KFC brand in the uk

Moved to the uk having kfc over here is outrageously disappointing! Where is the flavour? Where are the biscuits? Where is the famous bowl? At first I thought it was just a bad first batch from the kfc in peckham, south london. Go once more the same thing? Can the headquarters in the usa make sure anyone wanting a kfc franchise actually keeps the recipe, flavours and standards the same! Actually upsetting how I can go to a regular chicken and fries shop and their food has more flavour than anything kfc in the uk has.

KFC food burned and not even edible

On 6/26 at 3:08 pm I went to KFC Store #G135164 and purchased a 3 piece dinner with 2 sides and biscuit. I also purchased 2 original wings. The only sides they had at the time were mashed potatoes, corn, coleslaw and potato wedges. My friend wanted the rice but was told they no longer serve it. So we got the chicken with potato wedges and corn. When we got home the chicken was burned and dried out, which is hard to do with a leg and thigh. The potato wedges were so hard and dark black that no one could eat them. The corn was also started to dry out as it was old. None of the food was good. We called the store and basically got blown off. Said we could come by and she would replace potato wedges. But I spent $10 for nothing. TRASH. Anyway I could get a refund or even a replacement?

I must say that I had the best experience at this KFC on Wilma Rudolph in Clarksville TN. The manager Tonya was so helpful. I could tell they were extremely busy but she went out of her way to make sure my meal and others meals were pack correctly. since they didnt have all the pieces for my meal she offered us 4 cinnamon biscuits for the wait. I thought...

KFC grilled chicken

I want to complain abou the Kentucky Fried Chicken located on Jericho Turnpike in Huntington Station, NY. I have gone there at least 10 times in the last 2 months between the hrs of 4 and 5:30 pm to purchase the 8 piece bucket of grilled chicken. EVERY time I am being told they do not have any at the time. Each time I have told them that this is the most important time of the day (dinner hour) and that they should make sure they have enough. Truthfully it is the ONLY thing healthy on your menu. You have taken off the green beans and pork and beans so the only thing left for sides is cole slaw (full of mayo), corn (no nutritional value) macaroni and cheese (full of fat).

Your grilled chicken is delicious but in my opinion you need to make sure your availability of it is made a priority. I would hope you would work on a healthier menu as well.

Thanks for listening!

KFC food not offered that use to be offered and poor service at this location

I have always loved the KFC Original Fried Chicken Wings. Use to order a box of 5 whole wings and it was great. Went to order them and had to get one 3pc Chicken and one 2pc Chicken, both with a biscuit. I do not like biscuits. Waste of food and you offer 5 pc Hot Wings, but they are only pieces. Paid $8.82 for 5 wings and biscuits. Maybe go back to the old 5 wing box original recipe.

Bigger issue - On this day it was very poorly run. Poor service, people waited, and the staff did not know how to be efficient or productive. Manager was a young person that had to figure out how to get me 5 wings. It is not a well run KFC. I understand you have to hire who you do, but they certainly need to know the meaning of service. Dockside Gators is right next door and they have numerous wing specials and the service and food is excellent, and pricing is not bad. Someone should pay attention to how this KFC is run. It use to be one of my favorite spots.

KFC service

I ordered drive through and asked them to please make sure I had bbq sauce in the bag. I got my food from the window and looked inside and didn't see any sauce, I asked the cashier if I can please have some bbq sauce. He insisted he had put some in the bottom of the bag and didn't want to give me some after I told him. I take his word so I drive to work, when I get to work there is no sauce! I love to eat and enjoy my food with bbq sauce, horrible service.

KFC kentucky fried chicken (store e791052, ontario, ca)

On 6/24/19 at approximately 5:00-5:30 pm, we ordered an 8 piece bucket meal. The chicken was so oily and dried up (it seems like it's been sitting in the warmer for a couple of days), the skin was definitely not crispy nor original because it was tough and gummy. The 2 chicken wings were so tiny that they looked like more of pigeon wings, and of course they are included in the 8 pieces count. Their bathroom was so filthy, it's hard to imagine the hygienic condition of employees returning to work. They have an "A" rating on the window but I highly doubt it's accurate. Never again I or any of my family and friends will be back on that location. I hope it does not apply to other Kentucky locations. Thank you.

KFC chicken tenders

I stopped into your Lake Forrest IL location and had many of selections of restaurants to choose from!
I was going to go to Popeye's but decided to give KFC a try instead.
I like the Chicken Tenders at Popeye's so I thought I would give your tenders a try.
What a mistake! They were not crispy at all and tasted like cold breaded chicken. They were terrible. I ordered coleslaw and got mashed potatoes that were very good!
I will never try these tenders again because I will always think they will taste like this again. I was in a rush to eat so I threw them out and went o Popeye's to eat. Very disappointed customer.

KFC product/service

OnJune 23, 2019 i purchase to set of Snack Plate at KFC Nu Sentral. Unfortunately, one of the set, i received very small pieces of chicken. I'm only realized this after i open the box at home. Not that i have to wait a while because the chicken still cooking, and i'm also truly disppointed when i'm opening the box.

Since this is take away, the outlet should not take advantange to customers' as we can't really see what size of the chicken we will receive until the box is open.

Now i know that in future, i will and must check first if i'm satisfy with my ordered or not before left the outlet.

Please note that it is not worthed for 15.30 MYR since your company have increased the price but still lacking on services and quality of the products.

As previously i worked in food and beverages industry, in case like this, the managers should brief their staffs if received small size of chicken, need to consider to give extra piece eventhough that customer buy for a set of Snack Plate that only consist 2 pieces of fried chicken.

It's not our false that if you all can't supply the standard size of chicken. At least, have some consideration regarding this matter.

Please refers to the photos for evidence. I'm request to REFUND my money of 15.30 MYR. Can contact me at [protected]@gmail.com

KFC quality of food and shift manager

I went in to the KFC in Palatka Fl around 3-4 pm on June 21, 2019, The shift manager who took our order was chewing gum and constantly and consistently popping it while taking our order, we got what we always get $5.00 fill up, thigh, leg with mash potatoes biscuit and cookie, with out even telling us she substituted 2 legs and a wing on one order because they were out of thighs, my order in particular was horrible, the thigh and leg they put on the plate was old, the coating was so hard I could not eat it, the place in and of itself was unclean, the tables not wiped the floors were terrible, I had looked forward to KFC all day while at work and generally speaking, this place is usually good today however was the exception, I did not even finish my food! I request a refund for our meals, and request that this shift manager be reprimanded for her lack of etiquette and customer service.
Thank-You

I don't know whether you KFC are reading the comments left on hear but I will take it in faith that you do. I am a citizen of the United Kingdom that isn't very united at the moment due to the corruption in the house's of parliament.
I have been a loyal customer of yours since you set up in the UK. For many years I, my family and friends have had many enjoyable meals from your outlets.
In the last 4-5 years I have seen a drastic change in the quality, taste, attitude and cleanliness of the franchise.
Looking at the reviews hear on the USA site I have noticed an uneasy resemblance to what is also happening hear.
I'm not talking about chicken nuggets taking to long to cook as that's just trivial. I am talking about the Quality, Attitude and Uncleanliness of these outlets and the lack of interest in the fact that in a few years KFC will be totally run into the ground along with its past reputation for customer service and quality, and will be no more.
Most of my family and friends are avoiding your outlets as they are so dirty and aggressively staffed.
There was a time a few years ago when Head office of a multi national company would investigate the complaints and allegations made about their outlets and make changes whether training or removal of staff and problems.
But now it seems as if KFC is deliberately trying to put it's self out of business.
I find it hard to understand why a company that has been trading for as long as you have to have thrown everything you've stood for in the past, out of the window. I understand that these outlets are now franchise but their malpractice is going to Finnish the name of KFC.
If me taking the time to right my view and my concern for your business is in vain I am deeply saddened as it appears that these franchise owners are deliberately trying to bring your company down and achieving their goals.
If you would only take the time to investigate these outlets and hold them accountable for not trading in accordance with your contact them maybe you can regain your pride and save your company.
I unfortunately will not be using KFC in the UK again because of this dyer situation and unacceptable uncleanliness but I pray that you seek to take action before you are no more.
Yours sincerely
Mr G

KFC chicken

I ordered a 12 piece bucket meal and the chicken was extremely dried out and absolutely horrible.
It took 15 minutes to even get my food to go and I sat and watched customers leave after waiting more than 10 minutes to even be acknowledged. Some even left.
I came back and complained and brought chicken to them and told them the issue. The lady said their cook left at 7:30 and that's all the chicken that they had. She did offer to give me my money back or more chicken. Spending $36 on a meal is a lot and when the food is hardly edible is even worse.
The restaurant is very unorganized and dirty too. I will not be returning to this location.
It is on Mebane exit in NC. It's a KFC/Taco bell. The grease was terrible too, had a really bad flavor and couldn't taste the normal yummy breading because of it. It also just tasted old.
