KFC

I don’t think this KFC is closed. I came here just a couple months ago and have been coming here since 2010. They tend to open at various hours due to their crappy staff of Indian and African people who don’t speak English well and constantly mess up your order. There’s always a long line for KFC and the lines always get mixed up with people waiting to place orders vs people waiting for their food.
I’d go to another location but the nearest location is on 14^th street.

I’ll say this for the record: I’ve never been a fan of KFC.
That being said, I have been to KFCs that were at least decent. Unfortunately, this is not one of those places. The food is «meh,» and the service is at best indifferent, and at worst totally incompetent (and we’re talking about a counter, not table service).
If you are looking for a quick bite to eat, walk by this place to the many $ 1/​slice pizza places, or walk down to the food court in the basement of Grand Central. The food court is a bit overpriced, but at least the food and service are much better.

They get 1 star because I eventually did get the meal. Staff don’t know the menu or the way to order it for you, other staff were arguing about whether it is acceptable to slap customers or not. Plus KFC is gross I found out in the USA, Australian KFC is nice breast fillet burgers with lettuce and mayo, not this grub, processed chicken with some yellow crap sauce

This KFC is awesome. Mainly because it is built on top of the thunderdome and is roommates with Timmy Ho’s. And they give extra gravy on command.

Tip: Come at 11:15 AM and you’re guaranteed to get fresh Original Recipe chicken. Otherwise, it’s hit or miss. And this ain’t your Ohio’s or Singapore’s KFC. no, it’s likely to be a few notches down.
That’s all this review will say. If you’re reading this because you’ve never been to a KFC before, you should be doing other things aside from going on Unilocal

This is pretty much one of the worst KFC places you can go to. It is food that is way overpriced just because you are in Manhattan. You can buy the famous bowl with the potatoes and corn for $ 2.50 cheaper in brooklyn. That is pretty crazy to me, I had a friend say him and his company just bought 20 pieces of chicken straight up once and it was over $ 100, so sides or anything else. how is that cool? It is still just KFC, not real chicken and it can’t even be called Kentucky Fried Chicken anymore. They do still take the coupon if you have one.

I ordered a takeout order of boneless 2 piece combo with a diet pepsi, mac and cheese, coleslaw, bbq sauce and hot sauce. I received a bone in combo that looked pre-​eaten with room temperature pepsi (with no ice), no sides and no bbq sauce. When I asked for bbq sauce, I was told they had none, and was then charged 27c when I asked for honey mustard sauce instead. My server Ada M could not have been less interested in serving me.

Its fast food.
What would u expect.
But its not cheap.
$ 9 for two small boneless chicken stripes, wedges (fries), a biscuit and a medium drink.
Maybe its midtown prices.
Good thing that they took the BOGO coupon.

Typical KFC. Workers are at least (or seem to be) a little more competent than McDonald’s. I just come here whenever I need quick food and only get their famous bowl. Love it.

Dear KFC Employees,
Learn how to do your job!
I arrived today at 11:15am. You were all standing around the back twiddling your thumbs. I tried to get one guy’s attention to see if I could order. He said someone would be with me in a minute even though NO ONE was doing anything. A few minutes later, that same guy decides to come to the cashier and take my order.
I place my order, he prepares it, and I hand over my credit card to pay. He says he doesn’t know how to process a payment via credit card or even use the cashier, so I have to wait for the manager. The customer after me in line asks him how much it is for some chicken and some sides. Again, he doesn’t know because he can’t use the cashier.
He goes to the back and alerts the manager that a customer needs to pay. She comes to the front, and I am finally able to pay for my food.
ARE YOU SERIOUS?!

Confusing line formation. Employees hate the world so bad, and I’m not eating real chicken. What the heck am I doing here?

The lines are super confusing… There are 3 registers. and instead of there being 1 line that everyone waits in, there are three… and the register person at the Tim Hortons (sharing the space) directs people to the 3^rd line… Either way… was standing in line for about 20 minutes… with only 3 people in front of me… not sure if the person working my register was the slowest person on earth, but the customers she were certainly the most inattentive/​picky.
Anyway, the food was fine… nothing stood out and nothing particularly bad, but the long wait in line was not worth the almost $ 20 for 10 HBBQ wings and a large side of mashed.

Too many choices, I’ll take the original.

Everytime I go in here I ask myself «why am I back?» There is always at least one rude customer who wants to start an argument or fight. There literally almost was a fist fight in here once. People are always complaining about the line which is in actuality 3 lines. The food is just fine, at least.

Quick, painless ordering (aside from the register confusion). Where else can you go smack in the middle of lunch rush hour to not stand in a massive line, order food and get it hot and walk out with it in under 5 minutes? Not many places.
We felt like being bad (hey its Friday) and getting some KFC for lunch while we were out running errands. The pot pie is soooo good. They didn’t skimp on chicken or veggies. Tons of carrots. I can’t believe I never had it before today. I was missing out. But not anymore!
PS — sweet sporks!

Hey guys, When will you be open again?

This is the most surreal fast food franchise I have ever been in, besides that weird Taco Bell in the back of a deli on 3^rd Ave. It’s always kind of confusing and you’re being inundated by donuts simultaneously as the greasy scent of fried chicken wafts over.
And whenever I order, I feel like I’m participating in some donkey with pots and pans clanging to its side old fashioned bartering system. If I want two sides I have to forfeit my soda. If I want a soda, I can only have one side. Is this normal? Sometimes you get a biscuit, sometimes you don’t. I suggest trying to play the cashiers at rock-​paper-​scissors for the stakes of a complete meal and hope you come out the winner.
