Advantages: A much better selection and range of fast food than most similar restaurants.
Disadvantages: Chicken-only, not great for vegetarians, varying quality.

...common. So how well do KFC fare in creating an entire fast food chain along the lines of variations on chicken? The chicken comes in three forms - burger, bites or bucket. The burgers usually contain a chicken fillet - whole meat and far less processed than the Burger King or McDonalds' equivalent - topped with lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise and a choice of various others including cheese or spicy sauces. The bigger burgers, 'towers', usually have ... Read review

Advantages: Good selection, good food, good service, good prices..
Disadvantages: Small outlets in slightly inconvenient places. Only "good".

...institution that we know as KFC began in 1952 when Colonel Harland Sanders’ first sold the franchise to the KFC “special recipe”. Over the relatively few years since it has achieved fantastic success, based upon the solid foundations of the Colonel’s secret recipe. The food is excellent and the range of fried chicken delights on the menu is the basis of what makes KFC so great. From the “original recipe” meal of ... Read review

Advantages: Great tasting fast food usually
Disadvantages: Drive through is a bit dodgy

...to go to the local KFC drive through and pick up some food for us all for dinner. I have eaten many times in KFC and have always found all there food tasty and hot, well prepared and served fresh and hot. That is until Yesterday. We ordered the KFC Variety bucket at £12.99. What is the Variety Bucket? ----------------------------------------- Eight pieces of the original recipe chicken, Four crispy chicken strips, A regular portion of ... Read review

Advantages: Delicious
Disadvantages: Cannot think of any.

...just $105 to start the KFC franchising business that we know today. In 1986 PepsiCo inc bought the KFC franchise for a reported $840m although the Colonel only got $2m for his business in 1964. In actual fact it really all began before then as the early death of his father left Harland Sanders as a six years old head cook and bottle washer in the Sanders household, where by the age of seven he had mastered many local dishes. Between then and his ... Read review

Advantages: value and quality
Disadvantages: grease, no free toys, cleaners

Okay, so maybe KFC isn't up with fast food greats such as McDonald's and Burger King, but in my opinion it should be. Not only is KFC generally great value (useful for struggling students), it's also generally a lot less stressful eating out there than McDonald's etc. In my experience, an evening out at McDonalds/Burger King means crappy service by people who quite obviously don't want to be there, and being attacked by small obease children (again ...

Advantages: Some of the chicken was edible
Disadvantages: But Not A Lot Of It

...of spirit. It was a KFC in a service station on the M5 on a busy holiday weekend. The place was crowded and we had to queue for ages. Similar queues existed at the Burger King section and the restaurant was full. So we plumped for KFC. The problem was that KFC got overstretched. Standards did not so much as fall as plummet like a dotcom share after a profit warning. Chaos reigned at the counter as not only were people queueing to make their purchases ... Read review

Advantages: Yummy Yummy in my Tummy
Disadvantages: You have to take your belt out a notch.

...definately NOT for you, as KFC wrote the book on 1001 ways to cook a chicken the only problem is when they cook a chicken the cook the WHOLE chicken (my mind always goes back to the deep fried chicken head that the kid found in his meal a few years ago), but dont be put off. As you walk through the doors you breath in deeply to the wonderous smells, then as all regular visitors to KFC will know, you wait 5 - 10 mins in a queue. Fast food my ass, ... Read review

Advantages: cheap, quality food, friendly, good atmosphere
Disadvantages: fatty and high in calories

Having been to KFC quite a few times recently I would like to express my opinion on their food quality and services. Just down the road, about 10 minutes from we live is a retail park which has a KFC which I have been to three times now. I think the service is fast, efficient and the food has always been fresh and hot, including the fries. I generally find when I visit MC Donalds you get cold fries, which I cannot stand. Infact I cannot ... Read review

Advantages: great tasting chicken and burgers, chip seasoning is fantastic!!!
Disadvantages: Almost always get something in your order wrong

...to review some of Australia's KFC stores to provide an insight to all who might be interested to see what globalisation can really do. I've read some of the other UK KFC reviews on ciao.co, so lets see how KFC of Australia rates. Furthermore as a former KFC employee, way back in the good old days, I can really tell you whats going on. --- Menu: (Caution: Vegetarians Beware!!) --- As the name of the fast food chain suggests, KFC specialises ...

Advantages: Great Chicken, Variety of Meals, Speediness of Service, Drinks, Ketchup Pots, (not sachets).
Disadvantages: Staff are a bit Weird, Cleanliness, Buildings, Locations, Stickyness.

Firstly, we went to KFC when most other places were closed, or at least the nice ones. We were quite glad we did go to KFC, because the food there was quite nice. Although the place was a bit dingy, it was good enough and the food was excellent. What KFC Serves… KFC serves, (obviously), Kentucky fried chicken. This is a lovely piece of chicken, usually breast, (occasionally leg), and put in a slightly spicy batter. It is crunchy ... Read review

Advantages: Chicken lovers rejoice!!
Disadvantages: No delivery service and a poor veggie alternative (to be expected really with a name like KFC)

...food of the Gods, then KFC is like Thor's hammer, Neptune's trident or Cupid's arrow. The very thought of those secret herbs and spices, the juicy and tender meat and the fact that there isn't a restaurant within walking distance and my eyes brim with tears. A sorrow so heart-wrenching it never leaves me and the temptation to move closer to on outlet is so great I have to remind myself that there are other things in life. Well, ok, maybe that is ...

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: grease, lard and heart disease

Last night was the first time in my life that I have experienced the Kentucky Colonel’s chicken. I’ll give you a little background information on the Chicken King before I tell about my fowl night (excuse the poor pun). In 1890 Colonel Sanders was born, at the age of six he started cooking for his family. When he was 40 he started cooking for travellers at a service station in Corbin Kentucky, it wasn’t until he was 65 that he ... Read review
