KFC

Went on line to KFC website and they have a «$ 20 family fill up» deal. I went to this location and they said they never heard of it. So as it went, they weren’t participating in that promo and so I left. It’s hard to give a franchise your business when they seem to be greedy and don’t see the logic in participating in these promo deals to generate more business. I specifically went in there for that one advertised promotion, so screw them I thought, after they told me no dice.

I love this place it’s the best ever. Best fried chicken. Better than Louisiana. Speaking of Louisiana, Thomas Jefferson should have never of purchased the Louisina territory because it was unconstitutional. That’s why KFC is better than Popeyes.

The food was okay, but the employees don’t provide customer service. Drive through, I could barely understand the lady that took my order, and she seemed confused while taking it. When I got up to the window, I paid and left after getting my food. Realized when I got home I never received my receipt and didn’t get the food I ordered. The san marcos location provides far better service than here. They go out of their way to repeat my order when telling me my total and they show me everything that is in the bag so there are no questions. They also ask me if i want any sauces with my order. I did not receive this kind of service at the Encinitas location. I will not be giving this location my business again. And I wouldn’t recommend them.

Food was hot here! I got the chicken tenders at the Drive-​Thru and they tasted so good! I was going to get their hot wings but the lady told me the wait would be 9 minutes since they’re all out. Booooo. I do appreciate the heads up though.
She was pretty patient with me as I was studying the menu, since I haven’t been to a KFC for a while.
She didn’t ask me for dipping sauces for the chicken tenders but at least I remembered!
The entrance was a bit weird to find and it’s not the easiest location on the busy El Camino real.
Overall it’s ok.

I noticed the building was very dirty but I stopped in for a quick lunch break as I noticed it was nearly empty inside (2 people). It took a L-​O-​N-​G time to get my order that I had to check twice to see if they were making it & got back to my b office late. :(KFC location fail

Pulled up to the drive through around 9:55 p.m. The lady worker took my order. Then, I sat like a tool at the pick up window for 5 minutes. The place was empty, and no one was responsive to my «Hello, I’m here» communications. Finally, someone inside yelled, «We’re closed.» I would have appreciated either a dash of service or a dash of communication regarding the situation. The workers acted like a lazy bunch of loser a-​holes. There are so many better places to get food and service these days.

We just got the little bit time for lunch. We ordered chicken wings and tenders wich was absolutely amazing and fast. Thanks for team offering fresh foods!

Great food and great coupon offers BUT…
FIX THE AC for C’s sake ! It has been broken for months now and your workers and customers are suffering. I would love to see a suit work an 8 hour shift here during the summer… and you wonder why people are hating on big corporations.

Complete sh*t for a fast food place.
Went through he drive through at night, where it wasn’t busy or had anyone in there eating from this cesspool.
Ordered one order of a quick popcorn chicken, and I ended up waiting on the lazy stupid girl for about 20 minutes just to get it to me through the window. Slow as hell. never again. This place sucks.

Manager on duty is a joke. I paid extra to get breasts and legs in my meal and they gave me thighs instead. She gave me the option to go drive all the way back and return the food and get my money back for the food that is un eaten only, what a joke. or I could buy a whole new 8 piece meal and get it half price like that is going to do me any good at all. I will never be back. Manager did not want to help and said i was talking to loud.

Update: My parents picked up a $ 22 bucket of chicken and as I was pulling apart a chicken breast an extra long black hair was cooked into the crispy batter. It had to have been as long as a ruler and a half or two. It was pretty disgusting. I’m thankful I found it before I actually ate any, but I’m sad j had to throw it away and waste food like that.
No one in my family has extra long black hair, so I know it came from someone working there. YUCK!

Don’t go here if you are on your 30 minute lunch break. They might forget to make your food even if you are the only customer in the restaurant like they did to me.

I live very close to this establishment, and it’s very convenient for me to come here for my weird fried chicken crave. Since it’s super close, I would visit this place at least once a week. My expectation is to get my food and get out as fast as possible.
I visited this place on several occasional and had to waited at least 20 mins for my 6 pieces chicken tender (I actually would usually wait around 10 mins). I remember one of their customer, who was an elderly man with his wife, asked me while I was standing and waiting for my tenders (Yeah, I was waiting there for almost 15 mins at that time), «What’s going on? Do they not have enough staff or something?». I just smiled and said this is what you can expect when you visit this place. Nothing new.
On several occasional, the employees would give me 5 pieces instead of 6 pieces chicken tenders. Do you really think I didn’t know that? You gave me one piece out of six pieces that’s a size of my thumb. I don’t consider that as one piece chicken tender. I call that 5.15 pieces chicken tenders.
The environment is very dirty and very stuffy inside the store. Employees are very unprofessional. I know that the employees want to joke around and have fun, but they need to get the order out (at the very least prep the food and get the order right).
The reason why I give them two stars is because one particular cashier actually have some good customer service skill. After dealing with their bullshit, KFC raised the price of their chicken tender, as well as on everything else… Well, I’m taking my business somewhere else. I had enough giving them my money. It’s not worth it.

I gave in to my kids cries for KFC at dinner time the other day. In the process, I rediscovered I kinda like the Colonel’s extra crisp chicken. I’ve been exposed to too many documentaries about the horrors of mass market fast food to not have a twinge of shame eating it but if I’m honest, every once in a while it can be tasty.

Charged me individually for the order I got. Alex tried to charge me 19.57 for 6 things. Wow. I was like can u make a combo or something and it went down to 13 $. Who does that? I am all about deals… but these people just wanted to go home, which is understandable. I said I wasn’t going to go to a company like this any more and I now remember why I said it. And then as I’m driving out the Alex guy runs out and I almost hit him and he looked at me as if it was my fault. Never again

Had the 5 buck box, and couldn’t even finish it– it was so much food! And the kid working the drive– thru was very friendly and helpful. He even offered to recycle an empty bottle that I had in the car. :)

If you want an absolute guarantee that you won’t get butter with your biscuits (even if you ask) this is the place for you.
We seriously drive up the freeway to the carlsbad kfc.

We go through the drive thru on a Saturday evening about 5:30pm. It was pretty slow so there was no rush ordering or for the lady at the window. We ordered the 8-​piece family meal, including two sides and four biscuits. I asked her to «please put in extra napkins for our picnic.» She did.
Why one star? Because we drive nearly two miles to the beach, lug our chairs down, water bottles, blanket, and KFC! Kids are so excited. The moron at the window didn’t even put in plates, forks, spoons, or knives! Really?! I told her we are having a picnic… moreover people that order drive thru do it on the go!
I guess they think we are supposed to pass around the mashed potatoes and baked beans containers and lap it up like dogs!
I saw some people nearby who had el pollo loco… they had plates and utensils!
I called the on-​duty manager to tell her «thanks a lot for ruining my picnic.» Her name is Katrina and she said that «sorry, we aren’t obligated to offer you plates and utensils.» Well, that phone call was a complete waste. Most managers would have been concerned that they didn’t provide the most basic of tools to the customers to eat the food.
KFC Encinitas blows!

Got talked into picking up take-​out here today. I hate fast food but I do love the Colonel’s biscuits. Ordered the special $ 19.99 Festive Feast, 8 pcs chicken, 2 sides, biscuits, and their new chocolate chip cookies.
I asked the shift manager to double check the order, She did and said it was all there. Got home and they forgot to include the cookies in my order. Ain’t nothing «Festive» about that, especially since KFC is on a push to promote their new sweets.
Fail.

Like twinkies, I don’t think KFC chicken can ever go bad. I’m tired of looking at the red and white bucket with Colonel Sanders mug in my fridge. I swear he winks at me every time I lift the lid to grab a leg.
Said bucket holds original (yummmy) and crispy (crunchy!) with some sidekicks of corn-​on-​the-​cob (+ $ 1 really?), mashed potaterrs and gravy, mac and cheese (FAKE CHEESE — almost movie theater nacho cheese color like), and biscuits.
I like movie theater nachos. I’d eat that cheese as fast as I’d drink the kool-​aid, but on KFC’s mac and cheese? Not so much.
KFC biscuits are some of the best on the planet. Oh ma gah. They don’t necessarily fall apart, but still soft enough to enjoy. WTF @ me Unilocaling KFC.
Mind you, KFC is not part of my regular rotation. I fall off the bucket occasionally, but KFC? I did remembered this joke which caused me to detour and pick up a bucket.
What do girls and KFC have in common? By the time you’re done with the breast and the thighs, all you have left is a greasy box to put your bone in.
Crude. Crass. hahah
Colonel Sanders convinced my taste buds that his 11 herbs and spices were definitely worth the trip. Even more so, KFC claims to have zero (0) transfat now. Don’t all hurry to KFC now.
This visit satisfies my biannual KFC trip. My face is oily. I need to go wash the chicken outta my face.
