KFC

Haven’t come here in years… came here today and was so impressed!
Smiling staff — fast & efficient, food tasted great and was hot! Maybe changed management?
Will come back… unfortunately :P

Service was great and fast — the order was complete and accurate — there is plenty of spacious seating on the second floor. Not so much on the ground level– I say if you come in here you have to order and walk upstairs witch is not a bad thing because you get a great view of Geary Blvd. Very clean upstairs and food is always greasy and good
I would recommend to stock up the upstairs station with napkins and other essentials and to clean the lower level a little more so it looks more appealing and professional —
But over all not a bad place to grab a quick lunch.
You always have to remember this is not a 5 star dining local it’s a fast food chain–
Enjoy !

Unless I’m broke and starving I avoid these types of restaurants but this location in particular has some kick a$$ service. Hard working, respectful, individuals. So if you are struck with little cash in SF. Hit up this location, they won’t v treat you bad if you are broke.

They are friendly but very absent minded and will forget multiple aspects of your order. Outside looks good, they will take your order professionally. But when it comes to actually filling your order they just forget and not just small things but multiple large platters. CHECK YOUR ORDER before you leave!!!

Worst KFC ever!!! Chicken wings were cold and soggy. Burritoes were cold and hard! Service was extremely bad. Will never come back to this shitty place!

YES! I’m FUCKING GOING THERE. Sure, try to tell me that this completely throws my credibility out the window, but KFC’s my jam. Who doesn’t deep down like themselves some oh-​ree-​hen-​ELL recipe chicken, with their bomb cole slaw, and those biscuits that still blow away the biscuits at some of those hoity toity soul food for rich folks places that are so hip these days? Yeah, they totally do brown gravy made from one of those powder packets at the grocery store, but, that’s one of the reasons why I don’t give them a full 5 stars (other reason I will allude to later).
Y’all complaining about soggily breaded chicken? Well, you’re doing it all wrong, then. You have to eat the chicken THERE, at the KFC, and bask in the magic of their chicken at its full crispy potential. No fried chicken’s going to be able to maintain its crispiness after sitting in a bucket where all of the steam from the chicken clings to your chicken bucket lid and then falls back onto the chicken (try it with Front Porch chicken… just try… it will come out just as soggy skinned). You eat it fresh, it’s everything you want in a fried chicken: crispy, salty, and (YES, their catchphrase) FINGER LICKIN’ GOOD! Sure, the KFC restaurant itself meets the cleanliness standards of a Central Valley gas station off the I-​5 bathroom floor (the other thing that bring them down a star), but sometimes for the yum, you have to make some sacrifices.
IN SUMMARY:
Place may be filthy
Gravy may suck ass, but still
THEY DO CHICK’N RIGHT!

Service is really fast but the food was less of my expectations. I ordered the famous bowl and was disappointed cause it was flavorless. The place seems kind of dirty and there is an unpleasant smell all over the place.

Sad I would do this after church but god wouldn’t even want me to eat here again. So this place held a special place in my heart while eating here since I went to star of the sea elementary. Sad to say their glory days are long gone. Very very unkept dining area which turns into the hobo hang out every so often. Food fluctuates from crap to consumable. And no joke… a hair I found in a chicken was not that of a chicken but of a human however does not come from the head if you catch my drift. Fn gross. Staff for the most part is kool but someone tell the guy in the front with glasses to crack a smile. Losing at a game of Magic the Gathering can be stressful but you still have to greet people and have some personality =\

KFC has parking in the back so it’s a good thing. seating available too, i think. didn’t look. 2^nd floor?
eatss wing 5/2.5
–very small, too much batter
–moist meat, otherwise tasteless
–wings better than wingstop, even without the sauce
takeouts:
–service very good, got wings within minutes.

I am a longtime fan of TacoBell and have to have my fix every so often… I know every Taco Bell in every town I’ve ever lived. It is fast food so I do not have any over the top expectations but this particular store is prompting me to write a review. I have been there twice; that’s it for me. Dirty, unkempt, slow, and although the young manager was over the top fantastic and very professional, he is this KFC’s only asset! I have found their new Cinnabon dessert item to be delicious at other locations but even ordering it on both visits, it was terrible — tasted like it had been sitting under the heatlamp for hours and hours. Ugh! Is anybody out there reading Unilocal?!Owner, wake up!

OK… I had this Fried Chicken Fix today and KFC/​Taco Bell was right there. I’ve been so good for so long not eating any fast food except on rare occasions of convenience. That being said… ordered a 3-​piece Original Recipe chicken meal with a Root Beer ;). It actually hit the spot, but they forgot my coleslaw. So I had to return back to that counter for that. The downstairs area seemed too crammed as the lunch time crowd just filled up and made it difficult to maneuver through. I also must say that this location can use a good spic-​and-​span in the eating areas. The dining area upstairs (which is fairly large) was not well kept and very dirty! Not sure if they are under-​staffed or under-​managed, but that’s pretty unacceptable. For me, a fast food joint like a KFC/​Taco Bell would get about 3 stars, but I have to ding this one today.

Don’t get the hot wings. Absolutely terrible. But the taco bell side is much more satisfying. Soft tacos are the best.

Can’t beat KFC deals. 2 pieces of chicken, mash potato with gravy, corn and biscuit for $ 2.49.

This review is not about the food. I mean, it’s Taco Bell/​KFC. They’re all pretty much exactly the same, foodwise – the ingredients are all trucked in from the same faraway place.
But not all Taco Bell/​KFCs are equal. No, no, no. This one has the distinction of being the most consistently filthy of all the TB/​KFCs in the city. And that’s saying something, given that the others are not all that great.
The floor is DISGUSTING. Always. Upstairs and downstairs. The walls are flecked with food bits. The tables are always dirty. Every single one of them. I have never, ever seen anyone go upstairs and clean up the dining room. Ever. I am surprised I haven’t seen rats and cockroaches crawling around. (yet)
I have tried eating in this place several times, but even when I concentrate on not looking around, unfocusing my eyes so I can only see my food, I still have to force myself to eat when I am there. I am not particularly squeamish, but this place is just gross. I cannot stand to go to this TB/​KFC anymore. Not even for takeout. Somebody needs to figure this crap out. Seriously.

I’ve been coming to this location A LOT only because it’s right by my dorm and it’s open till 10 and sometimes I just need to eat something at 9, when everything else is closed…
As I’m waiting to order, I’m looking at the menu minding my own business. But me, being Mexican and all, overhears the kitchen people talking in Spanish. And I see this Hispanic lady leave the kitchen and go into the public bathroom which is by the soda machines. And she opens the door and it turns out that someone was inside (it’s a one person bathroom), so she closes the door and says «pendeja!» To those of you who are non-​Spanish speakers, that means «dumbass!» The person inside the bathroom was a customer.
Now, the person inside was at fault for not locking the door; however, that can happen to ANYONE. Sometimes people forget and it SUCKS when that happens. But, there was this white guy in line behind me, and with a white accent he asks the Hispanic lady «Hay un problema?» [EYE OON PRO-​BLEH-​MAH?] (Is there a problem?) That’s right. The white guy understood the word «pendeja.» And it turns out that the lady inside the bathroom is his waifu-​chan (wife). She responds to the white guy saying «Oh no, she jus’ forgot tu lock da door» and ran upstairs (the dining area is upstairs and I’m assuming she used the other bathroom up there). The lady comes out of the bathroom and it turns out she’s Asian. Why does this matter? Oh you’ll find out: P
So I order my food. And the guy that attended me (don’t know his name) is REALLY NICE and he has great service skills. But when I’m done ordering, the Hispanic lady comes back down and she talks with her other Hispanic coworkers and says «se estaba cagando la china!» (The Chinese/​Asian lady was taking a shit.) And like… I’m at the soda machine now and she’s trying to get some soda too from inside the counter type of thing… and now, she probably thought I was white because she was just talking with her friends rudely about the Asian lady as if it doesn’t matter that she’ll be heard. And so, I tell her in Spanish twice «Ten cuidado, te van entender» (be careful because they’re gonna understand you). And she kinda seemed shocked because she didn’t reply and she walked further away to a corner but kept talking.
Now, if you want to have this as your private conversation that’s totally fine. But don’t talk out loud like that. You never know when there’s other people who are going to understand you. Or if there’ll be another beaner there that understands the whole situation and ends up posting it on your Unilocal.Seriously. But aside to watching out for Mexicans, there’s LOTS of people that actually understand Spanish. Especially here in California. Kids these days learn it in high school. And in the workplace, you still have to maintain some amount of professionalism… even if you work at a Taco Bell/​KFC place… You definitely do not openly insult customers like that and you definitely don’t openly laugh about it with your friends. That is very rude and highly disrespectful.
I probably won’t be returning to this location anymore since I’m graduating, so I can live on without fear that they’ll possibly spit in my food when they read this. Haha.
I’m giving this place 1-​star because I thought that was very disrespectful and people need to be made aware that this type of behavior DOES happen inside this location.

Yes it’s fast food but this location is not fast. The past four times I have been to this place they were out of original recipe and it will be a 20 minute wait while the stoner in the back decides to fry more chicken. Seriously how do you consistently run out of the most poplar product on the menu? How hard is it to keep a fryer going! The staff here has no idea what they are doing!
If you are really wanting fried chicken go to the other location on Steiner or try Popeye’s on Divis or in the Fillmore. You want to waste time go here. And yes I welcome the owner/​managers comments.

The bulk of my 2 star rating comes from the fact they get my order wrong EVERY TIME the manager is not on duty. There is always something missing, or something incorrect with the order without fail. When Jun or one of the other managers is on duty, my order is always correct.
I understand this is fast food, but that should also make the quality of the food pretty uniform. But I have had quality that varies greatly, sometimes the rice is hard & undercooked for example. Or the potato wedges are soggy and cold. Or the chips are broken into tiny pieces you can’t really dip in the cheese sauce…
And while I love their new limeade drink (it’s just Sierra Mist & a pump of lime syrup, but it’s so tasty) but every time I have asked for it, the cashier doesn’t know how to ring it, and they give me some drink, chips & salsa special which is not what I want. They need to call a manager to void it and help them find the right button. It’s a bit annoying trying to decide if it’s worth the hassle of ordering the drink I like or not.
Most of the staff are very nice and courteous so that’s a plus. And the restaurant is usually clean and smells good. They have a small downstairs dining area (about 5 chairs only) but upstairs is very large and has a variety of booths, tables and bar-​type seating. With a nice view of the corner of Geary & 6^th. It’s fun to people watch and see everyone getting on & off the bus below you.

This location is convenient because the bus stop for the 38 and 38L is right outside.
I noticed the hours of operation on the door here and at a few other joint KFC/​Taco Bell locations. These locations open until 10 pm or 11 pm which is a good thing for consumers. If you are craving for something to eat at 8 pm or 9 pm, this is the spot to turn to. I simply praise this and a few other restaurants partly because there aren’t a lot of eateries open past 10 pm.
Reasons for rating:
— friendly staff team (+1)
— upstairs seating available (+2)
— small parking lot in the rear (+2)
8÷6÷2015:
Friendly staff members and the service is prompt. This is definitely a nice spot to visit when in need of something to munch on. Hungry while waiting for the 44? This KFC/​Taco Bell joint location is here for you.
*This location now has Wi-​Fi — props to this amenity!

2 piece Tuesday’s anyone?!
Don’t eat in the restaurant. Always get it to go. It’s duuuurty! Gotta love some fried chicken though!

Been here about 3 – 4 times.
Chicken was always not hot, Mashed potatoes sucks, just like every other KFC, biscuits sucks, just look at their shapes.
Only good thing about this KFC, it’s 2 floors!!! Great to take kids to sight see, lol.
