I purchased a 16-piece bucket of chicken at your Branson Missouri KFC Store. The food was awful. Greasy, dry and tasteless. The pieces were very small. More breading than chicken. The cost of this one small bucket of chicken was $35.00. Poor quality of food and cost much too high for chicken. I will not purchase KFC again because of this very poor experience.

When I went to pay the young lady in training told us $15.17. She was being instructed by a young man. As we pulled up to the window he was telling her "no receipt" I inquired about...

Time:4:03pm, Date: 2/11/2023. — The KFC at 2800 Airline Blvd in Portsmouth, VA is horrible. This is the 2nd time I have ordered and eaten here and each time I go through the drive through, there is a delay. Customer service is just awful & my order was wrong. There is a lot of hesitance as if something is going on within the store. Very strange. The same thing happened the 1st time and this time as well.

KFC Flavor and quality

Sedley I find the quality has become sub standard especially from your Kent and Essex branches'.
The flavor appears to be of a corner cheap chicken shop flavor and NOT the famous flavor I have experienced from living in the US and the flavor of KFC that Britain once knew.
It appears the size of chicken leaves a lot to be desired and flavorless.
Fries... Seven fries are classed as a portion.
Equally your stores are now refusing Blue light cardholder and Veteran cards.
I will be taking this matter up with the owner of KFC on my next visit to Chicago Via Email and letter, as I feel what once was a desired meal is now not so much desired.
I eagerly await your response.
S. Sadler.
Cobra Child Protection.

Desired outcome: I wait your reply and suggestion
