I have no troubles with my orders or food when I come here. My beef is that they’re a bit on the slow side. There’s only one person working the counter(poor gal working her butt off with taking the orders, processing the orders — cash, debit, or credit card, and then packing the orders and giving it to the customers). Meanwhile there’s about three or so persons working at the rear cooking or doing whatever. There were times when at least two to three people were waiting for their orders, while the one girl who was working the counter, was looking after one customer in terms of taking his/her order. And at the same time two to three more customers come in and form a mini line. Note that this is a small place. It gets crowded. They should have another person working the counter at the same time.

Yes, they recently got crispy back !! Been going here for the last 4 – 5 years. Service has always been friendly. 1 out of 10 times, they messed up the count in a bucket. But it has not happened again, this was a few years back. Toonie Tues is no longer $ 2, its $ 3.29 !! Yes, the interior is dated. I wish they had indoor seating. Lots of parking, a couple in the front and side, and more in the back. Staff is friendly, which keeps me coming back.!!

This location was one of the best in terms of crispness and well coating chicken. Over the past six years since moving to Markham this was to goto KFC! Something new has changed since approimately June 2015– the chicken is not coated enough with seasoning, is soggy with oil(including fries). If this is a new franchise owner i suggest they go back for training as sales will slowly decline as more and more get dissappointed.

The ONLYKFC I know of in the GTA that actually has the name«Scott’s Chicken Villa» on it, which was the original name of the chain pre-Colonel Sanders days. Thumbs up for that! As some have already mentioned, the place is interesting in that it’s got the vintage look and feel, but I really feel like it could’ve been more. While the exterior looks cute and old-timey, the inside looks like it’s stuck in the late 80’s/early 90’s faded and washed out look. It really didn’t retain the vintage look and feel of the outside(well, some design elements were admittedly there but not much). And the whole property feels like it’s a bit worn down and I can’t help but feel it wasn’t maintained very well through the years. The materials used feels cheaply made, but then again it IS just a fastfood joint. Still, it’s a takeout-only KFC so I guess nobody would care apart from me. The service is generally good and fast(and accurate) and the food is… well…good greasy KFC fried chicken. A good, quick place to grab your KFC if you’re in the area. The cute look gives it bonus points, shame that a) it’s not maintained too well and b) the vintage look kinda goes to waste when you can’t dine in.

Been here a couple of times and while I really like the vintage look and feel, the service and chicken are not up to par. On one visit the woman while taking my order realized she forgot to give the person ahead of me their medium salad. She had it in bag under her hand. Ppl make mistakes but it was her look and chuckle of «oh well» when she told me that really sucks. Shows how little she cared. Second time when I ordered a favorite bucket, all my popcorn chicken were burnt. If you are making this all day how could you not notice the chicken is a different colour and dried out?! To serve it again shows how little they care. Im going to markville from now on for kfc in Thai area. Yes, I’d rather go into a mall than order here again!

I rarely rate fast food restaurants anything beyond a 3-star, but I feel comfortable giving this KFC a 3.5, upgraded to a 4 star for good service. This is the closest KFC to my house, and I do visit here every so often if I just want a quick takeout. I generally prefer stand-alone fast food restaurants than fast food places in shopping malls(sorry Markville). Since the KFC is in a heritage area, it retains its vintage exterior design, which I honestly prefer over the modernized KFC look. It just gives the traditional, down to earth feel every time you drive or walk to the parking lot. KFC is probably the only fast food joint I will regularly visit, so I can tell which one does it best. This one does it very good. The chicken pieces are consistently juicy and crispy(but not too crispy), and the macaroni salad has the right amount of pasta and dressing. Also, the gravy is darker and thicker; another sign of good taste because gravy should never be light yellow or watery. The service here has really improved in the past few years. When I came here at first the cashier was rather cool and didn’t talk much(or gave a rather undermining tone), but when I came here tonight she was very jubilant and talkative. The kitchen staff is also very efficient in preparing the orders, and will tell you if you need to wait for any part of your meal. As health experts say, have fast food in moderation. When you’re up for fried chicken and want KFC though and are in Markham, I highly recommend this joint. Take-out only. Cash and debit accepted.
