KFC

This KFC is simply awful, tried 3 times because it’s nearby and I gave in and I shouldn’t have tried that much… disgusting chicken, must be either a very old piece of meat or chemically engineered stuff or both probably. Surprisingly the Taco Bell that shares the place manages to come up with much better stuff.

Absolutely horrid. Grossly over-​priced, but you have to say at least the prices are posted. But when you get home you expect to have somewhat close to what you ordered. Ordered 8 piece meal with mashed potatoes and corn, supposed to be large sides — got coleslaw and one piece of corn. Totally unhappy with this location. Check anything you buy here completely before you go — unless you like surprises that are not what you paid for. Better yet — don’t visit this KFC location to begin with. Called to complain. They do not answer their phone. Called their corporate line to see if they could put me in touch with the store — no reply after 20 minutes on the phone and waiting a week for a response. Usually pretty tolerant with fast food folks but not this time. Will avoid KFC in the future. Simply not worth the cost or the aggravation when they cannot even manage a simple order.

Yet another unfortunate review about how bad this place is. Can’t seem to get any orders right and I feel badly going back and yelling at someone for not giving me all that I paid for when they aren’t able to fully understand what my problem was. Someone really needs to *buy this place out from under the current owner* as the location is IDEAL.

How can you have a chicken place with no chicken got here at 5:15 they have no original chicken waiter 45 to get chicken they said it would be 15. The worst KFC in town I’m sure the help could care less no apologies nothing! Won’t ever come back to this store!

The Colonel doesn’t know how to do fried chicken anymore. He doesn’t even cook to order. I guess he got lazy… or doesn’t care.
Every so often when I’m down near the Seattle Center I just want to ti down and grab something to eat.
Friday, just before noon, was one of those times. I got the 4-​piece fried chicken combo ($ 10).
The server took the pieces out of a large steel drawer such as those for containing small mammals and entomological specimens, possibly doubling as a crematorium for chickens thrown out at night.
The dessicated chicken breast meat was dry as the Sahara desert, hard and unappetizing. Because I was really hungry, I doused the chicken with packets of the green taco sauce.
The unheated tiny biscuit, without butter (though the server throw in one packet of honey) could have been used as a door-​stop. The mashed potatoes with «gravy» (unheated, too) was the most appetizing part of the meal but could have been part of a frozen dinner.
If you want fried chicken, you’d do better, by far, just to walk to the deli at Safeway a couple of blocks away. The fried chicken there is far fresher and tastier… and at a fraction of the cost. And the servers won’t have the indifferent/​unhappy look on their faces, either.
Good fast food should have to be so difficult to find uptown.
I should have read the other reviews of this KFC on Unilocal

Love chicken tenders at kfc, but too me 20 minutes to get my order! Not conveinient. They told me to wait outside after going through drive through… after 15 minutes I go inside to see whats going on. Three different employees at different times want to see my receipt and each time I have to stop them from walking away with it. Nobody seems to know whats going on… who’s in charge here?!

This KFC /​Taco Bell location is so obviously a franchise — there isn’t any doubt when you see the menu board prices. Can you say GREEDY?
I only go here when I have a coupon, or there is a special on the window.
There used to be a real bitch who takes your order and treats you like crap if you’re a white guy — she is all sweet and nice to women and fellow Hispanics.
This isn’t the worst KFC /​Taco Bell — but it doesn’t call me back, I only come here for a cheap lunch (if I can get it!)

Here’s just the LATEST problem I’ve had while trying to give this KFC one chance after another to redeem itself:
I ordered a 3 chicken strip meal, with cole slaw and BBQ dipping sauce. The barely-​English-​speaking girl then asked me what side item I wanted. I repeated «cole slaw, please,» and told her I wanted it to-​go.
A different barely-​English-​speaking girl notified me a minute later that the biscuits were not ready — I could wait three minutes or substitute «cookies» (plural). I opted for the cookies.
Upon arriving back at work with the bag they had given me, I found:
One (singular) cookie
Zero sporks to eat the cole slaw with.
Zero dipping sauces.
Dear franchise owner: OFFER MORE THAN MINIMUM WAGE SO THAT YOU CAN OBTAIN INTELLIGENT WORKERS.
STAY AWAY from this location!

Worst KFC. Two Weeks in a row I go and they mess up my order. don’t ever ask for no beans or cheese because they won’t do it right anyways. Unless you order exactly what’s on the menu and even then they forget things. I’m tired of trying at this place. I tried to order another item and the person on drive threw didn’t understand so I just said forget it. so now you are losing money. Great job guys you can’t even work in fast
many times do I give this place another shot? I should just go to Ballard for my fast food.

It’s good food but it’s not good fast food. I almost always have to wait 20 min for my order… seems to be the trend for all KFC though but nothing that’d keep me from coming back.

Combo KFC/​Taco Bell. Good for cravings…
I saw another review panning the Taco Bell menu, but my experience is that my Taco Bell orders here have been better than even area standalone Taco Bells. The Taco Bell items have been stuffed to the gills with goodness.

meximelt, large cole slaw, TRIED THE NEW DORRITO TACO, and the toasted wrap. the dorrito taco disintegrates as you eat it. it’s tasty, but they should have made it a harder shell. i’m still a big fan!!!

So bad!!! I can’t speak to the KFC part, but the Taco Bell part is the worst Taco Bell I’ve ever had.
That’s saying a lot. I’ve spent so much money buying food at Taco Bell over the last 30 years, I could’ve put myself through college and grad school. I love Taco Bell.
And I don’t mind the usual substandard nature of TB food. It’s really not even food. But this TB – worst ever, ever, ever!
The meat was OLD, yo. The melted nacho cheese was sick. The taco shells were seriously, seriously stale.
And the best part, my stomach was sick for 2 days afterward.
Avoid the TB section of this place!!!

If I could give this place lower than a 1 I would. I have been here on three occasions and have been dissatisfied every time.
Today, they told me it was going to take 15 minutes for a thigh and breast (crispy style). Isn’t chicken their specialty? When I did get the chicken, it was extremely salty and no napkins were included (okay, this is some greasy chicken. Was the expectation that I was going to wipe the grease on my pants?
Last time I ordered a chulupa from their menu, it said $ 1.99. When I get to the window, my total is $ 3 and change. When was sales tax raised to 33%? When questioned, the guy said oh, chicken or beef is $ 1 more.
The time before that, they were out of two of the three items requested. I asked for a free drink to help me leave satisfied. To no avail.
The staff are not motivated to «go the extra mile» or provide even friendly service.

Best place close by in town to get the INFAMOUS AMAZING LARGE SIZED BOWL OF COLE SLAW!!! So good. So good. So good.
This place is where I go to indulge in my guilty pleasure… COLE SLAW!

Why do people Unilocal corporate fast food places? Lame. Come on people.

It’s Taco Bell. Just an average Taco Bell. Worth going to once a year to eat some processe junk.

Never again will I eat at this dirt hole. They wanted me to sign a receipt that required no signature; when I tried to cancel my order they told me I had to come back when the manager was in the store to cancel the credit card transaction. I left, called my CC company and got a charge back against them.

A Taco Bell two blocks from my work? RAD!!!
Yes, I said rad.
And I can get a gordito AND mashed potatoes with gravy? Awesome!
The new tables inside are also rockin’ it.

I usually don’t review fast food places because we all realize we are going to the screwed every time we venture into an establishment that markets themselves through an dirty old man named «the Colonel» and staffed by people who care about their jobs as much as Britney Spears cares about wearing underpants.
But this KFC is the freaking worst. I’ve been getting differing levels of sub par service but today was the worst. After working day and night for the last week I finally had some time to get training in. I’m in a good mood after getting an 8-​mile run in before I have to get some dinner and then drive back to work. So I stopped by. Their sign says they are open but the door is jammed. Now I know what you’re thinking, maybe I pulled with I should have pushed or pushed when I should have pulled but I did both! After shoving it a few times it was obvious that someone inside probably heard the racket and should have come around to fix it. But nope, they didn’t. So I walk back to my car and get in and drive thru thinking that maybe there’s the infamous douchebag screening mechanism at the door that has kept me locked out both KFC and going on a date this weekend.
Now this is one of the drive thrus where they greeting is a recorded message. In this case there was a deep man’s voice that welcome you and tells you about their 10-​piece meal special for $ 16.99. Yes I realize that a bucket of chicken, 2 large sides and biscuits may be a bit much for a single guy but I’m starving because I just ran. Well I order that meal and the woman’s voice tells me it’s going to be $ 24.06.
So I drive up to the window and tell her that the recording is still saying the meal is $ 16.99 and that I don’t mind paying the extra for it as long as she changes the recording before other people get confused. She shrugs her shoulders, which I take as a big olé «f-​you» and I had over my money. She then informs me that it’s going to be an extra 3 minutes for my fries. Fries? WTF? There are no fries at KFC or in my order. I then realize that she’s referring to the fatty potato wedges I ordered. When I thought it couldn’t get much worse I see the employee walk to the door and unlock it and a guy in the parking lot come walking in.
Being a person who doesn’t like to hold a grudge for a long while I decided to get my frustrations out immediately. So I drove back around the to the front and took out my mash potatoes with the intent of throwing it at the door. Unlikely for me it looks like someone beat me to it. I guess I wasn’t the only unsatisfied customer this week.
