    Holy cow! This place is amazing! After stopping at the dirty truck stop by the highway, we decided to drive 20 minutes out of our way to eat here. SO glad that I did. Firstly, it's a local mom and pop place, which I always enjoy experiencing. Secondly, the food is absolutely amazing. We stopped on day 11 of a 12 day road trip, so I've had my fair share of mom and pop restaurants to compare this to. In 11 days, this is the best food I've had- including the very expensive splurge dinners. Everything send homemade (soup, salad dressing, everything!). Thirdly, the server misunderstood what I ordered (super minor- I didn't even realize my omelette didn't have veggies until I was done eating) and they comped part of my meal even though I want upset, I just wanted to be sure I didn't get charged for the veggies. The only downside is cost. It's $3 extra for hash browns with an omelette and the omelettes are a bit pricey as well! However, they were so good that it didn't matter!

    Had to eat it twice to form my opinion that they have some of the best homemade corned beef hash I’ve ever had. Very friendly staff in a nice atmosphere.

    Old school diner vibe. Very outdated inside but that gives it the charm! Very good food, little $$ for the area but it was a good food stop on our travels. Our waitress was so friendly & kind. Was not busy at all when we stopped in. I ordered the chicken fried steak that had to of been the most tender and delicious chicken fried steak I have eaten. I like them but half the time the breading is too much this one was perfect! My husband got the steak with bacon onions and mushrooms and liked it! Would go back next time we are in town and try a slice of homemade pie.

    While we were there we watched a gentleman pay for for an elderly couples meal. And when we got up to pay (3 adult women and 3 kids) we found that the couple then paid for our meal. So we chose to pay for the only family left in the restaurant (because it was already 30 min past close and we were still there, without complaint from a single employee). Staff was the nicest kindest people I’ve met.

    One of my favorite places in town! CFS Is always spot on and so much great food to choose from. My favorite part of eating at Lee's is getting a chance to chat with Mary, she is such a gem...so fun to talk to and is always so glad to see us. 🥰

    It was decent, although a little slow in service from both staff and kitchen. The food itself was decent, though it's more of a upscaled Waffle House, as much as anything. It's "Mel's Diner" meets "IHOP". The do serve breakfast all day and the menu was pretty impressive for a mom and pop's venue. The salad bar was clean and fresh, however, and though smaller in person than in pictures, was decent. I would go back, but I wouldn't go out of the way.

    This was the perfect place to stop and have a fantastic chicken fried steak on the way through town. I love the atmosphere and the friendly faces that were here to greet us. Wonderful.

    Great food. Had lunch, but definitely need to try breakfast. Salad bar was perfect. My glass of water was topped off about 3 times. The water even tasted amazing. Definitely going back.

    So happy to support family owned places. One of the owners talked with us as if we were her family. Food was great, price very reasonable. A forsure stop when we travel back through there...

    We love trips to lee's. They are loyal to us as customers and we stop in when we're on the road for a bite with our 2 service animals, they are always welcoming. Excellent service and fresh, home made meals every time.

    Always a welcoming home town feel restaurant with fresh, homemade food made quickly and served with a friendly staff. The salad bar offers great salads and side dishes with a variety of soups to add with it. The pie rack is always full of your favorite old fashioned pies with meringues as high as the sky. Always a favorite spot for breakfast served any time of day or night and the menu has something for everyone. A great family owned local place to get hearty meals at any time of day!

    A must stop restaurant, my husband ordered the wrangler cheeseburger, salad bar with fries. I ordered the Ruben, salad bar, with fries. The salad bar was multiple trip allowed and had a nice assortment to be able to make yourself a salad your preferred way. The BBQ sauce that came with my husband's cheeseburger is house made and really good. My Ruben was great, the meat that was used was so tender it was delicious. We saved space for their truly made in house pies. If you're looking for an old fashioned coconut creme pie this is the spot to find it. The staff was friendly and did a great job. Thank you for a great after surgery meal and restaurant experience.

    I hate to be negative because the people were so nice, but my fried pork cutlet sandwich had two very deep thumb shaped imprints in the hoagie roll, and my wife thought the franks red hot chicken sandwich had an off taste (old fryer oil). The prices also seemed a little high for this type of place, but it looks like they employ a lot of people and I applaud them for that.

    The sign says it all. 49 years in business. Quality home cooking. Nothing fancy, very good food. We had breakfast for dinner. Did not walk away hungry.

  • 5/5 Ann W. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food!! Love that they have been open 50 years. There's not too many sit down family restaurants around anymore where you can get a awesome home cooked meal.

  • 5/5 Tyanne J. 2 years ago on Google
    Super neat place! There is something for everyone on the menu. I am glad to find a salad bar open this day and age. Perfect blue cheese dressing for my salad! The mashed potato side with gravy was amazing. I am also happy they serve breakfast all day.
