While back in the Mishawaka area over break, I noticed that the Lee's Famous Recipe restaurant on Logan was changed into a "SkipBones" restaurant, which is unassociated with Lee's. I decided to give them a try.

Their menu was a bit sparser than Lee's, with not as many sides advertised, and only chicken strips and chicken sandwiches available. I liked both of those items best out of the Lee's menu, though, so that was fine with me. The combos include fries, slaw, Texas toast, and a dipping sauce. I went with the 3 chicken strips combo. The chicken was about the same as Lee's, but perhaps a little tastier. The fries were top-notch, and tasted like Rally's fries (that is, seasoned). The slaw didn't have much taste to it. I have no basis for judging the merits of Texas toast, but it was palatable. The dipping sauce (the flavor I had was honey mustard — they have a nice array of other flavors as well) was quite good, and came in a container that made for easier dipping.

Overall, the meal at SkipBones was quite good, though I'd recommend asking for double fries instead of slaw. Since they do not have biscuits, mashed potatoes, or green beans (except in the Sunday buffet), the place does not quite fill the same niche as Lee's or KFC. Nonetheless, I could definitely see myself visiting there in the future.
