KFC

I was lured by KFC’s Nashville spicy promotion.
This convenient location is on Cobb Parkway just outside of I-​285. I did the drive thru. Watch OUT for the big pot holes under the window.
I got the box lunch with 2 pieces, cole slaw and a biscuit. With the tax, it was just under $ 6. I was eager to get my fingers on them but they were already cold only 10 minutes later. Bummer. I don’t eat fried chicken but once a year or two.
Here’s the DL.
— Nashville spicy chicken
(not spicy but salty & really greasy)
+ Price
++ Cole slaw (yummy)
— Biscuit
— Drive thru (pot holes)
= Service
Besides their cole slaw, the whole experience was disappointing.

We chose this location to dine in because they have a buffet option. Which is a huge mistake in this place. To start off, the chicken (both fried and grilled) were so dry! The biscuits tasted horrible (I usually LOVE the KFC biscuits). The music in the dinning room was non existing and made it awkward. The lady who works here was rude, there is no sign on the steam table to let us know to wait while they put a tray in for us to continue serving ourselves and she just screamed and sarcastically said we would burn our hands if we didn’t wait. The dinning room was dirty with greasy floors (dangerous) and they didn’t mop it after a fellow customer told them about it. Never coming here again I will return to the Marietta location. Hope Corp. fixes this place up & hires new people

Worst KFC experience ever. I’m a KFC Chicken lover but the food is cold, tastes bad and oily at 6 pm in evening. The server are confused about the menu options and food stocks.
Don’t expect Politeness from them, even they so frustrated or in their world that forget to greet you or even show a smile in their face. Rude and louder behaviors of manager.
Avoid this place if you want a pleasant and real KFC meal and experience.

Never Again… went to the KFC today about 1pm, granted it was lunch time but we had to wait about 15 minutes just to give our order. There eas only 1 person taking order and handling the register. Rather ridiculous. Why cand they hire another person to take orders and handle the register. Help this girl out. She was about to lose it. She said lunch time was always like that. It reminded me of Wal-​Mart at the busiest times they never have enough people work the registers.

Service is awful at this location.
Kizzy is a big fat unpersonable idiot. And I don’t mean fat — as in size.
This woman gave me attitude the moment I pulled up. She couldn’t hear me — I guess because of 1) bad intercom and 2) the box truck idling next to me (making deliveries to KFC no less). She was rude and abrupt when I tried to ask about an item I had previously ordered. Then she interrupted me to tell me she couldn’t hear me. When I projected my voice and asked if she could hear me now — instead of answering, she responds in the most tired, annoyed voice, «Ma’am (with audible loud sigh).. . go ahead with your order.»
Exasperated, I finally drove up to the window and someone else (a nice male employee) took my order and told me the price but needed her to override something or turn a key to finish the transaction.
Kizzy came over (shiny with sweat) and told him that my meal only included one side. He said, «Oh! I thought the breast snack came with two sides. Well that was my bad — I’ll take care of it. Just give it to her.»
Now keep in mind — at this point — he had stepped away and was preparing my order (a chicken breast with potato wedges and slaw). He handed it to her and Kizzy took it upon herself to open my box — take out the coleslaw and hand it to me minus the coleslaw.
Does Kizzy realize this is illegal? You cannot tell someone one price — take their payment. Then amend the transaction before delivering the goods.
Kizzy also jammed her big meat hooks — with no food safety gloves into my box which I did not appreciate at all. She had been working the cash register /​handling money previously and doing God only knows what else with those paws.
Icing on the cake: Kizzy is the manager.
Added bonus — she’s wearing long individual braids — pulled up and wrapped in a bun jutting off the back of her big fat head — but no hair net! I don’t care if the hair’s fake — I still don’t want it in or near my food !!!

Drive-​thru speaker sounded terrible. We really had no idea what the woman was yelling. Clearly they were told to yell into it because of the malfunction. When we got to the window she was yelling into the headset it was terrifying. We kind of got what we ordered. It was close enough. Still this place left a lot to be desired.

Where DO they get their chickens? I swear, every time I’ve been here, I get the smallest chicken legs in the free-​range world. If it had a wing, it would try to hide under it from the shame of it all.
Don’t ask for a thigh — I’ve actually been told a whole one doesn’t exist — they simply cut the whole one in ½ and give you ½ a thigh. I didn’t believe it till I saw it.
Poor chicken. Poor, poor, chicken.
I’ve had to wait on this poor chicken, too. Once, they had no biscuits at all (and no customers, either. Did the ½ thigh chicken lose control and hide them or something?) Had to wait at least 30 minutes for my biscuit. The skinny chicken leg was eaten in about 30 seconds, so I slooooowly at my sides (sans biscuit). I ate my small (but hot) biscuit on the way home.
The drive-​through isn’t much better. Never any of this, that or the other and they always want to substitute something.

Now, this is KFC but a review had to go up in regards of a buffet. It isn’t all that bad. Just lose all consciousness: fill your plate with chicken, tatos, throw in their mac & cheese (which is not bad. The buffet is under $ 7, definitely not bad for KFC. Surprised more franchises do not have this and i’m not sure why. I don;t care what any of yall say, they food straight, that’s why they get the grade below.
Grade: C

I’m not proud of what doing a review on KFC says about me. I know what the reality is — I need protein on this diet and for some reason this particular location is close to my house, has late hours and has carb-​less grilled chicken.
The surprise, to me anyway, was the service. Even in the drive-​thru. I don’t know if the good-​manners-​and-​friendliness-​fairy dropped a bomb on them or what, but I just had an incredibly pleasant experience knit-​picking in that late night drive-​thru. Could hear every word at the speaker, got my unusual order 100% correct, then smiled, quickly finished the transaction, and they were 100% accurate. Maybe I won’t slouch so much in the front seat anymore, worried that someone might see me here.

Had one of those «whats for dinner?» «I’m sick of cooking» nights. So ran by KFC after checking their nutritional fact sheet on their website. who knew their Mac & cheese was a healthier option than those biscuits! hmmm… Fried chicken breast sans the skin is the best way to go!.. and although they don’t really advertise it, you can get individual pieces! Oh yah, pass on that chicken pot pie 14 grams of trans fat! yikes!

The KFC Buffet is like an abusive boyfriend. In times of irrationality, when I’m feeling low and the melancholy can only be lanced with a heaping helping of salt and MSG masquerading as 11 herbs and spices, I head for the KFC Buffet. The very trip fills me with shame and I know I deserve better. I glop on my plate the «mashed potatoes» two words in this case equally deserving of their own quotes. I add the gravy that I eat with abandon, eyes teary with self-​loathing. Their mac and cheese, so vaguely an approximation of good mac and cheese that even the boxed stuff Kraft makes calls it his bitch. And yet I go through the line scooping with scoops and tonging with tongs and knowing better, but doing it anyway. «Hey, gotta grab that extra thigh of original recipe so I can justify the purchase of this $ 5.99 buffet!»
Idiot.
Rationalizations pass through me like KFC’s corn nibblets… which I’ve already scooped on my plate. I return to work half the man I was that morning yet paradoxically gaining 10 extra pounds. So boo to you KFC buffet! I hate you. I never want to see you again.
(Call me, okay?)
