For Fried Chicken, I will do things I'm not very proud of. That aside, I'm a bit of an authority in the subjects of fried, chicken: breasts, thighs, legs, and wings and biscuits -- all among my speciality. KFC is a mid-line fast food chain for chicken, and it has since I've was a kid. It outlasted the ol' Pioneer, and ranks up there with Church's and Popeye's. But truth be told, it's far behind Chick-Fil-A, and other specialty "bird" eateries. I went this time for a little fill: 3 chicken tender meal with a biscuit, drink, and mashed potato. With tax $11.08 -- ouch. It was as good as it gets for KFC, average at best. Alas, sorry Colonel -- I can from time to time be nostalgic, but your ol' commercials may be the best you have. read more

I was a little leery about this location due to the low rating but my visits there have been great. Nothing to complain about. Friendly and professional staff and great food! I will be back! read more

I usually order online for pick up. The order has always been ready within 10 minutes and accurate. It's the same as any other KFC. The chicken is crispy and juicy. However, today, the biscuits were a little off. Maybe they were not as fresh. For fast food, I can't complain too much. The online deals are great and Tuesday, you can get a 8 piece bucket for $10. read more

Don't waste your time the people are super rude they don't give a darn and the order is never accurate. Always missing items it's like a big joke to everybody in there a bunch of kids who clearly don't care and an owner who isn't present. Somebody call corporate please. Plus it smells like weed behind the counter read more

Staff were too high to take my order. I had to repeat the simple order for an 8 PC chicken only 4 times with 2 different staff members! It seemed as if it were almost intentional, perhaps even racist. I don't review a lot, but this was shocking. read more

Once again we attempt to order the chicken pot pies that they advertise out front and they do not have any. So we change our order and when we are asked what drink we would like, we say lemonade which is on their menu but they are out of lemonade. And, if a biscuit comes with the order you better be sure to ask for butter and honey or you will not be given any. It seems like very poor management. read more

ordered normal chicken sandwiches, they gave us spicy ones that were near inedible they were so spicy and gross. $34 later for two meals that we couldn't eat. stick to taco bell across the street and steer clear of this kfc read more

Stopped in with a buddy to have a quick bite to eat. The employees appeared to be working as a team, and the team member that took our order was very friendly and efficient. We didn't have to wait long before our order was ready. Our food was excellent - the chicken strips were well coated with a crispy & crunchy coating, and were moist and tender on the inside. The restaurant appears to be recently remodeled with pleasant results. It was very clean, orderly and inviting. read more

Well finally went back to Kfc after about a year because service and the food is just not good. So Kfc is running a new promo now to try and get customers back. A free 8 piece bucket with a mobile order of $15.00. Place my order, arrived on time and had to wait 30 minutes for our food. So this is what it was like before. The food has not improved in quality. This is why we left before. They also gave us our food in to go boxes and we were dining in. Had no utensils or butter. Had to ask for that and plates. This is why we left before. The new promo isn't making it better. Not sure what they can do to fix this. Really said read more

Im giving them 5 stars even though they forgot items my order 2 orders in a row they made up for it by putting the lost items in my 3rd order! read more

Ordered an 8 piece and all I got was 5 legs and 3 thighs. No single thing of white meat. No breasts or wings! They said they don't do it that way but how come I got it that way? Spent 25 bucks and that's what I got? Money wasted down the drain. Such a disappointment! This place is not the same and clearly the employees don't care either! read more

Was in Thursday. Ordered on the app. App didn't have Diet Pepsi or Iced Tea as a drink option. They had both. They aren't updating the app when items come and go. And AGAIN no dipping sauces for my tenders. It's usually the sauce or a biscuit that is missing. Staff are friendly enough but don't, per most ff workers, realize what the gravity of being paid $20 means. It means you are in a privileged worker segment. You must do better. Better with your attitudes and demeanors but most of all, better at GETTING THE ORDER RIGHT. It's expensive to eat at ff. Keep it up, and many of us will find and visit the ones who get it. read more

Tried to explain my order to a manager named Fernando who was taking my order. I told him my order was incorrect but he wouldn't accept any changes and then also charged me wrong . When i went back again to tell him he asked if i had a recipt but he hadn't given me one when i told him i didn't have one he walked off and ignored me. read more

OMG...I keep trying but this place just sucks!! Over cooked, super expensive food. This is what you get for $20 an hour for fast food. DON'T DO IT!! I Oder the chicken and Mac and cheese bowl. There were 3 pieces of tiny chicken. KFC means chicken. This place does not. My granddaughter got some chicken fingers and they were raw. How do u see oil chicken fingers. Out them in the deep fryer and press the button. read more

We did an online order hoping it would be ready when they said that it would be. We showed up when it was supposed to be ready. After we waited 5 minutes for an employee to even give us counter help, we were told it wasn't ready because they had to wait 3 minutes on biscuits. Our food wasn't ready until almost 20 minutes later. The manager, Alejandra, was rude and very unprofessional. This was our 1st time here & it was so disappointing. I'll only be back if I'm desperate lmao! read more

I got there about 20 minutes before closing and they were out of original. They did not make more. But they did treat me very well. We're very apologetic and it gave me a free little pie. That kind of customer service goes along way. read more

Went here for lunch to find out they had no white meat at all. Two employees working and absolutely no white meat within the restaurant supposedly. Chicken was very bland not the typical seasoning No seasoning in the chicken. read more

Cold food. Terrible customer service. Kitchen looked super dirty. Thought a chain would be reliable but it was terrible.

Whoever was in the kitchen on July 31st 2024 at 9-9:30 was really cooking something special like rent was due next paycheck. You made my girlfriend's night thank you She hasn't been having an appetite for much lately but craved the delicious food this location always has read more

Ordered an 8 piece meal - discovered only 5 pieces of chicken when I got home. Side portions were smaller, and prices have gone up. Good to know I'm getting less and paying more. read more

This store is horrible. Not clean, rude staff, and some staff were on their break just looking at me and I was the only one in line and waiting over twenty-minutes to be asked " What can I get for you". Worst of all, when I got my order, there was a appeared to be a string of black hair wrapped around the chicken. Gross read more

Well, if I would've known it had this bad reviews the staff suck and are the definition of miserable people just horrible impatient tones, an attitude the girl might as well have thrown the food at me. I'm speechless. Had to drive through a gigantic pile of leaves while the gardeners created in the middle of the drive-through I'm talking this was wild. read more

Service terrible, food worse!! The employees couldn't identify which part of the chicken was being served.

I'm not sure why we keep giving this place a chance. We have to drive to Atascadero to get good service. My daughter & her husband came up early for Christmas. I'd just spent 7 hours in the hospital after being rear ended by a drunk driver the night before. I didn't want to go out so my husband decided to go get a bucket of chicken & guess what they were OUT of THIS TIME???!!! CHICKEN!!! & it's not the 1st time!!!! They are usually out of something EVERY time. It's rare that they have everything you want. Question.... Why can the Atascadero one get it right 99.9% of the time???? So to make the night perfect, he decides to just go across the street & get Taco Bell. AND they gave half our order to the people in front of us & we got half of their order. BOTH need new management. Neither apologizes sufficiently. Glad there is such a thing as Yelp. read more

We have had several problems here, but since the one in Atascadero closed we are stuck with it. I came home on my previous trip and $15 worth of food was missing. Tonight was the last straw. My husband wanted taco bell and I was dying for chicken, so I hit the drive thru to be quick. It was SIX O'CLOCK in the evening, prime dinner rush time. I started my order asking for a large mashed potato and gravy, and was promptly cut off. "We don't have that". I paused for a second, "I'm sorry, you're out of mashed potatoes?" THAT'S WHAT I SAID, I SAID WE DON'T GOT THAT!!!!" ...And now you don't have me as a customer. I'm sick of getting ripped off, yelled at by teenagers, and don't even think about asking for a manager. For a long time I thought the yelpers might be getting a little harsh, but they weren't. Skip this place and go somewhere else!!!! read more

About 3-weeks ago my wife and I decided to go to KFC, in Paso. She got a mashed potato bowl and I got some chicken fingers. The chicken we got must have been cooked the day before cause it was the toughest chicken I'd ever had. I wasn't real happy, but it happens sometimes, I guess. So , today I thought we would try it again, BIG MISTAKE! I ordered 12 chicken fingers, and my wife's mash potato bowl. when I got to the window, the gal said , $41.50, that's what? I asked what the chicken fingers cost, she told me they were $31.50, in shock I said WHAT, again. I was amazed. The chicken fingers I had got in the past were very small, that's why I ordered 12 instead of 8 last time. That's about $2.65 per little tiny slice of chicken with more batter than chicken. needless to say , I said cancel those. I paid for the mash potato bowl, and biscuit, that was $12.00. I WONT EVER BE ORDERING A THING FROM THERE AGAIN. There chicken isn't that good anyway. Especially at those prices. Its no wonder why there aren't many left around here. read more

Chicken was not cooked all the way. Our roommate originally got the chicken, mac & cheese and biscuits and ended up getting sick, but didn't realize what it was from. My husband took one bite and saw it was undercooked inside, he spit it out and we checked the rest and it was the same, the Mac and cheese smelled like plastic we didn't even try it, only the biscuits were edible. I wish I would've gotten a picture before I threw it all away. read more

Not las good asl Albertsons. Chicken dried out and over cooked. Wings burned to a crisp

I often travel from Palm Springs to Carmel, and this is near the halfway point for me. So it was so good to find my favorite roadside restaurant right here..I had my usual, extra crispy fried chicken with a side of mashed potato, lots of That great gravy, and a side of cole slaw. I found this store to be clean and sparkling. And that staff always makes me feel like home. So glad I found this place. read more

Dirty location, food bad - got bad stomach for the 2nd time - do not recommend this KFC, shame because I love KFC

Stopped by tonight and picked up the $20 fill-up meal, and damn if it was GREAT! It's hard to believe all the grumpy kitties with such negative reviews. The service I received was excellent! Keep up the great work, KFC!! read more

Got the 10 piece dark meat special with three sides, four biscuits, 64 ounce soda for $31.99 and our family enjoyed the meal. Staff was really nice and trying to help us to reassure our family had enough food and not trying to sell us more food than what we needed. We are here in the vicinity for some time and hope to come back again. read more

Your Always THE Best. Thanks you KFC The Bonafede Family 1229 Elaine St Paso Robles California 93446-3034 read more

I'd give it a zero, but there's not an option. Waited 30 min in the parking lot for our 2 person order and didn't even get what we ordered. I've seen a ton of bad reviews here and obviously the owner doesn't care. So...I suggest you start disputing the charges on your card read more

Okay wow. Bucking the trend here I know... So we're in quarantine, I decide to try the Japanese Chicken Rice Instant Pot KFC recipe...so I need some chicken. I jump online, order a meal for $20 and set my pickup time. I drive to the drive thru and tell them I'm picking up an online order, it's ready. I drive to the window, a guy wearing a face mask and gloves hands me my order. It's SO much food for only $20 wow. I get home, try the chicken. I haven't had KFC in like 10 years at least. It's so good. And the mashed potatoes and gravy are as cheap and delicious and amazing as I remember. They wound up giving me an extra mashed potato instead of the coleslaw I was supposed to get, but since I really just wanted the chicken I am not too bummed. I did submit a complaint to their support center. Now granted I just wanted chicken, and I'd be way more upset if I had my heart set on coleslaw or biscuits, but still that chicken was just so good I don't know I can be all that pissed. We'll see how their support team handles my feedback but as far as the easy order process, and the easy pick-up....I'm still saying it was good. read more

We came here because the reviews are hilarious and, we wanted to see how bad this place truly could be. The reviews are true - they didn't have extra crispy chicken so we got original. The chicken was very oily, dry and lacked flavor completely! Also, they forgot to give napkins, honey and butter (for the biscuit). Finally, the Mountain Dew was watered down. On the positive, the service was quick. The person behind us was trying to order a big meal, and they said they didn't have enough hot wings for it. It would be another 20 min to cook a new batch. read more

Food was amazing and service was even better, I don't know why have such a low rating. Food comes out pretty fast some people are just impatient overall good experience I would highly recommend read more

Tried the pot pie and it was a nice snack while I waited for my son to get out of school. The service was not so great. I stood at the counter for a while with employees making eye contact but not in much of a hurry to actually help me. There was no one in the restaurant and it was hard to find a clean table. I guess these details are no longer considered important. I actually worked at this KFC along time ago and we always kept the dining area and bathrooms clean. It was something we were trained to do. read more

Not sure if being rude, and messing up orders, and then being rude about messing up the order is that standard here. But that's what you will get. I get it it's fast food, but they were over the top. If that's how the employees are supposed to act, management please let me know and I will give them a 5 star review for and outstanding performance. read more
