I returned the next evening and they clouded the doors at 910pm. When I asked why the closed the dine in service they said they are short staffed, even with the sign on the door saying closing at 10. The two piece meal was not good either. The two pieces, a wing and a thigh fit on their small napkin. Definitely not the service and meal size I expected from KFC.

There is $10 menu that is printed on the glossy menus but it is apparently out of date(?) It looked much more appetising with ribs, chicken wings and chips. We asked if we could order from that menu but they are apparently "done" with these items?? Service has a lot to be desired as well. I ordered the salt n pepper squid and what came out was grilled squid on a salad so I was really disappointed. The salad was nice though but not what I wanted. Could be better if they catered to the average patron wanting a pub meal; i.e burgers, ribs, chicken wings to wash down with a nice cold beer. Beer prices were high though. Wouldn't eat here again.

They also have a good selection of non-meats and starters on the menu if you aren't totally starving. There's something for everyone, from food to music to slot machines to classic arcade games. There's a solid selection of beer and spirits as well. Leroy's is also a good place for parties and private events, with a private bar upstairs that can be reserved. Plus there's a nice little patio outside.

My first impression was wow, this is a beautiful fast casual chain! The decor is stunning, and felt like an elevated experience. I would not have known it was a chain! Counter service was efficient, and food came out after ~10 minutes. You can see the grill from the seating which is fun. We got a quarter chicken and fries to share. The chicken was juicy and well seasoned. The fries were just OK, pretty average. The piri piri sauces were fun to try - hot and tangy, and I appreciated that they had different spice levels and big containers. Glad we tried it!

This is my most far-flung ever review for YELP. I'm writing this from Mississippi 5,000 miles away…read morefrom this Carl's Jr in Palmerston N because I received exceptional customer service from the people at Carl's Jr and I wanted to pass this along to other Yelpers. I have a dear friend who I graduated from high school in Mississippi over 50 years ago who lives outside Palmerston North after retiring from a 40 year teaching career there in New Zealand. She lives alone in a rural area and raises goats. I had the bright idea that I would like to send her a gift card to dine out with a typical American hamburger experience and with YELP I was able to find, lo and behold, that the California chain of Carl's Jr which we have in Mississippi as Hardee's, has many locations all over New Zealand. There is also a McDonald's there but who treats a friend to a dinner at McDonald's, unless there are children involved? I will have to admit, though, that all my friends do drink coffee at McDonald's in the States which is very, very good and an exceptional bargain for seniors at $.69. I notice from their website Carl's Jr has some seasonal special burgers that are a little far-fetched for my imagination. Anyone who wants a highly rated American burger would be advised to stick to the Big Carl or Original Thickburger before trying any of the exotic concoctions. It seems that gift cards have not yet reached the level of popularity in NZ that they have in the states so I contacted Carl's Jr to see if they had something equivalent. They have a contact form on their website at http://www.carlsjr.co.nz/contact-us/ or you can just email them directly at: Feedback.CJ@rbd.co.nz Their customer service people informed me they do have gift vouchers in any denomination which are similar to gift cards in function but are not reloadable or as flexible since they have to be used for the full face value at time of purchase. Breaking a $50 gift certificate into 5 x $10 is a good idea for your recipient's flexibility. They do take American credit cards and the credit card company handles all the currency exchange which is a great thing. They charge $5 for postage or courier as they call it. A $50 NZ gift plus postage cost me $34 US so it was a great bargain and had the additional benefit of making me feel like the big spender. For those used to the speed of light in internet transactions, plan ahead. While the people at Carl's Jr. were exceptionally nice and accommodating, the process took about 3 weeks. I will ask my friend to report back on her dining experience and post an update to this review at a later date.
