Yep, it's KFC. The Colonel built a machine that still works, definitely not grandma's fried chicken or possibly even Popeyes, but KFC is still frying it up consistently at a decent price. Assembly line chicken with all that entails-small, irregularly cleaned and always crowded. The Ruskin location sits beside Mac Donald's and the parking lot can get backed up. That said, the service here is generally good and the the food is consistent. It's a decent stop for a quick sandwich. read more

KFC - The Colonel's Spicy Chicken Sandwich - Chicken Wings Near Me - Ruskin, Florida

I don't remember the saying but it's something like first time your bad second time my bad. Well I've been duped at this location several times. I wouldn't be as upset if I was paying about $3 for my meal ( 2 piece chicken with mash potatoes and a biscuit. But my chicken was more like a cornish hen. The drumstick was so tiny it was like a buffalo wing and the other piece wasn't much bigger. This is unacceptable and this location has seen the last of me. I prefer KFC but I think I'll have to go to one of their competitors. This is only my opinion but you'll see from the pictures. read more

Everytime I go here I get a sweet tea and every time my tea isn't sweet and is watery or just tastes like lemon water, it's making me want to eat at McDonald's and I don't care for Mcdonald's but they sure do got better sweet tea. It's so ridiculous, never coming again 0/10 read more

Decided on KFC for some quick carry-out. Ordered some individual chicken but the counter rep was considerate and pointed out different combos that would be cheaper. Food was good and we didn't have to cook. Win-win. read more

Some business get to make a turn around and redeem themselves! That's called better management! This KFC has done that during the years Places like this go through a lot of changes and then you have Covid where you have to close your dining room. Then you add on employee shortage because everyone in the state doesn't wanna go back to work just yet! So what are you do is switch to Foley drive-through service only. I have to say the lines are long but the service is always with a smile and you get a thank you for spending money here. The food is fresh tasting at least when it comes to that fried chicken, which is of course why we come here right! Good job KFC he had some good people working hopefully you get the right people you need to re-open the dining room and the service can continue. For now if your craving is KFC the drive up is open. read more

KFC - Only drive up service at this location - Chicken Wings Near Me - Ruskin, Florida

Found! World's Worst KFC & Planet's $#!TT!€$T Chicken Meal - IMRAN™ I was in nonstop meetings since this morning, so I had no choice nearby when I got famished for lunch. So I went in to the. KFC Sun City Center. Not one person was in line at 2:40 pm but I had to wait 20 minutes to place my order. They seem to profit from scammy "mistakes". Every single person who picked up previous orders while I waited found something major missing from their orders. Every single one! If you make the mistake of going here... Check everything. They likely deliberately cheat customers. My 3 piece meal was completely cold and the chicken legs were tiny, hard & dry. Only way to enjoy such chicken drumsticks is to imagine you're having French fried frog's legs. It was $12 for "food" even my dogs would turn up their noses at. I literally spat out the Pepsi from the fountain that had a sickening mix of weak carbonated water and leftover syrup from containers likely running on empty. Single crappiest chicken and worst KFC anywhere, it's right here at KFC. Avoid KFC at all costs. read more

KFC - KFC Award - Chicken Wings Near Me - Ruskin, Florida

I went into the restaurant to order my to go order. Subpar chicken tender pieces, lack of sauce even though I ordered some, and no butter for my biscuits. Second time this has happened, so this must be standard practice. I guess check your order to make sure you have everything before you leave, better yet just find another place to handle your chicken needs. read more

I have to agree with other reviewers This KFC is the worst. Took 30 minutes to get food. They served food to workers getting off, or on break before customers. Car in drive thru was waiting when we got there and still waiting when we left. Multiple diners inside were clearly unhappy the family next to hours said "i would go ask for a box to take this to go but its probably going to take another 30 minutes to get it" 3 of 6 workers were on break during a late dinner rush around 8pm on a Thursday night. we left and there were probably 8 people in line waiting to order Girl at register was clearly not happy to be there. I get it its service work not the greatest but the job is to at-least smile and make people feel welcome. No Napkins or utensils available had to ask for them, BUT they were too busy running around the back to help anyone. There were 3 workers on break at the same time (teenagers, clearly it was busy they were behind but they did not run back to help out. The kitchen area was filthy food spilled on the floor, (again 6 or 7 workers teenagers were in back goofing off) The food itself seemed fine, But this was such a turn off that I will never go back to KFC. KFC if you read these reviews yall gotta do something with this franchisee they are hurting your brand. Unfortunately for them there is literally a Popeyes a mile down the road. On side note is the landscaping is on point. Unfortunately the garbage can was overflowing otherwise the outside was pretty clean. read more

Awful place...absolutely filthy eating area...soda spilled all over counter at self-serve soda area and floor! Couldn't get a receipt because machine was broken...windows sooo dirty as was restroom. read more

Amazing service and food best kfc in riverview highly recommend only fast food people are not rude

0/10 a worker named deisha was very rude. I also saw her pocketing the change from my $20.

Very nice, helpful employees. They were only taking mobile orders but the app is not user friendly and needs a search button. They gave the kids cookies. They were very patient.. read more

Horrible service. Dirty dining area. Very rude help. Or it might have the manager. KFC should never allow their franchise brand to be damaged in this manner. read more

Gentleman at the speaker was very friendly. Customer service is definitely lacking with the woman at the drive thru window. Biscuit: soft and flaky, it was perfect Sweet Tea: so gross, tasted carbonated and unsweetened Famous Bowl: looked soupy but tasted yummy Mac and Cheese: they gave me mashed potatoes instead of the Mac and Cheese I had ordered ‍ Cole Slaw: yummy Cookie: I've NEVER liked their cookies but this one wasn't bad. It's just fast food but overall I wasn't impressed with this location. I'll drive farther to go elsewhere next time. read more

Pulled off the interstate to get in a car line only to be told " we closed" at 855pm. Teammates are not to blame as this is the regional managers issue because they lack the ability to correct such an easy issue. Coach you GM and teammates to stick to the posted hours and not bolt out early leaving families stuck in line for 15 minutes only to finally reach the speaker and told " we closed" Popeyes less than 3 miles up the street! Go to Popeyes as I'm sure they will eventually tap into their gross profits just based off the shitty reviews here and our own personal experience. Easy correction here MR Regional Manager or get replaced!!!' read more

KFC - Took this 4 minutes after driving off! " We closed" - Chicken Wings Near Me - Ruskin, Florida

Went in today for an early dinner. The girl who waited on us was rude. At 1 point she took her cap off & scratched her head. I felt like we were an inconvenience & bothering her. My chicken was way overcooked. The eating area was dirty. Not a pleasurable experience. read more

This place isn't even worthy of one star. Several visits it's always taken forever for service. This time I attempted to get food and waited almost 20 minutes for no one to answer at the box to take my order. No one even greeted me asking me to wait. Pulled up to the window and STILL was not greeted. I finally said hello and a gentleman told me he doesn't work window and can't help me. There was ONE person in the restaurant. How is this place still even open? read more

There should be an option to give this establishment zero stars. The lobby is supposed to be open until 8:30 per their sign on both doors. Yet, the doors are locked at 8pm and when you go up to the door and knock, the so called employees Ana their manager just look at you and chuckle among themselves. Completely ignoring you. The fact that it takes them forever to process a simple drive through order is bad enough but the sheer lack of courtesy is very evident. It's almost like they've gathered all the incompetent people in one place and told them to do the best they can. Word of advice to the owner of this franchise. Clean house and start over. Your current situation isn't functioning too great at this point. read more

Fast service. My order was exactly as I asked for it. Servers were friendly. I'll come here again.

First time here and chicken doesn't taste like original KFC AT ALL !! Not coming back !

I wonder why I come here, although this might only be my second time. The restaurant is messy as staff doesn't clean the tables (although customers should clean up after themselves) and the floors are dirty. We opted for the buffet, which does have a nice variety of food, except that there is never chicken sitting there. You have to ask and then wait.....annoying. Everything else on the buffet is hot and tastes just like the meals you may get instead of buffet. It really is the cleanliness issue that will now keep me away. You just have to wonder how clean the kitchen is where my food was being cooked. Staff was friendly and waited on us quickly. read more

I love KFC but this particular Franchise does not except American Express. I had to drive off and leave my lunch today because of this and I had no other cards. How a multi national chain like KFC doesn't accept American express is beyond me but that owner lost a sale because of it. Sorry read more

The worst two pieces of chicken I ever had in my entire life. They were burnt, dry and very little meat on the extra crispy breast or thigh. If the manager cared about quality the would have thrown them out many hours before I arrived instead of serving them to a customer. Which I am not now as I will never return to that KFC. Of course having the dining room closed you don't know what you got unit you get home. They probably have it closed on purpose just for that reason as every other restaurant in the area has their dining room open. Colonel Sanders would have this place shut down if he saw the lack of quality of his famous receipt. Stay away from this place. read more

Honestly this place is ok, and the food is usually good whenever we go. Once in a while during a rush you might get chicken that's a tad cold but usually it's hot and fresh. I like this location better than other KFCs, like the one in Riverview off of 301 tends to have really slimy old tasting chicken for some reason, but this one does much better, in my opinion. They have a great value for the food you get too, like we usually get one of the $5 boxes and it's delicious. Even comes with a cookie. :3 I would say they do ok on cleaning, like the place isn't a total mess when we go but could probably be a little better on the upkeep... The one thing that bothers me the most about this place is that ALL of their tables in the dining area are wobbly! Like every single one, you cannot just move to another table because it will always be the same or even worse. It's ridiculous and they need to fix this problem. Would have given 4 stars if not for the super wobbly tables. I hate it because it always makes my soda go flat! Gross. PLEASE FIX YOUR TABLES KFC!!! read more

2 years after the pandemic began and still only have drive thru open. Inexcusable. Time to put the big boy pants on, hire staff and open fully. read more

3 rd time I have eaten here and every time they never get my order right, I got up to the counter to tell them they forgot my wedges and find out they never even put them in, it's the same people every time and no name tags so it's not like I can complain about specific people, check ur bags before u leave I'm sure ur order will be wrong read more

This location reminds me why I haven't eaten KFC in years. When my I walked in I was in immediate disgust. The dining area was filthy and there wasn't a single clean table. The trash cans were over-flowing and there was trash on the ground. The buffet had crusted food that had clearly been there for hours upon hours probably sitting at unsafe temperatures. I ordered the chicken tender combo with Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes. The food was cold other than the tenders. The only reason I agreed to stay is because my grandfather had his heart set on the chicken. The drink station was a mess and the tray on the machine was full and close to flooding. The place also smelled like dirty wet rags. All in all I feel as if the problem was due to being understaffed as the girl behind the register was also responsible for cleaning the lobby. Overall I was really dissapointed and won't be back. read more

This place is always great we love the buffet we were sad that they stopped serving grilled chicken but its always hot and fresh

Okay so let's start w I ORDERED a simple order, 3 tenders meal and famous bowl ! Get home and we got a box of biscuits (no tenders) then my famous bowl was supposed to have extra cheese .. call the store to let them know the MANAGER tells me it's nothing he can do about it. And he didn't even sound apologetic! MAYBE EMPLOYEES SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT THEY ARE PUTTING INTO A BAG. NOW IM SITTING HERE UPSET BC "it's nothing that they can do" read more

This place was just remodeled and it was our first time back, the management is still Bad, management still yells at employees while customers are present, The food buffet is still not properly replenished, new food is put on top of the old food, this is a violation ,dining room still is dirty with tables and floor. No gloves were used, no hands were washed, people touching her face handling food not good. We are done with this restaurant. read more

First kfc buffet I've ever had, other than it being busy it was great! Excellent price also,I fed 4 guys for $30 and they definitely offer senior discount! read more

This establishment is a disgrace! The chicken tasted old and was tough and they forgot to give us our cookies. We were given three refills because the drinks were awful. I requested a different drink, but the girl at the window served me the same one. Not to mention the restaurant employee's terrible singing, which only added to the misery. Don't waste your hard-earned money by coming here. It's best to just eat at home. read more

food was tasty. it totally made up for the awful customer service and nasty restrooms

Chicken was delish, however they ran out of biscuits in the drive thru during lunch rush. They offered an extra side to make up for it. All food was hot and fresh when I got home. Very yummy. Need to try their buffet soon. Close and convenient to our rv park :) read more

This KFC has a buffet, chicken is put out hot as needed. The workers are nice, they wear gloves. The dining area is clean, we went at lunch and the tables were wiped. It was very busy, this kept the chicken and the sides hot. The buffet is $7.49, drink included. Plenty of parking. It's off exit 240, off I 75. read more

This location is excellent!!! Sandwich is the absolute best. Kudos to your workers, they are awesome

Delicious delicious delicious The chicken is hot and delicious a biscuits mass potatoes and gravy Can I beat it for the price thank you very much read more

I prefer to use the drive thru here and get orders to go, but they do offer a all you can eat buffet inside for about $8. The food we get to go has always been hot and tasted good, except for the slaw we recently got with a 20 piece original meal. The slaw was dry and not the cool creamy yummy cole slaw that we normally get from KFC. The mashed potatoes, gravy, biscuits, and chicken were all hot and tasty. Their chicken and meals do cost more than going to a grocery store for hot ready to eat fried chicken, but KFC is much higher quality, so you get what you pay for, usually. read more

Terrible management here. Food all over the floor, tables were not clean, service was slow. I had the Buffett and it was almost impossible to get their attention to get a clean plate. This is not the first bad experience here. I would say if you are hungry...keep driving to the next restaurant. read more
