  • "Although we all know what to expect from what's termed as fast food joints. I have to admit this was pretty good and the food stood out as one if the best, crispy."

  • "Best please to have your chicken :) from all KFC I visited this is my favourite spot... there chicken always crispy, not soggy (with oil)."
  • "Visited KFC earlier today, asked for a mini chicken fillet, without pepper mayo, but with plain mayo... So, quality of food was great."
  • "Personally I think KFC is the second best fast food retailer In the UK. Always delicious chicken!"

Cons:

  • "Inthe last year or so kfc has gone down hill. The prices increase overtime which is expected but the quality of chicken has decreased at the same time. Cheap chicken full of gristle."

  • "The chicken was tasteless and bland, the corn tasted old and wasn't wrapped properly which is just poor for a brand of KFC's size."
  • "Food was old and very dark where it been in heaters for ages or overcooked the popcorn was rock hard and wasn’t great to be honest."
  • "Chicken in the wrap was flat and dry, tons of barbecue sauce next to no slaw."

Value

  • "Don't go here unless you want items missing from your order and enjoy ignorant staff serving you at the drive through."
  • "This is one of the worst KFC I have ever been. The customer service is rubbish, while they advertise and sell 2 chicken strips with Might Bucket, they only gave me one."
  • "I would never eat from this stupid place again they are all so rude and so is the manager."
