33576 Marshall Rd, Abbotsford, BC V2S 3M6, Canada
Counter-service chain offering honey-dipped chicken, biscuits & other comfort food.
Owner is disrespectful ! They advertise 2 pc chicken n small fries BUT it’s not a small fries 🍟 it’s a 1/2 of a small fries Stop 🛑 advertising small fries if you don’t provide it! Then I asked for ketchup n she hands me one packet 🤦🏼♂️. CUTTING CORNERS in the restaurant business NVR goes well.
Love their chicken sandwich and waffle fries. Crunchy from the outside soft and tender inside. The two ladies runnung the joint are a delight
Picked up a 10pc today and it looked like I bought the end of the day food from the food court. Soggy, undercooked and flavourless. These new owners have turned this into the last place I want to go for fried chicken. Will never go back. Will no longer recommend this place.
We stopped here on our way back to the city and were so impressed. The woman running the shop was so sweet and kind. The chicken was fresh, hot, and delicious! Really big pieces and the seasoning was so good. We brought some home for our family and everyone agreed that the fried chicken was excellent! Wish we lived closer, but we’ll definitely be back soon when we’re passing by Abby!
Was around Abby area so tried the chicken with half spicy and none; however, I don’t recommend none spicy chicken which it was so dried with no juice inside. Also it’s too salty. On the other hand, the spicy one is more juicy and crunchy, but one of the spicy one was a bit dry. The price isn’t cheap too.
The Tuesday special is the best chicken I've ever had. Perfect crisp. Holds. Doesn't get soggy. Not oily at all. Yesterday they started with a new variety of fries and they are pefect. 10/10. I look forward to Tuesday every week. Great value.
Omg the best gravy ever! Love their chicken strips! Amazing !!
First time trying lee’s chicken and it was tasty and wasn’t too greasy which was nice! I got to try a little bit of everything which was nice!
Two piece Tuesday you can not go wrong, special
There grave is amazing
Good chicken!
Friendly staff and delicious fried chicken
Fresh and Delicious, have a Tuesday special with 2 pieces of chicken and fries for 5.99
Freshly prepared crispy fried chicken with juicy meat inside. Great food and great staff.
Not greasy at all ! Very good ! Really friendly update Aug 2024 but this time the chicken was very soggy and that s very sad as I really liked this place . I m afraid to give them another chance . The young girl up front was very friendly !
Excellent service, and very good food, with very fast attention
Its a yes for me. Kid-friendliness: My boy ordered seconds on the Dino nuggets. Recommended dishes Chicken Nuggets
Such a great local spot, love the new owners and the chicken!
Super disappointed in the chicken this time around. Usually the chicken is really good here. But cutting corners and lack of quality seems to be the common denominator with shrinkflation The oil in their fryer clearly hasn t been changed the chicken tasted like vomit!! Not worth my hard earned dollar! Will not order ever again! Super choked.
I LOVE THERE CHICKEN, IT IS SO JUICY AND CRUNCHY EVEN THERE SPICY CHICKEN SANDWICH AND THERE GRAVY IS ALWAYS REALLY HOT AND TASTY
the best fried chicken in Abby. Gravy is also one of a kind.
Disgusting dont go here
The chicken is so delicious and the owner is friendly.
This place is my family s newest favorite place! The owner is very friendly and their fried chicken and fries are excellent!
We loved chickens as a family. The restaurant staff are very friendly and very interested in their customers. My son liked the childrens menu very much.
Great chicken!
Excellent service and food. Highly recommended
Super good chicken everyone loved it
This is so great!
Great chicken, great meal prices as well, definitely going again!
The chicken pieces are better than the chicken strips. I would pass on the gravy, fries and waffle fries in the future Dietary restrictions: Plain chicken pieces just have salt and pepper.
Its one of those obscure little holes-in-wall that often only the locals know about. But, if you love southern fried chicken and especially the original KFC recipe (less grease, more taste!), this is the place to go. Its small, can be crowded, especially Toonie Tuesdays, and not the most elegant atmosphere, but its finger-lickin-good delicious. You wont be disappointed.
Famous chicken was delicious 10/10 tasted delicious and I m totally coming back again it is a must have if you are in Abbotsford. The seasoning was delicious and had tones of flavour. Parking: Right at the gas station.
Awesome little place and good indian options. Food taste good
This is one of those famous holes-in-the-wall that is a delight to find. Its a place that locals know about, but would be completely missed by tourists or newcomers to the city. If you love fried chicken youll love this place.
This chicken was fantastic. I ordered one of the family meals so I would have left overs. It reminds me of Brownies chicken our family used to eat in Mission BC before they closed. Famous chicken was more expensive than KFC but its 100% better. KFC has gone down hill over the years. Famous Chicken has lots of flavor and its really good quality. Very polite staff.
Love the chicken and fries here. Never had an issue so far been about 15 times.
Great chicken, prices $$ went up on everything and its a lil hard both ways hearing an saying what you want I think its the plastic shield not a language thing...
Best gravy & yangnyeom chicken in town! My only go-to chicken place in Abbotsford!
The food is pretty good. Not the best prices but its still worth going every once and a while. They charge for every condiment.
The best tasting gravy every time..the kernal doesn t got nothing on this place.. truly the best chicken, spuds.. or fries.. in all of Abbotsford.. I will always go back..for home cooked chicken. Don t forget the gravy!
Been here a few times the food and service is always great. You wait a good 5 minutes but it s worth it as the food you get is always freshly cooked.
Always coming back for the Tuesday special, spicy chicken isn t that spicy but I order that every time. Never disappointed me once. Their fried chicken is the best in town compared to Popeyes, KFC and church chicken. Fries are hot and freshly made so it s a delight to eat. You should come here every Tuesday for their specials!
their chicken captured my taste buds
First time here and the lady was so nice even gave me some xtra chicken strips and was very happy to see the chicken nuggets in the shape of dinosaurs will definitely come back when I m in the area to try some of there other stuff
Very bad quality of chicken
I have been coming to this location for over ten years . New management have realy done a great Job at keeping the quality going and the prices reasonable
Parking: LOVE IT! Chicken skin is one of a kind! Staff is amazing! Food
Service and menu much improved since last time I was here (about a year). Great fried chicken for me. My buddy occasionally orders two large gravies....and eats like soup! Too funny!
Great pitstop to end the day.
Famous for what? Being the driest chicken in town?
Meh...... pretty expensive for what is given. Chicken was not freshly cooked. Atmosphere and location very dated. The gravy and fries were pretty good, though.
Just Try it once..All i can say
A bit of a wait to get our order but was good food.
My favorite stop on the way to the Island from Alberta! Parking: Right in front; no walking. Food : 5/5 |
Edited for new management. My family loves this chicken and think its the best in town. Its not greasy and fatty like other places. Food : 5/5
Amazing food for an amazing price! Both ladies who work there are super friendly and always smiling.
The food here was good, it was fresh and very hot and had good flavours. The cashier was very friendly and kind and polite. The store itself is clean and well kept. Prices are very fair for the amount of food and quality
Came here on the whim while driving by, and gotta say it was pretty good. The pricing I found was fair and very good compared to the bigger chain restaurants here, and the chicken wasnt as salty as other places which I found to be a big plus. We did order the Spicy chicken and il be honest it wasnt spicy at all (wish it was), and the owner (I assume) was very nice and friendly.
No longer a Lees. Great new people running it. Added some new stuff to the menu. Still great chicken and fries. Food : 5/5
one of the local favorites I always enjoy their fries and gravy
Service is amazing
Wonderful establishment that has new owners and wonderful fresh fried chicken available with even a Korean style option! Love them as they have always been a part of our local fast food options in abbotsford for lunch and dinner Will be back many times over to show our appreciation for the quality! Thank you
Literally the best fried chicken in abbotsford
Tasty chicken and affordable packages
It seems they use very fresh oil. Chicken was extra crispy and crunchy and very tasty. Gravy with fries were good match Food
No longer called Lees Famous Chicken I have to say I was worried at first if the quality was as good as Lees. Im happy to say that yes it is! Portions are perfect & chicken is very tasty. But most importantly, the gravy is awesome! Churchs was my goto before its new ownership change & since then due to them ruining what was great, I have been looking for a good fried chicken joint to replace my Churchs cravings. Famous chicken is the one!!!
Awesome food and awesome service. I ordered 1- 4 piece dinner and a 2 pce dinner. The food was hot and fresh. My only complaint is the fries are pre cooked now or cooked too long. I dont like that.
The food is tasty and the woman running the restaurant is very nice. Food can be a little slow between 3 and 4 when she is working solo but otherwise great service.
We had delivery from Skip the Dishes. Best chicken, fries & gravy we have had in Abbotsford! Will be ordering again!
Good food just hard to get in and out of parking lot
Best value for chicken and fries in town. Better then the other fast food chicken joints. Tast and quality. I am a huge fan for the crinkle cut fries. Gravey thick and chunky. Food
Amazing chicken I ever had
Newer ownership now so the quality has improved! KFC has been extremely salty so this is a much better alternative! This is a small business thats very very busy on Tuesdays!
Was pleasantly surprised with how delicious the chicken was here, yum!! Better than the other chain restaurant fried chicken like popeyes or kfc.
Stopped by today and met the most lovely woman that runs this place. Working all by herself! She had the biggest smile and was super kind and even gave us a free extra piece of chicken<3 she was super sweet and so glad I stopped by because the gravy is amazing! As well as the sweetly and spicy chicken.
Always good, I love the spicy chicken. And very friendly staff.
I enjoyed it. Both regular and spicy chicken are good and crispy. Macaroni salad and fries are tasty and the gravy is excellent. I will go back and would recommend
The chicken has lost its flavour. Back when it was called Lees it was good. If youre looking for that specific flavour go to Johns Chicken house in Langley.
To the owner of this store: the mask mandates are not a law. If you ever got a fine for not discriminating against people who dont want to or cannot wear masks, you would win the case in court because the government is in the wrong.
I come here often for chicken. They are very friendly and will sometimes give free pieces of chicken. However the fries are bland and the chicken has sometimes been... off tasting.
Excellent service. Clean and professional and very polite staff!
Friendly staff Always greet you with a calm voice
I had some take out a couple times from here , great food, awesome service , definitely will continue coming here
Life nowadays are really getting hard in Canada. I m an immigrant 20 years ago and food prices are quite affordable for everybody during those times Rich and poor can afford food prices and you can t tell who have the means and what not. The only place where you can buy food that rich and poor people can afford is in Famous Chicken, specially during their Tuesday special. Last year, it was $3.50 for 2 chickens and a generous fries. Now the price went up to $4.42. I saw high end cars park in front of the store to take advantage of the cheapest chicken combo in town. However, when I open the small box. The chicken leg and thighs are way to small and the fries have only 10-15 fries. Hay Naku! Buhay nga naman.
Good Chicken But prices are high Small sides are tiny
Their chicken is good, but the pieces are so small!!!
Thiswasthe best place to get chicken breasts in Abbotsford, but after two disappointing visits I will not be going back, the search for a new place begins.
Best crispy fried chicken in abby hands down... even trumps the big box brands
the best chicken in town.i wish the place was open when they say . drive there at 11am wait for 10min still not open left.very disappointed. will not be going back for a long time after that .
It may be a very old building and not much has been done to improve the aesthetics of the place but who cares... it is very conveniently located close a lot of businesses, cafes, university and many others. The food tastes pretty good and is very consistent. It is a great place for a quick bite, lunch or full family sized meals.
Best chicken , gravy and side dishes around , way better than the KFC , around here.
You cant beat the value of their Tuesday special. Absolutely worth checking out. Be careful of peak times, you might be waiting a long time.
Best fried chicken in Abby in my honest opinion. I tend to get take out here once a week. Update: still great years later keep coming back. Bravo.
Have driven by many times since we moved here in August. I finally dropped in yesterday! Tuesday is their 2 piece special day, dark meat but I didn t have the special as I like white meat, I love fried chicken and said I would splurge and have some fried chicken and poutine, have you ever wished you didn t waste your calories. The chicken was dry, fries are fries but the gravy wasn t tasty or hot. I did pay $15plus for this two pieces of chicken and poutine without a drink! Didn t take a photo! I will try the restaurant out another time, if I enjoy I will certainly let you know! Staff were friendly!
So good i am to be at this place really good food
The first time I had this food I thought it was decent - you get what you pay for. The second time, I was extremely sick for several hours after eating the chicken. Would not go again.
Fantastic chicken
I have been going here for chicken for over 16 yrs always great food , the absolute fav. chicken stop
After many years of going to Lees chicken Abbotsford and thoroughly enjoying the large crispy delicious pieces of chicken they are famous for every time, we were extremely dissatisfied with what we purchased for dinner yesterday. The pieces were tiny, flavorless and all fit into one single small box! We used to buy the exact same amount of chicken pieces and they would barely fit into two boxes. The price has gone up drastically and the quality has gone down the toilet. The last time we were there was May 23, 2022. The chicken was excellent, but the side dishes had shrunk to very tiny portions. Now the chicken has also shrunk. We will not be returning to this location ever.
The size of the chicken pieces was ridiculous. I didnt know chickens grew that small. It obvious the new owners are cutting corners to try to make more money. The taste,or lack thereof was the other thing of note. With the previous owners the quality was always there. These new folks have ruined a great thing. Shame on them. Parking: Parking is hit and miss,with only about 5 spots in total
Always delicious chicken and reasonably priced. Wish they had more locations. Parking: 6 stalls. Kid-friendliness: What kid doesnt like chicken strips fries and gravy.
Good food
The best chicken restaurant in Abbotsford!!
Bland chicken and expensive. Gravy was good but that was about all that stood out other than the food was ok at best
Great tasting chicken
The chicken was absolutely perfect nice and crispy with a delicious taste the customer service was impeccable. I definitely will be going back.
The people running this location are very friendly and polite. I have bought chicken here twice now, and both times the food had been exceptionally delicious. One time we did a comparison between the 3 different chicken restaurants in the area, and Lee s Famous Chicken was the clear winner. I ll be back for more.
So polite and hospitable environment, even with a mask on I just wanted to hug the lady behind the counter, definitely going back for more of that world famous Chicken
Love their French Fries
Love the chicken and fries! Real friendly and efficient service. Strict covid rules which is how it should be.
love the chicken ! best gravy and crinkle fries
Larger pieces of chicken, more for your money. Gotta like Tuesday Special.
Their chickens are greatly delicious. The staff is reallly nice and kind.
Easily my favorite place for chicken in the valley. Best gravy aswell!
Been here a few times very good not greasy and friendly covid safe.
Great food fast service
***2021 update*** After 3 different orders recently I can say that the gravy is better than listed in my original experience. The chicken has been consistent. I do believe now I didnt get spicy the first time as requested. Still not my level of spice but for the average consumer it would be directed to, the spice would probably be sufficient. Chicken... 8/10 Gravy.. 9/10 Fries... Still holding out that they could do better with fresh raw potatos and a fry cutter, and would be cheaper for their food costs. 2/10 Business has been getting a facelift inside as well. Looks good, clean, and easy to navigate menu board. Original: 3 stars -> New: 4 stars **2019 original** Alright so lets give this a honest response. I will break down. Gravy - standard run of the mill with ladle of oil from the chicken fryer. But as with attached photo too much fryer oil was used and you can see the separation. Unfortunately the oil was old and you have the taste of burnt chicken bits from the oil as a taste of the gravy. Cannot truthfully recommend or not to as this may be a limited occurrence Fries - standard crinkle cut fries. Frozen from a bag and deep fried. A definite missed opportunity here. Do not recommend. Chicken - Crunch - well i was asked if i wanted all spicy. I said yes please. I feel the kitchen put down a regular variant. Was not spicy to my taste and didnt taste any spice. But chicken was well battered, Juicy and fresh. Staff - polite and respectful. Place was quiet at this time. Overall: chicken 8/10, fries 2/10, gravy 3/10. Review take away: Better than KFC, would get chicken here but no sides
Its not even a competition this is the best fried chicken around. Both the original chicken and the spicy chicken are flavorful with awesome crunchy skin.
Super flavorful
Had the Chicken strips and frys!! Soooo good! Lots of frys too!!
It was okay but the popcorn chicken was rather dry
Best fried chicken I have ever had.
Usually a pretty good place to get a snack, though sometimes the wait isnt worth it. They have an excellent deal every Tuesday, but the lineup is often enough to stop me from ordering.
Friendly staff, good food loyal owner
Good price & service
Good chick no taste
We come to this place a lot whenever we get tired of Nandos or Barcelos. Fried chicken is ok, but I dont like their gravy. Theyre always a lifesaver if we needed a quick dinner. No dine-ins since the pandemic.
Greasy and I didnt find it flavorful or have enough gravy. Poor drink selection too
This is one of my favorite fried chicken places, its always juicy and skin is usually crispy, the spicy has a nice small kick afterwards. Ask for your fries extra crispy ! Staff is super friendly aswell
Excellent chicken! Keep up the good work guys!
Delicious fried crispy chicken in reasonable price. One should must try this. Spicy potato wedges also delicious.
Everything you love about KFC but less grease and less blah feeling.
I absolutely love this place, even from skip the dishes the food I still hot, and they have the best gravy.
The chicken I took home didnt seem very famous at all not one person stopped to ask me if my chicken was famous on my way home but a crow and a squirrel each got a fry I didnt dip it In gravy though that would be a tad weird..
I was driving by and the smell of fried chicken aroma swept into my car and I did a U Turn which I did not regret it. Very tasty chicken regular or spicy and a good price to pay for a meal or for alot of people. They have a variety on their menu to serve you and it has a very favorable taste to it and the fries are delicious I might add! Very quick service and the new place to go if you Bern to them all. Try it youll enjoy it for sure.
Just good food
Depending on the day of the week its great. Love their gracy
Very fast, covid safe, and tasty chicken. Spicy or regular. By itself or with fries and a drink. Standard fare at a reasonable price.
Absolutely the best fried chicken joint in the area. Their gravy slays and the chicken is on point owner and workers are super friendly as well. I wont go anywhere else for my fried chicken.
Watch out they will charge you 2 times on your debit card and they will not say it was there fault they are scammers
Best spicy chicken and the new owners are amazing. Very fast and efficient and friendly
Great service and good food.
10 minutes late and they refused to give me my order they said I was 3 hours late. Terrible customer service and manager
Staff is friendly, food is good! Chicken sandwich is ! Delicious and worth a visit
Best place to go for Abbotsford Better then KFC
I was stopping by and trting sample - spicy chicken. It was so delicious. Its worth it to try again
Awesome chicken, especially their Spicy. Always good.
The lady that works there is super friendly the food is always hot and fresh I enjoy stopping here every time I can theres a spicy Korean chicken is my favorite There spicy chicken is really good really good the potato wedges are always smoking on and they make them spicy on request Will definitely be stopping in there again
Very tasty. Quick, friendly service.
Best chicken in abby.
Good service and good chicken
Ordered a 2pce dinner for over $10 bucks and ine of the pieces was cold and tasted terrible as if it were days old... and needless to say was sick all night long.
I have been a long time customer and I can without a doubt say that this is the best chicken place in abby. The owners are always super nice and polite and its a great place to go for a quick bite to eat. Highly recommend the chicken sandwich
Man this place is awesome! The chicken is so juicy and fresh. The fries are crispy crinkle cut. Maybe the best fries Ive had at a fast food joint. The gravy is delicious. No questions about it this is way better than KFC or popeyes. Adorable little hard working lady makes your food for you and you can tell she tries hard to make you enjoy your experience.
Great chicken. Plus there Tuesday special is the way to. I think better then KFC
Worst chicken ever, old, dry, terrible taste,, I couldnt communicate my order,, I am very disappointed and will not be going back
Awesome chicken ,fries and gravy.
Ive been eating here for decades! I havent lived in Abbotsford for over 20 years, but usually get takeout from Famous Chicken when I come to visit my Mom and Grandmother. It used to go by a different name, but always the same location and same familiar flavour. IMO, it is better tasting and better value than the chains, though admittedly some of it may be nostalgia. The service is quiet and to the point, and theres not much of a dining area. This is simple comfort food for takeout. Fries are how I like then (crinkle cut, a bit soft), but I think they come out of a frozen bag. Gravy is basic but good. Ive actually never tried any of their other sides, strangely enough. Prices have crept up, obviously, but it remains a good deal.
Best fried chicken Ive ever had way better than KFC Spicy is the best so crispy
Beats KFC!!!
I cant say enough good about this place. Chicken was *amazing*, potato wedges *amazing*, gravy *amazing* and the lady that helped us was SO NICE. Go! Get some chicken! Now!
Its reasonably priced on Tuesday but a 7 piece meal with fries and gravy for just under $30 on another night is a little much....
Never had a bad meal yet, and the ladies always very courteous.
Must try the spicy chicken!
I tried the poutine it was lukewarm when I got it home. When I heated it up the chips turned to mush. I highly recommend that people do not order the poutine it was disgusting and overpriced.
Service was quick. Everything tasted great but the gravy was a little salty for my taste.
The best chicken!! Crispy and fresh!
Love the flavors.
I ordered a 10 piece spicy with fries and gravy. Service was quick and friendly. The pieces were large partially due to the fact there was a lot of breading, which was ok cus it was tasty. I did request spicy but the chicken I got wasnt spicy at all not even a little bit. I did enjoy the chicken though and the fries werent too bad with the gravy. I live near Lees Famous Chicken and quite often when I go past there are a few people waiting outside (1 person at a time allowed inside due to Covid). They get busy around dinner time. No dine in. All in all I recommend this place for fried chicken. Michele
Expensive and staff are very precise about the covid related practices which are very annoying.
Whos KFC, when youve got Lees Famous Chicken
Great chicken I can see the Challenger to kfc
Very friendly staff and food is great
Seasoned to perfection! A little on the pricey side though. (For a family) $25 to $45 for chicken, fries and side salad. Day old chicken is cheaper, as well as all brown meat bucket.
