KFC service

March 13, 2019. Bad, bad, rude counter server waited on me as I picked up my take out order. After saying "Here is your order ma'am", she literally yelled "NO, NO, NO that is not your order!"...when I checked the bag on the counter to see if it was my order. She then kept repeating this tirade. She embarrassed me and my husband with her attitude and rude behavior. She finally gave me the correct bag and slapped the cup down with "this goes with it". As it turns out, a lady sitting at a table had ordered take out also, but was not at the counter at the time. The counter server needs to be taught good human relations. I wouldn't suggest this KFC to anyone.

KFC no service

Yesterday March 13th 2019 my wife & I had been visiting a patient at the local Hospital it was early evening and on our way home which is about 50 miles we decided to eat at KFC 10103 Dixie Hwy, & Valley Station Road in Valley Station Ky. I realize it was off time about 3:30pm. the restaurant was open we waited for at least 10+ minutes to be waited on there were at least 3 employees talking and milling around and we were never recognized as being present. There were a few cars at the drive thru and maybe 6 persons eating eating inside. I finally asked if they were open for business a woman in the rear of the kitchen ask what i said so I repeated myself. She told me if we were not happy with the service to go elsewhere. So we left we're not ones to expect special treatment but we found this to be rude and with their attitude harmful to your business. Just felt you needed to know about the service they rendered. I'm 84 and wife is 80 years old we love KFC but if this is tolerated we won't be eating there again

My wife and I decided to stop at this KFC store on Dixie Hwy. in Valley Station, Ky. We were told that they only had thighs and legs. They were out of biscuits also. The gentleman in front of me was very upset over not having any breast meat. He ordered something else and when his order came out it was wrong. While I was standing in line to order two senior buffets another lady came up and was very upset about her order and demanded her money back. I like to try to give grace as much as possible but I and my wife have had enough. We stop here every Wednesday night to get a bucket of chicken to take to our potluck dinner at church. About 3 different times they did not have what we ordered and had to make it up with legs. Enough is enough and we will not be eating here anymore. We will also help spread the word of the way things are done here. This is very poor customer service. I guess we will be going more often to Chic-fil-a. I applaud them for not being open on Sunday and understand why. We do get better service and product there.

KFC cold chips, flat coke from soda fountain.

After told we had to wait for fresh chicken fillets we received our burgers with fresh fillets, but that was just about thw only thing that was fresh... wilted lettuce and tomato, our chips were cold and Flat Cole from soda fountain... after we reported this to the managares we were told that she spoke to the quality control person Floors and that he said everything was fresh... Quite frankly I am at a loss for words... it is a hit and miss with this KFC. One good meal, two bad and so the saga continues...

First, I should never have gone there because they DO have a bad reputation for Rude Service, incorrect orders & extremely long waits. But I took my chances, that I now REGRET. Also when I submitted my poor review, I couldn't believe how many people had also complained about the same problems I had. I guess this owner doesn't care what people think or say...

KFC the facility

Dear KFC, I am cutting and pasting what I posted on FB today. We went to your store in Cairo, Ga today March 3, 2019 around 2:00. They weren't terribly busy, but it took a while to be waited on, and a while to get our food. It was downhill from there.
The Trip Out to Eat - a short story by Joy Mudry
Today JR wanted fried chicken. Dad's favorite food? Fried chicken! I don't have to cook and clean up? Fried Chicken it is! So we drive to Cairo, where really good fried chicken is made. CLOSED. Oh well, JR spots KFC, his very favorite because of the chicken bowl. And now the story really begins. First, the card reader doesn't work. We start hunting for the cash we never carry. Suddenly the card goes through. Only took 4 tries. We get our drinks. Yuck! Only Pepsi products. Ok, I can do this. Get our food. JR had also ordered 4 drumsticks, extra crispy. He asks, "Where are my drumsticks?" "Oh sorry, We're out of extra crispy. Is regular ok?" "Sure, no problem, " he replies. The he asks the girl at the counter, "Where are the utensils?" "Oh sorry, we're out." KFC, whose specialities include mashed potatoes and gravy, cole slaw, and the famous chicken bowl has no utensils. SERIOUSLY?! I asked her how we're supposed to eat. She giggles and says, "Oh, they're delivering some." They didn't. JR gets in the car, goes a block to the McDonalds and get utensils. Plus a parfait. We ate, I can feel my hands swelling due to the amount of salt. We clean up, try to throw the trash away (the can is full), and get ready to leave. Now as most of you know, JR has short-gut syndrome so after he eats, he usually has to go to the restroom. He went in, he came out. It was filthy! He said he thought Eisenhower was the President the last time it was cleaned.
The moral of this story: Don't go to KFC in Cairo, Georgia
Sorry, hope it made you laugh. We sort of did! LOL
My son loves KFC. I have to say that I really never have, but today's experience would really turn me off of it forever. I had to wipe the table down before we could sit down. My son and husband like Pepsi, but people who know me know I don't. I don't really want anything from this, except to let you know that this restaurant has poor management, and poor employees. There really is no excuse for a dirty food facility, dirty restrooms, overflowing trash cans, and running out of basic supplies such as utensils, or whatever they needed to make extra crispy chicken. But if you want to refund what we spent, send it to my son John. He has Cystic Fibrosis and needs all the extra food he can eat.

KFC service

Went to KFC Parow Centre today to get a Krusher, stood in the line for about 15 to 20 minutes, got to the till and the guy told me they don't have Krushers... I asked him if they can at least put a notice or something up stating they don't have Krushers before anyone stands in a long line, and the guy just said sorry... then my hubby and I decided we will go to KFC close to the airport, hubby stood in the line for about 15 minutes, got to the till and the lady told him that they don't have Krushers as well. My husband asked if they can at least put a sign up or something before customers stand in a long line and the lady responded by saying... 'But you didn't ask'... What kind of response is this?... Very bad service from KFC today!

KFC vomited 5 times

On the 26th February 2019, my partners went and got two of the 9 pieces deal. When we returned home there were only 7 pieces in each box this is not acceptable. Two hours later after eating two pieces of the chicken I vomited 5 times. Upon looking at the remains I found one piece to have fresh blood coated on the bone and didn't look cooked very well. I would like compensation back for the missing chicken and also for the raw food being sold causing me sickness.

Please send your final response to :

Couldn't you talk to the manager of that location about your concerns. I'm pretty sure nobody from KFC corporate monitors this site to address your complaint here.

First off let me say that I have always been a fan of KFC, especially when it started the grilled chicken option since I try to eat healthy with minimal cheat days. I have been to the Granbury, TX USA location three times. I have only been three times because the chicken is very poor quality. -Soggy breading/inconsistency -dried out/shriveled/shrunk skin...

Good evening, I'd like to give some feedback on my recent experience at the kfc on w11th in Eugene Or. My feedback is for the employees and the way they handled a particular incident as well as quality of food. On Feb 20 2019 my family of 5 dined in for dinner during the 7pm hour. We placed our order and waited quite some time. I watched as the drive thru...

I went and ordered a number 12 which consisted of a Popcorn Nuggets Combo: Wedges & Medium Drink. I ended up getting the potato wedges, a biscuit and cole slaw but NO chicken. So I went back and told them that I didn't get what I ordered, I got NO chicken. The girl at the microphone proceeded to tell me that I was lying and that they did give me what I...

KFC poor quality of product

Bought a Zinger box meal from KFC Albany Road, Port Elizabetbh and shocked at the quality of the item i received for the amount i paid..This is not the 1st time but probably more like 6th time of poor quality.. So i am really starting to think i should stop supporting KFC and advise my friends and family to do the same if this continues. KFC staff in general at most branches i noticed displays very poor customer service

Every time I go to kfc I want to get the $20 meal deal that is advertised on television and online. But every time I go they say it is $23.99 because they are a franchise restaurant. Aren't all kfc restaurants franchise? They say since they are a franchise, they can charge what they want and I think that is a ripoff. Curfew wilson [protected]@yahoo.com

KFC street wise 2

I have been complaining i'm even tired but I want my money back..
Fix is the worst when it comes to customer service.. I ordered street wise box the r30 meal via drivethru... When I got to the last window they told me there are no wings. I asked them to get me street wise two instead... They have me the meal without a receipt... I requested a free meal as stated on the window that if I dont get a receipt... My meal is free.. The manager called the supervisor... Who started shouting without even greeting me... I have never felt so victimised as I speak I didn't get any meal or my money back.

The supervisor by the name of zulu literally walked away.. Funny thing is I wasn't even ffighting with him... He started explaining the story to other customers making me a laughing stock..
I hate kfc with my whole life.

Please pay back my hard earned money.
