This is the ONLY place my wife will eat chicken not homemade, and she will not ask to eat at KFC again. 3 orders in a row, 3 times disappointed. $50 worth of food on the app, get home, not all the food is there, return to store, give all the order back, but I have to call someone to get a refund since it was not purchased in the store. I will call my Credit...

On Saturday, May 6, I visit the Corsicana KFC, B/W 4&5 PM. I ordered 5 nuggets. When I returned home, my bag consisted of 5 pieces of reheated chopped, dry chicken, the size of a quarter. I was very disappointed. The young lady obviously knew that was wrong, because she never said anything else to me. For instance, thank you or your order is ready.

Visited the KFC on South 311 in High Point NC. Was so disappointed at the new chicken nuggets that I paid $ for and they did not even have breading like they advertise on their TV commercials In my opinion it was really a rip off. They did not even taste like KFC recipes. Only got half cups of my Side orders! And… had to wait over 30min for my meals with...

KFC KFC Bangor and Brewer, Maine

Tonight I have reached my limit. Once again, my food was missing from the drive through order and didn’t find out until I got home. 12 pc nugget combo with no nuggets. This has happened several times over the past two years in a Bangor and Brewer KFC restaurants. Tonight, it was Bangor that failed. It’s a 50% failure rate. It’s either my meal, or someone else in my family in the same order. Tonight it was me. Last week it was Brewer and my daughter’s meal.

So, I’m done. As I eat cereal for supper instead of nuggets, I’m officially announcing to you that I’m done giving you my money for repeated failures at these two restaurant in Bangor and Brewer, Maine. I’m not going to any of your restaurants anywhere anymore.

I wish you no ill will, but I’ve had enough.

Goodbye

Desired outcome: If you would like to send me about $50 for the food that these two restaurants failed to provide that I paid for, I will consider us even. I still won’t ever go back to your restaurants though.

KFC Did not get replacement bowl for pot pie

Placed order on line - hackettsstown nj order [protected] on 4/27/23

Upon arrival for pickup told order not ready. Had to wait 20 minutes extra for chicken order and also had no pot pies. They would replace pot pie with famous bowl. Kfc store 15-20 minutes away. When opening bag at home - only had 1 famous bowl and 1 mac and cheese bowl. No replacement for pot pie. What should have been a simple on line order became an hour production and minus food and/or refund

Desired outcome: coupon/credit for a famous bowl meal - at least. did not get refunded.

I went to KFC on 4/30 in Charlotte, NC, the west sugar creek location. I order the same thing every time, tenders, fries, and a side of gravy with the sweet lightning mountain dew. The drink hasn't been available for weeks but is still posted and advertised as still selling it. The fries were not good and crisp like usual. My side of gravy literally had 2...

KFC Voucher won on competition run by radio station Algoa FM

I won a R1000 voucher by entering a competition at radio station Algoa FM December 2022. Since then I had endless problems with the voucher at many stores. Every time I want to order something with the code they tell me it's not valid. The contact person Gillian Abboy promises to sort it out, but it is always a problem. HOW CAN KFC PROMISE VOUCHERS THAT DON'T WORK, THIS HAS BEEN VERY FRUSTRATING FOR ME AND MY FAMILY PLEASE SORT THIS OUT, KIND REGARDS ANGUS REID [protected].

Desired outcome: Please sort this out and let me know ASAP

KFC Product

Dear KFC Customer Service Team,

I am writing to express my disappointment with the Twister meal that I recently purchased from your restaurant on the 25th of April 2023 between 21:30 and 22:00 at KFC Ballito. The Twister meal that I received did not resemble the one that was advertised, and it was quite a letdown. Firstly, the wrap was poorly assembled and did not contain fresh ingredients as the one in the advertisement. The chicken was dry and overcooked, and the lettuce was wilted and stale. Additionally, the tomatoes were soggy and unappetizing.

As a customer, I expect to receive the same quality of food that is advertised, but unfortunately, this was not the case. I understand that there may be some variations in the appearance of the food due to factors such as cooking time and presentation, but the difference between the advertised Twister meal and the one I received was quite significant. I am a loyal customer of KFC, and I expect better from your restaurant. I hope that you can take my feedback into consideration and improve the quality of your products in the future. I would appreciate it if you could take steps to ensure that your food is presented and prepared as advertised.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I went to my local KFC (#Y300097) today 4/27/23 at 1:48 pm and ordered through the drive-thru with Lashanda. She was very rude and I could hear her comments. I ordered a classic chicken sandwich, french fries and bottled water, then ordered chicken nugget combo (which was not what I rec'd but rec'd chicken tenders) coleslaw and a bottled water and asked for...

KFC Product and service

After waiting for 20 mins for the car in front to place a order they gave up and moved to the window in drive through. I approached and placed my order. At the window they said they never new there was a big queue, I paid for my order £15.93 and then was told to wait a further 10 minutes in the car park, when home I saw my order of a original tower box meal had no cheese or hash brown just a over cooked chicken lettuce and mayo. Inedible may I say as you would need to dip it in water to put some moisture to it, Sprotbrough kfc in doncaster has got the reputation of being the worst around I should have known. I want a refund please

Desired outcome: Refund or replacement

Ordered 8 piece meal, 1/2 original and 1/2 crispy. I received 5 thighs, 3 legs, and 1 wing. Called Brandon, who is the manager, I explained the situation to him. He was not concerned about this in the least matter. He told me oh well you can bring it back and we can try to fix it. I told him I live in Carrollton which is a 20 min. ride for me and I was not...

On 4/23/23 at 6:37pm I went to store h667029. I placed and order online at their website and had a total of a little over $25. When I arrived at the store I was told they had no online record of my order for 8 pcs tenders, 12 nuggets, large mash and gravy and small corn. When I was handed the bill it was $30.24. It seems they are making up their own price...

You really need to sort this restaurant out! Every time we come here we are told to park up as we are waiting for food!
20 mins for a toasted twister meal today
40 mins for a boneless bucket on the 13/4/23
It’s a fast food restaurant!
You only supply chicken and there never seems to be enough being cooked,
You’re either sat at the Drive-through for ages waiting for someone to take your order or waiting for your food!
I wouldn’t have ordered this evening but the girl forgot to tell me we had to wait for the chicken until we got to the window and paid!
All good telling me after we have paid and got an autistic child in the car kicking off!
