KFC Chicken dinner

We have usually had problems with the KFC outlet on Washington Street in Palm Desert, CA. But we stuck with you because the chicken was always moist and good. However this latest edition of your chicken was as dry as the Sahara Desert-completely unsatisfactory. I just wanted to let you know.

Jerry Neft, Palm Desert.

P.S. the ticket number was #4904. Date of Purchase 10/14/23. Amount 20.32

I have tried to call and file a complaint, but no one answers the phone. I bought KFC last night and the tights and wings were so small, and the extra crispy chicken breading was over cooked. The breast was big. We have complained to the store before and now I want to complain to the establishment. We have to drive 5 miles to a different KFC to get a...

KFC chicken meals

I purchased an 8 piece dinner in Brainerd MN. I ordered the original recipe chicken.

The original recipe was not the same original recipe. It tasted like the crap they sell at the local bar. It was salty and otherwise tasteless. The mashed potatoes were runny and the gravy was not the same either. The coleslaw was dry. this is the worst I have ever eaten. I will never order KFC chicken again. I hope that changing your recipe is worth losing customers, because you have lost this one.

Desired outcome: Change back to original recipe and reduce price.

KFC Chicken tenders and biscuits

I went into kfc on 10/3/23 at 8:03pm my sister was ahead of me and ordered 5pc tender meal, mashed potatoes, a small Mac and cheese and 4 biscuits. Then I went next and ordered the 12pc tenders. The girl hollered in back to tell him to do 12 pc tenders, he said no. She said really, then went back there. She came back and said he won't make them, so I said really. So then I ended up ordering 8pc bucket. Then he hollered from back saying they won't make them an hour before closing, although they were making the 5pc ones for my sister. She got hers, then I ended up getting mine and we left, down the road we noticed she didn't even get her biscuits, wasn't about to turn around and go back. All and all the young staff there was rude. I'll never go back there again. This was in Merrill, Wi.

Desired outcome: If they made my sister's tenders, they could've thrown more in when I ordered not even 2 minutes later, ridiculous. Forgot to say the guy in back said no because he just put them back after he threw my sisters in. B.S.

This is the 2nd time I've had the wrong type of chicken with my Fill Up Box. The first time was on Sept 05, 2023, and the last time was on 09/22/2023 at 4:01PM ticket #3139. The recpt. shows the name of Samantha, this is wrong, a fellow was at the cashier's position taking my order. The first time was at the drive thru window, I've misplaced that...

KFC KFC George, Courtenay Street

I ordered 2x All Star Box meals today at the drive through. We waited almost 30mins for our food. We received room temperature cool drinks, old, dry, cold and stale burgers with soggy lettuce, the smallest zinger wings I've ever seen and a cold piece of chicken. The only thing that was fresh, was the chips.

This is not the first time I've had a bad experience at this particular KFC and I am guessing it is not going to be the last, because I have complained before with no response. It seems like the staff is more concerned about chatting with their friends and colleagues than actually helping paying customers.

Desired outcome: I would ask for a complimentary meal, but then I'd have to complain about that one also not being up to standard. They need new management

KFC KFC Chicken

Good afternoon

I went to KFC today the 36th of September 2033 , used their drive thru and ordered some KFC chicken.

When I got home to eat the KFC chicken smelt awfully bad , the skin and chicken tasted horrible , it was uncooked and bloody inside and it had a very bad taste.

I did not eat the chicken and that’s not how it should taste , I purchase kfc almost every week.

I went to the drive - thru, I ordered some wings and was told there would be a wait, did not know it was going to be a 20+ wait time. Had I not gotten out of the car and went in to find out why it was taking that long, I would’ve been out there longer, I just got my money back and left, first of all they could’ve said we still cooking your wings or something, they didn’t say anything!

KFC Dining room not open.

Today I drove several miles to the Kentucky Fried Chicken - Buffalo, NY - 2234 Elmwood Ave at 11:00am. The hours listed on the door said they open at 10:30am. I parked my car and went to go inside but the doors were locked and the dining room was not open. I went through the drive through window to find out what was going on. The woman said the dining room would not open until noon because she was there alone and safety was a concern.

As I told her I can understand that but at least they should have put a sign on the door to tell people. I did not order any food and went to a Burker King where the dining room was open. I did not want to get take-out from KFC and eat in my car. prefer to eat at a table rather than chance spilling food/drink on my clothes or my car. Also, what were people w/o a car supposed to do? Sit on the curb to eat?

Desired outcome: Hire more staff so the dining room is always open. Put a sign in the window when the dining room is not open.

KFC Manager very rude

I am a door dasher and this restaurant sucks with employees and management. They will not acknowledge anyone very rude and my pick up time for a order was 4:06pm but they would not make it until 4:30pm. Door dash called the store and canceled the order. Therefore yall lost money as well as me. Not a great way to run a business as to i know since I had 2 businesses in the past.

KFC Slaw was hot and gravy was spilled everywhere

I ordered the 16 piece family meal. 1 of the gravies I ordered was tipped upside down and completely spilled out. Not only this they put the Cole slaw in with the mashed potatoes and gravy. So, once I got home my slaw was hot and gravy was all over everything. It's pretty messed up that it cost almost $60 for this meal and my slaw was hot and the gravy mess. It's crazy ya'll think it's ok to do hard working people this way when they have to pay so much for your food. I think I deserve to be reimbursed something on this issue. And I hope for the future customers ya'll fix the issue.

Desired outcome: Hope to be reimbursed something.
