Decent KFC. Hard to judge on the food, as fast food is almost always a hit or miss, so the cleanliness and the service become key. Decent cleanliness here. The service is pretty fast too. Place could probably stand for a remodel, update some of their stuff, but otherwise it's alright. read more

I realize that fast food is by no means a gourmet meal, but it should at least be edible. I went through the drive-thru on an afternoon weekday, and only one person was in front of me. I placed my order from seemingly the most miserable person in the world. At the window, I waited for several minutes before being greeting with nothing more than my total. Understandable. It's a fast food drive-thru on a busy highway. However, it wasn't until I got to work before opening the bag to check my food. The biscuits were still doughy. Doughy. I wish I was exaggerating. I thought I could toss those and salvage the rest of the meal. But, when I opened the box of chicken, there was a hair in it! At this point I had lost my appetite. I will spare you the horrific leaps and bounds I had to go through to get a refund for the meal. The short of it is, even if you're starving, you're better off eating your own finger nails. (or going next door to Taco Bell) read more

Waited half an hour for a 12pc bucket in parking lot. Finally got our order and it was wrong. Employee just says sorry "bro" with no explanation. The whole time people in the drive through were getting their buckets. Seems like they forgot about us waiting. Worst service ever. read more

I went to this KFC location at 730pm Saturday night. I initially went through the drive-thru and I attempted to order a 3-piece drumstick meal. The man stated they didn't have anymore drumsticks. I couldn't really understand him, so I went inside. I went to the counter and I asked the woman at the register if they had any drumsticks and she looked at me like I had 2 heads. She eventually went and checked and she related they didn't have any drumsticks or thighs. I found it hard to believe that a restaurant that serves only chicken, was out of chicken. Whoever manages this location needs to reconfigure how much chicken is being sold. So the next time people go to KFC for chicken, there is chicken to buy. read more

I've tried to give these guys a chance, but after a third time running out popcorn chicken, i am done, whoever manages this restaurant should really pay more attention, you just lost a customer. read more

I have always gotten good food along with great customer service in the past. The food has always been a good size, hot, noo problem. Got 25 dollar fill and the bucket of chicken wasn't full. Only 8 very small pieces with hardly any meat on breast, wing, or drum stick; all extra crispy crust which I wanted. They used to have grilled chicken as well skinless, but not anymore. Customer service was so awful. Manager was not wearing a mask & broke a Massachusetts ordinance because he was less than 6 feet apart from his employees. I was yelled at because I have a stigmatism and could not read phone number to call and complain. Not the manager or one employee would write the phone number down for me. I'm so upset I will never order from this KFC again, even though it is the closest. I am astonished that a manager during this time of covid, would not wear his mask to address me when I am high risk, or even out any customer in danger. I was wearing my mask. read more

This place is the worst. I love KFC but omg I've been multiple times and, the staff were being rude and wouldn't take our order. They were opened but trying to act like they weren't there. Also we could here them laughing over the speaking. It was very unprofessional and I try to avoid coming here as much as possible the staff is awful and ghetto lol. :) read more

Biggest s### hole on the planet I never seen something so ghetto in my life total destroy my order. Half my order is missing not even worth going back read more

To the manager who corrected me on how I ordered my corn on the cob today.. When I placed my order I used Kfcs wording and asked for a side of cobbettes . I didn't make up the stupid word lol. My receipt says I was charged for cob but I was given kernels. I worked in the resturaunt industry and sometimes words are used that you may not be familiar with but it is your job to know what the resturaunt is calling items. Learn the menu wording before correcting customers. Cobbette is a little cob. If you are going to work in the industry know the terminology. I even told her that's what it said beside the photo thats why I called it that and she just said "no". Poor customer service . The kid at the window was great tho! read more

The (few) times I've come here, this kfc was mediocre/below average. But! I don't know what happened, but they are actually really great now. The staff working there are awesome, really polite, and the food was all fresh too. While I didn't like this location at all before, I believe all those changes really do deserve a positive review. read more

I must admit I only come to KFC a couple times a year. It is usually an adventure. In most casesMy order will not be what I ordered. One time it was getting a Coke instead of a Diet Coke. Another time it was getting mashed potatoes with gravy even though I just wanted the mashed potatoes with no gravy. The other day I decided to give them a try again. I do wish they would fix the many potholes on the way through the drive-through it would make it a little easier navigating around there. I ordered a four piece chicken tender with mashed potatoes no gravy just butter. I ordered a diet Pepsi and asked for salt, Pepper and honey mustard sauce. The good news was the chicken was warm and so was the biscuit. The bad news was they were out of salt, I got a potato but did not receive any butter and instead of getting honey mustard sauce I got honey. I rated this 2 stars because I keep hoping to get 1 meal correct even if it's out of 10 meals. What is depressing about this review is it was not busy there when I was there which made this a little harder to take. read more

2 cars ahead of me in drive thru- still took 25 minutes to get food. Never a napkin in the drive-thru. just a lunch of blah. My fault for thinking it might be different this time. read more

If I could give a 0 I would. I asked for extra crispy chicken and what I received, a nasty, greasy, mess! It wasn't fried, let alone extra crispy! This place has gone down hill. read more

the staff is very pleasant & professional. BUT by the time I got home and checked the bag missing part of my order. tried to call several times and the # was busy. Part of the order missing, food dried out and part of it was cold. read more

** DO NOT GO TO THIS STORE BELIEVE THE REVIEWS ** I went to the drive thru and I asked if they have any specials on chicken only and the lady in the drive-thru was very rude and was upset for me asking questions. I have a hard time hearing so I am asking my questions 2 or 3 times to assure that I understand but the lady was rude and got frustrated with me and started yelling. When she was yelling I asked if there is a manager on duty and she refused to answer me and when I ask again she closed the drive-thru window. I did not leave the window and when she came back I ask what is the manager's name or her name and she then refused again and threaten to call the police. I then proceeded to to park my car and went inside with my camera to take footage of how I am being discriminated. I was refused food and service with out explanation. I have attached a clip of the video. I will be taking legal matter in reference to this. I can't believe that I was treated the way I was.. This is unacceptable and will assure that legal action will be taken. I will make sure that this will be uploaded on every social media to know how this store handles customer of different race read more

I was there on a Sunday night, 6 employees in back, on phone, goofing around with each other. One girl pulling at her hair & dropping it on the floor! Not to my surprise, got home, eating chicken & found a huge long hair in the chicken, not on top, cooked right in there!!!!!!!!! So grossed out! Called asked for mgr., told her, she said she would write my name down & I could get my money back. Went to get money, same girl playing with her hair the other day, told me they don't give money back, other girl said Mgr. Jackie said yes, employee said well Jackies an idiot! I insisted on my money, got it & left!! Never again! Wanted to give negative stars, but yelp wouldn't let me. read more

I go to KFC at least once a week in Massachusetts this is the worst when I went to a lady ordered before me I get my meal for her the employees were yelling at each other right in front of customers I don't know where the management was I will never go there again read more

I never had a problem at this KFC except for tonight I got two famous bowls everything was perfect until I bit into glass ... tried calling the store and the phones my next call will be the board of health department . read more

Horrible waiting 10 min now for fried chicken that me and three other cars are also waiting for parked in parking spots . They were also out of chicken pot pie. It's 9pm on a Thursday night on a main high way. Hello this is suppose to be fast food!! read more

When I was a kid, I used to look forward to nights when my Dad would bring home KFC. So I thought I'd stop in today to grab a quick chicken sandwich. Walked in, people standing around waiting to order. So I asked if they were waiting, they said they were. I waited a while... no movement. Nobody addressing the queue. When I asked the two workers chatting away behind the counter if anyone was taking orders, they both just looked at me and went back to ignoring the customers. I just walked out. Not worth the time. Remember customer service? read more

Just wanted to make a suggestion. If your going to be closing the drive thru window for the time being. It would be great to have some signage, telling customers that. Some people just need to make a quick pit stop and would rather use the drive thru, instead of going inside. It would just be better customer service to give a heads up. I myself would rather know than waste my time. I saw about 3 other vehicles go next door to Taco Bell instead of parking their car and going into KFC. You guys just loss business in a matter of minutes, it would take to put a sign up. Not the end of the world, just a friendly suggestion. read more

KFC has great chicken for a cheap price. The servers are normally pretty nice and pretty quick.

Last week I waited 20 minutes until somebody talk with me in that restaurant, everybody was giving all the attention to the drive thru forgetting about the people standing in lane waiting for service. Nobody greet me and when I complain with a manager named Jackie she was very rude and said she was in the driving thru and I need to wait, she was shouting at me and I said she should be polite with the customers, after that she refuse to serve me and treat to call the police if I don't live like she order me. I felt very humiliated in that restaurant, and if is treatment you give for your customers I believe is better to look for another place to eat. By the way I will give a bad review for that restaurant. read more

We decided to try the much hyped Crispy Colonel Sandwich today. I ordered the regular one and my husband got the Nashville Hot one. For these two sandwiches and a small (individual size) fries (that supposedly had their secret seasoning) it was $18. A little (okay, a lot) steep for it but the guy at the window didn't give any chance to ask questions before slamming the window closed. When he gave me my card and no receipt, I tried to ask again and... again, window closed and he walked away. He very briefly opened the window to hand us an open and greasy bag. I was so flustered at this point, we pulled up into the parking space to just eat the food. We were SHOCKED! The fries were lukewarm and limp. These "amazing" sandwiches were no bigger than a chicken little size piece of chicken, no pickles on either with drippy warm mayo and NOTHING else. My husbands bun was old and rock hard on the bottom. DISGRACEFUL!!!!!! You can't go in to complain and the line was wrapped around the back. I will NEVER EVER go here again. If I could give ZERO stars, I would. read more

I like the location, but this KFC could use some work. You might get that sense right when you sit at a table. They're not exactly clean. I'll also add the lack of a quality service at the register. read more

The service here was horrible! The girl that took my order was rude and didn't know what she was doing! She look as if she hate her job like sweetie this is a fast food restaurant get with the program and she had the nerves to put her head on the counter while taking our order!!! Every time I go here there's always no more food like you figure fast food if it's gone you make more but nope seems like nobodies doing their job. Whatever you do don't go here. Place looks like a dump anyways! read more

I went to eat with my family the food was ok but attention of the casher was horrible the casher had a bad attitude and treaded me bad and was laghing at my accent. read more

I live really close to KFC Saugus, It was about 9pm Sunday and I wanted something. I went to this location and employees were to busy cleaning and talking to take my order. It took about 35 minutes to be served, ( I stayed calm ) 3 people came in and left. I order a 3pc meal . When I got home it was to wings and a drumstick. No drink offered. Status achieved WORST restaurant on RTE 1 read more

I've been to this location probably 4 times and I have never gotten what I ordered! I'm pretty sure they are incapable of getting any order right. And they are just plain rude. DON'T EVER GO HERE! read more

There were 3 cars in front of me, but it took them 30 minutes to finish the orders from those 3 cars. Then they told me that they don't have enough hot wings. They told me to come back in 8 minutes if I wanted. They will have the order ready by then. So I paid and left and came back in 20 minutes. Then I waited another 10 minutes, then the waitress told me that another waitress gave your order to someone else, and they ran out of hot wings, and she asked me if I wanted to wait for another 8 minutes. I was f**** pissed and went to the Taco Bell next door. It only took them 45 seconds to give me 3 tacos. This is a terrible KFC. f*** ridiculous. read more

omg, last week we went, and the store was open but no employees anywhere waited 30 minutes and still no one. went yesterday, at 8pm they had no grilled chicken available, the potatoes were only half full. the crispy chicken was soggy, never again I think the owner should look into this mess read more

Great food but behind Burger King the worst service ever. Know one knows what there doing and the menu is horrific you barely can read it.

SUPER BAD I had a bad experience with wait times on a previous visit. Any establishment could have a bad night. I went to this establishment again this evening,( 5-6-2016). I asked if there was going to be a wait time. I told her that I've been told that before that I had a long wait time. I asked if there was available inventory to fill my order. I asked the associate again if there is a wait time . She said no. Another customer said that he had been waiting for close to 30 minutes. The employee said; "You should consider that person is a liar". ( Calling a customer a liar would be a reason for me to call one of my employees.to be unemployed.) I asked to speak to the manager. The Manager would not offer an apology. She said that the employee said something and she is not responsible for the employees actions. The manager and employee were not wearing name tags. I'll be contacting Corporate @ KFC to tell them that there individuals that tarnish their brand. read more

YUCK !!! ICK !!! GROSS !!! Okay, where do I start. The past few years, this place has gone from bad to worse. DIsgusting. I was there twice in the past month. The first of those times I ordered the 3 piece extra crispy white meat (two breasts and one wing). Also, whipped potatoes and cole slaw. So, after a 25 minute wait (one car in front of me at the drive-thru), I finally received my meal. At 5:45PM on a Saturday evening they were out of crunchy chicken and asked if I wanted to wait. I said.... "yes". So I pulled over and waited. There was one person inside the place and just the one car in front of me. Anyway, there were at least 5 people all goofing around. Why wasn't anyone cooking the chicken so it would be ready for the customers? I mean they had a long night to go. I get home and the wing was missing. It was not worth my while to drive back three towns over fore one silly wing, but I was pissed off. Anyway, that was two times ago. The last time I was there about a week or so ago, I ordered the exact same thing except nobody asked me if I wanted crunchy chicken like they usually do and I forgot to ask for it. More than likely, they were out of it on a Thursday night at about 6:00 PM.... they are ALWAYS out of everything. So my order was the same as the review I wrote one paragraph above. I get home and YUCK, it was the regular chicken and it was soggy as hell. No way was I going to eat this garbage. Gross. There was only one breast and two thighs. That is not what I paid for. I paid for two white meat breasts with a wing. I don't like the thighs. I ate the cole slaw and whipped potatoes and the crumbled up biscuit and went out and got a roast beef sandwich at my local take-out place. I threw the chicken out from that order because it was not for human consumption. It was a pile of soggy limp skins. After speaking with some of my neighbors they said the exact same thing. If you get the regular chicken and not ask for the crunchy, you will more than likely throw the crap away. They do and did... and I did too. Just looking at the most horrific reviews I have ever seen for any take-out place over a period of years now, wouldn't you think that the district manager or the regional representative would get off their lazy ass and see why all the KFC's have despicable reviews. I guess they don't care. Hopefully, corporate headquarters will see these reviews and get someone up here that actually cares about what people are served and why everything is always out of stock so early in the evening or late afternoon. The quality of food sucks. I think it is time for me to print this reviews off and send them out to corporate. No wonder why they are losing money and customers. Nobody seems to care about the attitude of the employees, the quality of food, and getting the orders correct to the customer. Colonel Sanders is obviously rolling in his grave. We were lucky to get a chicken place nearby and they also have a truck in Boston for lunchtime, but they don't serve meals or buckets.... too bad for us because that is what families are looking for. They promise crinkle cut fries on their ads but that is not what you get. Hopefully someone with a culinary background will open a great FRIED CHICKEN SHACK somewhere on route one around the Peabody, Lynnfield, or Saugus area. If they have a great product and sell family meals, it would be a huge success. We in the North Shore area would gladly welcome someone who has nice fresh crunchy chicken. read more

Must be the worse KFC I've ever been to by far. Straight garbage. They take forever as if they were cooking you a gourmet meal

Who doesn't love KFC's Chicken? I know i do, but the KFC in Saugus is absolutely horrid. The Kitchens are absolutely disgusting. There is old chicken on the trays. There tables never get cleaned. The service is terrible, the cashiers don't even make eye contact and are just rude. And the worst is the menu board. It is so confusing. The prices are sky high. It is 21 bucks for a bucket of chicken and two sides not even with the drinks! It is overall Terrible. read more

Walked in this afternoon, hubby wanted chicken for dinner. The front doors were so filthy with fingerprints and grease. Then I walked in and my sandals stuck to the floor. Saw the dirty tables, turned and walked out. Management should be ashamed of themselves!!! Can only imagine how dirty the kitchen is. read more

Messed up our order. We ordered six chicken fingers, gave us three, and charged us for six. Plus the service was awful. We were once waiting in line for over 40 minutes. Never going here again. read more

This is the worst KFC I've ever been to. The staff was rude and very unpleasant. When we got our food it was old and stale. The macaroni was cold and had a hard layer in the top. When I asked for a replacement the manager scoffed at me. Our orders came with cookies which we never got and when asked about the manager called us liars and insisted we had already got them. Our meals took over 20 minutes and 3 parties were served before us when they ordered after us. It's dirty and under staffed And the few staff members they have are rude and uneducated. read more

Omg so terrible. I have been here three times and NOT ONCE have I had a good experience. Last night I tried to order three tenders and was told that they were out of them. Ok. So I ordered the popcorn nuggets. They were out of them as well. Struggle was real. So I ordered the drumstick and a thigh with a side of wedges. I was asked if I wanted to wait for the wedges because they had to make them. YES!!!! It was around 9 p.m. on Route 1, I hope they didn't think that every customer would be eating (probably cold) mashed potatoes for the rest of the night. Anyways, I got my food. The thigh was hot but tasted like what I'm assuming garbage tastes like; inedible and smelly. NASTY. Thigh tasted old and was cold and soggy. Wedges were hot but were SO bland. Arent they supposed to have some salt/seasoning on them or something?! Atleast they buttered my biscuit, because everything else went right into the trash. read more
