    Received a gift card from a colleague and stopped by this location to use it. Was told the gift card was not funded. However, there was no way to check balance. So, their system needs to be thought out more. Ordered a two piece Jack salmon meal with two sides: greens and green beans. The green beans were lukewarm and had very little seasoning. The greens were okay. The fish was very flavorful.

    Lunch. FYI there is a little charge for sauce.

    Well, no this is not diet food. But it was NOT greasy!!! I stopped here because I am on the hunt for the best fried chicken in Lexington. I ordered the three chicken strips with one side and a dinner roll. The dinner roll was just a dinner roll, not bad, but not spectacular as far as dinner rolls go. My side was mashed potatoes and gravy. Good. Two plain strips and one spicy. Go ahead and order spicy, it is not too hot. The plain was good, but I felt like it might need a little salt although I don't need more salt in my diet. . Anyway, the entire meal was pretty yum!!!! I will come here again! The chicken was fried perfectly. ( not sure if they soak it in buttermilk, it could have been a touch more tender. ). Still, this chicken is delicious enough to keep you thinking about it and coming back for more!!! So , YES, five stars!!!

    We bought the chicken 10 piece box again and tried this location. This location seemed closer to our house. We enjoyed it just as much as our chicken from their other location. We ordered the pieces all on the originals recipe and everyone enjoyed it!

    We witnessed the staff being loud and rude to a customer and left to give our business to another restaurant.

    One of the best chicken spots in Lexington! Definitely get a 10 piece and some sides - you will eat all of it!

    Is Richie's fast food a franchise or a local business? I'm interested to open new Richies, so wanted to know what will be my procedure for that. thank you.

    Pretty sure it's local. All I know is it's phenomenal.

    When I was a student at UK, this was the place for students. They have many good alternatives and…read morethey are offered until late, including burgers, loaded fries, and breakfast favorites. I always get the Mega HO Burger, which is a 3/4 lb Triple Burger with all the dressings. All their burgers are made with fresh daily ground beef. My second favorite is the Philly Steak Sandwich, with swiss, mushrooms, peppers oniongs, lettuce sna dhte house sauce. My wife always got the special fried chicken sandwich, which comes with hanarneo cheese, jalapenos, lettuce, tommatoe and mayo. We either get the crinkle-cut fries or the tots as sides. In addition to being roomy and tidy, the interior had several vintage games. This place is excellent for both big and small parties (particularly after a late night). The service has always been friendly and timely. Overall the prices were a little too pricey for a place like this on a college student's budget but the food was delicious and the amounts were substantial. I would still suggest it and will probably come back. There is a rumor, however, that this place may be closing in the near future.

    Fantastic grub spot…read more Solid options ranging from breakfast staples to burgers and loaded fries, all available into the late hours. The interior was clean, spacious, and even had some classic games. Great for groups large or small (especially after a late night). Service was friendly and prompt. Food tasted great and portions were quite generous, though prices were a tad on the higher end for a spot like this. Would still recommend and will likely be returning.
