KFC

I have been there twice and both times they said it was too late to get KFC. They only had Taco Bell. This was about 8:30pm one time and around 9pm on the other. After reading these reviews, I had always wondered why that was not posted online, but I wonder no longer.

It’s been a while since I’ve been here but my one visit to this place is burned into my mind for all eternity.
First of all, it’s nice they have a combo of a KFC with a Taco Bell, and it’s convenient to Kennedy Blvd. as you can quick in/​quick out if you have somewhere to go.
I wanted to stop and dine in before driving across the bay to the beach hotel in Pinellas County, and that was a mistake. I am still scarred.
A woman was there with her 4 small children. The oldest was a boy of about 7 years of age. At first the boy was strutting around and telling us all how great he is. I figured too much television or something. But unfortunately the woman working the cash register did not shoo him off when he decided to jump up and sit on the counter top right by where food trays were being placed, because when he perched himself up there is when I realized there was a HUGE WET URINE STAIN on the front of his pants.
His mother said nothing and the cashier didn’t either. Lord help me!
And they didn’t wash the counter off after the child jumped back off!
It is NOT CLEAN to let a child sit on a counter top where food is served, let alone one with an incontinence issue.
He was there for at least 2 minutes with his massively pee stained pants, which looked as if he took a solid two urinations in them, or he drank a ton of soda and had one massive gusher, hard to say for sure. It did NOT look dry, that’s for sure.
Those with me noticed it as well and I desperately wanted a photograph but couldn’t get one without being obvious. We were gagging and gagged much of the rest of the day.
Jesus H. Christ.

Completely agree with Clyde!!! These people are EXTREMELY rude. It’s absolutely ridiculous. DON’T eat here!
The woman at the drive through window should be FIRED or at least have to go through a million training programs of how to treat customers, or. wait. maybe just human beings in general. This woman has NO tact or manners.
My boyfriend and I went through the drive through this evening and had a terrible experience. First of all, after reading Clyde’s review I now understand that they were not simply out of the cinnamon twists. they just «didn’t care.» We tried to order them but they said they were out. We didn’t think anything of that though until now. Once we pulled up the window my boyfriend started to ask if it was possible if he could add another taco on to the order. He didn’t get past «I’m really sorry, but is there any» that’s when he was cut off by a loud bitchy bark saying she can’t add any items. This was extremely offensive for two reasons. First, she cut him off. Second, the extreme attitude she let loose on us was uncalled for. Then she snapped at us saying «you see the line» (I did not see much of a line). Then she handed him the food and slammed the window in our faces, but not before we heard her laugh and say «He mad.» Actually we were not mad at all about not being able to add a freaking taco. That is not an issue at all. What we were mad at was the extremely rude way she spoke to us and cut my boyfriend off. She could have easily let him finish his sentence and then explained nicely that she wouldn’t be able to because they were really busy. Honestly, that’s not a big deal and is understandable. What threw this whole thing out of control was the fact that she laughed in our faces and said «he mad» and slammed the window. How unprofessional and rude, and way make yourself seem like an uneducated idiot. The hostility and snappy behavior of this woman honestly came out of nowhere.
Trust me when I say I that I will NEVER return to this location and quite possibly any Taco Bell or KFC again because obviously they do not train their employees or watch their franchises closely at all. If they are that rude and then also they don’t give a shit about making the products that they are supposed to be selling, then I don’t see a point in adding to their business. I will be sharing this story with all of my friends and will encourage them not to eat here either. Absolutely unbelievable!

Where do I even start with this hell hole?
Typically I leave reviews days later so no particular people get in trouble, because Lord knows, it would be my review that got someone fired and ultimately led to their demise — but tonight is not such a night.
There was one person in line when we got there. The cashiers name was Katie (Brownie I think he last name was) and she was a sweetheart… that’s where the kind words end tonight from me. After taking the persons order in front of us, she asked a much taller, older woman to ‘watch the front for her’. I didn’t get her name, but she was probably 5’9, 5’10. This ‘woman’ took one look at us, rolled her eyes and proceeded to talk at 104 decibels to someone else behind the cook line about something I couldn’t quite make out. I watched as four of the workers stood behind the counter working with as much efficiency as my grandmother breathing in salt water — which suffice it to say, is ‘with none’.
So fast forward five minutes… my wife and I are still standing there, still waiting for someone to even acknowledge us (ten minutes total at this point), when another woman, much shorter than a normal person, but not quite legally handicapped due to her ‘shortness’ came over and yelled out at the top of her lungs, «I got four tacos, a taco supreme, blah blah blah blah blah». The guy comes up to get the food for his family only for her to tell him that, ‘yeah, we’s out of chicken nuggets, chu’ want sumtin else’. When he asked her ‘what can he choose from’… you would have thought he said something un-​nice about her four inch fingernails and how brightly they were painted. His daughter, a cute little thing, said, ‘daddy, but I really wanted chicken nuggets’, he told her he was sorry and just asked for strips. I looked at one of Willy Wonka’s escapees with disdain and wondered, ‘why would you wait until the last second, as you are handing someone their food, fifteen minutes after ordering and then tell him ‘you were out’ of something’. I just didn’t get it.
So anyways. Katie (the nice cashier) comes back and apologizes for no one helping us… my wife ordered, I ordered and then my wife asked for some cinnamon twists. Katie informed her that ‘the cooks had not made any in a few hours and that she kept telling them customers were asking for them’. We asked ‘what did they say’, she said, ‘they didn’t care’.
Now mind you. I am not sure how one could surmise that the obviously overworked and underpaid (that’s sarcasm) individuals in back wouldn’t care about making such a staple menu item. But I can assure you, from listening to their dribble, cursing and going on and on about their lives and what they were going to do later — they did not.
‘Now Clider;, I can here you saying… why would you give a place with expected terrible service such a bad review. My answer to that is, ‘I am a glutton for punishment’. We had not been here since the remodel so I figured, ‘maybe they took out the riff raff and hired a bunch of people that actually gave a shit about their jobs and would make quality food’. This was not the case in this instance. I’ll never go back to that hell hole. The food we got was luke warm. The chicken (boneless original recipe) was riddled with fat and my wifes Doritos Locos taco shell was rubbery as hell. But whatever. It’s Taco Bell/​KFC, guess I should have expected that.
Here is where my visit gets odd. Something strange happened while I was there, it only happened one other time when I got into a car accident, hit my head and saw my great-​gam gam telling me things would be okay. The Colonel was there with me tonight, trying to place my mind at ease. As I felt the anger build up inside me about the travesty that was my visit, I felt a warm hand on my shoulder and a quiet whisper in my ear… and I knew it was Colonel Sanders. Everything kind of went black and there was a soft skinned, white bearded fella looking down on me and I just knew…
…he said, «Clider, if I could come back from the dead and burn this restaurant down, I would — and I am really sorry». At that point, I knew that it was a lost cause… I refilled my awesome Mountain Dew Baja Blast and left.
Note to the managers and franchisees of this establishment.
All levity aside. Your restaurant is terrible. To say most of the staff was discourteous at best would be a compliment. I realize they deal with a lot of rude people, but not all of us are jerks (we are actually very nice and understanding). And not that a few bucks missing a month from us will kill your bottom line, but it will start to add up… or at least, I’d like to think so. Try replacing some of the managers with people that actually know how to manage. Try hiring some more well rounded people and pay them an extra two bucks an hour and FIRE the rest. I think you’d be surprised how many people would come back knowing they wouldn’t have to wait, get shitty food and have the employees look down on you with general disdai

I love KFC and my husband loves Taco Bell. Best of both worlds! This location never seems to be busy, which would normally turn me away, but the food was just as good here as any other location!

This is a combo KFC/​Taco Bell. As far as KFCs and Taco Bells go, this one is good. It’s clean, service was prompt, and the food consistent. I’ve developed quite a taste for the Taco Bell Fresco Menu. For those of you on Weight Watchers, the fresco tacos, hard or soft, chicken or steak, are 4 points each. A fresco burrito has 8 points. So if your trying to give yourself a little taste of something naughty but stay within your points budget, this is great.
This particular KFC has grilled chicken. The other combo Taco Bell I go to has a Long John Silver’s, but because it’s a combo they don’t have grilled fish. So if you’re in the mood for healthier chicken choices, this place works. Just stay away from the cole slaw, the mac and cheese, and the grilled stuffed burrito XXL, and you’ll be fine. I’m a fan!
