I had a very disappointing experience with the food quality. I ordered a combo meal, and the fried chicken was partially soggy and extremely oily. It definitely did not meet the usual KFC standards, and I regretted placing the order.

On the positive side, the service was good, and the restaurant was clean and well maintained. Unfortunately, the poor food quality overshadowed the otherwise pleasant experience.

My Elderly Father visited the store and was unable to use the self service machine & was refused help at the counter where otwo staff were chatting amongst themselves and were reluctant of general work.. in there workplace? completely rude to him and refused other service only self service .. obviously untrained in customer service police.. Very rude & upsetting/scary to hear as a daughter , is this what the older generation is up against. He also had to then wait 40 minutes for his food in what seemed like an act of “proving a point”. Would not recommend this place & was once a regular customer.. staff here (those two females) need customer service policy training and also maybe a recap of manners… tried to bring this to head office and was told i needed proof of receipts which my dad didn’t have . that was their main concern !!

Response from the owner

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we will ensure that our team receives proper training in customer service to avoid such situations in the future. Your feedback is essential in helping us improve.
