KFC

This KFC is OK.
It certainly isn’t the best KFC. For starters, one can be turned off when they go inside and realize that there are bulletproof windows for the workers’ protection. nevertheless, The food is ok. Sometimes its a hit or miss with certain items but most of the time it is good. If you can find a better KFC in the city– go there instead. But if this is the only one closest to you and you want KFC chicken then ok, go there.

Some of these reviews are hard to believe it is fast food and if you want fried chicken then do it yourself but the story about the kids never eating kfc lol ok its a bit exaggerated…

HORRIBLE. First of all the prices are through the ROOF. The restaurant DOES NOT follow the franchise AT ALL. Even though still uses the name KFC.

A nice job by Kelvin here, actually, he knew I was waiting on chicken and gave me a free drink while I waited.
While not the cleanest KFC, the parking lot and drive through were efficient, and the back looked clean (much more than the tables up front). Moved pretty fast.

The first time we went through the drive thru. It was a quiet night, we were just closing on our house and needed some fast food, well, fast.
The solitude was a little disconcerting.
The bullet proof drive thru didn’t help to ease my concerns.
We have walked to this location at night, figured the exercise would help counter the gorging of calories and it’s probably even scarier. I would have jogged but you never show fear (you know the code). The area is only about /​under two miles from downtown Jersey City but it’s eons away from the revitalization that has happened there. Maybe a few years down the road.
But the location is clean, the staff is very friendly and they deliver on solid KFC.

I’m pretty tough. I’ve gotten into like 20+ scraps while growing up in rough neighborhoods. Won like half of em.
I felt like such a wuss while waiting in line for the $ 10/​11-​piece bucket on Monday night… head down… looking at no one else on line.
Let me put it to you this way… its like a prison cafeteria… everyone looks like Rick Ross, Suge Knight and 50 Cent in here. There was enough gold (teeth/​chains) around me to make Coronado drool.
I love that the drive-​thru has bulletproof glass windows… so ghetto…
But the fuckin chicken… yea…no one makes it tastier than the hoodrats workin for Colonel Sanders…
NO ONE.

First of all, being the foodie that I am, I am embarrassed that I am here doing a review for KFC.
But the boyfriend said his kids had never experienced KFC and it was time to take them there for the experience. So we zigzagged into the heart of Jersey City — quite a rough looking neighborhood — and finally landed at the home of fried chicken.
Nevertheless, we ordered a 12 piece dinner with 3 sides (corn on the cob, mashed potatoes and gravy, and coleslaw). This ran about $ 28 with tax. It took a while for the order to come up (not that their parking lot was full or anything. I could swear their front door sign said they took AMEX, alas I wound up having to use my debit. That always pisses me off.
I used to love the extra crispy recipe as a kid — they don’t make it anymore. Now you can select from «original» and «grilled». We opted for the «classic». I was bummed that my child favorite was no longer available. (Just goes to show you how long it’s been since I’ve been to a KFC). No matter, our food delivered we zipped home to indoctrinate the youngsters in the American Institution of KFC.
We get home and pull off the paper top from the bucket. My partner says, «What’s this?» as he pulls out a piece of the soggiest looking chicken I’ve ever seen in my life. The skin looked like it had been sitting in something moist. Ick, ick, ick. Meat fell off of the bones. You’d think this was a good thing, but not in this instance
I pull out the other items. Bisquets? Check. Coleslaw? Check. Corn on the cob? Check. Mashed potatoes and gravy? Not to be seen. Instead we somehow wound up with mac and cheese. I know both start with the letter «M» but I don’t see how that one got screwed up.
The next horror was the corn on the cob. It was disgustingly overcooked that it was literally mush on a stick. Barely edible. Thank god the kids didn’t notice.
In the bag was a single napkin and three forks. Hmm… someone’s got a bit of a counting error. I looked for my receipt and it was no where to be found. The cashier didn’t hand one to us when I’d signed so I’d assumed that my receipt was «in the bag».
This KFC pales in comparison to any KFC I’ve ever been to. The chicken and corn were repulsive. Bisquits, overly salty. The best part of the meal as the cole slaw, which isn’t saying much.
If you’re jonesing for friend chicken, stay away from this place. It’s just horrid. I wish I’d taken the kids to the Chili’s in Jersey City instead. My $ 28 would have been much better spent there.

A bullet proof vest might not be a bad idea — it will blend well with the bullet proof glass that they have in the take-​out window. As often as I’ve seen bullet proof glass counters inside many KFC stores, this is the first time I’ve seen it in the drive through.
That being said, they are generally pretty polite, and the food is decent… sometimes super yummy, and other times just tolerable.
The area is pretty well lit at night, but I wouldn’t come here on foot by myself.

ok, you already know that KFC rocks to begin with, but when going to this particular location… bring a peice with you and bullet proof vest.
Need I say more?
