Worst waiting time for a fast food in New glasgow.

August 14, 2024

Worst experience, I just ordered chicken thighs and they were soaked in old oil or maybe car oil , disgusting, my money went in the toilet...don't go there,they never change the oil.... absolutely gross 🤢🤢 🤢🤢🤢 Run by bunch of kids

July 16, 2024

Walked in and there was a foul smell, ordered two two piece meals which was very greasy! They had no root beer in the fountain and wanted an extra $3 to exchange the two cups for one can! Not impressed with the smell, taste or service. I DON’T RECOMMEND THIS LOCATION!

Just used the drive-thru for a quick sandwich while driving through the area. Great fast, friendly service. Food was hot fresh and fast! Nailed it!

Placed an order in the drive through and was advised it was a 20min wait for the order. No problem. Pulled up by front door and waited for my order. At the 30min mark and watching multiple orders go thru the drive thru I went inside. Charged for a 25 piece meal....given an 18 piece and when we arrived home found that it was under cooked, soggy, burnt looking (Dark greasy brown) and plain gross. Threw most of the chicken out and when we got to the bottom of the bucket, there was more blackened grease on the bottom than we had ever seen before (KFC is greasy anyways but this was horrific). The fryers obviously needed a change and probably wasn't hot enough when the chicken went in. Kids refused to eat and so did the rest of the family. Peanut butter toast and bananas was the end result. It may be busy, but undercooked and poorly made food is a waste of a person's money and time. This was the last bucket of KFC for the family....

I got it a few weeks ago and it was really good I got the same thing it was a boneless box, it came with three chicken tenders with the 11 herbs and spices, popcorn chicken, fries and a side which was potato salad and a drink. I got it this time and the fries were barely cooked and cold. The popcorn chicken was either just sitting there forever or not cooked enough, it wasn't crispy at all. I'm pretty disappointed since it was so good last time. Also at the window we asked for salt pepper and ketchup and we ended up having to go back in to get it because it wasn't in your bag and neither were napkins.

I've always been a big fried chicken fan, but this particular location seems to miss the mark as often as it hits it. The food is fair, but I've gotten home a few times with a bucket and found more "small" pieces than I expected. When the counter person has to keep ducking into the kitchen area, you know somethings up. Not sure if it's just under-staffing, or something else, but its a semi-regular occurrence, at least when I go. On the plus side, it's clean, and the staff is friendly. I'll still purchase from this location, but will only do so when I have extra time to wait.

Update: Haven't been back in 4 years. Went in for another try. Order the 3 piece teners box, paid about $13.50 and all I got was 3 very small strips and ice cold french fries on a plate. So I went back and said, isn't a drink and salad come with this? He handed me a cup and said these combo's rarely come with salad. I even pointed to the picture. Didn't make sense, anyhow. Wont be back. EVER. Chicken pieces are so small. Not worth the money.

Vegetarian options: I told the cashier three times, plant based sandwich combo. Lady sold me zinger sandwich. This is totally unacceptable giving vegetarian person a meat to eat. Food

Stopped in for supper..bought the dinner for 2 bucket ..fed 4 of us ..a good deal

December 22, 2022

Ordered $90 worth of food for my family. I was so hungry so i ordered a poutine to hold me over until we got home we re pulling away to find out there is chicken in my poutine we went back around to tell them we didn t order chicken in the poutine (I don t eat chicken) they said they didn t put popcorn chicken in the poutine I must have did it because they did not I said good enough either give me a new poutine or I want my money back for it. I sat in the window for 15 minutes fighting with them ti give me a new poutine. Finally got a poutine. Got home the whole order was wrong. All 4 poutines had popcorn chicken . My kids are vary picky so we ordered pacific foods that they would eat.

Stopped for take out - but went in to order. Restaurant was clean and tidy. Staff polite. It was a large order and everything was correct. Chicken was not overly greasy. Biscuits were tender and flaky. Corn was a little to spicy for the kids (though hardly spicy for an adult palate). Overall good experience.

Quick dinner box ..3 pics and a tiny squidget of fries. Chicken was good.. not saturated with grease, hot and crispy .. bit I had to agitate for ketchup and or mayonnaise, and was given no napkins to wipe my hands, and no eating utensils.. very shoddy. Dietary restrictions: No gluten friendly or dairy friendly options.. other than the drinks.

This is the second time my daughter and I go there and once we order are asked to go wait out front of the store. Today after waiting almost half hour an employee came out to say that there was a mixup and that it would be a few more minutes unless we wanted tenders instead of chicken.. And the poutine was very dry.

Imagine getting home, opening your dinner box to find the fries, the coleslaw and no chicken. Not one piece of the three I ordered....nor was there the single gravy....its happened twice in 4 months....I called and spoke to another more senior clerk and she made my order right by giving a free meal the first time.

its chicken. they offer allot more than they used to but. frankly it never wows me. theirs always something off about the food at this location i stopped eating here for years decided to give them one more try after there new renovation changeover. the food was exactly the same. just lacking in so many ways. the gravy is disgusting. the popcorn chicken inst never crispy enough always soggy. the chicken sandwiches are always slightly off.. squishy ? maybe the word. there not crispy and feel like they have been microwaved. the fries are also soggy 90% of the time. the only good part is the chicken but even then its lacking crunch. if they brought back Extra crispy permanently might change things but until then i wont be eating here again anytime soon. the staff is always helpful at least and friendly and its a decent atmosphere to eat in. and there are a few new things on the menu. like bread... wish i could give this place 5 stars but i simply cant the kfc in corner brook blows them away. its not the franchise that the issue for some reason its this locations food prep. just doesnt come out right and always leaves me disappointed.
