Ordered from the cashier, and another server places a bag on the counter after the customer who ordered after me (orders were placed out of order with multiple people waiting. After placing the bag on the counter she glared at me. I assumed it's mine and not other people's food. I politely asked, "Is this the famous bowl?" She chastised me replying, "Is that what you ordered? THEN THAT'S WHAT IT IS!" Sorry for not having x-Ray vision. Maybe, work on common courtesy. read more

I love this KFC and am surprised at some of the negative reviews. The manager lady is cool and works really hard. They are short-staffed nowadays so do expect to wait if you want something particular. They usually give me a free drink for waiting but you probably won't get one if you're acting snotty. The food is much better than other KFCs. Some other places the chicken is greasy or the breadcrumbs fall right off in chunks. read more

Started coming here when the price of a chicken and biscuit was less than $2.00. But had to stop after getting food poisoning from something. Then I remember when I waited in line for the $1 Tuesday specials which quickly moved to $1.69. Now I come back and prices and nothing is the same anymore. Staff isn't very friendly and prices aren't comparable to other fast food places. read more

I am so thankful for Paulette and her crew! I had a huge order that needed to be made, and I was happy that it was made fresh and packed quickly. I will be returning to this Kfc location. Thank you so much, Paulette! read more

Used to be better, today original recipe, overcooked and chewy, they forgot to include biscuit and butter, Lady behind the counter always in bad mood and screaming at customer. That's my take...... read more

I ordered a 3 piece extra crispy, 12 piece family bucket, and classic crispy sandwich meal. I've been here over 30 minutes waiting for my meal. The saving grace is the are playing the movie despicable me on the tV read more

Not all KFC's are created equally in SF. The branch on 6th avenue and Geary has never been "on" with their flavors and seasonings, bleh! They're even a little oily. That's why I would rather come to this Taraval location. They always have their chicken DOWN! Add to that, the service here is fast, friendly, and precise! The only negative about the KFC Taraval is that parking bites most of the time and so does the traffic safety. Even though there's a designated and marked pedestrian crosswalk, cars come speeding though when you are trying to walk from one corner to the other, barely missing you sometimes! I mean, what kind of rush can a driver accomplish by speeding through an intersection only to have to stop at a red light that's 1/2 block up?!?!?! Oh, wait, there's a SFPD Station up the block? Well then, maybe the police should pass out more tickets here!!! read more

Ugh I do not understand all of the 2-star reviews. Are you rating based on quality of food? Nutritional value? Customer service? You're at KFC/Taco Bell, y'all. If you're looking for fine dining at KFC/Taco Bell then you're going to have a bad time. 5 stars because: 1.) they have parking lot (small but FREE PARKING) 2.) they are FAST. Seriously. I come here a lot and I never have to wait more than a few minutes for my food. 3.) customer service isn't even bad. They always thank me for my business and don't stare at me like they hate me when I say "no tomatoes". 4.) mmmmm comfort food 5.) Free refills lol read more

KFC - Mmmmm - Fast Food Near Me - San Francisco, California

Someone once asked me, "You don't eat there, do you?" referring to the KFC nearby. To which I responded, "No. Of course not. I take it to go." They were not pleased with my answer. Whatever. Sometimes I just can't resist the Colonel's 11 herbs and spices. read more

Came here to pick up an order the chubby lady who acts like the person charge is very rude ordering the other employees around I think she discriminates again the other employees plus the service is very slow she need more training to be the lead here . read more

Imma be fat if my boyfriend doesn't stop craving kfc!!! T____T It's really close to home and supposedly has better spicy fried chicken than other places. The workers are really nice and probably remember us by now cuz we go so often :X They have great deals in random days and ( if you like those honey BBQ wings) you can ask them to dip ur chicken in BBQ sauce and they'll do it at no extra cost! Awesomeee Parking is easy too read more

I'm not one to waste my time on fast food reviews but this was horrible! The register jockey was in some sort of competition to take my order as quickly as possible, i made it a point to answer her veeeeerrrry sloooowwly... I give this place 2 stars, one for cleanliness and one for being a pretty classy looking KFC but at the end of the day this place made me feel more processed than the food. read more

KFC - Small mac n cheese. Rip off! - Fast Food Near Me - San Francisco, California

Please listen to other bad comments! This location always runs out of food hours before closing time. I tried to call in advance before driving there and no one ever picks up. Btw, Was helped by Wilson and he is just rude by nature. I don't understand how he got hired, hence, KFC really has no standard here! Never coming back. read more

This kfc closes at 10pm. Came here just now, on a Sunday at 9pm, they said they outta chicken... wtf Ordered a triple double crunchwrap thats suppose to be $3.50 n was charged a $5 box meal Tried to order a large mash potato n they say they only have 1 small mash potato left... The fck? Never ever been to a kfc that ran out of chicken an hr before closing time before. read more

Customer service was very poor, manager cannot open more than one cashier when there was over seven people waiting in line after 25 minutes of waiting, customer service is slow and efficient. Clientele is often rude and inconsiderate. Bad service slow and in efficient read more

Please don't go to this place! The food is terrible and the staff is not any better. I ordered their classic chicken sandwich and it was super dry. My teeth even hurt when I tried to bite into it. There is a particular employee that stood out. She was sitting down yelling at all the other workers. This creates a terrible atmosphere that makes you want to run out of the place! Save your money! read more

How does Kentucky fried chicken run out of chicken at 9pm when they close at 10pm? Chicken is literally part of your name. I'm sure there was more chicken but they didn't want to fry it in case it turns out to be a waste since it's towards the end of the night. I get it but there was still people coming in and lining up at 9pm. Settled for hot wings and a chicken sandwich. The hot wings were old, over cooked/fried and sad. Chicken sandwich is no where near on par with jolliebee, Popeyes or chick-fil-a. This isn't the first time I've gotten crappy food at this location. I hope kfc's general manager/ district manager sees this review and does some kind of secret shopping or investigation to see how crappy their quality of food is. I have no problem with the employees. Just quality of food or lack thereof. read more

The cashiers are rude and really disorganized. Takes forever to get your order then long wait for your food begins Wouldnt recommend this location to Anyone read more

This place is terrible, it should be shutdown or have ownership changed. Ordered thru Grubhub a chicken tender meal. My delivery came and I only got the chicken tenders and nothing else. The driver himself told me to never order from this location, said employees don't care. Never will order from this location again or recommend it to anyone. read more

It's a fast food chain. I don't expect much; but fried chicken. And they haven't served me anything else; but the Colonel Sanders fried chicken. Sides are always consistent. It does get busy after school gets out, Being that a high school is near by. But that just something to think about; if you're in a hurry. read more

Rudest, dumbest and slowest workers that I have ever seen. I left and went to the KFC o Ocean, and they were fast and pleasant.

Well, sometimes one desires to order from KFC every once in a while. I must admit that this is the only location for miles. It's been in the neighborhood for decades actually & has been there for our long ago picnics when our son was a baby and over the subsequent years. With COVID-19 and SIP orders in our immediate lives nowadays delivery is the best way to go when ordering food. KFC is one of the BEST in delivery at least here in the vicinity of this location. It's via Grubhub & we've always had our orders prepared and delivered immediately. The delivery people are always great. The chicken and sides have always been hot and fresh. So no complaints there. However, there is one negative point: Price per side. The photos of the sides are misleading for the 'small' sizes. Be aware that for $3.09 per mashed potato it's one of those teeny tiny red plastic containers you'll receive. Same with the corn @ $3.99 each. Very very expensive for what it is. They need to lower the prices of these as it's way to exorbitant! read more

I ordered for pickup and this KFC gave me food poisoning from their fried chicken. Do not go here. You'd ought to think that the restaurant would take safety measures given the ongoing pandemic, but this is not the case. They don't care about the public's health. read more

You're Chinese if you love chicken. You're Chinese if you love deals. You're Chinese if you love Tuesday 99 cent - 2 pc leg and thigh deals. You're Chinese if you love to maximize your deals by going for 2 orders. You're Chinese if you don't mind waiting for 20 minutes in line. You're Chinese if you gripe about paying 60 cents for the meter. You're Chinese. Yes you are. You have a little in you. Fact! read more

So after I turned in my Oprah coupon at Irving Street, I took my other coupon and ran over to Taraval Street. The chicken here was a lot bigger. Like twice as big. You'd think they'd get a standard size of chicken, but I guess not. But the line was also twice as big, probably since Lincoln high is right around the corner. No surprises there. And the manager? Man, you could tell she was in the zone. She was barking orders to her team, and even the people in line, like a drill sergeant. If anything, it was kind of funny. I mean, it is KFC after all. Anyway, I guess I have a lot more to say about this KFC other than the free chicken. I've been going to this KFC for almost 20 years now. I can't even believe that I can say that about any place, let along about a fast food restaurant. All the finger-lickin' memories. Hanging here with a jr. high school buddy on hot summer days. Picking up honey bbq wings with a girlfriend on rainy after school afternoons. Good luck trying to park here, they've got a few spaces in the back, but it always seems to be full when you need it the most. read more

Ok, guys. I'd like to share something. My name is Lisa X. And I have a problem...I'm addicted to Tuesday chicken specials. No matter where it is, KFC or Popeye's you'll see me there every Tuesday. I think one week I strayed away from those delicious fried suckers, but I always seem to find my way to them (or it the other way around?). This branch always has a long line and I always see the usual Tuesday suspects. It's one of the smaller KFC/Taco Bells I've seen. Being a chain, you get the same stuff you see in all stores so I won't go into detail about all the happenings here. Here are some things to look out for: -they run out of chicken fast so if you want a certain kind (grilled, crispy, or original) be prepared to have an alternate -there are only like ten seats so you might as well take your grub home -there's no restroom -sometimes they don't have chicken pot pie (this made me sad one week) Other than that, this is the usual KFC. The two guys that run the registers are pretty nice. They're nicer than most fast food cashiers if you ask me. If anyone needs a chicken buddy on Tuesday, hit me up, read more

Change of management or something, but I love the Relief manager there. He knows what he's doing to get customers to come back! I havent come here since high school until today. After watching some tv, and KFC commercials keep popping up, I decided that we were going to have it for dinner tonight. DANG, so many people were in line! We got the UNBEATABLE FEAST for $17.99 this came with 10 piece chicken bucket 5 corn on a cobb 5 biscuits 2lbs mash potatoe w/gravy 1lb cole slaw We asked for original, but they were out......he said we should wait 10mins, because it is worth the wait, it will be REALLY fresh. So we decided to wait, and he gave us 2 free drinks because we were so understanding. :D I think HE was the understanding one. I sipped on strawberry Fanta as we waited and it was faster than expected. Then before we left, the manager shook my mom's hand, and thanked her again for her patience. Yes, kfc is bad for you, but once in a while its aightttttttttt. Id def come back to this location again. He was right, food was hot and fresh! So was the cole slaw!! My sister in law said it tasted different, YEAH, because it was FRESH! read more

KFC and Super Bowl. KFC and Super Bowl. A perfect match. How do I know? You show up and the paid receipts line up in a long row on the counter and a ton of guys are there picking up their red & white buckets. It was a bucket kind of day. Can't you picture it like a 3 milliion bucks commerical? Big bellied guy with other big bellied guys on the the couch, KFC bucket, chips, salsa, guacamole, beer and soda and feet up on the coffee table, followed by shouting, jumping and yelling, What was I doing there? Going for the petite food - hot wings, crispy, moist and a zang of spiciness. Ahhhhh. read more

The KFC I frequent the most is the one on Irving and and 20th Ave. Until the chicken got bad. I posted a review on yelp about that same location. So I decided to try out this location on Traval street. I purchased the two piece thigh/leg special for $1.49 on Tuesday. Same cost as the other location. What a HUGE difference. The chicken pieces are bigger than the Irving street one. Nice golden color and not dark brown. And no greasy dark brown oil on the bottom of the bucket like that of Irving street. I took a bite into the Spicey Chicken and it tasted good! As if I've never eaten real KFC in the past. Now THIS is how KFC chicken is supposed to taste like. Not the half-ass chicken that the Irving Street location serve. I would have given this location a five star. Mainly because the few times I've went to this location, one of the employees scares the hell out of me. She's a larger African American woman, named Paulette, working the counter taking the orders. She's never done anything to me personally. But the few times I've been there, she's always yelling or barking at her employees. A few times, she'll be doing the same to the customer. Like a Drill Sargent talking really LOUD! I'm sure she's just in the zone barking the same questions to the customers. "DO YOU WANT ORIGINAL, SPICEY or CRISPY!!!" And she does it LOUD!!! I watch where while standing in line and it freaks and confuses the customers sometimes. When I get up to there, I make my order to the point. "I want an order of the Tuesday special in original to go"... Then she'll bark, "HOW MAN ORDERS?!" (I already told her an order), so I say, just one order. Then she'll bark, "DO YOU WANT ORIGINAL, SPICEY or CRISPY!!!" (i already told her original) so I tell her again, original. Then she asks, "FOR HERE OR TO GO?!!"... Dude... you're taking orders... You REALLY need to listed to the customers instead of barking all the time. She's like the Soup Nazi from the Seinfeld show. Mean as hell. Other that that, the chicken in this location us finger lickin' good! read more

When i was really young, my grandma used to push me in a stroller down and around Lincoln High School, sometimes when i was a good boy she would push me down to KFC and get me a chicken little. Boy i loved those chicken littles, they were small and simple. This was probably the only reason why i enjoyed KFC, unfortunetley they took those away and tried to bring it back but failed quite horribly.. I remember trying it again and realized how dry and tastless they were..i wish i never went back to try it~ o well at least the memories of how wonderful it tasted still lingers in my mind~ my grandpa likes fried chicken...unfortunetly there are no Popeyes close by so hes only been able to enjoy KFC...but its always a great time whenever I bring some KFC over. Funny how these places can bring back lots of memories~ *sniff* read more

I would zero stars if I could. 1. I overheard the manager saying that she was holding some of the food on the side so she could take it to church. WTF. I'm assuming she's the manager cuz she was sitting around doing nothing and telling the workers what to do. 2. The workers are a mess. 3. They give you very little food compared to before. 4. They don't give you a bag or napkins or sauce. You have to ask for it. 5. Go to Popeyes. read more

Can't a girl get some KFC? Seriously! I take my precious pup to the optometrist on Taraval and this particular KFC is across the street. Twice I have gone in (against my better judgment) I made an effort to get me some greasy fried chicken. And twice now I have stood at the counter waiting for the staff behind the counter to 1. acknowledge me and 2. take my order; I was not acknowledged therefore no order was taken. Really? What is up with that? The first time I went in, albeit, I was not patient (parking meter was running out of time), I gave them a minute to at least acknowledge my presence -- I was ignored. Piece, I'm out; and I do mean piece as in piece of chicken. This last time (and I do mean LAST time) I allotted myself extra time and put more money in the parking meter because I knew it was going to take some time to 1. be acknowledged and 2. give my order and wait for the meal. Inside the restaurant there was a family of three in front of me and no one else. The family ordered their meals and the young man behind the counter took their order/money and told them it would be about 10 minutes. I'm observing the other staff in the back behind a monstrosity that looks like a set up station and figured they would be the ones to put together the order while the young man continues to take another order; my order. I was wrong. While standing at the counter for what felt like forever I was completely ignored by the young man taking orders and the three staff members behind the monstrosity. Slowly the young man started to put together the orders from the family ahead of me. Let me tell you, he moved slower than molasses. During this time not once did he look up to acknowledge my presence and/or say I'll be right with you, instead, he continued to move slow and steady processing the orders in what appeared as he didn't know the menu. I painfully watched this display for about 7+ minutes while his co-workers moved just as slow in the back going on about doing nothing. My time is precious, the parking meter is running out and well, like that, I'm out too. And never to return because, in the 7+ forever minutes I stood there I noticed how dirty and dingy this KFC looked and well, I'm not sure what their health inspection score is but I can bet it's 80% or lower. Just an observation. read more

I've been to this KFC/Taco Bell a couple times. It's average. There aren't a lot of tables, but I've been to KFCs with less. My one note is the service has been a little slow each time I've been there. Not horribly slow, but slow enough. (It may have been because I was really hungry.) read more

Little girl with glasses that works at the register just beeing extremly rude everytime. There is a feeling that she simply throws off her negativity on the customers, after black woman bitching her out in front of the whole store. Poor girl... these kind of managers deserve employers like that. That location became a disaster after mexican manager woman left. Other black woman beeing very rude too and she also makes mistakes. Hope they will change the whole team soon if you can call it so :) read more

UPDATE: the tuesday special is now 2 pieces for $1.49 (used to be 99 cents). They also have a monday and wednesday special of 2 pieces of chicken, corn, mash potatoes, and a biscuit for $2.99. Still a good change of pace in terms of fast food. read more

I mean who isn't a sucker for fried chicken. I mean really. Don't even try to tell me you don't sometimes have one of those days were you want to just consume deep fried meat products. But damn this KFC for existing. I shouldn't be able to satisfy my fried chicken craving so easily. It's frustrating to have the lack of my will power always being rubbed in my face with each new bite of delicious golden fried goodness. Oh and no KFC, I don't want grilled chicken. Don't you know me, I thought we had been through some things over the years. You know I like it fried. Hot and fried. How dare you. read more
