KFC

Seriously pretty annoyed right now. I understand this is fast food but all you have to do is literally put the right things in a box for the right order. They couldn’t even do that. A simple job.

There are two KFCs in town. This one is the «good» one. (The bad one is on Glebe. YUCK) I try to eat healthy but occasionally I get a craving for fried chicken, and this KFC is fast, delicious and cheap!!!
I’ve only been to the drive thru here, but every time the order is ready pretty much before I can get my wallet out. They are also friendly!

Let’s get it straight folks. This here is a KFC and we’re not looking for some sort of gourmet fried chicken experience. All I want is a hot, fast lunch that is consistent with other KFC locations. Heck, I don’t even come here unless I have a coupon. So, onward we go.
This KFC has been renovated since I last visited, and the interior looks modern and clean. To order, you just approach the register with your coupon in hand (don’t have a coupon? …well, I don’t understand why you would come here without one so go back home and wait for a coupon in the mail!) and give it to the employee. Exchange pleasantries. Talk about how freakin’ cold it is today on this 8^th day of January. Wait for food.
I ordered a 5-​pc «extra crispy» chicken meal with four sides and two biscuits. The verdict? Well, I’m not sure that the Colonel would think this «extra crispy» chicken was any different from his original recipe, and I failed to taste the «11 spices and herbs» but was it hot? Moderately because they took out the chicken before our order was completed. Was it tasty? Salted to the point I lost consciousness after our visit. Was it cheap? Hell yea.
As for the sides, well, the mashed potatoes taste how my immigrant grandmother made them — from the box with canned gravy. The other three sides I ordered were potato wedges because fried potatoes. Just get them. They’re better than any phony mac n cheese or limp, watery vegetables hanging out in a steam compartment all day. And if you’re lucky, you can get them fried fresh :) Ask for extra ketchup.

The outside intercom is spotty so I had to yell my order. Not cool.
The staff at the drive-​in window gave me a compliment on my smile, so I got over my annoyance. (It doesn’t take much to please me)
KFC is just not what is used to be. I find their chicken to be too salty now and not what I grew up loving.

I come here every once in a while for food specials or to try out their NEW items such as their KFC Famous Bowls, or Kentucky Grilled Chicken.
It’s your run of the mill KFC, and nothing really to complain or rave about. Didn’t think their Famous Bowls were all that, but their Grilled Chicken was surprisingly good and juicy. Perhaps more salty than spicy but good.
