KFC

Fast food. lol. I waited twenty five minuets for chicken poppers and mashed potatoes. There are flies everywhere and the staff is rude. The only reason I gave two stars and not one is because the cashier was apologetic while her coworkers were in the back eating and goofing off.

Last time I was in here a fight broke out. Right different people pulled out gun. Five of the guns were fired. A total of 21 rounds. Several politicians came in to defend him rights because one of the gun owners was white.
The whole thing was bananas. Just completely crazy.
But the staff was calm throughout this entire showdown. They took orders and served food with a smile.
Why? Because they serve the fried chicken from behind bulletproof glass! Nothing can fluster this team because they are safer than reading.
If you’re ever worried your fried chicken serving team is in danger, come to this kfc. Their staff is safe!
Ps-​the gunfight story is imaginary. The bulletproof glass and calm service is true.

I give this restaurant four stars not for the food, because as the food goes the chicken was what you would expect from KFC the mash potatoes however was lacking in every way, I give it four stars for the service I received. I was appalled to see only one person working for the entire restaurant. A lone manager handling all the food stations, the cashier and everything. As you can imagine ordering and receiving your meal was a lengthy process, but this lone manager was pleasant and for the only one there efficient. When questioned about the lack of staff blatantly missing, she said it was a decision made by management to cut costs. Disgusting. Disgusting both to this wonderful employee and to the customers that suffer due to your inability to properly staff your restaurant. I am a long time fan of KFC but I honestly don’t know when I will go back there, if this is the way they treat there customers and employees. I went to the 1040 Bedford Avenue KFC on 6÷15÷15 at approximately 4:30pm

Location has been here for over 20 years. I have never had a problem with my food or the staff. The location is located in a busy area. It can be sketchy at night. I will continue to eat here when I have a craving for KFC.

We as a society have become too bougie (spellcheck).
Wanted something, fast and filling. Tonight, I didn’t mind the sodium and grease hahaha.
The cashier was professional and polite. I tried to change their combinations to get the exact pieces I wanted and guess what? She obliged with a smile.
Now I know some ah y’all foodies may be turning up your noses at this and even getting ready to click the «back button» at this point. How do I know? I was one ah y’all. But I want to drive the point in that the service I received here was exceptional!
I got my order in less than 3 mins. In fact, as I was about to sit and wait, the server was beckoning me to the counter.
4 stars to this joint. It wasn’t as clean as I would have enjoyed so that’s the only reason I’m short changing you.
The End.

Yup. This sure is a KFC. And a bulletproof one at that! No point in holding up the front-​end staff though, not even they know the 11 secret herbs and spices.
Service seems to be hit-​or-​miss here. A lot of reviewers seem to take serious issues with their cashiers, but mine was nothing but pleasant, even after I indecisively changed my order. The place seems pretty clean, too — I was impressed by the cleanliness at the late hour I visited, when most places seem to be letting themselves go.
The food, of course, was traditional KFC fare. Greasy, probably not poisonous, but exactly what I needed at the moment. Stale cookie, weird potatoes, that’s the KFC life.

My friend and I came here once. We were terrified:
1. bulletproof windows
2. customers yelling at KFC associates for being shortchanged
3. large sign informing what counterfit money looked like
4. the KFC associates’ utter lack of regard for sauce preferences
Otherwise, we had a decent meal.

To be honest while reading the reviews for the KFC location, people are to harsh. I went to this KFC with a couple of my friends and it was actually great. The customer service was great for a fast food store, he started with hi my name is (I forgot his name) how may I help you? with a smile. I told him what I wanted which was three orders I SWEAR LESS THEN 5 mins he’s like here your order it ready, extremely fast & friendly. The only reason I give it 4 stars because there’s not in enough seats, other then that overall it was good, definitely coming back.

Worst service ever. Fire everyone and get an entirely new staff. So rude every time I go in. Don’t touch the tables I saw a man cleaning his butt with the napkins at one of them.

After I left Sweet Revenge, I was heading over to the Bedford-​Nostrand G stop. Two Hefenweisens in an empty stomach didn’t make me drunk, but did impair my judgment to the point that KFC seemed like The Place to Be. Walked in there to see two guys from the ‘hood; one leaning back with his meal in a booth, and the other on the phone, getting a horrendously huge order for his whole family.
One staff member stood behind the bulletproof (one hopes/​assumes) glass shield separating the cash register and kitchen from Everything Else (namely, the threat of a hold-​up or other type of assault). The other red-​shirted staff member was out and about with a mop, completely unprotected. Watching him busily sweep the steaming mop over the small area, I had a flashback to the only other time I’d been in this exact chain. It was prior to the NFL Playoffs. Lost on the way to a purported party nearby, I walked in here to quench my parched throat with a big gulp of orange soda. In the process, I heard the two ladies on shift talking loudly about murders with jealousy as the motive.
You know, as much as I love the Colonel (my birthday twin), he should have thought of more sandwiches. Even the most flagrant carnivore cringes a little at the thought of a «Double Down,» and so did I. Thus, I was forced to resort to the «Doublicious,» and was pondering what is double about the Doublicious. It didn’t have two fried chicken breasts, so I could only conclude that the double referred to the fact that the sandwich had (1) fried chicken and (2) bacon. As in double trouble, ya see.
Gave my order and the last of what cash I was willing to give through the clear turnstile. After my order was given to me in a paper sack, I called out, «Ooh, may I please have a ranch sauce, too?»
«Just one?» She asked.
«blyeah,» I confirmed, bleakly.
«Eleven cents,» She said. What an arbitrary financial deterrent to stuff that it probably takes negative eleven cents to produce.
«What?! No thanks,» I said, and started shuffling out of there, when the guy who’d been sitting down stood up. He was a very big dude.
«How much? Eleven cents?!» he said, «I’ll buy you a ranch sauce. God DAMN, charging for that shit — we in the HOOD here,» he said.
«Uh HUUUUH.» Family man concurred, rolling his eyes. His children would NOT be having extra sauce tonight.
Meanwhile, I was scratching around in my purse for coins, trying to prove that I was not destitute, but that forgoing the sauce had been a matter of principle. «I have a penny…» I said, pathetically.
Guy threw down a shiny dime, and I had my sauce.
«Have a good night, mami,» he said.
I skipped down to the train feeling better than if James Bond had bought me a martini. It’s this random act of kindness from a Bed-​Stuy local (and maybe the fastidiousness of the moppers) that make this place worth mentioning. It certainly wasn’t the sandwich with its limp bread and oiled down meat. The sauce sucked, too, tasting more like relish and pondwater than ranch. But let’s not be ungrateful.

I like this KFC. It’s right across from the train station so if you just missed the train you can run over here to get a bite since you know the next G might not come for hours, days even. (I kid, I kid, but seriously, the G train sucks. Every one in Bedstuy knows there are only 2 trains on the entire G line at a time. I digress)
This place is really fast with your order. There are seats inside and they always seem pretty clean. The only problem with the inside is that it’s pretty small and it can get a little awkward when there’s a long line and then you’ve gotta stand near a table with your tush in somebody’s meal.
They take cards but you need to give them your ID too. That didn’t bother me the first few times but after like the 10^th time, it gets annoying. I thought me and the cashier were building a bond. I thought I was a KFC regular. I wonder how many late night trips it’s going to take to this place before they stop thinking that I’m stealing somebody else’s card.

Alright, so I just wanted the first review recognition on this one. Typical KFC. The poster on the wall said KFC fried chicken was praised by Zagat survey. Now that’s unbelievable! :)
