Kentucky Fried Chicken

Sometimes you just crave unhealthy.
I grew up eating KFC and sometimes I like revisiting my childhood. So when i got the urge to grab some greasy chicken, I immediately thought KFC. I’m not going to make that mistake again.
Located in a rather large strip mall, this KFC is in an ironic location. It sits in the parking lot right next to a Fresh and Easy.
This location is by far the worst KFC I have ever seen. Upon entering, you can feel the stench start clinging to your clothes. Its a horrible feeling. It looked as though no one had cleaned it in days. Lighting was terrible and seating was very limited not because it was busy but there are actually only a few chairs and tables.
Service was another downer. There were 2 employees total working this location. One cashier and one cook. It took forever for them to notice I was waiting to place an order. They didn’t have a majority of items and I was forced to select my 4^th and 5^th options.
Food wise, its KFC. The standard is pretty much the same at all locations. This time however, I think with the combination of poor service and grotesque ambiance, I didn’t really relish my heart attack in a box.
CONS: —
— everything
PROS: —
— none
I would strongly recommend eating at another KFC location.

3 pieces of chicken is my limit these days, before the heart-​clogging feeling in my chest washes over me. Alas, fried foods is a luxury I can only take in moderation as I continue to age away. But enough of my ranting…
Typical KFC. Certainly not the best within the vicinity: there’s one on Baldwin that is a Taco Bell fusion, and the other resides in Duarte (
). And as such, it’s not the first choice when I think of this franchise.
With only 4 tables inside and no public restrooms within the small building, this location is made for takeout… but without the drive-​thru window. At least there’s plenty of parking.
Still, you can get 2 delicious apple turnovers for 99¢. Soooo good.

We go there because the Store Manager or franchise owner (not sure), is nice, always pleasant and in good spirits. I’m rating his restaurant a 5, but the chain a 2, so figured a 3 was a good overall score.
One night some lady comes in, her out of control kids were running around and jumping up and the worker comes over to extend his hand to say «please don’t jump, I don’t want you to hurt your head on the counter top» but the lady didn’t see it that way as her precious crotch fruit could do no wrong. The gentleman seeing this lady was going to be trouble handed the food over probably hoping she’d leave, but she defiantly sat down, and cursed the worker while her kids did whatever the hell they wanted.
We kept quiet, I should have said something, but I didn’t want to make the situation worse for the poor guy being treated so badly. No one deserves to be treated that way.
Anyway, decent place, safe area, grilled is probably the best, if you’re not into the grease.

I visited this place twice since I moved to Arcadia. It’s near the FreshnEasy we frequent so it’s a natural choice when we want fried chicken. I was insulted both times I visited. The cashier was rude, didn’t ask me what sides I want and gave me cole slaw both times then blame me for not telling him. They spoke Spanish to each other and gave me the stink eye when I asked to change the order. They were also rude to other customers while I was there.
What’s worse, I went on the KFC corporate site and made an official complaint but never heard anything. Not even an email acknowledging they received my complaint.
I don’t go to this KFC anymore. I’d suggest anyone near it not to visit. KFC sucks!

Every once in a while – not very often – I get a serious craving for some nasty, greasy, artery-​clogging fast food of death, i.e. KFC. Yeah, I like to devour an entire bucket of chicken, put the bucket on my head… and listen to Buckethead. Hey, it’s what I do when I run out of anti-​depressants. Don’t judge me.
I have to say this KFC is perhaps the worst damned KFC I’ve ever patronized – and I’ve been to a lot of KFC’s. I’ve been to this particular establishment twice and both times they were OUT of extra crispy. WAHHHH? I don’t care for the original recipe – who does? Extra crispy is the sh*t. Everybody knows that.
Now, I don’t want to sound like a dittohead, Glenn Beck-​ish, hater, racist SOB – you know, like Col. Sanders was – but the guys who work at this KFC apparently do not speak a word of English. I couldn’t communicate with them, no matter what I tried. I was even unable to get through to them with my middle school Spanish – Señor Gomez would be so ashamed – but it may be that they were just f**king with me. Yeah, they were f**king with me. Out of extra crispy! Right! I didn’t even know what the hell they were selling me. It could have been a bucket full of rooster nards for all I knew.
The place is also pretty grungy. The counters are all cracked and nasty looking. Just a few sad-​looking sides in the little cold case. Ick. Really, there’s a Popeye’s down the road and that’s where I’ll get my high cholesterol, saturated fat fix from now on.
K F-F’ing C. «F» you.

Was craving generic fried chicken afternoon at work, so I printed out some coupons from
and came here hoping for some extra-​crispy goodness.
Lo and behold, the cashier curtly told me they don’t take the internet coupons WHILE snatching it from me, preventing me from even going to another place that does. ‘Cause you know, if I was going to cause nationwide financial ruin — it’ll be with fast-​food coupons that gives me $ 1 discounts.
That made me sad :(– alas, I didn’t get fried chicken that day.
