I just came from dropping $50.00 at KFC for my party and they totally effed up the order. When I called to speak to a manager, some incompetent employee named "Ruby" insisted they were the shift supervisor. When I said they messed up my order and I wanted to talk to the actual manager or I was coming to get a refund she threatened me with physical violence and dared me to come on down. I will NEVER visit this place again and I will be following up with Corporate. What a shitshow CASTRO VALLEY KFC. read more

Drive thru staff borderline rude. I misunderstood the total and didn't give enough money. Upon being corrected I apologized and quickly gave more money. The person continue to laugh, roll her eyes and shake her head like I was the stupidest person in the world. OK, that maybe however the eight piece buck I paid for contained seven pieces. So looks like I'm not the only one who can't count. read more

Just like a normal KFC. One time I came here on the later side and they were out of wedges, so I was forced to make another choice, that was annoying. It would have been nice if something extra was thrown in for free, especially since it was late. Frankly, none of the sides are even close to being as good as the wedges. I wish they had Dr. Pepper as a beverage choice. I know this review is kinda whack, but I went here last week in a bind, so I figured I would post a review. There is always lots of parking and never a long wait inside. I guess this is a bit generous for KFC, but 2 stars would be a little harsh. Some of the review has to be based on expectations. read more

It was the worst fried chicken I've ever had! The skin was greasy, the meat was extremely hard, dry and salty. I think they gave me this awful food because I was a drive through customer. I will never go back there again. read more

yum! hot and quick :) tastes great! macaroni is a must and the chicken tenders are our favorite. stopped here on a road trip, says on my receipt the cashier is Edwardo. :) read more

KFC - 3 pc. Chicken Box - Fast Food Near Me - Castro Valley, California

I purchased a classic chicken sandwich and the sandwich was saturated with mayonnaise not aïoli

All KFCs are a hit and miss depending on how long it has been cooked so I accepted that fact. Rude service is why I gave it a 2 stars.

The chicken to greasy to salty and service Is bad have to tell them twice on what I Wanted will never eat there again read more

Now I know why review is 1 star. Bought 2x first one large mashed potato has no gravy, second one corn has no butter , no tissue no spoon. I wonder why the manager and owner of this place lets this happen. read more

I've never been inside so I can't speak to the service but I have gone through the drive thru several times with zero issues. They give their main competitors a run for their money with their chicken sandwiches in size and flavor, and I don't find myself sitting in the drive thru for 15 to 20 minutes like I do at other fast food locations in Castro valley. It's conveniently located as well read more

Ok, KFC is KFC... it is what you expect from KFC. I was jonesing for some fried chicken and I was being lazy so I had it delivered. Everything was good except they put buffalo sauce on my wings instead of on the side like I requested. I really prefer my breaded fried chicken crispy not soggy. Other than that, everything was what you expect from KFC. This experience probably deserves two or three stars but I was erring on the side that maybe they had someone new that day. read more

So I've patronized this particular KFC for approximately 5 years and as long as I was able to go inside to order there wasn't a hassle with making corrections to my order and I never ordered from the drive through window. I suppose COVID had something to do with closing the dinning room. However, it should not have affected the quality of the cooking if anything it should be better. I was very disappointed with the transaction I asked for a wing leg and thigh. Not only did I not get the correct order but the replacement order was worse in fact they took one piece out and I ended up with all short thighs looking the same as the first order. The drive line was growing behind me so I drove home only to find a mess that wasn't fit for consumption and I put the box with the food in the garbage. The clerk stood at the window but hid from directly facing me. I am done with this particular location. This order could definitely have been much better as well as the customer service. Don't have photo I dropped the complete box of food in my garbage can before entering my house. Other locations are so much better this was the closest to my home. If you don't care what your food tastes like then KUDOS to you. read more

My boyfriend and I were in the drive thru at 915pm. This location closes at 10pm. There was a line so when it was our turn to order at 930pm, we were told they ran out of chicken. There were also several cars behind us. Apparently it's ok to stop cooking because they "were closing soon." read more

The drive thru worker needs to go. First, he sucks at multitasking when taking orders and handing out orders at the window. Second, he has attitude. I'm sorry I asked for honey. I won't be going here anymore. read more

SO EXPENSIVE!! 3 chicken sandwiches, 2 wedge potatoes, coleslaw. That's it. No drinks. $33.82!!!! Will NEVER go back.

I was scared by all the bad ratings, and I've had bad experiences here before too. But tonight I ordered from Door Dash and the chicken was fresh and hot, with a variety of good pieces, everything was there and tasty, and I even got condiments and plastic spoons. I will give credit where credit is due. I'm glad to see they are improving. read more

grabbed a go cup(2.49) with chicken tender and wedge fries. not great, just a oversalted, overbreaded. fries so so. (obviously prefrozen_.. parking nearby good for grab and go. read more

I went tonight to order dinner for my family. Spent over 60 dollars. Not only was i disrespected and rushed through the drivethru after telling them i need a moment to get everyone's order( mind you there was no one else in the drive through at all the whole time we were there) the person who took our order who seemed to be the manager kept not understand what i said as i spoke clearly and repeated myself multiple times. After having him repeat the order back i had order a mac and cheese and three of the half gallon drinks and two chicken littles. The mac and cheese was half empty. Chicken littles were so burn to the point they were not edible. And the gallon drinks were all diet when the receipt had the correct drinks and the guy taking our order poured them himself. Let alone i order a famous bowl and my sister is alergic to corn, he was told that. He said it back to me. And again. It had corn so she couldnt eat it was lucky enough i noticed there was corn in it before i handed it to her. I work at starbucks and understand messing up orders but its not right to mistreat and disrespect a costumer the way he did and to ruin a orfer this badly when they were no were nesr closing and had no one else coming through the drive through so no need to rush me out. He slammed the door in my face before i could even just ask for a hotsauce packet. I made sure to be nice and respectful even after being rushed and disrespected. Told him to have a great day but he couldnt be bothered to be nice back. This isnt the first time this resturant locstion fuck Messed up but it sure is the worst. I proceeded to make a online complaint to corprate becuase like you. Could guesd the number for the store had no one picking up the phone to simply tell them they mess up the order and try to grt it fixed. But all corprate would offer is a buy one get one chicken sandwich coupon for all the crap my family just dealt with. Ive never been so hurt snd disrespected and angry from a restursnt before in my life. DO NOT ShOP HERE. Ill post a update if anything changes which is unlikely. Wish i could give them less then one star. read more

I order a bucket of chicken, especially asked for dark meat, got home opened it was all white meat..... why??? so I brought it back an hour later, they were nice enough to give me a refund because they ran out of dark meat at the moment. But it still deserve one star, because I'm hungry, and drove a huge round trip... What a waste of gas and time read more

After spending 20 bucks you get one sauce -100 rate don't come and spend your money at this location

Came here for some drive thru food, there were two cars in front of me and service went quickly which is always great for drive thru. They let me know ahead of ordering that if I wanted chicken it would be a 25 minute wait since they ran out - all good, it happens and I wasn't planning on ordering their chicken pieces. I got the number 7 meal, it's a sandwich, popcorn chicken, fries and a side. I asked for my side which is usually coleslaw to be mac and cheese. I came home, took care of some stuff, and then i unwrapped my food. After a couple bites I realized my side isn't here. I was really looking forward to my mac and cheese and the meal is supposed to come with a side. I understand if I asked for mac and cheese and accidentally got the regular coleslaw, but I just didn't get any side. I'm not going to drive all the way back because my order is incomplete, but I'm really disappointed. :( read more

Your review helps others learn about great local businesses. Please don't review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you're connected in any way to the owner or employees.i went there for quick dinner too tired to cook , the grilled chicken had a very off taste . It was horrible !!! I do not recommend ! read more

Cold, hard, inedible chicken bites. Went here to pickup original recipe boneless bites for my preschooler and used the drive through. Time was a little after 6pm, prime dinner rush. Two cars in front in the drive through, from order to window about ten minutes. Paid and waited several mins, order was not ready. Eventually, window person came back to say our bites were being cooked fresh, about five mins would we like strips instead? I declined and said we'd wait. She went away for several more mins and returned with a bag saying she had been mistaken, here was our order. I asked if they'd given us the old bites? She ignored the question. I asked a second time, she again ignored the question and gave me the bag and shut the window. Five mins later was home and checked the food. Totally Inedible. So hard I could barely bite into them, let alone a 2and 5 yr old. The bites were cold, hard, and dry. What is worse than the sale of old, dead food, was the deliberate deception by the cashier who had emphasized "fresh" bites for our order. And interestingly there was no receipt in the bag from the order. read more

Worst KFC ever. My fiancé did not get her cookie last time. No condiments, or anything. Minor issues. Tonight, I asked for all thighs bucket, a mini lemon cake (they even asked specifically if I wanted the mini and I said yes), and a big box meal that comes with popcorn chicken, Chicken tenders, and sides, including mashed potatoes and gravy. I mentioned the lack of a cookie last time and she apologized. Didn't offer one or do anything about it. Oh well. They gave me and charged me for a large lemon cake (I decided to not complain, it would get eaten). As I was driving away and checking to see if they charged me for that, I saw they put on the receipt "no sauce", but I was never asked about sauces for the popcorn shrimp. Oh well, not worth driving back. Then I reached into the bag to get a piece of crispy skin while I drive the meal home. That was odd.. That felt like a drumstick. At the red light I turned on a light and looked inside. It was all tiny drumsticks. I was halfway home, but there was no way I was paying $15 for 8 little drumsticks. I went back. Time and gas wasted, i told them it was all drumsticks and that I hadn't been asked about sauce and got a new bucket that looked like thighs and sauces. Good job! I get home and tell my fiancé who is in bed from a surgery, why I was delayed, and began to unpack the meal. She opens the box and there is no mashed potatoes or gravy, and in my bucket there are some breasts instead of thighs, something one must take chicken out and examine with greasy hands, not something to be done in a car. Of course, there goes a portion of our evening where our kids are with grandparents and she is recovering. Back to the store, and never again. Do no go here, but if you must, check and DOUBLE CHECK YOUR ORDER. Additional note, foot tastes good. Attitude of employed is good. Service time is good. If order was perfect it would have easily been 4-5 stars. But the inept staff is enough that my evening is ruined, I wish I had never gone there, and it deserves no stars. read more

Go watch Lethal Weapon 3...remember Joe Pesci's line "They fuck you at the drive thru?" Truer words were never spoken. Food is KFC alright. Nothing to get a big dick about. This particular location really REALLY pushes Apple Turnovers on you for some reason. And they always ask your name for when they call your order. I usually fuck with them and tell them its "Antanariovlobungladeshkovsky". One time they almost got it half right. read more

The first year my family tried KFC's fried turkey and omg, it was by far one of the best Turkey's yet. Cajun seasoning, moist, and juicy. Simply amazing! read more

I just witnessed the grossest thing ever!! My son took his food to the counter because something was in it and the manager stuck his fingers in his food pulled out the object and said here you go... Gross!!! read more

Pretty nice day as I got my order taken by Christian, he was very nice and helpful, and allan was also a very kind worker, they deserve a raise read more

KFC is not the best, but saw it and went by today and was extremely disappointed. Chicken strip were dry. Chicken in mashed potatoes bowl was hard. Could not even chew. Food tasted like it had been sitting for a long time. Should not serve old food, no wonder no one goes there. read more

Went to get some chicken wings yesterday with my daughter. We asked for 2 combos which usually comes with a biscut, at least at all of the other kfc's that we go to. The manager refused to give us the biscuts and very rudely told us that we would have to pay for the biscuts that is supposed to come with the meal if we wanted them. We will never go back to that so called business. The food comes out cold and I'm pretty sure the reason they don't give receipts is so people don't know how much they are overcharged. No receipt in the bag or anywhere. If you want some good, hot, delicious finger licking good chicken, stay away from this place. The Sprite was good. So that deserves a star. read more

Ordered a famous chicken bowl. Got MAYBE a teaspoon of corn and 5 pieces of chicken with a tiny scoop of mashed drowned in gravy upside down in my bag. Plus the bowl is the only dish that doesn't come with a side? Why...especially if your gonna half ass it and not even fill up the bowl, it's already pretty small. Come on guys, I know you're a KFC but damn. Id give negative stars if I could. read more

the absolute worst kfc I ever been to in my entire fucking life! they rarely get your order right, after 8 o'clock you're fucking lucky they have chicken ready,cooked, or in stock.tonight was the straw. I order a 8 piece and I get 6. WHAT THE FUCK. They had one an extra mile away that was always on point and they closed that one down. I swear this place will never, ever get a fucking dime from as long as I live. FUCK THEM. read more

My previous review of this KFC was when it was run by a bunch of teenagers who didn't do there job. The food was always bad and missing items. And terrible customer service. And the last few times I've been here over the last 6months to a year this place has greatly improved. The food is way better, the place isn't run by teenagers anymore. I use to drive all the way to San Leandro to avoid this KFC , now I go to this spot anytime I want KFC. finally a good KFC in the area. Thank you for cleaning up this spot. read more

Worst KFC ever. I asked for 2 thighs and a leg. I came home with 1 wing. What am I supposed to do with one wing between 2 people? I called, and got a written "coupon" for 2 free thighs. Went back there tonight: I asked for a breast and a wing. I got a thigh and a wing. Please have your staff be able to tell the difference between the parts of the chicken. It's not that hard........ If they can't do their job, get rid of them and hire new people. I will be contacting corporate. 0 stars! read more

The chicken was greasy and nasty tasting. We got the $5 meal and there was no plastic forks or spoons no biscuit and no cookie. Never go through the drive-thru and they were not even busy either. A real shit hole. read more

OMG, this place is awful! Today, I came here with my kids, no line for dinning in and only one car at a time in drive thru, not busy yet! We took our time to decide what we like to order but with questions! Store manager on duty, with one or two other staffs. He acts quickly to prepare orders for drive thru customers but he has no patience at all when taking my order! I did ask questions first before finalized my order and he replied almost every words and sentences with attitude , shaking his head when taking my order, and could not getting my order right and kept saying he did not get it with body languages indicate that he is busy and worried about drive thru side, it feels like he thinks I'm wasting his time! So I explained I'm only order KFC once a while and not familiar with the menu and I pointed out he has no patience with his attitude. Guess what he replied? "You mean this is attitude? I don't have any attitude! I can't help with anything if that's how you feel!" OMG! I stepped out without ordering anything! It's a good lesson for my kids to learn respect and basic costumer service skills! For me, a store manager should be the roll model and represents his store as well as KFC! In n out or McDonald's are much more busy than the KFC in this location, but I never had experience like this! It's my worst experience at a fast food store in my life! Maybe he is stressed about his work load or things happening in his life! Otherwise, can't believe it! read more

Their service is so freaking bad! They missed biscuits in my order, waste my time to go there again because of their mistake. They don't apologize and very rude. Their chickens are not fresh at all, tasted bad. I never and never go there again in my life. read more

The absolute worst! They always get my order wrong! Customet service is nonexistent. They seriously need to shut this location down. It's too bad they closed the Hayward location near Foothill. read more

I don't know why I even bother with this place. They are always out of what I want and it seems as though they discontinue the good items. This evening was the last straw. Once again they were completely out of what I wanted (wings), and went with a chicken breast (all they had was original). After quite a wait and seeing others waiting a very long time, my husband got our order which was two very greasy chicken breast that were falling out of the box because of all the grease that was sitting on the bottom. The chicken looked gross and there was no way I was eating it. We have never been to a KFC as bad as the one in our own town. Orders were not complete, always out of something's, taking forever to get order, and now chicken swimming in grease. From nor on its Popeyes chicken. read more

WHOA....the other reviewers are pretty damn harsh on a KFC! really people, it's KFC, not the Carnelian room! I actually stopped by here before going to a party to pick up a 20 piece original recipe chicken only...I also got a 2 piece breast meal for my hubby and was a walk-in. We were the only customers at the time and the cashier was so nice and helpful. I was going to buy the wings, but she suggested the full size pieces because of how small the wings were and the price was cheaper for them, too. My hubbies chicken breasts were DD sized! HUGE ;^) and his side dishes of mashies and gravy and wedge fries were hot and tasty! The cashier also threw in a free large drink! Now that's customer service! Very fast friendly and the chicken was a hit at the party! no problems here at all.... read more
