The food was actually hot, fresh and perfectly presented. The diner is very clean and presentable. The service was very friendly, but this location seems to be very understaffed. This was my first time at this location, and the front registers weren't working, and everything had to be ordered through the drive thru registers. I will say, the staff did an amazing job working through the issues, and serving the customers as quickly as possible. I'm not sure if it's always like this, but I'd suggest going when it's not peak hours. read more

Chicken is never ready and staff rude. Will never go back. I love KFC and wish this one was better managed.

When we arrived at drive thru, no one answered, we drove up to the window and noticed staff in the kitchen but still waited for someone to acknowledge us. Service needs to be improved. This was not even close to closing time for this location. read more

I've never waited 45 minutes for crappy chicken. At this point, I guess I should just be happy. They didn't run out like they always do. KFC is NEVER worth any amount times spent waiting. read more

Waited 5 minutes at the speaker, no one ever greeted to take my order. Drove up to the window and could see the workers just staring at me refusing to come to the window. Most disrespectful experience I've had at a fast food restaurant: which is saying something. Wont return. read more

KFC a bust! drive through was empty, had me pull around after I paid. kid at the window was clearly stoned. they wait a half hour (not exaggerating) to tell me they were out of the chicken I ordered. like who does that? needless to say I asked for my money back because I didn't have an hour to waste. I don't know how they stay open. I have been there twice in 8 months and BOTH times had similar experience. Will not be going back until it closes down, is rebranded as a Pollo Loco and re-opened. read more

The first thing I noticed was the door was broken. Ok. The next thing was the floor was so DISGUSTING. I wanted Long John Silvers tonight. I didn't even know there was one in town. We walked in and was looking over the menu. I already knew what I wanted! 1 piece of chicken and 1 piece of fish! with a biscuit!!! The server let us know that they have NO Long John Silvers. They were out of batter. I was very disappointed. But ok I'll get KFC. She saw that we were gonna order still and said. Just to let you know. We don't have any biscuits, coleslaw and something else. I don't remember what the other item was because I already decided to leave. read more

I don't understand why they cannot find a manager to run this restaurant correctly. Every table dirty every one of them. The manager had an altercation with another customer and her attitude towards everybody else changed for the worst. The elderly gentleman the took mail order 10 minutes to order my food. This is not the first or the second time it's just horrible in there . Only good for takeout. read more

Old, tired and dirty. Fried food will have pieces of of burnt food stuck to it. The menu birds are cardboard hanging above the counter.

Bad service they ignore you when you try to order inside and out. I will never go there again

sat in drive thru for 3 min no one came went to window and could see them gooding off and laughing and they looked at me and turned away. yelled guess you don't want service. well you rely on people to keep your job... aweful read more

KFC 21566 N John Wayne Pkwy, Maricopa AZ 85139 June 24, 2023 Saturday - 5 PM for dinner 2 Adults (1 that went to pick up the food, that was me) Atmosphere - N/A stars Food - 2 stars Service - 0 stars Background - The straw that broke the camel back. I rarely do updates to my reviews but this one is way over due. Atmosphere - Take out via the drive thru so no score for the business atmosphere. Food - Tonight's order is an eight piece meal, extra crispy with 4 biscuits and two sides of mashed potatoes and gravy. Like every visit I have had to wait on something. Today it was the biscuits. So I had to park. The biscuits were crammed in the bucket with the chicken. Smashed biscuits, and I had to wait for that. One of the two graves was open and had to open the plastic bag from within the sink. Thankfully they give a lot of gravy for the potatoes so we did not run out. Service - I understand making chicken and biscuits takes time. But it is the job of the manager to forecast and plan accordingly. They should not be out of biscuits or chicken at the start of the dinner rush. 4:30 or 4:45 things should be in high gear. In general they are always out of something and you have to wait. There has been times the items were not even available. Parking when you have to wait on food is always a challenge. I have gotten to the point to ask specifically where they want me. One time I was lectured like a child because I did not park in their pick up spots. Those spots are no where near the drive thru. Future -NOPE. If it does happen I am not the one picking up the food and dealing with them.. read more

Everything needs to be improved service attitudes lack ambition need to be more prepared for lunch and dinner time get it together or close

I absolutely love KFC fried chicken. That said, how can these KFC workers turn my dream come true into an unfriendly and toxic cash for fried chicken exchange. Seems like these KFC workers purposely disrespect their customers so they won't ever come back for more ratchet treatment. These KFC workers are rude, disrespectful, and lazy. Would have loved to eat some KFC fried chicken today, instead I was met with rude, disrespectful, and lazy workers who cannot care less about KFC customers at this location. Would give zero stars to match the zero effs these KFC workers behave with. Attached are some pictures taken today just I case someone at KFC thinks I showed up to the wrong KFC location.

we got food for my kids at this location when they handed me my order it had a huge red hair sticking out of the fries, told the "manager" he said no problem I'll replace your fries I told him I wanted my money back and he replied you should've said that before, he was rude and when he asked me to tap my card to return my money instead he charged me again I ended up paying almost $90 dollars went back the next day he finally refunded my $90 dollars but had to wait 8 days for my money to show on my account read more

This location is terrible, ALWAYS long wait times, even with no one else in the drive thru. Do not come here if you are hungry.

I am there pretty often due to delivery pick ups and I encourage everyone to stop ordering from there. I have seen an employee not wash hands after the bathroom. The male night manager was touching food without wearing gloves. They move at a snail s pace. They are constantly out of something. They have run of chicken multiple times with a 20 minute wait. The employees stand around and talk to each other;not working. It s not worth it. Do not eat here. read more

Found several bones of a wing inside my pot pie. I attempted to call and let them know but no answer. Really nice employees but despite asking for salt and pepper I received none and no silverware and no napkins. Dissatisfied definitely deserve a refund. I could have choked. read more

Great food and staff, service was great and fresh food, fast service timely manner and answered all questions

I really like KFC but recently it's been hard to find a location that has good service. I used my KFC app and went inside to pick up my order. After the app said order was ready for pickup I asked for my order. I was told they didn't see my order on their screen. I showed them my phone order and they said they were out of pot pies. Not sure how I was able to order something and get a message my order was ready when it was never prepared. I asked for a refund or substitute for the pot pie I paid for and was told they can't refund third party online orders. I told them it was the KFC app, not a third party. I was offered a bucket of chicken that was sitting there the whole time. I had ordered original recipe thighs but was told this was extra crispy. I refused the bucket and asked for original recipe. They did accommodate me. However there were several angry customers in there also waiting for orders they never got. Their online ordering process needs some help. read more

Neighbors - I complained to corporate shortly after moving to Maricopa just over 7 years ago and all I have seen since then throughout all the apps, are horrendous reviews from filth, rudeness, incorrect orders, unbelievable delays; I can go on and on. I cannot believe the health dept has not shut this place down already. . I just spoke with corporate at 800-225-5532 - their complaint dept. Though I am sure they are a franchisee, with enough complaints KFC will and must look into this. Wouldn't a clean, reputable establishment be welcomed in their space? I hope people who had the bad experiences that are overwhelming, will take a few minutes out of their day to call. Thank you. read more

I have to say, the Nashville tenders were really surprisingly amazing. They came out super fresh, crispy, and hot. I could tell the biscuit was fresh as well. The staff is always paying attention, and their detail when putting the food together is very nice. You can tell they make the best out of a situation, if they're short on something, they improvise. Will for sure come back. read more

This location is absolutely unorganized! I made an online order came to pick it up at time given only to get here and be told they have now chicken and won't have any for over an hour. This is the 3rd time coming here and having this issue. Whoever the management is needs to be retrained or let go! There is no reason why a place that specializes in chicken should be consistently out of chicken ! I hate to say this but I don't know what the employee do in there but i guarantee it's not the jobs they were hired to do!! This is unacceptable! This is like Starbucks running out of coffee .... Makes no sense and is pure inefficiency and negligence! read more

just try to go to that location today did order through the app pulled up to the drive-through drive-through disgruntled probably because of the lack of employees because general manager doesn't know how to run a site but anyways I pull up to the drive-through. I told him that I have an online order. The drive-through grill says it was just placed 20 seconds ago so I'm gonna need you to come inside the whole reason, I placed it through drive-through so I didn't have to go inside. Pull me around the building and then take it out to me. Yeah that's fine. I have me go inside. Just seem a little extra. So I told her I'll pull around but I don't wanna go inside. She said well I'm backed up. I have a bunch of orders. I told her that's none of my business. I'm just trying to get my food so I pull around the front I'm waiting I'm waiting. 35 minutes go by. I still haven't got my food so I go in general manager is talking to a customer so I wait in line customer is done talking to the general manager. Customer walks away and I up to the I to general I was like hey you guys pulled me around front. I've been waiting for my food and she said well it's right can grab it and I told her I've been waiting for 30 minutes. How long has it been sitting there? I don't want old food. So we get into a long argument I asked for corporate number. She tells me corporate's number doesn't exist. I said I refund. She said gonna have to go to the app belittle me. I try to tell her you guys don't have a corporate number that doesn't sound right, but some more I told her this is the way you run your establishment. This is a poor example of a representation of your company. She doesn't seem to care about that. I don't think she really cares about her job being a general manager means you're the face of that company in my opinion. I think she needs to be demoted a new manager needs to be brought in and I guarantee your site will improve so I ended up not getting my food having to do a long process to get a refund all because a drive-through girl was rude to me completely humiliated will never return to the location so if you go there go at your own risk read more

omg I went there today and they have a lot of missing menu item and the soda fountain was in bad shape and to top it off the roof leaked! now to the food I finally got my order and you can taste that the oil for frying my food hasnt been changed and is old! the food was nasty! tell me you are going bankrupt without telling me! read more

My daughter was assaulted by the Store manager left several messages and 3 months still have got no response police were called as well I asked and asked for the upper management but kept being told that it's the STORE manager and that she is the one who is needs to resolve this but she is the one who repeatedly got in my daughters face that is 16 years old. This is the worst place and not just that they never have food and close all the time before 8 and was told we met our quota for the night so we don't have to drop no more food staff is constantly rude when they make mistakes over and over and over. Don't know how but never have I been in a restaurant that is this way and lobby is never open just to the friends and family of the workers. Never answer the phone read more

We have come to KFC on John Wayne and given too many opportunities. We know to always have a backup plan when suggesting KFC because there's always something with them. They never have food ready to serve or always run out of chicken. If you do come to this location, be ready to wait 20 minutes before receiving any food. read more

My sister visited the KFC here in Maricopa, AZ and had a horrible experience which resulted in the manager having the police come to our home and having her banned from the restaurant today. The incident started with the restaurant not having any dark meat and refusing to substitute it with white meat. My sister asked to speak with the manager. The manager had multiple excuses about not having dark meat; my sister, then, asked her to bring down her tone. The manager named (Christine/Christina) became more hostile and said that my sister was rude and that she was not going to wait on her and closed the drive-thru window. My sister went into the restaurant: not cussing, yelling, or creating an unpleasant scene. She turned her video camera on starting recording the manager. The manager immediately ran to the back of the restaurant and called the police. My sister paid for her order and proceeded to go to her car. The manager ran out of the restaurant and took a pic of her license plate without her permission. My sister came home and about 10 minutes later, the Maricopa police came to our home and advised my sister that she is not allowed to return to the restaurant, for 2 years, or she will be arrested. Now, after posting a video to IG, Facebook and on our community website, Nextdoor, the complaints are endless about this restaurant, as well as the manager. My sister has NEVER been arrested and will not go to jail just because she was a falsely accused for being an irate customer. Furthermore, we have no intentions of EVER buying anymore KFC at ANY of your restaurants. Plus, we've already reported this incident to the BBB. I'm almost certain that this would not have occurred if she wasn't Afro-American. Especially, the police being called. read more

This place was just extremely rude. I'm working here in Maricopa and decided to pick up Kentucky fried chicken for my family. First they have a paper taped to the machine where you order at the drive-through that tells you to pull up so I pull up and instantly the girl has an attitude And she's like well that's not what you're supposed to do and I'm like, but you have a sign that says to so I placed the order with her huffing and puffing and then I try to hand her cash and she says nope we don't take that and I'm like you don't take cash as she rolls her eyes so I left will never ever visit this location again. If you don't want to work, then don't work. I would give this zero stars, but you have to give it one. read more

Apparently gave my mobile order to someone else even though I got there within 5 minutes of calling in the order.

I came here knowing it was going to be a mistake. The deal breaker was the cashier applying vaseline on her lips with her fingers then proceeding to immediately box food.

I'm not going to pile on with other members but I've tried to order chicken here 3-4 different times and each and every time they are out of chicken. It's to the point that I think it's a front business. Even Los Pollos Hermanos had chicken lol read more

Just left from takeout at KFC. Bought a pot pie combo and separate 1 pc Chicken breast. Noticed in car the single piece was a thigh, brought back to get correct piece and was laughed at that (apparently) I didn't know a breast from thigh. Went back to car took bite, def thigh. Went back in, 2nd girl says that's a chicken breast. Told her no, def not, she laughed again! Then they took it to third person who took one look, "yup that's a thigh, the customer is correct", switched it for me. Given a cole slaw for trouble. But both the other girls still laughing?!? I guess at KFC, using words like "breast" and "thigh" s/b normal but apparently comes off funny! They need more mature workers. read more
