Chicken Restaurants near East Saint Louis

“We had such a great experience at Hodaks and will definitely be back! Our food was great. The service was quick and very friendly. We had two babies with us and multiple staff stopped to wave at them and make silly faces making us feel very welcome. The restaurant, including the bathroom, was spotless. Highly recommend!“

“I had the Box Combo. It was my first time there but multiple people have recommended them. I found the chicken a bit underseasoned. Didn't care for the sauce. Fries were just okay and coleslaw was not for me. The Texas toast was delicious, though!The price was right, and I enjoyed the restaurant's setup. The music choices were great (high-energy pop), but the music was pretty loud. I enjoyed it while eating alone but would have had to strain to hear over it.It's not my first choice but I'd eat here again.“

“This is one of my favorite places when I need some food but for some reason the fish and shrimp was good but I think that it could have cooked just a little more I don't know is it for the food sitting in the plates for so long and the French fries was over cooked plus you don't get as many as you used too will I good “

“This is for the Washington Park, IL store # 1031. Had a bad experience 45 min earlier at the Belleville location, was able to call this location and the manager Monica answered the phone immediately! I explained the situation, having come up from Florida, and the main food I wanted was Churches, and the bad experience with the Belleville store. She took my large order, said she would get right on it, and off my brother in law went to make the 20 min drive. It was not ready when he got there, so they were making it all fresh! He said all staff was nice, Monica packed it herself, and the 20 min drive home started. I have to say, EVERYTHING was still hot, fresh, and delicious! What a difference with Monica running that location. After stuffing ourselves, I called her again to tell her how she made my evening, and what great service. I will be talking to corporate headquarters this week, and going as far up the chain as I can to praise Monica and her Washington Park IL location, and also to report the terrible location in Belleville store #617.Great job Monica and staff!“

“I love Lee's chicken! Its always my go to when I need something quick for lunch when I'm out running around. They always have a good special on their chicken, and even if they don't, their prices are pretty reasonable ?. The staff is always pleasant and friendly. I can't say that for all the chicken places that I visit. The chicken is always fresh and they have a great variety of side items.“

“I was driving down West Florissant and needed to get gas and use the restroom, stopped at 2 gas stations, and neither one had a public restroom available. So I went to Lee's, and theirs was a lifesaver!!!The restroom was clean and smelled fresh!! I made a purchase and the food was hot and delicious!! The cashier stopped his stocking and immediately waited on us. Thank You!!!!“

“Very small place but very busy I ordered chicken strips and shrimp and the shrimp was good but the chicken was alil dry and it was my first time eating there but my food was ready in tens mins like. She said and it was editable I’d try it again sometime maybeParking: It’s a small lot that’s super busy !“

“Very happy with the food and the value! I ordered DoorDash delivery from this place because it was significantly less expensive than others and recent reviews looked decent enough to risk it. For a 10 piece legs/thighs with fries it was only $12.99 ($19 total with taxes and DD delivery tip). It came in a 9x13 pan with perforated foil over it to keep it from getting too soggy during delivery. It was still hot and crispy. They sent hot sauce and ketchup packets in the bag.You can actually see their spice mix on the chicken and fries. It's a nice, mild garlic-y mix. Not very spicy. I love salt, so I was fine with the sodium level, but it would be pretty high for anyone with health considerations. (You might be able to request it without the extra spice mix on top though?) The seasoning profile is different, but I’d say the salt level of the breading was similar to KFC’s.Food tasted fresh. Chicken wasn’t dry. Leftovers reheated well in the air fryer. A couple of the leg and thigh pieces were on the smaller side, but I had zero problem with that given the price. Just a consideration if you’re feeding kids (or adults) who will squabble over who gets the biggest pieces. It looks like they have a drive through window for easy pickup orders. I haven't tried them yet, but I'm excited they have things like gyros and salads too. All their prices look very reasonable. I live right next to a KFC, but their food quality and order accuracy have been horrible and Popeyes has been hit or miss lately too. I highly suggest skipping the big chains and checking this place out. It may be my new go-to place for comfort food!“

“I've never gone to Lee's fried chicken and received a bad meal before.I was just out done. The chicken was very dark, and I couldn't tell that the oil needed to be changed . The flour needed changing also. There were clumps of breading on the chicken. And in the box.If I did not live so far away , I would have returned it. We managed to eat it because it was late and it was edible . But not up to Lee's standards. I worked for the company before in a manager position. So I know the standards . That was not it.“

“Been years since I been inside this place for food, then when I seen it back open I went inside to order and what was a walk up window in front was gone and an entire bar magically appeared when I opened the door, didn't look anything like it used to look. I seen vinyl records on the he wall behind the DJ area that was by 1 of the front windows the other front window area looked like a small section for a dance floor. The Bar was in the Rear and yes the still serve the food. It was early afternoon if it was even past noon when I discovered the new renovated "Arkansas Fried Chicken" I can't wait to visit it at night. Ow & check it out.“
