals, we could get two sides. We requested the collard greens, green beans, fries, grits and mac & cheese. Only the mac & cheese was good. The collard greens were way salty and the green beans had odd and unexpected seasonings. Our dining companion was put out, and understandably so, that the menu said the grits came with white cheddar cheese. But instead, though the grits maybe had cheese, they were also loaded with loads of diced jalapeno. They were so over the top spicy, none of us could eat the grits. The fries were strongly seasoned with oregano. WTF? Our entrees came with biscuits. The biscuits were tasty, but unfortunately, because they contained too much shortening, fell apart when buttering them. And that leads up to the service lapse. After we received our check, our server completely disappeared. We waited a half hour for her to re-appear, gave up and asked another server to cash us out. He disappeared and we waited some more. Finally the red-headed server re-appeared and breezily explained she had been out on the deck the whole time. No apology or anything.
