923 Trans-Canada Hwy Highway, 17 East, Kenora, ON P9N 1L9, Canada
KFC Kenora, ON has the taste you crave for a price you'll love. Treat yourself to the Colonel's famous fried chicken in a meal or in Zinger sandwiches! KFC covers all of your chicken cravings.
Probably the worst KFC I’ve ever eaten. The chicken had a burnt musty taste to it, 6 piece that I bought was chucked out. The take out bags were just squat together, not folded over and that goes the same for the bag that had the fries in it. Eaten there 2x and both times not a good experience.
Definitely not the newest KFC, walls and floors looked old and beat up, chicken was definitely not fresh nor were the fries as they were soggy. We did not eat in so wasn’t worth taking back.
Absolutely terrible, no air conditioning first of all. Hotter inside than it is outside. The lady running the register doesn’t know how to let people know there’s no onion rings till after then already paid, with multiple customers right after each other. Fries were when given to me cold not warm or hot. Then after waiting 15 minutes they tell me it’s another 20 minutes for my sandwichs then try to convince me to pick something else. Fix this place or just close it down honestly. You guys need help
Steer clear of this place. I tried to pay with my capital one and was declined, then my my discover card declined. Finally my debit card and was approved. I should have taken my denied credit cards as a sign and just left but I did not.I Get down the road to find a spot to eat and I have to say is absolutely disgusting. This chicken was beyond greasy, the fries were nothing but salt. 0 stars people. Do not stop at this place its that bad, and this is coming from a fat guy. I don't hardly leave reviews but damn.
Burned, very greasy chicken. Staff not willing to replace burned food. Saying if you want to complain to leave. Then when leaving the cashier locks the door behind you saying goodbye Karen. And the staff that none of them were white say "you people always complain". The staff is black and Pakistani. And the cashier lady always has her phone in hand texting.
KFC should be ashamed serving chicken pieces not much bigger than a person would get from a pigeon. However very fresh and tasty. But not likley to go there again for a long long time. The amou t of fries was shameful as well
Pretty disappointed when I got home to enjoy my 12 piece bucket deal. My order consisted of 7 drumsticks, 4 thighs and 1 breast. Fries were cold and gravy was watery. I called to complain and took my name and number and told the manager would call me. Just lip service. They don’t really care if customers return.
As we travel a lot over Western Canada KFC is our go to when putting on the miles. Check my other KFC reviews. Sadly this KFC is in our home town and shatters the illusion all KFC's are the same. After a 35 minute wait in the drive thru we got our food and went to eat. Most of it was virtually inedible. As it was a long day picked though the 20 hot wings. The coating was so hard we had to peel it off to be able to eat the chicken. The rest are being put where they belong the garbage. This was the second time in a few months that we have had the same result. There will not be a third. We will keep our KFC eating to restaurants other than this one.
Getting better all the time
Not the best or worst KFC Ive ever been to.
If you use the mens washroom you cant lock the door.. counter service was not a priority, orders mixed up poor communication between front staff and kitchen.
More like a bucket of fries with a side of chicken. Not very much value
If you love grease this is the place
Not really sure whats happening today but lineup in drivethru is horrible. Been inline for almost 45mins! And I haven t got to the speaker yet
terrible, you ask for dipping sauces with your chicken and then at the drive thru they want a tip from you on their debit machine and fail to even put your dips in the bag. the hell am i tipping you for. doesnt take a brain surgeon to put a dipping sauce in a bag.
Lies all Lies never get the right oder and Chicken is greasy and no flavor!! Worst one Ive been to yet!
I feel pretty silly leaving a review for a KFC but I gotta say this was pretty exceptionally bad. There was nobody at the desk so I waited a couple minutes until the worlds rudest man came up. I tried having the slightest conversation with him to be nice during my order and it may as well have been a... just a passive-agressive robot thats being inconvenienced. I got a veggie chicken sandwich which was almost $20 for a piece of literally just vegan chicken on cheap bread and it took 10+ minutes. I mean I get it, Id rather chill on my phone all day too but when I worked in fast food I put a bit more thought into it than this lol. Clearly they dont have bonuses or prizes or competition or friendly work parties or anything of the sort to make the job enjoyable. Id much rather give money to a business that keeps their people happy. This can be a pro or a con but the place also hasnt been renovated in forever and feels like youre in a time capsule of a burger king in the 90s.
It tasted ok the service was friendly
Cold French fries,slow service, great chicken, drive thru broke down Most time
The gravy was the worst kfc gravy I ve ever had in my life. It was 100% watered down and watery, no flavour. The popcorn chicken was not like kfc popcorn chicken at all. Tasted like baked no name popcorn chicken. Don t waste your money
Waited in line for like half an hour when there was only a few cars in front of us. Food was alright though.
Closed drive thru long excessive waits for food store needs improvement
It is slow, con.... But it is one of the few KFCs where the chicken tastes like KFC is supposed to (so many seem to cheap or on spices and the result is bland chicken, the Colonel would be deeply disappointed). Old decor, meh, wherever its fast food
Have visited this KFC three times and 2/3 times they have had no chicken pieces available. Frustrating when you have to alter your order.
IN NEED FOR MORE STAFF.. WAITING TIME FOR ABOUT 15 MINS.. Food
Good meal... new fries nice.
The place was so dirty no tables were clean the food sucked me and my family were disappointed they earn all of this money and can t even cook good chicken strips or wipe tables
Food was good and friendly service. Only one Bathroom to share was the drawback.
Food cold so salty and disgusting and poor service Parking: Kenora Food : 1/5 |
Food was good, took a couple minutes long then normal
Chicken was perfect!!
bad managment. If I worked there itd be so easy to fix. They open late every day and the food tastes gross every 3 visits.
Chicken is good, once a week.
Like how they have picked up the pace, cause I love their chicken
Worst service. Hours open are never correct
Not nice at all
Parking: Only have drive through long waits but the staff are very friendly so the wait is fine and the food is cooked great
Getting expensive now... But what isnt ??
I used to really enjoy kfc, sadly a few of their staples are not the same as I remember. The original style chicken isnt as flavorful, and the gravy is more watery. Im starting to enjoy their chicken fingers though. Ill still keep coming back for their spicy big crunch sandwiches and poutine.
Terrible KFC. Food was extremely salty. Gravy watery and fries are not what they used to be. Inside store was closed and was drive through only. Would not recommend at all. Go across the street to McDonalds at least they have the ability to be consistent.
Service is slow, peek in ..its dirty grease and dirt every where... chicken is over cooked or greasy..they dont hold it.in the warmer.. service greasy with dirt
Incorrect order. Laziness and irresponsible worker. But I give a 4-star because César came in and corrected my order fairly quick. I appreciate you César for trying to get this establishment back to its glory
I understand during covid having the dining room closed but if you drive say a work van like me or even a mildly big truck you cant go thru the drive thru because they have the frame of an awning out...not canvas awning attached to it literally just the aluminum frame. Boston pizza got my 25bucks for lunch instead. Probably for the best as the smoked gouda ravioli I had was superior to anything from kfc anyway and they delivered it curbside to my van!
The chicken was well cooked, not greasy.
Underseasoned food and the wait times in their drive thru are obscene.
Picked up a 10 piece of chicken only to get discussed with the first piece and the rest were the same with the used oil taste and the grease and no spices on it. Flat greasy used oil and no spices if this is a new owner you better wake up. Waiting on your explanation on this slop you re selling.
Nothing out of the ordinary at this KFC Workers are polite and work quickly Food is hot and fresh to order
Order cashier was understanable, clear and crisp.
Says they close at 9 but called to make a pick up order at 8:30 and said they close at 8 on Thursdays
Come on?... its chicken, of course Im gonna love it...
My dinner was so salty and too much pepper on it was disgusting
Very poor navigation system.
Good chicken but I wish they served hot even warm fries every time I go there they are cold.
I ordered on the app for contact less pick up with the option of right now for pick up time. I arrived no more than 5 minutes later and the building was locked and they were only serving drive-thru. I called multiple times and someone finally pick up an hour and a half later. I was handed my order as all the staff left for what I can only assume was closing. That was at 730pm. @KFC I suggest you get a district manager looking into this place as I when I was waiting another customer arrived and stated this location regularly closed early.
Plant based burger is the best! Always a little slow though
Slow service. Be prepared to wait for mediocre chicken. Sometimes its better to get store bought chicken. Taste is the same.
Sunday evening at the cabin we decided to go in and get KFC, we looked on line to see hours and it closed at 9:00 PM. We drove there only to find a sign stating cash only and dining room closed. We drove back to Main Street to the RBC only to return to see the drive through was now closed. It was 6:30? What s happening to the service at this store?
Drive thru was pretty quick
This location still seems to be under management from away and it shows a bit. I understand there have been some changes recently in supervision and think it is a positive move for this outlet. The food is still very tasty and properly cooked which is appreciated. They are still only doing takeout orders and another good sign is the line usually stretches our to the highway. Ive had good luck as well using the KFC app to order online. It was nice to get an email that your order was ready, show up and go as you can pay online They are very careful to comply with the pandemic regulations and I am very comfortable ordering from here. The staff are very pleasant and work hard to satisfy their customers. If I have any concerns at all, it is that the line can be very slow at times. I suspect new staff are training so please be patient and ensure you thank the staff for working. I would also recommend tipping if you can. A good hint, coming at KFC from the West is recommended. (From downtown). If coming from the East (past A&W) you are in a centre turning lane. The vehicles turning in from the West tend not to cut you any slack and dont think to allow you to cross traffic to get in line.
Service was good and friendly however even for pressure cooked chicken it was extremely greasy. Need to leave it sit a bit in the basket before you put it in the warmer. Reason for is by the time I got it home from the drive through the chicken fell through the bottom of the box and it almost dissolved the paper bag underneath.
Too greasy
They killed the gravy!!!! KFC used to have the best gravy ever and now its the blandest most flavorless thing you could eat! I dont understand why they would change such a classic!!!! Bring back the old recipe!!!
Its ok
Watch out People, Twice they tampered with my Chicken, twice i found the skin of my chicken peeled off and a nose hair on my chicken, be sure of check ur chicken right in front of them.
Fast service
Food is good but takes a long time
Not bad messed up my order and forgot straws for my drinks but food was good
Its pretty good. Been around for years. People overlook it. If you havent had it for a while give it ago. I have to say this store has not been consistent. I had gravey today and it looked like beef gravy and last time I was here the chicken was lacking flavor.
Everything is already open with dine in, yet those cowards are still closed with drive thru longer then their lot can handle! Either fire your coward employees or close the place! But this line up will lead to accidents!
Great service
Covid-19 Long wait times but super delicious!! Worth the wait!
Was not pleased with KFC Kenora. We waited in the drive through line of 3 cars ahead of us for 45 min before getting our food. During this time 4 employees were outside at once all taking their smoke break. When we actually got our food it was all squished up and the only thing on it was a small amount of lettuce. I have not had very bad incidents with KFC before bit this one in particular was quite a poor job, I hope they improve.
Travel all over for work from BC to Quebec this has to be one of if not the worst KFC. Greasy, dark in colour (oil needs changing) potato salad expires the next day and already tastes off. Service was fast hence the 1 star. Would not recommend or go back.
It was too busy there during the days and took a lot of time
Dont order online here. Lost the money plus a long wait for them to figure out what went wrong.
Its alright. Didnt get my drinks the last time I went through the drive through. But that was the first time. Its good I guess just too greasy to me sometimes.
Slow service
Good food good value
Masks required by customers but not correctly worn by employees. Noses and mouth uncovered by one guy in back making your food. No gloves worn by anyone. Take your chances.....
Its a kfc, how could you go wrong?
Worse kfc I ve ever been to
Were only serving drive thru customers and had their lobby locked even though they posted no signage stating the lobby was closed or why. I visited well within normal operating hours and they have previously had their lobby open but apparently like to close it randomly, barring customers without vehicles access to their business.
The food was delicious but the pepsi tasted like syrup.
Chicken was cold and gross very greasy as if it was re cook fries are not very good as well
No chicken popcorn but service was great
Slow service
Always good food
Good service
awesome
It was terrible. Extra crispy chicken was discussing.
One piece of thigh had blood near the bone joint yuck other two were fine in my 3 piece dinner
Cheap food!
Cant get orders right
Loved it
Didnt get my whole order:( worst is I was on a road trip and you cant go back.
Omg the chicken is
Chicken was not crisp greasy and soggy
I love the chicken soon good
Fries were hot. Cruncher sandwich left me thinking, why did I wait so long, why did I pay so much, why did I bother?
Very poor service I think your ppl should let the customer know when they run out of chicken but no they dont and ppl were getting upset I was ready to ask for a refund cause of the poor service I think the kenora location should have a better manger then staff would be more happy to work for the Establishment but everyone quits I hope this helps out cause the kenora location is always losing good ppl ..thank you
Like the taste
I recommend this place
Kenora ON. Thur & Fri between 6-8pm, during largest international fishing tournament around. Left on two visits Thur w/o ordering, left once on Fri and decided to go through the gamut at 7:50pm Fri to take notes. The drive thru was closed; seating area well utilized, the parking lot was full and lineups were to the door inside on every visit. We waited a few mins for parking and another 20 mins just to order. The lone cashier was interrupted twice by a manager (?) using the register for whatever reason. The three orders ahead of us all had chicken tenders in them and when the person behind us tried to order them at about 8:20, they were told that there was only 2 left and no more were going to be made for the evening. Our order was nicely filled within 10 mins and we left by 8:30. There were customers still seated, the lineup was still to the door and parking lot was still full. Short staffing probably explains the closed drive thru but the customers turning away is frightful. And for the life of me I cant figure out why the chicken tenders were pulled from the menu when the store was open for another hour and a half and the place was packed. Unacceptable.
Great cook and got the order right
Place should close its doors OR replace management at the least. Drive thru is closed as usual. Could not even walk to the seating area since people had spilled large beverages on the floor in front of the fountain machine. Wife needed to take out daughter to the bathroom so she did her best to step over this area to find the bathroom was shut down for service....... literally walked out of this nasty dirty dungeon called KFC. Owner should be ashamed of everything going on there and should have his franchise rights pulled for incompetence. Hope someone at corporate reads this.
As usual KFC rocks and the reviews are always the same we loved it!
Cooked to perfection
Too bad the drive through isnt working
Kwik service
Best place ever with friendly staffs. Loved it Stop by kfc if youre coming to kenora. Its worth it 5
The guy who took our order was good but the Kitchen staff looked very confused! And caused lots of miscommunication! Food was good
Fried chicken!
Super busy all the time. We called an hour ahead for our order and they lost it so we had to wait and submit our order again. The food was good though.
Food preparation took a long time. The two stars are for the food alone.
Fast service. Chicken was well gooded, not greasy.
Long wait time. Food was cold. Place was dirty had not been cleaned for a while. Worst chicken ever, the batter has absolutely no flavor , the gravy has no flavor, all I got was a pile of greasy unflavored chicken. Do not waste your money here....
Total disappointment in our case. Late dinner on September 10, 2017. There werent many restaurants open at 8 p.m. and we didnt have a choice. We paid way too much for our two boxes at $9.99 described on the receipt which we will add in photos with the others. The 3 pieces of chicken were fatty and small. Big junk food at high prices. Our cashier was still friendly and smiling, it should be mentioned. Eating this horror before bed can cause memorable nightmares. Total of $22,58 with taxes which is undoubtedly a pure theft. We do not recommend this restaurant. Review written on September 14, 2017 in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada.
I ordered chicken and I got chicken.
Its not the best one ever
Not very clean! Washrooms were a mess. A child had spilled his full drink & it took 45 min. To be cleaned up. Meanwhile other customers tracked thru it.
Way too busy, not fast at all.
Service was awesome
Very poor service, is not very clean, always get my order wrong, food is cold, and they never have chicken tenders. I do not recommend !!!
Good service...food wasnt fresh though. Tasted old.
Chicken is chicken
Ok
Getting Faster
Service was fast and friendly. Bathroom was fairly dirty though.
The food was good! Had to wait a bit but that was cuz there was alot of people.
Good food. Only issue is sometimes the drive thru is closed due to staffing issues.
They messed up my order 3 times. Drive through was closed.
Long wait only two workers and the drive through was closed.
Nice place to eat chicken. Good deals $5 fills up. Too bad the drive doesnt work.
Got half a bucket of wings and legs not much meat. At least the count was right this time.
Best place for the chicken
Good
Good place, pretty quick and nice and cozy.
Besides having no lettuce thanks to the recall it was good the service was fast .
Washroom was dirty.
Long wait in line.
