KFC

Dining area was disgusting! No clean tables when we got there & no employees made any effort to clean dining room during our visit of 45 minutes. Food was ok, but buffet was just as bad as far as cleanliness. Can’t imagine the restrooms! Skip this one!

Worst KFC ever. Cold, tasteless food on buffet. Nasty restrooms. Untrained kids at the counter. Drink area was horrible. This was absolutely the worst experience ever with KFC, it is also the last time I stop here.

This KFC has a Buffet!
I stop at Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) from time to time for that «finger lickin’ goodness.» There are plenty of KFCs near my home in NH where I’ll sometimes stop for lunch or to pick up a bucket of extra crispy chicken and sides for dinner. I am the Duke of the KFC near my workplace.
However, after driving along I-​40 in Knoxville, there was a hard to miss billboard along the interstate advertising All You Can Eat Buffet at the KFC Exit 398. On my recent trip, I also drove past several KFCs with buffets in VA, NC, and SC. I haven’t been to a KFC Buffet since they offered it at KFC locations in Upstate NY in the 1990s, where I frequented the buffets at the former Guilderland and Poughkeepsie KFC locations in particular.
This KFC location is conveniently located off I-​40 Exit 398 (southside) next to the TDOT facility. This restaurant with drive-​thru offers the standard KFC menu items, plus the AYCE Buffet (including drink) for $ 8.29 (adults), $ 7.29 (seniors) and $ 5.29 (kids), dine-​in only, prices in 2013.
The Colonel’s Buffet is setup at the counter past the registers, which offers a decent selection of hot and cold items including fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, chicken pot pie, green beans, carrots, mac & cheese, biscuits, macaroni salad, potato salad, slaw, cottage cheese, canned fruit, garnishes, chocolate pudding, vanilla pudding, fruit cobbler (crisp), and more. You’re given plastic plate (s) after you pay then help yourself. Ask for a clean plate on return trips to the buffet. The food was the standard tasty and filling KFC fare, nothing fancy. The buffet was stocked good around lunchtime.
I wish the Buffet was brought back to more KFC locations in the northeast (there are a few in CT & ME), but I’d probably make it a habit to eat at KFC more than I should.
I think it’s time for a Gameday Bucket!
