I stopped by to try the new Mac and cheese bowl. It was fair. I opted for the spicy version . Only issue with this bowl is the amount of grease in the bottom of the bowl. It was not good at all. The grease ruined the taste for me. I couldn't eat the Mac and cheese because of all the grease mixed in with it. I give this meal 2 thumbs up.

This KFC has been around for a very long time, and I have used it for many years. The current management has been the best. The friendliness of the staff and their work ethic is amazing.

The chicken tasted fresh and was hot. The Mac n cheese was delicious. The gravy and cream potatoes was good. We used the drive thru. There was a little delay in placing our order but after we drove up to the window, then, we realized that KFC Trainee was learning, so, training is very important and we understood the slight delay. Keep training folks. Training time is so important to staff. You can do it!! Thank you KFC!!

We had the best experience here with Graci-Ann she was so welcoming, and polite. She gave us time to order, listened and repeated our order, greeted us at the window, thanked us, and gave us the freshest food we have ever received at any KFC!! She Said her Mama taught her to be kind, and I hope she knows her Mama is very proud #Amazing

I like coming here cause the times I grab food theres little to no wait. Beverly is the best. Whenever she's there I get my order immediately and it's always correct. If she's not there I'm probably missing something in my order. Give Beverly a raise.

I was so impressed by the Sunday evening crew. They dropped fresh livers, fresh chicken. Walked it to my car, and got themselves a 20.00 tip. The order was hot and correct! The sweetest people worked that shift. August 15th around 5pm.

A young man at the front counter was very nice and took my order right away. Four piece original recipe with the side of green beans and an extra side of french fries. The order was put together before I had my drink poured. The french fries were a little bit rubbery and the gal who puts orders together switched it out for a mac & cheese without batting an eye & she seemed disappointed the fries were not ideal. The place is very clean & the music was perfect. I don’t eat like I use to but the chicken was so perfectly cooked, I ate every bit. Nice job KFC crew & thank you!
