The KFC on State Street in South Salt Lake City was a fun and unexpected stop for me. I am not usually a huge KFC fan, but once I learned that the very first Kentucky Fried Chicken was in the Salt Lake City area, I had to check it out. The restaurant itself is larger than a typical location and filled with great memorabilia, including the Colonel's famous white suit. It really does feel like a cross between a fast food restaurant and a small museum. Even if you are not there for the chicken, it's worth visiting just to see the history and take it all in. read more

I had to see this place before I left Utah. I wished that I could have seen the original restaurant structure in Salt Lake City Utah. This was the first restaurant was introduced with the Harlan brothers and Conell Sanders. It has the modern day look with many of the vintage memorabilia's. read more

Osmar was amazing! We came in to eat and experience the 1st franchised store. He made us feel so welcome and the service was excellent. What a fun thing for us to do on our family reunion. read more

We were greeted when we got there, the team member was so patient with a 5 year old who couldn't make up her mind lol, the food was really good and we were thanked for coming in when we were leaving. This is incredible customer service. We visited in Saturday, March 4th at 6:00 pm. Please give big props to the crew for providing such courtesy and great attitudes read more

What a special place! The giant conference table and private meeting room were awesome. Osmar specifically was super friendly to our party and told us a little about the history of the place! Never thought I'd say this, but I'd totally come back specifically to this KFC location! read more

Obviously the main draw here is that it's the first KFC location in America, but what else is Murray Utah known for. Standard KFC offerings, a private dining area as well as a larger than most main dining area. Drive thru. Staff was friendly and corporate. Bathroom was clean with an easily hackable code, so perhaps their need for the code has gone down that they no longer make it hard. Prices actually seemed lower than other parts of the country, so i'm not sure they match like other chains. I expected alot more memorabilia considering the history. Food was as expected, but also they had all the sauce packets out which was a change of pace of having to ask for extra honey at most places. I found the food slightly less greasy than other places. Tbh I would return here next time i'm in the area. It's odd that they have 3 doors with no outside access and only 1 main door, so when I walked up I had to go all the way around from the street. read more

Inside service was clean and prompt. Chicken was crispy and fresh. Sodas were perfectly made with the right c2 pressure as well. I want to go back that's for sure read more

This was the cleanest KFC or even fast food for that matter, I have ever seen! They even had a little museum inside of past KFC memories

Ordered 8 variety pieces for pick up but ended up with 7 drumsticks + 1 thigh piece at home. Come on! Can't KFC staffs get my order correct for what I paid for? read more

KFC - Ordered 8 variety pieces but received 7 drumsticks & 1 thigh piece - Fast Food Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

I am opening up a case with the Better Business Bureau. You refuse to refund my the $30 for a bucket of chicken that I ordered last night. I am putting this information everywhere online I possibly can to let people know NOT to buy from KFC. I put the instructions in the order how to deliver the order, but the driver DID NOT READ THEM!!! I sat by the gate texting for 20-30 minutes trying to explain in text messages how to find the correct road. Eventually they texted that the food had been "put in a safe place." There was nothing there!! I may not get my money back, but EVERYONE will KNOW how dishonest KFC is. You have lost a lifelong customer forever. read more

Finger lickin' good! The best fried chicken around. Crispy, juicy, and always hits the spot.

I just tried to stop by this kfc location, and the girl who was taking the order (younger sounding) as I ordered a spicy chicken with no mayo laughed so hard through the intercom and basically called me dumb saying it wasn't going to be spicy then with the most ugly tone then an older lady popped in both laughing hard still .. then giving me the same tone like I'm stupid as they're both laughing hard through the intercom I'm asked do you still want that . I told them both that's so disrespectful and Rude forget the order never mind I don't need anything! They really pissed me off. Then while pulling around and passing the window the older lady tried to pop out the window and get us to stop .. FOR WHAT ? So you can disrespect me more to my face and laugh some more ? Makes no sense . Zero. NO THANK YOU. How disgusting! How EXTREMELY rude I get this is only a kfc but not even McDonald's workers act this way. Were they on drugs ? Were they drunk ? Not a clue but if you can't even take an order without laughing the way you did and not turning off the microphones so I couldn't hear the comments and laughter I'd say you shouldn't be working in a fast food place. I'm really baffled. KFC CHECK YOUR EMPLOYEES. No wonder the ratings here are so low . read more

Just visiting another food landmark... Why is this KFC different from the other locations? There is a life-size bronze statue of Colonel Sanders outside next to another bronze statue of another man. So everyone knows Colonel Sanders already but the other statue is Pete Harman. Who?? He opened this first KFC franchise in Aug 1952. While it was in the State of Kentucky where Colonel Sanders first sold his chicken, it was here in Salt Lake City UT where the first KFC franchise was born. The awning above the entrance inside greets every guest with the following: "Welcome to the Home of the World's First Kentucky Fried Chicken" We didn't dine here. This was a quick detour to see a tribute to the faithful partnership of the Colonel and Pete. At the time of our visit the dining room was still closed to the public due to COVID-19. I would've liked to see more memorabilia inside. Drive-thru was open. Located in the corner of 3900 South and State Street -- smack dab in the middle of the Salt Lake Valley. Review #1809 read more

good food and fast customer service and clean atmosphere and friendly people love the food and The love they give to their food

The last time they got our order wrong and there seemed to be a language problem. Don't think we will be back soon.

What the hell has happened to KFC? I really use to enjoy KFC occasionally (couple times a year ) but they have taken "sucks" to a new level. Their worst store use to be 5900 So and State but this "original" location is worse. Stop by yesterday afternoon for the 4th of July and chicken just sounded good. Roll up and order a 8 piece crispy family combo. They tell me it will be 30 minutes! I said how, you sell CHICKEN? It's in the name! So I asked what they do have. Original. I said that's fine. We get up to the window, pay and they ask me to pull forward to wait. Why are we waiting? You said you had the original recipe?? We ended up waiting 15 minutes and when we finally got home, we had one breast, one thigh, 5 wings and 1 leg. Are you shitting me? I'm done with KFC. The food is horrible and the service even worse. This seems to be an on going theme. No chicken. read more

Every other time I order throught app to the 3890 s state location there are issues with the app. But this time I ordered 3 famous bowls. Only one looked like it should the other two literally didn't have the proper amount of potatoes, cheese. Literally the two bowls looked like they had half a scoop each for mashed potatoes. A few sprinkling of cheese. Very disappointed, this is not the first time this has happened. Will be hoing to another location in the future.​​ read more

The Service is beyond expectations they are so happy and friendly there.Especially that wonderful lady named Jovan. She is always so friendly and when I come there she makes me laugh. You can't beat her service. read more

I've got to say that fast food isn't always amazing and I've had a friend that worked for KFC and she said it's disgusting there. However, I must say that I've had food from here more times than I care to admit since COVID, and the food has been yummy and comforting. Yes, I know it's not the healthiest, but it's delicious and prepared in a manner that makes me feel good to eat it. Keep it up! read more

best kfc in the country, service is always good and always looks and feels like a clean environment. The displays are really cool and the manager is amazing read more

Great food. Never been to a KFC with buffet. They had the buffet stocked. The staff was super courteous. All you caN eat baby!! What was cool is that you could try things you wouldn't normally order. I had the green beans and peas, just because. Big layout of the building with lots of history to read about. It was super fun and much more fun than your normal KFC. read more

When ordering a 3-piece meal in drive-through, was only given 2 pieces. It was late at night and I didn't go back to talk to KFC until the next day to ask for a replacement. They asked me if I ate the chicken already (of course, it was the night before). All I asked for was the missing piece and was planning on making an additional order. I won't go back to this location. Customer service was terrible. read more

I love fried chickens and this location has all you can eat Kentucky fried chicken! I heard that this location is the first KFC in the states and that's why they do a buffet. This outside has the statures of KFC grandpa and the inside has like awards or frames. Not sure what they are but they look fancy. The booths look nicer than other locations too. The all you can eat is only $9 something (under $10), which I think is a really great deal! They mainly have 4 types of chicken to choose from: original, extra crispy, baked, and grilled ones. They also have sides like corns, mashed potatoes, gravy, carrots, and wedge fries. They have more sides too but I don't usually get them so I don't comment too much. They keep the chicken enough for people to grab. I love that they don't have a time limit for the all you can eat. I tried bringing my laptop finishing my essay while eating for like several hours. The quality of the food is not any worse than if you just order them. You can get a cup for fountain drinks and you can get as much refills as you want. So if you like fried chickens and want as much as you want. This place is definitely recommended. read more

The manager Erick was great! He was very helpful and nice. Our food was hot and fresh.

received email apologizing from KFC Customer Care regarding my experience last week.. I spent 90 minutes tried my order 3 times, actually 4 times, my wife tried twice and so did I. Spoke with your manager on duty and he even called his GM, at least thats he told me and said call this number then i can help you. . I showed him my receipt and the charges to my account. Called your help desk #, and waited for 45 minutes before anyone picked up. So, no dinner ... too late to go somewhere else.. And all you can do for is apologize! REAL GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE!! Your team could have, at the least, did something. Guess I need to post this "excellent" customer service . read more

The first KFC in the States. Amazing interior decors, the tables and walls were covered with historical facts of KFC. Souvenirs like T-shirts, aprons were available for purchase as well. There is also a buffet option available. Average service over the counter. The original recipe was delicious and well spiced. However the rest of the dishes tasted quite bad. Taste: 7/10 Presentation: 6/10 Service: 7/10 Ambience: 10/10 Value for money: 9/10 read more

Terrible customer service. The employee told me to drive around the building and park at the end of the side walk and pointed in that direction. Customer behind me got out of his car to scream at me that I was told to stop at the stop sign. (I don't know where he got his information, he was not behind me at the time or anywhere where he would have heard) Employee 100% said "END OF THE SIDEWALK" while pointing there. I was already past the stop sign when this instruction was given. Employee did not help the situation at all. read more

KFC Buffet?! = Yay! KFC Buffet FOOD = what the hay?! Here's how you do it: walk in, pay for the adult (or kid) buffet plan, claim your seat, then get up and go to the corner for some buffet looking setup with KFC food in it. Like I said, food is meh (soggy fried skin on the chicken, stale or plain tasting vegetables, artificial/chemical tasting apple pie, and firm/tough mashed potatoes), slow refill time on food, and no waiter service.. .. anywho, still nice to say I've been to the world's first KFC, and ate at their buffet. :) read more

KFC - WORLD'S first KFC!! - Fast Food Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

I arrived with a neighbor who'd been craving Kentucky Fried Chicken, so we ordered a two-piece dinner for each of us& he was totally happy with the delicious original recipe chicken! I too was pleased when they corrected their error giving me two Thighs& a wing vs a Breast+ a Wing. When I informed them, they gave me two Chicken-Breasts in a box to take home or eat in their restaurant. Excellent Customer Service& I'm a Graduate from the University of Utah in Public Relations+ Speech-Communications completing my Internship in SLC H.R. so would give THIS Restaurant (America's 1st Kentucky Fried Chicken Restaurant,), an A+! Food was the perfect temperature and the chicken was tender& NOT overcooked. Excellent Food+ a treat for the taste-buds! read more

Craved a couple of chicken little sandwiches. One buffalo. One Nashville hot. There was no sauce on either sandwich. Plus they were not warm. I watched the crew joking around before someone handed me my order. You've lost a good customer. read more

I had a 12 piece meal. The biscuits were bent and folded and not properly cooked. The cole slaw was dry and old and the extra crispy chicken was soggy and didn't taste like it should. The instant mashed potatoes were mediocre. That was the best thing I had. Never again! read more

way overpriced at $25. You only get one mashed potatoes and gravy now instead of two, the chicken pieces are so small it's like they have miniature size chickens. better off going to Winco. you can get 16 full size pieces with cole slaw for $8 less. The biscuits are ok but the fake butter and honey sucks. If KFC is still in business in 5 years, I'll be surprised. read more

If I wasn't late and I didn't have to drive from point a (Magna) to point b (Holladay), I would not have pulled into the drive-thru. My instincts said to go inside, and from now on, I will listen. We were in the drive-thru line for thirty minutes. The person on the intercom took my order no less than six times. I will never eat here again. read more

All my expectations for a great KFC meal. Restaurant was clean, service was great and personnel were friendly. Food was hot & delicious. Everything on menu was available. (Unlike some I've been to) This is KFC VERY FIRST restaurant so lots of memorabilia and souvenirs. It also has an all you can eat buffet. Loved it! read more

I use to go to KFC at least once a week for lunch. After getting several orders of meat with the broken purple veins in it and the lousy grease flavor of the cooking process, I gave up. I didn't go to KFC for over three months. Then one Saturday while out running errands and having a craving for fried chicken, I gave KFC another try. I ordered a two piece meal. I got a wing and a leg. Usually when I have ordered the two piece meal, I would get a leg and a thigh. The flavor of the meat was so bad I ended up trowing it out. I will no longer go to KFC. I can't believe that a company such as KFC will just stand by and do nothing to increase the quality of their product. It's as if they just don't care any more. I work to hard to earn the money that I get and will no longer waste it on KFC. read more
