My family was visiting from out of town and got into Richmond pretty late, so our dinner options…read morewere a little bit limited. Luckily Lee is open until 9 PM, and I have been meaning to try this place on the recommendation of many friends. When we got there, the drive-through line wrapped around the parking lot, when we walked in, the one inside was equally long. They were so busy that they had to pause orders for a little bit, but the major hold up was with the wings. The way the counter was incredibly nice and helpful. When we told her it was our first time, we ended up deciding to get the chicken tenders and the eight piece family meal. Because we opted to not get the wings since we were hungry, our food came out very quickly. They were kind enough to also include an extra piece in both! The size of the pieces were also very generous, and between the three of us, we had plenty of leftovers. The chicken itself was crispy and delicious, and I loved the wide variety of sauce options that they had. the potato wedges were also great, though I found the mac & cheese and green beans a little bit forgettable. The cashier had told us that the apples were one of her favorite signs, and they were definitely delicious! I would love to come back and try the wings, though I'll know in the future to not order quite as much!

I discovered Lee's about a decade ago when a coworker took me there for lunch, and the spicy…read morechicken had me in a chokehold from day one. The heat was perfect, the coating crispy, and the wedges were always on point. I couldn't come to Richmond without grabbing spicy wings. So when the owner decided to stop making the spicy wings and convert the fry station to breast strip fryers, that was it for me. That spicy recipe was the reason I came. Without it, this just isn't the same place. I won't be back unless the spicy chicken makes a return.

I love chicken and wanted to try something different, so I came here. Let me start by saying the…read morewall art is insane. Beautiful, bright and cool! They have their chicken in a sando version which is 2 chicken strips or the mega which is a huge chicken breast. Both come with cider slaw, pickles and hangry sauce on a brioche bun. Their bun is too small for the chicken portion, but it's not a deal breaker. Feels more like thank you for not making it into a slider. This combination of ingredients is what makes their sandwich so unique, but you can always opt to remove what you don't like. They also have on the menu different ways you can have chicken: chicken fingers, chicken wings, chicken and waffle, chicken salad, chicken wrap, loaded fries with chicken, and loaded Mac and cheese with chicken. I decided to get the regular chicken sando combo which comes with waffle fries and a drink. Don't skip out on their hangry sauce. You must try it! Overall, the food was good. It came in this neat little box that gave me KFC vibes. They also had a lot of drink options with pictures on the wall, you might want to check that out. There was only one guy in the front and another in the kitchen working, but it was a slow day. There are plenty of seats inside and parking in front of the place.

When we got home, the food was cold, soggy, one drink was missing, and the boba order was wrong. The staff member was nice, but the owner spoke to us disrespectfully and acted like we were lying until we brought the food back for "inspection." After checking everything, they admitted we were right, but we still had to wait again while they remade the order. Bad food and even worse customer service. We felt accused instead of helped.

The food was made to order, so it took a few extra minutes. But everything was fresh and hot when it came to the table. The fried items (fish and shrimp) were a little too salty for me... kinda took over the flavor of the seasoning. Everything else was tasty. However, the table favorite as the green beans w/turkey meat! This side item stole the show. Everyone was nice and attentive. I would definitely go here again.

Great music choices. The gentleman who took my order (maybe the owner too I'm not sure) was very nice and attentive. He gave me the run down on the menu and checked on me often. I got tenders, fries, cornbread, Mac and cheese and lemonade. Tenders were definitely my favorite part. Definitely quality chicken. Mac and cheese was cool, doesn't taste like anywhere else. I could go for more cheese. Fries were yummy. Cornbread wasn't for me. Lemonade had country time lemonade powder mix vibes. Definitely will be back to try out the wings.

Ended up ordering the Chicken and Waffles with a side of their honey mustard. The chicken was fresh, crispy and very juicy. The waffles were delicious, had a nice crisp exterior with a soft inside. My partner had the chicken sando box with curry hot sauce. The Chicken Sandwich was humongous! His chicken patty barely fit between the two buns. We joked how we could've shared since it was practically two sandwiches in one. The portions were really large for one person. The cashier was also very nice and we got to try a mochi donut along with our meals. Which had that fun chewy texture associated with mochi. I also ordered a fresh strawberry tea to enjoy with my meal which was delicious, perfect amount of sweetness and had a realistic strawberry flavor. This place has a decent sized seating area and is pretty easy to access via street parking. It's a great spot to fulfill your craving for chicken and to satisfy a sweet tooth.

It wasn't as seasoned as I expected it to be for a soul food restaurant. The Mac and cheese was about a 6 and the greens weren't very flavorful so we have them a 5. The candied yams were really good. Very tender and not too sweet. Our server wasn't the most personable, but he got the job done. The music was great! Parking was easy on a Sunday evening. I do recommend this place, but just be prepared to use the tartar sauce for your fish if you want a little razzle dazzle.

Vibes - our waitress was kind and quick but this restaurant isn't the place to come if you value aesthetics. Food - we were a bit disappointed but I think we were just under the wrong impression about what the food would be like. The sign outside says bbq, wings and beer so we were expecting a very different menu. This place seems to serve more Asian fusion. That said the wings had a really great texture that we enjoyed! There are A LOT of sauces to choose from and it's difficult to know what they'll taste like. We spent 30+ on 12 wings so definitely pricey. In the end, we left underwhelmed BUT it might have been our expectations that were off.

Bb.q chicken Cary street…read more6pm Saturday Not busy at all for a dine in option. Only 3 tables had customers. I ordered the soy garlic wings, bone in. I really wanted to try the kimchi fried rice, but that comes in a pretty big serving and they didn't have that as a side option. So I ordered white rice. The waiter said he's gonna ask if I can get a side of kimchi because that's also not an option as a side order. It's a no go for a side of kimchi. They said it's a different kind of kimchi they use for the rice dishes. Oh well, maybe I can suggest that be an option in the future. Someone told me that this place was better than Bonchon so I'm gonna compare the two. It's definitely a friendly, family atmosphere. Plenty of options on the menu. Outside dining as well as inside. Appears to be very clean. Rice - mushy not how I like it. it has a hint of something it's not regular white rice. But it's also not Jasmine because I like Jasmine rice. Interesting. I definitely expected better rice. Not rice pudding. I didn't know the wings came with French fries but they were bland. Not even any salt. Chicken- they only gave me 2 flats and 6 little drumsticks. Ok, it's a little spicy which was also unexpected. I really don't care for them at all. The waiter was nice and checked on me a few times. I wasn't offered any ranch or blue cheese or any other kind of dip for that matter. I asked if they had buttermilk ranch, they did not, just regular ranch. No offering of wetnaps either. I had to pour some water on a napkin to wipe my hands. Since I said I'm comparing, I'm gonna have to give it to Bonchon for the better wings, the better taste of the soy garlic, and the rice. Sorry bb.q I'm disappointed.

I order the same thing for the most part every time because it never lets me down. The four fingers is just enough to satisfy my craving!! Thick, juicy strips of chicken, perfectly breaded and super hot!!! I love the fact that your order is cooked after you order. The fries, the fries, the fries, the seasoning they put on the fries will have you thinking you are going crazy because it tastes just that good!! Dip them in barbecue sauce (.25 extra each) and you are on your way to tastyville!! The meal comes with coleslaw which is a hard pass for me but it smells good. The piece of Texas toast will send your cholesterol into overdrive as it is toasted and super buttery and down right freakin delicious!!! One bite and I promise you'll be hooked, like lips greasy hooked! Staff was friendly and the service was good! The inside is well maintained and had a welcoming feel to it. My only qualm is that the Coca Cola machine was out of the Peach Citrus drinky that is seasonal which I was kinda looking forward to lol.
