Ok, so every KFC I look at on Yelp has 2 stars or less- no matter which KFC, the location city, 2 stars or less.! I haven't been to a KFC in 20 years, its just not in my rotation of fast food. However, I heard about their new chicken sandwich and on my long drive home from the desert I stopped at the KFC in Banning at 22nd street. You know the exit, the one with fast food row. Normally I'd hit the Del taco, the Farmers Fresh Burgers or Gus Jrs, but not this time. I steeled myself for a 2 star or less experience and drove to the drive through line. Ordered the spicy chicken sandwich combo with Fries (apparently french fries are relatively new to KFC?) and a beverage. Paid at window and young lady asked me to park as they were making it fresh. 6 minutes latter I had a fresh out of the fryer sandwich and piping hot fires! The sandwich is surprisingly good- spicy and tangy sauce, thick dill pickles, nice bun and excellent fired chicken. Their fires are good too- really tasty. Am I going to go back again before the 20 year mark,...? Probably, if I can get them to replicate this meal. read more

i can in there the other other night to get my dinner and a employee named Rylan was rude and stuck up.

Stopped by on my way back from LA at 830pm Sat night. Buffet sign says 7 Days a week 10am-10pm. 1 1/2 hours to eat. There was no chicken, gravy or biscuits. When I asked the cashier if he could put these items so we can start eating he laughed and said the chicken had ran out. He ended up yelling to the back to put more chicken. Eventually 10 minutes later comes the chicken and gravy. No biscuits. 20 mins after eating the other stuff still no biscuits. Saturday night. Only me my son and 2 asian women eating...Shoulda stopped at Jack in the Box... read more

This KFC is one of the few that feature an All You Can Eat Buffet. It is the only reason to come here. The buffet has just about all of KFC's standard menu offerings.. served help yourself style. This is good, and bad depending on the customers; most seem to observe reasonable buffet courtesies, but it seems there are always a few who simply don't care. We understand that its a buffet, and you can take all you want, but really guys; some of the customers will literally empty the whole tray onto their plates! The challenge here is the KFC Management Team just "looks the other way" ... we have seen customers simply peel the skin off chicken pieces (with their fingers) and leave the rest in the buffet trays! NOW THE GOOD NEWS.. if you ask, the management will bring you fresh, untouched chicken from the back; fresh wings, breasts etc.. just ask! Try that at any other budget buffet; its not going to happen! So you can enjoy KFC, as much as you want.. an entire buffet line of choices for less than $10 Dollars! We avoid the buffet on weekends when it seems the animals crawl out of their holes, and enjoy it on week days when a more civil group of people show up! Love KFC.. what can we say? read more

How can you be out of frys, butter. No Dr Pepper . Missing items supposed to be included in meal. Missing items I ordered. Just plain garbage. Guy try to hand me drink that lid was not on all the way and spilling all down the side. so disappointed. Will not ever go here again. read more

I thought I'd be the first to write a review for this place since they have had fast & friendly service on both of my visits. I ordered a large family meal & the cashier was nice enough to offer a special they were having, which actually saved me money & offered larger portions. Great, I'll take it! I find that most kfc's will make you wait for a special order. Not this place. They are smart enough to know that 6pm is dinner time. I pulled up to the window & it was ready. Just like fast food should be. read more

KFC - Fast Food Near Me - Banning, California

KFC - $5.00 dollar fill-up Only 1 piece of chicken - Fast Food Near Me - Banning, California

Came for the buffet and it was old and crispy sticking to the pans. The employees inside hardly refilled any of the food and when they did it was like the leftover from their warmer. Would I come back? Yes, but with better expectations. Just disappointed I wasted $30 for old food I could have gotten fresh if I went through the drive thru. read more

KFC - Fast Food Near Me - Banning, California

I came here with high expectations. This is the first AYCE KFC I've come across in the last 8 or 9 years. Yes, way back then we had an AYCE KFC back in Kansas and it was awesome. Sadly, my expectations were let down. This place is way small. The saddest part is the AYCE doesn't have much selection. Sure, you got your original recipe, some grilled, and a fixin' or two but yeah... not like it use to be. Lots of fat kids and fat people too. Eh. If you're coming for the AYCE, keep the expectations low because it's not all it's cracked up to be. read more

Great service and the buffet looked very fresh and hot. Plus, we got a free cake for filling out a survey and a free large fountain drink for checking in on Yelp! Convenient location, just off the freeway. Overall, good experience! read more

Recently my girlfriend was in town for memorial weekend and we decided to reminisce and go to KFC. I have not been to a KFC for many years but I had memories of living in Laguna Beach and occasionally stopping by the KFC on Pacific Coast Highway. My friend had similar memories of going to different KFC's during the time she raised her children and after they were grown. So off we went to KFC in Banning. We bought the eight piece original bucket and headed home to enjoy our meal. To say we were disappointed is an understatement. The chicken was cold underneath the skin which was greasy and soggy I'm sorry to say was a level of gray mystery gunk especially with regard to the Breast. The mashed potatoes and gravy were so salty they were inedible. I'll never go there again. read more

1/29/2019 12:08PM Ordered small meal (leg, thigh, mash etc.) it took 20 minutes to get it. Moved nearer the counter after 10 minutes and observed the following: dirty kitchen floor, area that assembles 'eat in' meals not staffed but food flowing out of the drive thru window going smoothly. Finally a young kid shows up and starts assembling meals and I get mine shoved at me without even an apology for being so late. I suspect this store has very poor management and except for the self-serving review by Lary C. all the other reviews says the same thing: dirty, gone downhill, bad food (yes my chicken was overcooked too and it wasn't the original recipe plus it was served 'to go' rather than eat-in). I forgot to point out that the buffet was almost empty of chicken and many of the tables were dirty. read more

Terrible customer service. They forgot one of my meals and mixed up and gave me a completely different order. Food quality was very poor. I'm not a person to be negative at all and usually give people grace, but I truly believe they could work to do better. read more

Went to drive thru and got the $20 fill up with fries. I was told it will take about 5 minutes for the fries and to park at the Carl's Jr. parking lot, which was right next to KFC and they will bring out my food. Well, while I was parked, I see all these cars after me that had already gotten their food. Some cars were asked to pull forward and waited for just a few minutes and the staff brought out their food, but seems like they had forgotten about me. I waved down one of the staff and he gave me a gesture like he was gonna bring out my food and then no one came out after waiting for another 5 minutes. Overall, I waited patiently for 20 minutes and still no one brought out my food. I have kids in the van, so I couldn't just leave the car and go inside to see what was going on so I got back to the drive thru line and asked for a refund and was told my food is ready. At that time, I was so upset and just wanted my money back. Horrible service!!! I asked for a manager and the cashier (her name is Jerusalem) claimed they don't have a manager on site at the time however she is the assistant manager for the shift. She did not apologize nor smile at all. I asked for my money back which I received in cash ( I paid by card and was told they can't put the amount back in my card). She did offer to give me my food that I ordered for free which I took it because I waited so long for it. When I got home, the fries were cold, hard and definitely overcooked; I ended up throwing it away. The chicken was also overcooked and dry. So disappointing, but glad I got my money back because the food was not worth it. I go to this KFC at least twice a month and I don't know why, but every time when I order fries, they always tell me it'll take 5 minutes for the fries and make me wait and park at the Carl's Jr. parking lot in front of the KFC drive thru. But anyways, after this incident, I will not be returning to this KFC. Very disappointed with their service. I never like to take the time to write reviews but because customer service at this KFC is horrible, I had to. read more

Went to this KFC tonight to have their buffet. This was the absolute worst. If I could give it less than 1 star I would. There was a bus load of girls from Bear Valley who had just left. So when we walked in there was a line of 6 people deep, and 1 cashier. The line was moving about 1 person every 5 minutes. Finally the manager made a brief appearance and I said isn't there anybody else available to take orders, it's obvious this guy behind the counter is swamped. She started taking orders, and I told her I wanted 2 buffets, so I paid, got our plates, and low and behold the buffet was out of chicken, biscuits and the Diet Coke was empty. If I was the regional manager I would fire them all and start all over again!!!! Customer service does not exist here, but who gives a cluck? read more

This goes out to the management staff over in banning, you do know and are fully aware that your specific location opens at 10am? If your not "ready" you don't have any "chicken" that cannot possibly be the consumers fault so now your changing your corporate set hours to something non posted. Kinda feels like false advertisement. Don't bother going here if you even think your time stamp incurred around the fact that people will open when they are pragmatically supposed to! John is the manager working today be sure to give a shout out to the man who obviously cannot perform basic restaurant functions to open on time..... read more

This use to be the best and I stopped by every time I went by, but lately they have the worst employees ever. Yesterday I ordered from the drive thru speaker. The girl couldn't understand what I was asking for. For example I would say breast and she would repeat corn. Since nobody was there I told her I was going to drive up to the window to order. She told me she couldn't take my order at the window. I should have drove straight out. I went up to the window and confirmed my order and paid for it. Ten seconds after I paid she told me to drive up to the door. I said why there is nobody behind me. She said she would get in trouble. She brought my order out and I looked at it. It was only half there so I had to go in and ask for the rest. They brought the rest of the order out and I drove off. I got on the freeway and my soda was just soda water which I couldn't drink and threw it away. I never going back read more

We were going to go Subway but it was closed or moved, so we decided to eat here. Worker was friendly. I wated to eat chicken fillet burger but they didn't have. You can not eat so many fried chicken. A lot of batter and not much meat. Restroom was filthy. read more

I didn't want to open my laptop while I was eating but when I opened the mashed potatoes and gravy I bought from KFC, I deeply sighed knowing I had to write a review. I only wish I would have taken a picture of the mashed potatoes before I started eating them but I was so hungry, I didn't think of it until I was nearly done with my second side: the cole slaw. Anyway, i didn't find anything wrong with the coleslaw or the yummy, flakey biscuit or the tasty chicken tenders from my big box meal; the 3 stars was because I thought it was ridiculous and I did not understand why I was served so little of the mashed potatoes. I mean, seriously, I think the measurement was literally 3 level tablespoons of mashed potatoes with a teasing drizzle of gravy on top. I was very disappointed. The least they could do is fill the already-small potato container 3/4 full and then add gravy. Im not going to go on about how much I don't understand the cheapskates. It seems I will have to go in to order when I go to KFC again in order to open all containers to check if I was given a fair amount. read more

So here the deal, if you're going to be rude as crap to me I'll take it by to a certain extent. Whoever the older skinny lady is that says "hello" in a rude tone when you literally pulled up needs to calm the heck down. Learn how to speak to customers, if I ever spoke the way you did, I would've either had an extreme talking too from my district manager or maybe even fired. You've obviously got some years on you, you should know how to speak politely at this point in your life. Otherwise, maybe this job is NOT for you. if I could say 0 stars I would because this isn't the first time I've gotten this woman and every time no matter who I'm with they don't like her either. Fix it. Your star rating is bad enough even without mine. read more

Worst service ever it took them like 5 minutes to attend us and we were the first in line they were literally ignoring us never coming back here again. read more

This place gets real hood, real fast. It's usually the customers going off on the poor workers, but I've also seen workers going off on each other. I don't go here often because of this, unless my kid is just begging for KFC. It gets real bad on the weekends. read more

Worst KFC I've been to and I use to work for one 25 years ago at 17. This KFC will not have some food prepared and heated. You need to wait 10 minutes from the time you order for Wings and 3 minutes for Potatoe Wedges. They say that those item are to order before making it. Inside of their establishment is also not the cleanest. Do not recommend. read more

I am a very chill person when it comes to reviews, customer service is key. This place gets a 1 star, if I could give a 0, I would. First, waiting in the drive thru for over 5 minutes just for someone to ask if I am ready to order. It should be automatic to let the person know to either wait or order. While waiting, there were are two employees outside just chilling. I mean if I was on a break, I would have walked inside to let the front of the house know that people are waiting to order in the drive thru. That wasn't the case. So after they walked back inside, the drive thru guy says what can I get you? Not the correct response "sorry for the wait, what can I get you?" Cause you know customer service is hard to learn these days. Anyways I went ahead and order the 12 tender meal. The guys says let me see if we have that. What does that even mean? If you are out of something you should know, and let the customer know. As I pull up to the window, no greeting, nothing, just people inside running around like they are busy. Let's not even talk about the cleanness of the gloves they were wearing, that's a different topic. Then supposedly the drive thru guy named John yells and says you want honey mustard right? Who are you talking to? Me or the customer waiting for their food inside. Upon returning home, this is the "quality food" they talk about. Below is the chicken we got from this place. Cut up chicken, no where close to being chicken strips. So we called the place and asked to talk with the manager. We let him know that we didn't get what we order and his response was sorry. Then he goes on and says we never had any chicken strips, I don't know why they told you we had them. Very disappointed with this experience and KFC has lost my business all together. There are more choices around this location. Heck Popeyes is right up the road. read more

This is the worst KFC I've ever seen. Came in for the lunch buffet, most sides and chicken bins were empty so we had to wait for new food. When the chicken came, they only brought out a few pieces so the people waiting in front of us took it all so we had to wait AGAIN. There was no white meat which must be "special ordered". Since when are certain pieces of chicken more special than others?The dining room was a pig sty and my wife said that the restroom was so filthy she wouldn't use it. We left hungry. Avoid this dump at all costs, I am repotimg them to the health department. read more

Friendly atmosphere and food is always fresh the manager is really nice and courteous I would recommend my friends to come eat here.

was going to leave a review however the other yelpers reviews pretty much sums it up. Not a clean or professional place to be eating. keep driving. read more

I normally don't do reviews but there's a difference of getting my simple order wrong once or twice. Not every. Single. Time. When you tell management, they pawn you off with a free meal that they get wrong too. I don't want a free meal. I want the meal that I paid for, not just whatever they feel like throwing in the bag. I go to different kfcs and get the same order and everything is fine. They've changed management so many times that I keep giving them a chance. I won't do that anymore. read more

Hello there I am sick and tired of complaining you're very inconsistent with your service I ask for a specific thing you say yes and I get home it's not there I just went there and I asked for a famous bowl with extra gravy I think there's even less gravy even though the guy at the window asked me twice what my special order was I am sick and tired of complaining I'm going to one day just stop going read more

I have given this place chance after chance but every time they fail. Missing drinks, wrong orders and never any sauce. I had to just drive away before I got angry. It's not that hard to get orders correct...I cannot believe these people think they deserve $15 an hour. Totally laughable. Otherwise the food is pretty decent and the service is hit and miss with many employees having pretty unpleasant and bad attitudes. Good luck going there, I wont be anymore. So happy Canes is now open. read more

Nice, clean restaurant. Friendly service. I'd give 5 starts but they tend to forget something in my order. I need to make the habit to check the back before leaving but it would be nice if I received what I paid for without having to double check. read more

Today at 504pm went to this kfc and I was in the drive thru I asked for unsweet tea and they said we do not have unsweet tea which is not true cause I get it when I go then we pull up to the window to pay and this rude girl AMANDA gives me these dirty looks rolled her eyes at me never said a word to me not w me how much my food was then handed me back my card and receipt and stared at me again and gave me another dirty look i so not care that she was a young girl but her actions and attitude was uncalled for i did say oh I'm calling the manager I will never return to that place again this place has nothing but children working there they all need to be retrained in customer service and I will be calling corporate how can you run a business with nasty attitude from their employees and to top it off the food tasted like it was sitting for hours never again lost my business and I see other reviews with the same thing rude people working there. read more

Where do I start with this place? It has slowly gone downhill over the past couple of months. It used to be my go-to for late night food since I work graveyard. But the last 5 times I have went I've been laughed at and told quote on quote sorry we are all out of food. AND, it was at least a half hour before closing. It didn't just happen once, it didn't just happen twice, it happened on multiple occasions. It seems like the staff is a bunch of teenagers who does not care about the company at all. If I am lucky enough to catch them at a time when they do have food they always, and I mean always get my order wrong. This place used to be great, hopefully with some new staff and some new training they can get back to their high standards. read more

Terrible. My elderly grandparents ordered 3 number 5s, and instead received, coleslaw in place of potatoes and gravey, dark meat instead of white meat,and thighs and legs instead of breast. Never going there until they give you what they ordered read more

On 7 12 2020 I visited this kfc in banning. I was disgusted by the way I was treated by the cashier at the window. Her name was corinne or corinna she may be white or Spanish but she s a older lady. Everytime I go there she always treat me rude not sure cuz I'm black but anyhow chicken ain't cheap and for you to be rude is a disgrace to kfc... with that being said I take my food home and my mom went for a second helping of chicken only to find a Fly.. i take the chicken back got my money back and will be filing a complaint at their corporate office. I will never be back read more

All-you-can-eat buffet at Kentucky Fried Chicken?! Say what? Yup, this place has it. This KFC is located in Banning just right off the 10 freeway and why I even bothered to stop here was for one thing and one thing only: AYCE buffet. This is the first KFC buffet I have ever been to. I guess there used to be much more of 'em back in the day but now they have almost gone the way of the dinosaurs. The buffet costs less than10 bucks ($8.99 I believe is what I paid) AND it includes a drink. The buffet set up itself is located towards the left hand side of the order counter and is kind of small. They offer their fried chicken (original recipe and extra crispy), grilled chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, biscuits, cole slaw, Mac and cheese, apple turnovers, salad, and a couple other items. They only have one tray for each item and once they run out they are out for a while as it takes some time before any and all items are replaced. And some items can go fast: if they bring out a new tray of extra crispy I suggest u slump up on those lumps quick 'cause guaranteed they will be gone in less than 5 minutes and it will be take almost twice as long for it to be replenished. Biscuits too; on my last visit I grabbed three fresh ones when they set out a new tray, walked back to my table to set them down and grab my drink, and when I passed the new tray on the way to refill my drink there seriously was only two left on the tray (there looked like there was initially more than a dozen). Arrr, 'tis be shark infested waters 'round these parts! As far as the food went, it's KFC and it didn't taste any different than that. I admit I'm not a fan at all of their apple turnovers though. Did I mention their stuffing they had here? That was yum. All in all, I got what I came for and I certainly got my moneys worth. If you're interested to try an AYCE buffet at a Kentucky Fried Chicken than look no further. read more

I am so disappointed with my experience here. I placed an order for 2 chicken colonel sandwich big boxes. First, we were told there was only one chicken sandwich left and they had to give us two littles instead, no problem. We ordered two boxes with Georgia Gold sandwiches, mac and cheese, coleslaw and mtn dew. We pulled forward, paid, no receipt (which I realized after the fact). We had to pull forward and wait for our food for a bit, also no big deal. Out food was brought out to us and we went home. We got home and opened our boxes, first problem was that we had mashed potatoes instead of coleslaw. Second problem was the mac and cheese was dried out like it was scraped from the bottom of a pan, third is that out sandwiches were NOT Georgia Gold. I am so disappointed with this experience I will probably never go back to this location. It's really upsetting when you order something and take it home and it's not even just one thing that's wrong but pretty much the whole order is messed up. If I knew I had to open the box, unwrap my sandwiches, check my sides, I would have. At the same time, I shouldnt have to do that. Luckily Yelp let's me give one star or it would be zero. read more

AYCE Buffet got my attention. Stopped by on a Sunday @ 230pm, after visiting relatives. Place was busy and full. Looked like after church crowd was finishing up lunch. Gave it only 4 stars cuz seating is at a minimum, so have somebody order at the counter and somebody else save a table. Food was always available and fresh. Chicken choices were regular/crispy, thighs, drumsticks & wings. If you're on the road and have hungry teenagers...go here!! $8.99 price is unbelievable for what you get. Jeez, you're gonna pay that for a just a McBurger meal & drink down the road. Staff did a great job keeping up...being friendly, available, clearing tables, adding food & running the counter. As I left, place was SRO. read more
