This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I went to the Kentucky friend chicken on route 175 some time between 6:00 and 7p.m. to get some wings. I ate some in the car on the ride home. When I got home and saw them in the light, I saw that all the wings I had eaten were bloody and severely undercooked. I took them back and got a refund, but I am outraged. This is unacceptable. People get sick eating...

I went to this location at on 12/30/18. I arrived at the store at 10:49AM due to the website stating store hours are 10:00AM and posted on the door stated that they opened at 10:30AM. I was told that the store wasn't open for business at the time that I arrived, even the the hours posted on the door stated otherwise. Also, if I look up your menu price...

KFC service

The KFC Branch in Hartbeespoort at Sadiba Plaza is the worst ever. This is the second time in two weeks that we were turned away due to the fact that their chicken was not cooked yet. We were told to wait 15 min for it to cook. The lady serving us did not know what we were talking about when we tried to order a streetwise 5 meal either. This is realy pathetic.

KFC service in again kfc

The workers are not doing a really good job and also they are greeting their customers. The service is really bad because we order our food and it took almost 25 minutes to get our food and also I ordered two mash bowls and it took 35 minutes to get it and my child was hungry and they took so long to get our mash bowls so she didn't have the chance to eat. So just letting u know that u need to work or to talk to the employees at the area.

This was the filthiest place I have ever been in. I am not the only customer who saw this. While I know they are individually owned, it hurts your brand and the other owners who take pride in their establishments. The inside trash cans were full and overflowing. They must have emptied earlier and just set it outside the door. The smell of the place was so...

KFC service / theft

On Thursday the 13th December at 15h00 I wanted to buy a Variety lunchbox and 2 of Streetwise two meals at Sediba Mall Hartebeespoort KFC. Please chech your cctv footage for confirmation.
At first the counter told me I owe R110 rand, I asked if the cash register is not working, I wanted a slip. Only then did the lady use the register, I paid, but the change was wrong(as displayed), I called her back, and she then called the manager, they claim to forgot to add the Streetwise 2s. This employee or more of them, do not add items on the register, so it does not show as sales, I am sure they are thieves and are stealing from the owner of this store. You need to let him know and to investigate this.
Thank you
Frensch

KFC lack of service and attitudes of employees.

The Incident occurred on a Thursday in November of 2018. The Franchise is located on Washtenaw ave near the boarder of Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti, Michigan. I walked into the building and went to the counter. I observed that none of the employees appeared to be busy. All were essentially walking around ignoring customers. I stood there for approximately five minutes with no employing saying a word to me. The only time anyone came to the counter was when a pizza delivery man brought there meals. A heavy set woman with red hair extensions, who appeared to be a manager, quickly came to counter to pay for the meals and walk back away from the counter. Again nothing was said to anyone. By this time other customers began to come to the counter. Another manager walked out to fill his cup with a soft drink and walk back behind the counter, and say nothing to any of the customers. Another employee walked by and scowled at the customers. Enough was enough and I decided to leave. The entire time that had elapsed was at least ten minutes. This gives new meaning to the term fast foods. Normally I don't complain and I realize the public can be a pain to serve, I've been there. Nothing could this justify treating customers this was way.

KFC delivery service

I placed an order at 14:15 for just 10 zinger wings - and it's now 15:45 almost two hours later and I still haven't recieved my order and when I called to cancel they didn't want me to cancel. This is very unfair service, both the calling and the delivery services. I don't think I'll ever use it again and I definitely will not recommend it. I'm really appauled with the services that I received and I'm upset because KFC is usually good

KFC food and dirty store

Hi, I purchased a Hawaiian burger meal last night from your store in Galleria Mall, needless to say food disappointing yet again. Burger fillet was cold, burger had no lettuce, it was falling apart basically. The fillet was cold n gummy like it was fried in the morning and kept aside...

Besides the tasteless food, your store needs to be cleaned thoroughly, as we entered there was a dirty mop n cleaning stuff right at the doorway, in the store itself had a terrible vile odour which makes you want to throw up.

Just some info, my family opted to have Macdonalds coz they hate KFC, but I said no let's give them another try, well I was highly disappointed to say the least.

Terrible food and honestly a health consultant should be auditing your store soon!
