KFC Streetwise 2 piece box

We went to the Kromboom Road branch in Cape Town.
To say the food was inferior is an understatement, it was so bad my dog wouldn't eat it.
The chicken was mushy, with a brownish flesh, tasteless.
It was fried or cooked with old oil flavor not even edible, it was nauseating.

The chips oh my word, it doesn't even deserve a mention, it was probably fried re-warmed a few times. It was dark brown, dry to a point you choked on it, only good to throw in the trash.

I do not want vouchers, a new order... No... I want to make people aware not to buy from Kentucky Kromboom Road, they don't know the 1st thing about quality food & service.

Desired outcome: None

KFC Hot Wings

I really want to compliment James Gamble (spelling?) at the Kentucky Fried Chicken on 6th avenue in Tacoma Washington 98405. I went to the store on August 25 at approximately 7pm. I ordered 24 piece hot wing. When I got home the chicken was a hard as rock. It had been left out for hours. I couldn't go back yesterday, but I called this morning and James Gamble was so professional. He told me he'd be happy to replace it. I went to the store on my lunch and he did replace it. He cooked it himself and it was fresh and wonderful. But mostly I was so impressed with his customer service because he is very young man. At least he appeared to be very young. I am all impressed with the customer service I received yesterday. I don't know if the chicken can be removed after a certain amount of time, or maybe they cooked to much but it should never be sold in that condition. I would appreciate if you would please let Mr. James Gamble know how much his customer service changed my view about that particular store.

Desired outcome: I want James to be thanked for replacing the chicken and being so nice.

KFC food

I don't understand what's happening with KFC food. It used to be the best 'fast food' on the market and now it's completely inedible. I went to my neighborhood KFC on Bridgeport way, Lakewood, WA (August 24, 2021 @ 4:30 pm.) and it was closed, so I went to the one on Steilacoom Blvd. in Lakewood (now 4:40 pm) and ordered two single popcorn chickens, family size coleslaw and one biscuit. I told the girl that I did not want any old stale popcorn bits and she said no problem. I paid $20 for the food. When I got home, I opened them up and the popcorn chickens were a very dark brown and hard as rocks! A lot of them were the dried bits that contain no chicken (exactly what I said I didn't want in my order). I just threw away $20! Now this is the last time I will go to KFC as this seems to happen whichever KFC I go to, including the one on 6th Ave, and Division in Tacoma, WA. I thought if I went to different ones, they might be different, but no.

Desired outcome: I want a refund! You also need to retrain all your managers who can retrain all your employees or you will go out of business.

KFC Judgement

I am seeking monies owed to me from a court case in Virginia.

GV16019625-01-Lee v. Lee-Garnishment Show Cause

The case was decided in my favor. This major corporation is now prolonging paying me. I am trying to settle this for just the award amount, but if it continues I will seek more to include all servicing fees and interest. My next steps will be involving the news and social media.

Desired outcome: Payment within 5 business days

Trying to bad mouth them on social media isn't likely to get you anywhere.

Contact the court system you filled in for your judgement. They can serve them to show up in court and comply with a discovery procedure, allowing both you and the court to know where their money and assets are. You can then lien or garnish such assets to fill the judgement. If they don't show up or disclose such information, (he/she/they) can have a warrant signed out for arrest.

You can only have your judgement amended with the court's approval.

KFC Delivery

Ordered a 12 pc boneless feast and didn't get the popcorn chicken! My eldest son only eats popcorn chicken! It's quite expensive anyway but to not get it is terrible! As we live 5 minutes away from the store on Sutton road Maidstone Kent I called them as I could have run down I got it myself! I tried to explain this to the lady on the other end of the phone ! She was rude in reply telling me because it's a 3rd party company I would have to contact them ! I'm devastated for my son who has gone without as all you can do with just eat is request a refund! Order number is [protected] .

Desired outcome: Apology to my son ! Retraining for the lady on the phone

KFC Delivery Order

Last night I ordered 1 zinger box together with a zinger sandwich for delivery; however my order was incomplete. I had complained immediately to the customer care center and they said they will send the rider right away. Still I had to call again a couple of times without any luck and then slept. Then in the morning I complained again and the same thing was repeated.

This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I went through the drive-thru and I knew I should have kept it moving. Requested 6 Kentucky Fried Wings plain. These wings were tasteless, meatless, they gave me all the crust you can ask for. The last two seemed as if they were under the light well past the sale time. 6 Kentucky Fried Wings are very expensive for what you receive. I actually can't find my...

On August 16, 2021 I went into the KFC located at Hall Street in Concord, NH. As I was waiting to place my order, I saw the employee who had been taking orders and working the register while wearing gloves, proceed to go over and, using the same gloves, grab the chicken by hand to fill an order. I found that to be very unsanitary and decided I would NOT...

KFC Customer service

When giving us our order, they gave one person the wrong drink, forgot another one and we had to remind them. They also forgot to add salt, napkins and wipes to the bag which we didn't realise until after we left so we couldn't eat anything until we got home as it would have been too messy and by then everything was cold. Also for some reason, they made us pay two separate transactions for our collective order.

KFC I am complaining against the service of your delivery boy

I wanted to register a complaint against one of your delivery boys who came to deliver my order on 09th Aug 2021 at EnerMech Qatar, Salwa Industrial Area, Street no24, gate no 1. The delivery boy's mob number is [protected]. He reached at 10:48 am and called me. I asked him to wait outside and come to collect the order. He called me again and when I reached at 10:52am to collect the order, he shouted at me, just waiting there for 4 minutes. Please do not send such delivery boys again. He was very rude and behaved unprofessional. Please don't send this type of delivery boys again.

Thank You

KFC The chicken

Hi,

I'm Ally from Mauritius island, please note that KFC Mauritius is actually not using appropriate oil for the making of fried chickens. I Have eaten a lot of kfc around the world ( Australia/ Uk/ France/ India),
But the pieces in Mauritius are really oily which is discusting. Even many people ask them why, They say it's the recipe. You should do something about it. KFC MAURITIUS is ruining the KFC brand.

Thanking you in advance, hope things will change.

KFC Service and food is never ready for drive-thru

Musina KFC Drive-thru. The food is never ready, when they run out of something, they only then want to start making new ones. They don't know how to manage. They don't understand that when something is close to finish they must already have new ones ready. And most of the time they are out of stock. They just say they don't have it, it's finish and that they still need to order it.
How is this right.
And it's a drive-thru but when they need to give you your food they tell you to go and park somewhere and wait like 15 or 20 minutes.Don't they understand how it works to manage a drive -thru

Desired outcome: We always need to wait!!!!

KFC Service

Grove City OH 665
Staff refused to acknowledge customers in drive thru for over 30 min. Doors locked on Sun 7/31/21 during business hours. No one would even look or acknowledge anything. Teens only working. Why open a store to not serve anyone? If doors closed due to Covid no signage was posted stating that. Other customers waited behind us and left as well.

I'm writing because the location in Muscatine has been unwilling to replace a bad fryer (as was told to me last year when my order was toxic tasting due to oil that had broken down which causes a toxic oil.) once again we're unable to eat the chicken with horrible toxic taste & miserable nearly meatless dried up chicken fingers.
