They were extremely busy right before closing when I was there. I had a bit of a wait for my meal, but understandable considering the large orders they had come in about 10 minutes before closing! They all were very kind & apologetic for me having to wait. I know what it’s like in their shoes, having spent 30+ years in food & beverage industry myself! People don’t understand, unless they’ve worked in that industry, what work it is to close a restaurant! It’s hard work & extremely time consuming! I give these gentlemen a 5 for being professional & great employees alone!

Cashier was extremely rude and messed up our order 3 times. They then proceeded to fill our spicy famous bowls to the top with oil which I don’t think could’ve been done by accident. So now when we open the bowls that oil is going to spill everywhere. And when we asked for her name she refused to give it and closed the window in our face.

I love the wings because they’re nice and greasy and I love that but the rest of their food is awesome too usually at other places the breasts are dry but here’s or not they’re nice and juicy the service is great I recommend this place for everyone

The service at the drive thru left a lot to be desired. She asked us to repeat our entire order 3 times and then again when we got to the window. She seemed to be spaced out.

This was the worst chicken I have ever had. It was dry and looked like it was old. My kids wouldn’t even eat it. My first order went to the wrong address so I had to order a second time and it’s trash. Very disappointed I have always gotten my chicken here and now my last.

My last review of a KFC was the worst I’ve ever written. It took me a few months to try a different KFC. This place did it right. And so quick too!
