Kentucky Fried Chicken

This KFC has made me sick for the last time! If you want to dine with the homeless and feel queazy after this is the place for YOU.))
Lol…found this un posted review from last year.
Thanks God it went out of business. It’s now a clean and very tasty Zankou chicken.

Thank god they finally closed this dump!
I *love* KFC, but this location was the absolute worst. They didn’t accept credit cards, the restroom was through the back door and into the kitchen, the food was old/​disgusting and the translation barrier to broken English made ordering a serious hassle.

Why did they close this location???

It’s just never easy! Try to get in and out of this place with take out in under 20 minutes. They either don’t have what you want ready or they are preparing a take out for like a 100 person party. Why can’t they just staff the place appropriately and have enough workers there to help the customers during busy times. Plus there is no drive thru.

Take out is my best bet at this place. Bathroom Located outside restaurant in the back.

Where’s the drive-​thru?
There isn’t one, sweetie — you’ve got to get out of your car and step out onto the mean streets of Hollywood, or more specifically, the mean street of Sunset Boulevard. Who knows who might pounce on you as you come out for your greasy, fattening, down-​low fast food fix?
A persistent panhandler? A power-​walker with a chihuahua? One of your snooty Facebook friends who’ll say, «So THIS is the wine-​tasting event you just couldn’t miss, eh?» right before they join you in line, with a pinky-​swear that KFC will be your greasy little secret?
Welcome to Hollywood.
Speaking of fast food, this fast food joint is slow — like sit-​down-​restaurant slow, but if you come at lunch time there’s not a whole lot of places to sit down. You just order, and then stand there for the ten to fifteen minutes it takes to get your order made.
Use the time to contemplate the mistakes you’ve made in your life, like coming here when you’re cheating on Popeye, the Church, Pioneer, or your doctor’s specific warnings…
The food’s not terribly fresh, and there’s this mildewy wall that separates the more presentable front of the restaurant from the kitchen, which, though invisible to you and me (but not to the health department, thankfully) must be an epic disaster judging from the fallen boxes and strewn-​about bags that drift into view.
What do you want or expect? It’s Kentucky Fried Chicken. Greasy chicken, greasy potatoes, greasy cole slaw, greasy biscuits.
If you’re in the mood for grease or had a fight with your arteries («you’re not the boss of me!») and want to teach them a lesson, KFC is your friend.
There’s a cold-​case of desserts near the cash registers that isn’t very inviting, holding only a few sad looking apple pies and liquor-​store-​style cakes.
If you’re in the mood to laugh your way to coronary bypass surgery, buy some of their «Kentucky Grilled Chicken» — KFC’s mediocre homage to El Pollo Loco. The grill-​lines are totally fake, but since there’s not a grill to be seen, smelled, or heard anywhere, you already knew that. Kentucky microwaved chicken?
Almor Liquor is right next door, so if you want to class up your meal and spike your soda with something hard (or want to get the latest issue of Time Magazine or Hustler), it’s a quick fix.
Oh, Almor has wine — so I guess you’re going wine-​tasting after all.
Bring your greasy, fake grilled chicken, too. It’s a picnic! Why not let’s make a day out of it – right on Sunset Boulevard, and invite that guy over there who sells starmaps…

Thanks to the dynamic calorie careless duo — Oprah Winfrey and Colonel Sanders, everyone and their chicken-​lovin’ mamas are printing out the KFC coupon for a free 2-​piece grilled meal. Not a bad marketing ploy (albeit costly — the unthinkkfc campaign must be costing the Yum Brands Inc. enterprise billions of biscuits to support).
So of course, during my lunch-​hour on Sunset, I stopped off to redeem my coupon. Here’s my review.
First of all, I wasn’t fooled by the fake grill marks. I didn’t see any new cooking equipment and the lines are too perfect for a real grill. Warning sign number one. I skipped right past the dated looking potatoes and cole slaw and tried the wing. meh, not enough meat to really get the full grilled experience. The thigh however, gave it away. The new grilled chicken tastes like something you’d by at Stater Bros. or Ralphs in the hot deli section. It wasn’t particularly fresh and almost greasier than the fried stuff. The meat is still fatty, which it can get away with when its wearing a crispy fried shell, but with grilled skin, the fat is too dominant and a rubbery turn-​off. Grilled chicken shouldn’t be so globulous.
There also isn’t a distinct flavor to it, hence the grocery store comparison. If I took a blind taste test, I’d pick El Pollo Loco or the bag rotisserie chicken at Ralph’s every time. Very disappointing. Even with the 3 extra coupons I greedily printed out, I doubt I will go back before the promotion is up to get more free chicken. And I’m a chickenholic so that’s a lot being said there.
If you think you’re cutting calories by going grilled, unthink it. The grilled thigh has 140 calories grilled, vs. 98 when its fried. The wing, has 80 calories grilled, compared to 42 calories fried!!! This is no health-​conscious shift for the cluck conglomerate.
The Colonel should stick to what he does best — put that sh*t in a deep fryer and fry it on up :o (
The coupons, which get you two pieces of grilled chicken, two sides and a biscuit, can be downloaded at

. They are redeemable through May 19, except on Mother’s Day — the restaurant’s busiest day of the year.
