The menu here is a celebration of chicken in all its crispy, juicy glory. Whether you’re sharing the Taste Of KFC 14 Pc. Deal—a generous bucket balancing tender drums and thighs—or craving the perfect personal meal like the Zinger Sandwich combo, known for its bold, spicy marinated chicken fillet served on a pillowy brioche bun, there’s something to satisfy every craving. Fans of variety will appreciate the Chicken & Tenders Feast, boasting six pieces of crispy Original Recipe® chicken alongside six golden hand-breaded tenders accompanied by signature dips. For those hungry for a classic comfort combo, the 4 Pc.

By far the best KFC. Food is always freshly made and delicious. Service is always outstanding. I eat ate other KFCs and for some reason the chicken tastes better here.

This review is for Danny. He has the best customer service. He greeted me with a smile and took my order with care. He was courteous and kind. He even offered to help carry my large order to my car. Hand off this guy is the future for outstanding leadership.

Excellent quality and service, the downside dining in the store during a hot day. The air conditioning is either broken or turned off. I feel bad for the employees having to work in such poor conditions. I’m surprised they don’t have a heat stroke. Can’t the owners or area managers get the ac on for both the diners and their employees? It’s sad really. I’ll go back in the winter.

They had no hot sauce and instead of giving me the cookie that comes with the fill up box I got a biscuit.

The customer service is awesome. Even when they get difficult customers they always keep a smile on their face. I come here once a month for my 2 youngest children. I would recommend it!
