KFC

This review pertains to KFC. The service was efficient and the cashier was cordial despite our making several revisions to our order. The 3 of us were drawn to try the Nashville Hot Chicken. The chicken was so greasy it seemed each piece was doused with a ladle of the orange-​colored fluid.
If this is standard for the chain the challenge to Popeye’s will flop. Something consistent with KFC has been the quality of the sides. Mashed potatoes and gravy was flavorful as always. The coleslaw was dominated by the flavor of preservative. It will be another 10 years before we try KFC again.

I love KFC. The grilled chicken option brought me back to my childhood weekend restaurant. But this location will never get my business.
This place always closes early, they will stop cooking and will only serve the old left overs from under the heat lamps 2 hours before closing. My husband ended up bringing me home these hard leftover scrap pieces of dried out chicken not wanting to come home empty handed. If you want grilled chicken you better get there mid day. Anytime near opening they will first tell you to wait a while for it to be cooked– 15 minutes plus… most people say no and move on to the original recipe but whenever I say «okay I’ll wait» they look annoyed and up the time to 20 – 30 minutes. I went in an hour before closing 2 weeks ago and they told me they had already cleaned the grills… I understand the kitchen has to be cleaned but if you close at 9 or 10 you should expect to still be serving food at 9 or 10 otherwise why stay open? The youngsters working here seem to be supervised by someone equally as irresponsible who will turn out the lights inside if a car pulls into the drive thru within 20 minutes of closing. They won’t say «sorry we’re closed» they will literally just shut the light out and hide. I went across the street to Subway after I saw the lights go out and saw a group of teenagers in uniform leave 5 minutes before they were supposed to be closed laughing at the people who unwittingly were sitting in their lit up drive thru although no employees were still inside. It’s hard to expect old school customer service anymore so my standards are pretty low with fast food but this place is not the worth the time especially for over priced over cooked chicken.

This is for the KFC side, I have yet to try the A&W side. If you go here, I don’t recommend going through the drive through. I’ve been through 4 times and every single time they’ve messed up my order. Their something is missing or something is not what I ordered. The everything tastes great but fries are dry and over cooked.

I had not been into a KFC for years but I had a modest craving for old fashioned fried chicken so after work I checked Unilocal and drove to this restaurant. The drive through was busy so I parked in front and walked in for a take-​out order. The young man at the counter was friendly and helpful while I made my order of a three piece original style dark meat. I had traditional mashed potatoes and coleslaw as my sides and a large A&W root beer. At home, the chicken was crispy, moist and flavorful, the potatoes were good and the coleslaw I felt was a touch too sweet and had too much fluid with it. The rootbeer was as expected and good. Overall my long time absence from KFC was too long. I had a good meal from them.

Review is for the A & W portion of their mixed store format ONLY. Based on three previous experiences with Kentucky Fried, now KFC, I will not eat from their menu — everyone else (there were 7 of us, and near Baltimore) who had their stuff was ok, but I definitely was not.
Moving on to A & W, their food is reliable A & W fare, having had one of their burger combinations with their trademark A & W root beer. I’m drinking their fairly good root beer as I’m writing this review. I would say their burgers are slightly less tasty than the hefty burger at Carl’s Jr. and maybe slightly less substantial than a Mickey D’s Big Mac, but they are indeed good.
Mostly, A & W, and their items, harken to small towns in the U.S. and Canada. I think that, in remote towns in eastern British Columbia, Mickey D’s may not be there, but A & W probably might be. So, it’s small town burger fare to me, and that has a charm all its own!
Kudos for the speedy preparation of the food and the very polite service from the employees who take your order and your payment.
