Came to Lee's for dinner with my son on an early Friday night in December. Pro-tip: this place gets popular full quick! It is popular, for all the right reasons, so take that into your planning. We were seated quickly because we arrived before 5:30! By the time we left there weren't many open seats. The waiter was great, well timed and very competent. Inside it was cozy and ready for the Christmas holiday's. Something possessed me so I ordered a margarita. Pretty good! I have crazy margarita standards and this one hit the mark. We also started with hushpuppies. Since I used to have a summer job where ALL I did was make hushpuppies at a fish fry shack, I can personally rate hushpuppies and these were outstanding. I'm a sucker for crabcakes. So, of course, I had to have a crabcake sandwich. I didn't want to go all in on the meal and the sandwich seemed the perfect fit for me. And it was! Just the way I like them and wouldn't have it any other way. I went with mashed potatoes gravy as one side. It was very good and will be my new staple. I wanted a good vegetable that I could identify, but the only option that appealed to me was the cucumber salad. I don't remember the last time I ordered that. After the edition, I should order it more! The reason this has been a successful family run business for the last 80 years is because it is reliable, tastes great, and would be the poster child of a place that excels at "comfort food". And I write that with pride.

One of the worst dining experiences we have ever had. Young waitress got half of our order wrong and was argumentative and insisted we were wrong. Told us it would be 20-30 minutes to replace it. Then she was surly and unpleasant for the rest of our meal. I had to ask 3 times for the manager to come talk to me. She wasn't very pleasant either. No one ever apologized. When I paid the bill, I gave the cashier 3 twenties for a bill of $59.02. I did not have 2 pennies so She started counting out 98 cents. I told her to just keep the dollar. Unbelievable.
Also, the worst tasting tartar sauce i have ever had.

We have tried seafood up and down the east coast and Lee's is by far the best we have had! The portions are huge and it's always fresh and delicious!! Everything we have tried at Lee's is prepared perfectly. The service is great and you never leave hungry 😊

Best fried chicken!
We ended up at Lee’s because it was one of the only restaurants open around 3 in the afternoon and I am so glad we found it. The fried chicken was some of the best I have ever had. Crispy on the outside tender on the inside, and full of flavor. Everything else we ordered was really good too. The service was friendly and relaxed. The whole place just had a welcoming feel. We will definitely be back.

Hometown goodness in a place family owned for 85 years. Homemade pies, local seafood, and hot rolls! Who could ask for more?
