Good restaurant. The manager is nice. I accidentally misplaced my eye glasses and he was kind enough to check the cctv footage. Also thanks to another customer who helped me find my glasses finally.
Missed order notes, I ordered 1 tower burger meal with fries, and unfortunately did not get any fries with it. I entrusted the service as I was in a rush for my tram but next time, note to myself for next time, it’s better to miss the tram to make sure that the order I placed had all the items in the bag. Really disappointed
Just dropped in for a quick order and takeaway. The service was pretty quick, even though They took some time to take my order. The food was pretty good. There was a very nice watermelon refresher that I really enjoyed which is not available in every KFC. The store is also located at a very prime location which made it very accessible.
Venue was absolutely trashed. Staff obviously do not care about cleaning.5 staff standing behind the counter whilst tables are full of rubbish. Had to ask for tables to be cleaned to sit down and eat.
I am a great fan of the KFC Bucket.The only reason I'm not rating this place a 1 star was that it was quite late on a very busy night.. The bargain bucket we ordered didn't look like a KFC dish at all.. A badly made home cooked chicken would have been much better.. See the pic to get the picture.
possibly the worst KFC in the universe. i go in for 10 pieces of chicken then get given 10 hot wings. i say it isnt what i ordered and then had to argue with the worker to get the food i asked for. the worker argues with me that "normal chicken wings" are hot wings and after stating that i dont want hot wings i have to then point to the item on the menu and tell them thats EXACTLY what i want. i then get my box of chicken wings with not a single wing and only those big clumps of chicken with only bones in it that no one likes. it was the most dry meal ive ever had to power through to eat because i live 2 hours away and havent eaten all day. this can only be explained as the workers way of telling me "f you". worst chicken ever. will never return
Usual chain KFC 🍗 just in the city center next to St. Andrew Square to grab a burger 🍔Enough place to seat around on both floors.Service is good, no concerns.Kids menu options are available with fresh pineapple🍍 and small burger with ketchup that I have not seen before. Corn 🌽 was over, however I got fries 🍟 instead.Prices are moderate as well as menu options.Self-service to order is always great to have.
The place is clean not bad but the service and food is horrible. The chips we received are soggy asked to replace them chicken is burnt and so salty. Very bad experience.
Another great KFC in the heart of Edinburgh. Food was quality as usual. Although there was a bit of waiting time, however that can be negotiated by the quality of food. I enjoyed the lunch very much with my family.
Another KFC, another pitiful excuse of a fast food joint. Just off Princes Street and full of tourists, you'd think this outlet would up its game enough not to languish bottom of the KFC league for filthiness. And believe me, this is no mean feat. Almost all available tables strewn with leftovers: food boxes, drinks cartons, chicken of every variety and more food on the floor than that being prepared in the ovens. The rubbish station was overflowing with garbage too and when I asked a staff member to clean at least one table and chair so I could actually sit and eat my meal, he stared at me agog as if I'd challenged him to explain Pythagoras Theorem. When a worker eventually appeared (20 mins later) it looked as if even a rocket inserted in his jacksy wouldn't have had sufficient propulsion to blast him towards the lowest state of inertia; his slowness was truly impressive, the gusto with which he carried out his duties a sight to behold. As I've mentioned on other KFC reviews, do Environmental Health for Food Safety officers ever visit these dumps? I bet good ole Colonel Sanders is spinning in his eight-piece combo-bucket because of what's happened to his finger-lickin', artery-cloggin' delights.
Ordered for delivery. Six piece bucket with four small sad leg pieces and two small thighs. No white meat at all. I'm posting this review because this has happened many times before at this location. Their staff members are either not trained well or simply don't care. Foolish me, I keep giving them more chances! Maybe I've finally learned my lesson? Go elsewhere!
Purchased a 6 piece bucket for myself and my husband takeaway. Was cold and only had chicken legs!!! Usually there is a thigh, wing price and a leg. Very disappointing ! , was very substandard. Staff didn’t understand when I just wanted to purchase chicken in its own, so had to get a bucket paid £15 for rubbish!!! Will not be back
Server was rude, quantity of food is terrible, worse kfc I’ve ever been to. The rice in the images are supposed to be large, look at then next to my key. And it’s still half a cup, and I paid for large rice
