Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken

I ate there most recently Saturday and Monday! The fish meal is fantastic! Such large pieces at a reasonable price. The green beans are very good as well (especially for canned beans)
I just want to give a shout out to Wapak’s staff the young people in this restaurant is some of the friendliest, helpful and patient kids I’ve seen in recent years. Good job guys you’re awesome!!

The chicken was good. They had a solar eclipse viewing party going on. Owner was there and greeting customers. He told me that the original location of Lee's was in Lima, Ohio. Pretty cool. Nice guy!

It was well worth the trip to go to this Lee's Famous Recipe. The fish meal was so good and the chicken too😋

This place be dope. They are so postive and awesome. Great food and service!

We absolutely love this location. We are basically the same distance in either direction from all 3 locations, but this is our favorite location for sure! Heather and Ashley are so friendly, it's refreshing! We have had the most contact with Heather though and she is beyond friendly and so sweet too. We have been there several times this month and it has been wonderful. We tried the walleye last night and it certainly did not disappoint. OMG it was so delicious. I am so happy this location still has the potato salad as well. Ticks me off the Lima one does not have it anymore. Heather and Ashley have made us want to come more often. We rarely eat out just because it's not that enjoyable to us most often and the food never has us dying to go back, until now! It's not just the food that matters to us, it's the experience as well. I hope those 2 wonderful employees are getting paid what they deserve because you wouldn't want to lose them. They are seriously a big factor in us wanting to come way more often.

My girlfriend, and I, were very surprised. What an excellent eatery experience. Very few people, very clean inside/outside, very friendly, and staff was professional and quick. Two older ladies and a cook running the entire operation. We were given all the time in the world to order without feeling rushed. As we decided, the lady at the register continued getting orders out of the drive-thru. When we finally ordered, it was no more than 20 minutes to receive our hot, fresh food. So delicious. Everything was included. Did not have to make a second trip to get utensils or napkins. Sat down and ate, still, without being rushed. So relaxed and quaint. Out the window was a perfect view of the Auglaize river with the sun setting on the horizon. After we were done, the register lady made her rounds to our table to take away the trash and empty containers. She also re-filled our jug of tea. She was just so nice. The bathrooms were perfectly clean and stocked. Floors were clean as well. We stopped on the way out to talk to the staff and tell them about the pleasant atmosphere and really good food and to thank them. My girlfriend, and I, walked the banks of the river before we left on our way home. I'll be going back again soon. I recommend this great experience to anyone in this area, who are in the mood for chicken, to stop here. It's excellent.

Since new ownership took over, this restaurant has been amazing with great quality food. The workers are always nice and hardworking. Today, I went through the drive thru to order food and the cashier was taking orders for the drive thru, up front and paying out. On top of that, she was bringing food out to cars for people and checking in the kitchen to check on orders. Her name was Heather and she is the hardest working employee I’ve ever seen in Wapakoneta in fast food! She was super amazing and sweet!! Thank you for the great experience!

Love the Atmosphere of this place really an absolute must to come sit down and eat at!

Recently heard this Lee's was under new management. Stopped in today for some lunch with my wife. Really glad we did! Everything was great! There were 4 younger employees that were doing an amazing job! The service was very fast. The food was hot and delicious. Much better than the Lee's in Lima. We live less than 2 miles from the Lee's on North and Woodlawn, this will be the Lee's we go to from now on. Thanks for swing a great job today!!

Food was delicious, the service was fantastic(and fast) the restaurant was clean and the atmosphere was relaxing. All other Lee's famous recipe chicken restaurants should use this one as the universal standard. Thanks to the staff for the awesome experience.

I went with my fiancé and the entire team was wonderful! We want to give a special shout out to Heather because she was well above and beyond with customer service. Lees is lucky to have someone that spectacular working for their company. My fiancé even made the comment that she wished she would come work for her company. Thank you for the exceptional service.

I stopped in to pick up lunch for us. I got a 3pc meal, and also decided to bring a gallon of iced tea home as well. The staff were friendly and helpful, my order was quickly prepared, and it was correct!!

The Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken in Wapakoneta is great you all!! The food is way better under this new ownership!! The chicken is crispy and juicy!! Their coleslaw is awesome!! All of their food is delicious now! You have to check it out I wouldn't waste my time on here if it was bad. I love eating there now and it's right here in town for me!!

A BIG SHOUT OUT TO Rebecca, Deb, Judy and Kizzie - you girls rocked it today!! Went for lunch with a coworker and Lee’s was packed. They worked as a team getting orders out. They were friendly and checked on us. Food was awesome. Keep it up!!! Lisa and Jenny

Excellent food and service. We live in Lima and will drive to Wapakoneta every time we want Lee's chicken. The lima store is rude and doesn't taste as good.

Down home fried chicken at its finest! The best chicken strips I’ve ever eaten. I can’t wait to come back to this location.

UPDATED REVIEW!
I visited the Wapakoneta Lee's again in 2022 and I have to admit that it is like night and day from the time of my original review. They were open and the crew was friendly.

Overall, the food was excellent and matched the quality I expect from a Lee's restaurant. Surprisingly, they actually had gizzards and chicken livers on the menu (The Lima locations don't have them anymore!). The gizzards were perfect but the livers were overcooked and dry. I'm guessing they may have been sitting around for a while since they are probably less popular - not inedible, but not very good.

I'm happy to say that the new management has done a great job turning this location around and wish them a bright future!

Keep up the good work!

--- Original 2019 Review ---
I visited the Wapakoneta Lee's twice with nobody working during during business hours. I thought the place had closed.

The third time I visited, the person working was very rude, as if I was just inconveniencing him. The food was very different from what I had come to expect from the Lima Lee's, particularly the Cole Slaw, which was just a nasty green sludge. Everything was also more expensive.

Very delicious..apparently the new owners actually care if the food is good..

I can't say enough great things about our experience at the Wapak Lee's today. I've recently had to remove dairy from my diet and going out to eat can be stressful because you don't always know how the food is prepared. The manager, Rebecca, made sure my meal was dairy free (altering the normal preparation of my chicken and even showing me ingredient lists for added spices and breading) and held my baby so I had two hands to eat. Talk about going above and beyond! Thank you, guys! ❤

Best fish around, we come from lima to get the walleye dinners, and the pieces are very large. Customer service is outstanding as well!
