    Not good 4 piece.
    John R.

    No Pride... I used to think it was teenagers that made fast food restaurants sub par, but I am rethinking my perspective after today's visit to a KFC in Edwardsville IL. This establishment was ran by a Baby Boomers (1946-1964), a Gen Xer (1965-1980), and two Gen Z's (1997-2012) As I was leaving the Lowe's headed to Chic-fil-a I spotted a KFC and decided the classic original recipe would be a great lunch. When I entered the lobby I noticed it was clean and modern with no customers. I ordered the 4 piece with great excitement and had to repeat my order several times for the cashier who seemed surprised to see a dime in customer. She was clearly preoccupied with the DoorDash order she was trying to get ready, and it was taking all she could muster. She may have just been having a bad day. She should not have to work at her age, but that's a rant for another platform. When the food and drink came out, they looked old and abandoned. The sweet tea was tan water, the Potatoes and gravy had been nuked, and the chicken was over cooked and had been left out for a couple hours. I threw two pieces of chicken away and left. The whole experience was a disappointment. Move over LJS and make room in the fast food grave yard. KFC will be joining you soon. Should have gone to Chic-fil-a.

    Cold fries

    I come to this KFC from time to time and it gets no better. The interior of the restaurant was remodeled in the last few years, but it is filthy. Every window is smeared with dirt, the floor is covered in dirt and all of the tables are dirty. Today, I went in to try the new BBQ chicken sandwich. I saw good reviews and thought while I was running errands I would give it a try. I placed my order at the counter. The lady taking my order is always very friendly. That's the good. Here is the bad. The lady taking my order told me they were out of the cheese that comes on their brand new sandwich...she offered shredded cheese as a replacement. Fine. Their soda machine in the lobby was not putting out ice. She got me a cup of ice from the drive through. My order was ready pretty quickly, mostly because the lady that took my order also made my order. The fries were barely warm. The sandwich looked OK, but looks are deceiving. The chicken was not even warm, the bacon was mad floppy, and the BBQ sauce was pouring off the sandwich. This caused the bottom bun to disintegrate. Slight rewind, when I got my drink, I grabbed a handful of napkins. When the lady handed me the tray with my meal on it, she put napkins on the tray. At first I felt bad about the napkins I picked up, but later I wondered if I would need more, or maybe just a shower. The sandwich had little flavor beyond the BBQ sauce. The only reason I come here is it is near other stores I shop at. There are a ton of dining options in this area and I really don't know how this KFC stays open.

    Cold food, small portions, flat soda and the sandwich bun was hard. Not even editable. Lesson learned. Never again.

    There is this thing about advertising, and maybe even negative news driving you to check something…read moreout for yourself. That was the case today with our lunch stop. We had come into town to drop off our bicycles for tune-ups. We had no particular plan for lunch, no particular cuisine in mind. We have heard all the chatter regarding the beef tallow switch the company had made in support of HHS Kennedy's MAHA movement. So we saw the sign, decided on a whim to take the plunge. My wife got a Frisco and fries, I got a Butter Garlic with fries. The food was average fast food. Nothing particularly remarkable and nothing bad. The shoestring fries were actually pretty decent. I don't think I would ever make a special trip to eat here. The kitchen needs a good cleaning, from where we were sitting, I could see that while they likely clean the cooking surfaces and other vital areas, they have let things like the area below the grill, and the exhaust vents to go untouched. The last time we had ever been ( years ago in Fairview Heights) to this franchise they had servers come to the table. It was a bit of a unique approach to fast food, sort of the gray line between a true sit down level and McDonald's. Now they have a kiosk that you have to navigate (we are in our early sixties, but tech savvy). Another older couple gave up and walked away while we were there. The weirdest thing about the new approach is the workers don't know what to do or say (so they say nothing). Your name is called out over the intercom and go get it yourself. You can see them working, they work hard to avoid eye contact, and certainly don't say anything to customers. I know that predictions of this chains demise circulate from time to time. I'm not wishing any ill outcome on anyone, but I'm not sure in this tough, wierd economy if what they are now giving is worth the price point.

    Terrible food. So I nicely spoke up. I don't get that worked up about mistakes. But then the GM…read moreimmediately became rude and extremely defensive. She obviously was having a bad day and just taking it out all that were around her, employees and customers alike. On top of this the place is dirty. The floor looks disgusting. The booth's and table's were dirty when we got there. It wasn't really busy when we were there. So that was my final straw. NO MORE!
