I went for the Chicken Fried Steak special yesterday. I sat in the adjacent room, because I wanted to read my magazine and the noise level was less in the other room. The CFS was so-so. I took the biscuit back to the counter because it tasted doughy, like it wasn't cooked completely and she gave me a another biscuit, but it too tasted pasty. I did mention it to the Manager before leaving and he explained to me that they put the warm biscuit in butter after baking and he would check out the problem. I commended him on handling a situation with a transient who came in. I only heard part of the conversation, as his voice is loud. and the Manager handled the situation professionally and the transient said some nasty words to him, but he didn't react. His employees's must feel safe to know he will be there to handle any situation. read more

My wife and Grand baby went to eat in at this KFC Location in Hemet California, We order to dine in After I place my order I ask to let one of the associates at the counter to let me use the bathroom because the door was lock. I have never seen a bathroom so badly maintained. If the bathroom is like that I can't even imagine how the kitchen is. read more

Santos has an incredibly hard job. The first friendly voice you hear over the drive through intercom. I made a kfc app order earlier in the morning and for some reason it came through on their end as still processing the payment. He came outside in the drive through and calmly and professionally explained there was some kind of glitch. Sure enough the order got cancelled in the app and I was able to reorder and everything was fine. I came inside and Santos was very welcoming and accommodating. Made me feel right at home. I placed another order I was so impressed with his professional and kind demeanor deportment and personable service. He gets high marks from me ! Balancing problems with technology that he has nothing to do with, placating drive through customers , dealing with requests at the register and looking fly while doing all of this. Santos is an asset to your company. I saw another associate Olivia help an elderly customer back to his seat. She was patient while he pushed his rollator walker to his booth and she carried his drink for him. It was so touching and moving and gracious ! read more

Our local KFC has a Bingo evening between 5-7pm on non holiday Thursdays. Last week I won a Free 2 piece meal and tonight, I attempted to redeem the coupon and eat my meal as I played Bingo. I was told they do not redeem these coupons on Thursdays. If this coupon,is not redeemable on Thursdays, why does it not state this, on the coupon. Why, could I NOT get 2 pieces of chicken, mashed potatoes and a biscuit on a night they are hosting a bingo game? I believe that I was lied to and denied the meal, for personal reasons and I demand fair compensation for this mistreatment. It felt their decision to not redeem my coupon tonight, was discriminatory and I see this, as a teachable moment. I will not be dropping this. If I find out, that other people have been redeeming their free meal coupons on Thursdays........................... read more

KFC - Hair found near my Spicy Chicken Sandwich - Fast Food Near Me - Hemet, California

I'm 82, been eating KFC since 1969. Used to be the chicken was marinated in 11 herbs and spices. Not any more. It has a great crust, cooked perfectly, but no taste. Just strong chicken. The original was delicious, not any more. No flavor. read more

Found a chicken bone in my pot pie. Last bite I don't want an emergency trip to the doctor from choking on a bone or chipping a tooth. Got lucky this time and I didn't get hurt. Improvement needed in food prep. Customer service is nice and efficient. Outside area kept clean for area. read more

they make you wait out front of the restaurant for your order while they serve 3 people behind you first... just terribly run.... either hire or people or get it together.... having to wait 10-15 minutes for 6pc wing is insane.. read more

We went through the drive-through and had to pull over because the tenders had two minutes left to cook. That was good, the food was fresh. The employee was very nice and out our food right away. However, to me, the tenders tasted like rubber. We bought the 5-piece which came out to over $11. Pretty expensive for strips of chicken. I should have gone to In-n-Out. read more

Came in tonight around 9 o'clock after a long day in the sales field. Anthony, who seemed like he was a lead for the team, totally kicked ass. He helped me find a special on the menu, made sure I was able to find the restroom, Got my food out to me fresh and hot and in a timely manner, checked in to see how I was doing, all while interacting with his team in a lighthearted way. Great to see young people having fun at work. Overall, a great experience. Thank you, Anthony! read more

KFC - Why is the breading falling off? Plus a terrible attitude right when I pulled up? How can you ruin KFC? I don't get it. - Fast Food Near Me - Hemet, California

This two star review is based on not the quality nor the taste of the food but the overall management of this restaurant. As far as food is concerned it's just like any other KFC, they get there food shipped and already prepared solely to be warmed up or fried and served to their customers. Flavoring and presentation is fast food basic. The location gets a low rating for the lack of cleanliness, whether it be in the lobby area or the kitchen. Trash can be spotted as soon as you enter accompanied by dirty tables. The restaurant needs a facelift but if you look closer you can tell it's more than just a paint job or new decor this location needs. Window ledges dusty, soda machine has excess staining from the soda and kids high chairs are old and stained. Try to avoid this location but if you must come don't eat in. Surprised corporate or health department hasn't shut this place down for failure to comply with standards read more

great service. very nice and Mario at the front is kind and patient with my grandma. good place to go eat. the food was just as asked

They did me dirty as fuck!! Will never cum back here again!! They served me old dirty chicken with barley any sides to feed my family! I was rushed and told I have to park or I won't get my food like WTF how are you going to take 30 minutes for a 8pc meal ridiculously read more

This is an update review from a couple months ago. Again, service was spot on, 5 stars for that. The chicken was moist but not greasy, a major improvement over my last visit, keep up the good work. The gravy has improved, but it's not yet to the standard that the overall franchise has set. It needs to be a little thicker and needs a bit more seasoning. Overall though I was pretty darn satisfied with my order and extremely satisfied with the service. Thank You read more

Service was good. KFC is always dependable went through the drive-through. Everything was good.

Coming home from San Diego I always drop in here for my chicken fix. My favorite is the extra crispy chicken with a side of mashed potato and that delicious gravy on top. Accompanied with a side of that delicious cole slaw..makes for a great meal at an unbeatable price too. Niw occasionally I will opt fir the chicken pot pie. I just love that crunchy topping. And the chicken stew inside makes fir a really tasty meal. I love this place. read more

I came to this location through the drive-thru yesterday. Upon arriving i noticed about 4 cars ahead of me, i decided to wait. Finally it was my turn to order at the microphone. I waited for a few minutes to be acknowledged. I even spoke "hello, hello" with no response. I assumed that the speaker was broken and perhaps that was also the reason for the line of cars ahead of me. I get to the window and was prepared to give my order to the cashier Olivia. She refused to take my order claiming that I didn't stop at the microphone. A few problems with this... 1. I did stop at the microphone, why would I not? 2. There are people in this world that have hearing/speaking disabilities. You mean to tell me that you wont serve them through the drive thru due to that? 3. There is a posted sign on the microphone pillar that states if you have a communication barrier to drive to the window for assistance! So, is Olivia discriminating against all people with hearing/speaking disabilities? Then to make matters worse, she gets another cashier to tell me that they are refusing to take my order "Maura". Still to this second, why was there a refusal to take my order? Hmm!?!? Finally, a lady with blonde hair took my order. I don't understand why it wouldn't be common sense to take an order, the assumption from the cashier should be that theres a reason why i couldn't place an order at the microphone. Ridiculous! El pollo loco is next door AND popeye's chicken is directly across the street. Thats where i will be. Olivia AND Maura are the reason for that. Im in complete shock that they treat customers...paying customers like this read more

I had seen the kfc buffet sign a couple of years and was intrigued and put it in the bucket list. Decided to stop by on our way to Idyllwild and check it out. As per reviews, you need to ask the staff for updated items as they have to handle all the regular orders also. They were obliging so no problem. For the price it's definitely decent. As well as Chicken, there were the favs - Coleslaw, Mashed Potato, Mac and Cheese and Biscuits. There were basic Salad items and Mexican items. Don't need to revisit but glad I tried it. read more

First, I stopped by the KFC on Florida, close to Sanderson; the one next to El Pollo Loco and across the street from Pioneer. My son likes a certain $5 Fill up that has chicken strips. I don't know the numbers of the items since I don't go there very often, so I described it to the person on the other end of the speaker box. She asked me which number it was. I started to tell her I couldn't find it and she cut me off to tell me she had to help another customer. I waited. She came back and asked if I had figured out what I wanted. I told her again the type of meal, but couldn't find it on the menu board (very disorganized) to give her a number. She told me to wait again so she could help another customer. When she came back, same attitude. Do you know what you want yet? I again tried to explain, but got cut off again by her saying she had to help someone else, in an exasperated tone. I had had enough. So I drove around and told her she needed to check her attitude dealing with customers. She yelled something at me and closed the window. So...I pulled around and parked to go inside. I went in to ask for the manager and found out she is the manager. So I told her I needed the corporate number and her name. She ignored me. A young man offered to give it to me... yes...he was driving a bus at that moment...... but she said something to him in Spanish and he left, never to be seen again. I eventually got the number from the manager and called their corporate office to complain. Now the good part.... I ended up going to Jack-in-the-box on Sanderson/Esplanade instead. The drive through window clerk was friendly and everything seemed pleasant: however, when I got back to the house, I realized I didn't get the taco sauce I had asked for. So, I called on my way back to get the sauce. The manager, Jennifer I think, said they'd just make me four new ones, since they were probably cold. When I got there, they made them and she even gave me a large soda cup to get a soda for my trouble. She even remembered me from the last time because I was wearing a Veterans Suicide Prevention t-shirt the previous time and she had asked if I was in the military. I am a Lt COL in the Air Force and I remembered her son is also in the Air Force. Overall, it was a really good experience. Such a big difference in customer service. And this is not the first time I have had a bad experience at this same KFC. You'd think that with 2 other chicken restaurants within 50 yards, they'd want to treat you better as a customer, because honestly, I'd rather go to either if the other 2 restaurants. read more

Then another employee came up to the counter. Nice..A no. She total me she couldn't wait on me. Why?? Had to wait in line. That's fine. Another 5 minutes. I figured WOW. Apparently, they didn't need my business. Bye and I left. I'll never go back. read more

Mario just gave the worst experience in fast food. Terrible attitude and inattentive. He didn't answer our calls from the speaker so we drove to the window. He said he couldn't hear us and asked for our order, then faces away and talks to his coworker. Um hello, I'm answering your question sir. I order everything pay and wait. Then he asks what sauces I am. I say 3 of each, and he said " 3 each of what". Of the sauces you just asked me that I wanted. Of each means every single sauce you have. And he says that too many which I can understand. So I ask for 2 of each. He just walks away and rolls his eyes. Gives me bag and then I get home to see he only gave me 1 of some, 2 of some and missing others. Why work in customer service if you can't handle rush hour or customer service? I work in customer service and never treated anyone the way I just treated. Never going back to this location. read more

We do not eat here regularly because of the price. We ate here today because the we got free kids meals from the local library kids program. The kids meals were 1 chicken strip (dark meat) or mini boneless "nuggets" or a drumstick. It comes with a side a capri sun (crap) drink and applesauce. Not worth the $5 it would have cost. I ordered a value menu honey bbq sandwich which was $2.49. I took a picture of it because I wouldn't believe how bad it was if I was reading this. I laughed when I spit out a large piece of chicken because I couldn't bite through it, I closed the box and it says "FRESHLY PREPARED". Freshly prepared maybe yesterday. It had that hard crusty burnt texture when something sits in a slow cooker too long. YUCK read more

Worst KFC I have EVER VISITED. I ordered large Cole slaw, they gave me a SMALL Cole slaw. I ORDERED 2 LARGE SWEET TEAS, THEY CHARGED ME for 2 large sweet teas then they insisted that I ordered medium size,which is what they gave me, if so why did they charge me for large and give me medium? Also the tea had no tea flavor, only water with heavy sugar flavor AND the water was warm. I WILL NEVER GO THERE AGAIN read more

I really Enjoy coming here wish they had more of these Buffet Style KFC Stores in the State of California it's a really Cool concept a Nice alternative for large Scale Family Gatherings or Groups of Friends wanting to visit the Local area or do Meetups and what not for anyone doing those sort of things on a bit of a tight budget it's a godsend it's also great for those times when you're super hungry for their famous Chicken (only for yourself Maybe) but you don't want to break the bank on one of their regular priced $20-$30+ Family bucket meals my only concern is with how often they Rotate the food in there buffet station sometimes during their More Busy business Periods the food in those trays does tend get a bit cold as some others Reviews have stated but i can understand to a small degree why that is & personally it doesn't really bother me as much as it seems to some people their chicken is really good even if it's a little bit on the cold side infact i grew up on the stuff and really loved eating the refrigerated leftover (not reheated) as a child kinda like refrigerated pizza left overs Awesomeness! you see it's because of the Drive-Thru portion of their business (like inside of their Ordinary Locations) that this can occur as operating the Drive Through takes a higher precedence it accounts for a larger portion of their profits compared to their regular dine in &/or Buffet Services Drive Thru Gets the most attention to detail for that reason but if you can deal with that one small issue then this is a really great place to eat just let them know if something in the buffet Station isn't to your liking the staff will usually try their best to rectify any situation that causes their customers to become unhappy & I might add right away they are very good at this location about helping the customer to the best of their abilities to make sure everyone leaves satisfied read more

This is not common and if a manager took their job serious this would not be happening..
