KFC

Weak honestly. food wasn’t really that good versus other kfc

What is everyone tripping about? Why people tripping about bad service and shit. What do u expect? This is a kfc in a shitty part if town. I came here w no expectations today and actually thought the service and quality was pretty damn good. The quality and service is better than the kfcs in the suburbs. You entitled nerdy twats should come here and dont act like assholes and maybe u might get good service too

KFC it’s a good food but this place in specific it’s horrible, don’t have good smell and for complete this review I wanna say the customer service it’s rude, so I went to this place and she said how I can go there if I can’t speak English very well, so well I’m from Brazil, and I’m learning English now, I’m student and I can’t eat here? Just because I don’t know the pronunciation of what I wanna? This is because before I had said sorry to her for can’t said very well what I wanted, but anyway can I put zero stars?

Non-​americans beware: huge portions! I could only manage to eat half of my bucket and the chicken wings are 3 times the European size

This is just terrible — I think that they cleaned their fryer and didn’t rinse it out well because the chicken smelled and tasted like that strong blue bathroom floor cleaner you smell in public restrooms. Left a weird soapy aftertaste. Are they trying to poison us? Wtf… I mean I know it’s the TL but come on…

This place is ghetto. The ladies, if you wanna call them that, are disgusting and mind you I’m black myself.

Service was good last time I went. I came in with a coupon and the cashier gave me an even better deal than the one on the coupon.
It’s not KFC’s fault, but there was a homeless man in line in front of me who smelled like piss and could barely stand up. If dogs aren’t allowed in food establishments for health reasons, this man certainly shouldn’t have been allowed. Spending $ 5 on fried chicken and soda when you’re literally living in the streets and there’s free food for the homeless throughout SF? Reinforces the idea that there’s no such thing as poor people, just poor money choices.
Luckily, he was the exception, and the slow line contained a decent proportion of normal people to drugged out/​crazy homeless people. Almost 1:1! Thank goodness. Gentrification can’t come fast enough to this location.

My friend and I were craving KFC after a walk/​jog so we headed by the one closest to home. This one is not in the best area and the clientele are a bit interesting. I saw the comments of the other reviewers, but I thought the cashier was really trying to provide good customer service and helped us pick the right meal combo to suit our needs. They did run out of regular Pepsi and were low on coin change, but they gave us lots of hot sauce, butter, honey and ketchup and lots of patience so I could not complain. I would come back, especially since this one is the closest to me.
I brought my $ 20 fill up meal for my bf and I including both white and dark meat original, mash potatoes and gravy, coleslaw and corn on the cob, and it was all so yummy! It covered us for lunch and diner the following day. We were happy!

Portal to the netherworld? TL x KFC = HELL
On my way to the gym I was totally starved and didn’t want to work out on an empty stomach so I thought I’d swing by kfc and get a drumstick for some cheap protein.
WRONG choice. I immediately step into some ghoulish other world where the patrons look like they’re near death or recently departed. The guy in front of me in line looked like Keith Richards in a hundred years and was accompanied by a woman (??), wearing a big ratty blonde wig and some moth eaten pink dress, who stood there stiffly like a propped up skeleton. There was a kid seated at a table with his hoodie zipped up all the way, backwards, with the hood covering his face, while he dragged his hooded head back and forth over the table.
Scary does not begin to describe this place. Run away!!!

We went here after the pride parade a few minutes before 9pm. We were done placing our order when the manager suddenly placed a «Closed» sign by the door and turned some of the store lights off. When we asked if we can still dine in, we were denied. I just thought we should have been told prior to placing our order. Then, when we reached the hotel, we found out we were lacking 1pc chicken in one of our orders. Service sucks. The place is pretty dirty too. If I can give negative stars, I will…

Horrible Pot Pie. The person who made this needs to know that these are not eatable due to the about of salt that she/​he added! I had never tasted anything that salty before.

Where’s the nearest one from work?
Yes, here and parking isn’t that difficult either.
A friend’s fried chicken craving drew me here.
After buying something at the Walgreen’s up the block, I walked here and ordered my usual suspects for myself.
Crispy taco supreme (
). Check.
Cole slaw. Check.
Apple turnovers (
). Check again.
Coming on a Monday, was able to score on their daily special too (
).
Please bear in the mind the neighborhood is sketchy, being in the Tenderloin. Wouldn’t stop by here after dark unless necessary. Brenda’s is just a few doors down so this can be a pre-​meal snack for those growling stomachs. If you work downtown or near Civic Center/​City Hall, this is the closest one. I usually stop at the Geary and 6^th Ave. one, but, on this day, this location made sense.

This Kfc/​Taco Bell is really ghetto! Bad area and poor service!
The location itself makes it hard to be in because the area attracts a bad crowd, currently there is human shit on the outside wall and the sidewalk of this location. There is always ghetto loud people in here that look and act like they’re on drugs, and they smell horrible. Most of the employees look like they’re on drugs as well, crack I was assume. They don’t treat customers well, they get the orders wrong all the time and they give you attitude, they always seem annoyed when I’m at the register just giving them a simple order. Most people hate their jobs, I get it but you don’t have to give me attitude for it. They’re slacking off here a lot too, they’re on their phones a lot, always getting simple orders wrong. This is also not much of a Taco Bell, they don’t even have Baja Blast. I wouldn’t recommend going here, unless you have a real craving for it… Because it is the only one in the area… Sadly.

Walked to the counter the guy working was on the phone. He hung up after over a minute of me just standing there. He then asked if I was ready, and i said yes. He then called over the other guy and they just started talking to each other. I left after a couple minutes of just standing at the counter looking at them and them looking at me. It was bizarre

This place is a bit tired, even for the KFC Taco Bell brand. The posters in there are like vintage 1990’s throwbacks with a bit of age-​old residue from the fryers. I was surprised to learn that the Gordita meal, #6, has insanely increased about 200% in purchase price. I thought these were $ 6.50−7.80, now they are running about $ 11.80. Seems really strange, unless this is a boutique location. I’m not even talking about the plus sized drink y’all. I got the chicken, noting that is an upgrade. The chicken was a bit dry and seemed older than a day truly. The overall was ok, but a bit disappointing as I still needed to run across the street to Subway to complete my appetite.
What sort of kills the experience is the venue, location, and experience. The workers seemed a bit slow and made me not exactly trust the product that was coming my way. I’ll give them a pass on the whole «plagued by street people» portion as this goes without saying for anything near this location — KFC cannot be held responsible for that. A lot of these businesses need to reach out to the city for a bit more of a hand with controlling the substance abuse problems and vagrancies that plague their businesses, but I’m sure that’s been harped on for years with little response.
You would just think that KFC, TacoBell, Subway would have some lobbying power with the high-​profile campaign donation interest system that Ed Lee currently runs in San Francisco, but I guess they didn’t make the right contributions to get the cronies to strong arm and protect this location. Dang, you would think that running a business would be a good thing for the city. But if you don’t have Twitter money there are no protections.

Every single person in line got 5 STAR
service from Chrissy who was taking orders
with such customer respect and patients.
Give this girl a big fat raise!!!

Every time I see a Taco Bell/​KFC the same joke pops in my head.
[ghetto voice] «I WORK 2 JOBS!» [/​ghetto voice]
That, coupled with the fact that there is never a dull moment in this location, warrants a review.
I work in this neighborHOOD so, if you know the area well enough, options are in your favor. Everything from banh mi, food trucks, phở, power exchange… you name it, its here. And on those days you don’t feel like making an executive decision and your palate is feeling feisty, some greasy ass KFC will fit the bill.
I wont review KFC or Taco Bell… this review is strictly about the experience that this location offers.
10÷28÷14 — 12:31pm: it’s a Tuesday. You know song «club going up on a Tuesday?». Well, CB must have missed the fact that KFC offers a 2 piece for $ 1.99 on Tuesday. You have every walk of life in here; suits, techies, homeless, more homeless, dogs?, and just some questionable characters.
I walked in with a life half way out the door, every one in dire need of some chicken. To my left, a toothless woman dancing to Cher. To my right, a hefty lady in sweatpants and a tank top yelling at a worker for more hot sauce and behind me a guy wearing google glasses (see: glasshole)… You cant make this stuff up.
I challenge you to order and eat in house, the circus continues. Within a 10 minute span, I was asked for change twice, some guy blaring yung joc on his phone, and I think some old Chinese lady farted in front of me.
Now, is a sanitary restaurant is one of your non-​negotiables, keep walking down to Brenda’s. If you want lunch and a show without spending those silly asiaSF prices… come here. In fact, I think I’ve seen some asiaSF «ladies» in line waiting on tacos.
God I love you, SF.

This has to be the worst KFC in the entire city and by far the worst chicken I’ve ever eaten. I’ve been to several other KFCs in the city but decided to give this one a try since it’s now closest to my apt. Big mistake!
First, they forgot to give us a small wedges we ordered but we didn’t want to go back. We got 20 hot wings, which were extremely dry and the batter was disgusting like it had been reheated or refried 10x. We also got the 4pc grilled chicken which was also dry and tasteless. Their corn also isn’t on a stick like other KFCs, just wrapped in foil.
Can’t forget to mention the drug dealing that goes on in their 2 car parking space area. If you’re craving KFC, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT GO TO THIS ONE! Go a little further to another one and thank me later.

Oh! And some random guy with no uniform serving himself some chicken and a biscuit! You can see the plate between these two on the counter.
He came from the back and was holding either some nachos or a all in one bowl.
Either way this dude was hanging out in the back touching things here and there, coughing opening the food.

We all know how this story goes right?
But I digress, KFC is not Taco Bell and Taco Bell isn’t KFC. They may share the same roof and counter, hell, even the same workers, but hardly one in the same. Do I really feel like the late colonel’s basket over the same snoozefest of Taco Bell? Tenderloin standards, that’s a yes.
To eat KFC here happily is one thing, but to settle for it is the more likely scenario. When all the shops of the wonderful Little Saigon are closed, guess who’s open? KFC. You can’t stomach the wait at Brenda’s (
), who’s just around the corner? KFC. When you feel like getting your fingers disgustingly greasy and touching the same surfaces that have graced many a hobo in the most unflattering scenarios imaginable, who’s up for it? That’s right baby, KFC.
There is no glory in eating here. Merely stories meant to be told for later. I could share many wonderful accounts that range from craziness to straight up absurd, but that’s to be written for another date.
In the meantime, I can reveal that I had my first and only Double Down Sandwich (
) here and clearly, I lived to tell the tale.
Ok, one weird story: I witnessed a guy tweaking out and managed to order himself a family sized bucket of chicken. After tossing a wad of crumpled up dollar bills on the counter he looked like he was doing the robot dance, except he was hopping up and down. When his chicken was ready and on the counter, he took the entire bucket with him and went into the restroom and locked the door. My group and I waited for close to 30 minutes, hoping for something epic. He never came out.
