Earlier today, my sister and I went through the drive thru to KFC and bought coleslaw and 3 biscuits. The representative asked if I would like honey, which I relied, "yes please." When I got home and emptied my bag, I was surprised at the amount of honey packs received. There were 21 total packs. I only used 1 pack per biscuit. I suggest the operations manager talk with staff and provide a ratio for how many honey packs should be distributed. Think about how many customers go to KFC each day and how quickly this restaurant must go through inventory of all products. This review is not to get anyone in trouble, but an opportunity to become more efficient and save the restaurant money. Every product cost money and every nickel, dime and quarter each day adds up. read more

KFC - Full honey comb worth for only 3 biscuits. - Fast Food Near Me - Hilo, Hawaii

Service is terrible. No communication between employees. Difficult to understand when ordering outside. Employees are nonchalant, get us in and out. Place is clean because no customers are inside dining. Food too salty. Called in my order, employee forgot to input so had to wait. Not returning. read more

Nice people, good service, needed some easy lunch on our way to the volcano. Don't go here! Ordered a breast and I'm not sure what the tasteless boney thing was we got, little meat, lots of bones, and not cheap. Got a leg but it was either an extremely emaciated chicken or it was really a wing drummie. What a disappointment, KFC needs to get their act together! Please bring back a full breast, not some chopped up whatever I got! read more

It seems like every time I come back here, it just gets worse and worse. No customer service at all and the girl working the drive thru is so clueless. Im surprised they still in business. Ugh! read more

Food was meh. Staff wasn't very friendly. The store was clean. I asked for salt and was told they ran out.

Drive thru customer service is great at this location. She was quick and accurate. According to the guys who ended up eating the meal they said it was delicious. Of all fast food chicken nuggets KFC nuggets are my favorite because it seems like it's chicken pieces and not processed chicken. I could be wrong but either way they're yummy. read more

The chicken is worse than gas station quality. The preparation is terrible that chicken is low-grade no value for your money read more

Ordered a hour in advanced. Got there 20 minutes after the time I set it up for pick-up. Still wasn't ready. Took basically 2 hours for my order to finally be ready. You get one star for a clean building. read more

Just went to buy the 8 piece chicken for $10. Customer service was awesome! Bessaline helped me with the app which at first wasn't working properly. She was very professional and patient. 5 stars for her customer service!! read more

Worst service possible the customer is not appreciated here rest rooms off limits unless you are an employee food was cheap and poorly repaired . Run by locals and not friendly to tourists. read more

Very good service! We got our food very fast. The cashier was friendly and helpful. The store looked very clean and inviting.

It's awful! The fried chicken is terrible, tough and hard to bite into. Plus, they mess up your order and give you fewer pieces of chicken that u ordered. It's so frustrating when you drive away and realize it too late. read more

The restrooms are not available to customers, they were out of fries, milk and several sodas. They got our order wrong and were not apologetic about any of it. I would never visit this location again. read more

Out of all of the KFCs I've been to, this one has been by far the worst. The employees were very rude and unprofessional. The floors inside are greasy and I almost slipped and fell. The bathrooms had a disgusting odor and when I looked inside, it was completely trashed. The air conditioner wasn't working, so it was extremely hot inside. My chicken was overcooked, didn't have any flavor, and was very overpriced. read more

I drove up for a chicken sandwich and fries. They let me know at the window they were out of fries and asked if I'd like another side instead. I chose mashed potatoes and the attendant yelled "mash & gravy" to the crew and everyone started busting out laughing altogether. Could have been an inside joke but then a worker came to the window seemingly just to get a look at my face, started laughing, and then walked off. It made me feel really uncomfortable and I probably shouldn't have eaten the food but I paid damn near $20 for a sandwich and a side. Anyways, woke up after a couple days with a sore throat. I'll never be eating from here again and strongly advise anyone else against it. read more

I would not recommend to go to Hilo KFC they always get your order wrong. The price is outrageous. Quality of food has gone down drastically even talk English. They don't even get back to you even when you try to get in touch with the corporation or leave a message. No one gets back. We went to ordered two chicken sandwich meals got the sandwich no fries no drink. I don't know what that was all about we went.back They only gave us the drinks but no fries. If I could give zero stars, I would. read more

Way too expensive and my chicken tenders were way too small and the wait for my food was way too long

It didn't even taste like KFC. They must use a different batter. Service was good just the chicken didn't taste like Kentucky fried chicken.

The food and the service here are bad. There is never anything left. Everything is always sold out. The people look like they hate their jobs there, and it shows in the way they provide drive up service. read more

I paid $41 for this?! Ordered the 8 piece meal like I usually do. They didn't have extra crispy so I said original was fine; I didn't know that also meant they'd only be giving me wings and drumsticks. Not a single breast in the bucket. Shameful! read more

Well let's "catch up" on a few things here. I know due to COVID a lot of things have changed. That's fine. I really did appreciate that they posted on the door before you enter on what products they are out of, but, they forgot one more thing. KETCHUP! Who eats this marvelous chicken without KETCHUP? Now instead of dining in, I have to go all the way home to eat it. OMG! The customer service was great, very attentive but no ketchup. Yeah, I can't let that go. I need ketchup with my chicken or else I can't eat it. Well, hopefully they'll restock or ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ read more

Went to drive thru. The slowest service ever. Only I was in line and no customers in the dining area. I was waiting 20 minutes for my dumb sandwich. I should have gone accross the street to Panda. I wont go KFC hilo anymore. read more

A bucket of chicken is $60.00 what a joke. And it's mediocre at best. Avoid the colonel at all cost.

I waited 20 minutes for fresh chicken. I received three burnt and inedible chicken breasts five drumsticks three, which were cold two which were fine. Absolutely the worst Kentucky fried chicken ever. read more

Usually I think going to KFC is easy and reliable. Not so. The last time I went, the chicken tasted nothing like KFC. I couldn't taste any of the spices that are well known.I was shocked. It tasted like they skipped a step and didn't use any spices. I called them to complain about the chicken. The apologized and offered to give me a second bucket for free. The next day I called them to tell them I was coming in to pick up my chicken. They said " we can't give you any today, we ran out of chicken"! I guess living on an island I shouldn't be surprised but I was. read more

Food was terrible!!! Ordered just chicken, drums and thighs. Soggy on outside and dry on inside. Service was great though

The food was overpriced and once we got our food the gravy leaked through the bag and burned my hand. When we came back to talk, the service was bad. In general, the food has no flavor and would not recommend. Plenty of other food places near by. read more

Wow ive been to countless KFC's in my life, but by far this was a top 3 KFC!! Ive been to them in japan, amsterdam, africa. Pretty much every continent and this was amazing i got a chicken sandwich and the chicken was extremely moist nothing was stale or left out to sit got sides that were also great the large mac n cheese was enough for 5 person family i did have to wait a little for the new fried apple desert but thats because they were fried right then and were amazing, fresh and crispy 100/10 WILL be going again read more

If you can believe it they ran out of chicken (6:15pm) and on top of that they weee extremely rude

So, I was recently just wandering around town and stumbled upon this little fried chicken shop. A lovely spot that goes by "Kentucky Fried Chicken." How very novel, I thought to myself, so I decided to give it a shot. And I must say, the meal I had here was downright life-altering. I really don't think I can ever go back to eating regular fried chicken. This is the Mount Everest of fried chicken spots. I climbed to the top of that mountain and there's no looking back. It is paramount. Every other establishment that would dare serve its lesser fried chicken would honestly be better off simply closing its doors. In all seriousness, this is a KFC. It serves KFC chicken that is basically the same as all other KFC chicken. It's cheap and it's good and I have no problem with that. The place is clean, there's usually parking, and the service has always been good for me. Don't expect this to be anything other than a fast food fried chicken joint and you won't be disappointed. read more

KFC - Tennessee hot chicken. Not bad! - Fast Food Near Me - Hilo, Hawaii

What a rip-off... Pretty dang expensive just for fried chicken. Even Safeway's chicken is decent and cheaper right across the street. Especially on $5 Fridays. Secret is toss those leftover soggy Safeway fried chicken into your air fryer just to recrisp them as good as new. Chinese restaurants pay attention... I grew up eating KFC when I lived within close walking distance as a kid. My absolute favorite was Woolworths fried chicken. Shell gas station sells tastier fried chicken for cheaper. Even after eating their meals often leave me still feeling hungry. Hope they did something about the hazardous drive thru thats likely to damage your car. At least your chicken is more worth it than Cafe100 for the price comparison. read more

I ordered door dash here, ordered a side of cole slaw, plates, and honey with my whole order. Never got any of that. Didn't even get napkins or utensils. I'm not usually one to complain but that ruined my night. Won't recommend ordering here. They just don't care. read more

Our KFC Is always on point with their food it is tasty and delicious and reminds me exactly of the KFC I had growing up in Detroit. The crew is special and work to get your order out accurately and quickly. The stores new remodel is bright and clean and the AC works great now, in front anyway. Like to stop by twice a month or more. read more

This place did a whole remodeling & renovations it's beautiful and gorgeous from the outside . You walk in its beautiful and spacious but i doubt anyone would wanna eat in such a heat. Day & night there is so much heat we cant even sit down & eat because were literally sweating eating hot food. The employee's were so sweet & when i brought up how hot it was they said they have been trying to get an AC in to cool off the place. These employees need an AC they are sweating and the last thing i wanna see is sweat being dropped into my food. I love this place everyone in here is so nice & so attentive but come on why renovate a whole place & not install or fix the AC ? What is these humongous fans suppose to do ? read more

First of all, their drive thru line was really long. Then when we get to the box to order the lady took forever to greet us and on top of that she had a whole attitude. Then we got to the window to pay and it took a whole 7mins to take our money. Not only was the food crop but the service was even worse. No greeting, no thank yous, or have a good day. Just horrible. read more

I just went for a Jamba Juice a few doors down but when our group met up at KFC there was this huge sign in the window enticing me to eat a piece of original boneless chicken. YUM! I had to eat it & did! Delicious white meat for only $2.49! See picture. read more
