had a problem with one employee but manager handled it very well mostly all of them are very friendly food is fresh

Number one I only bought a double cheeseburger with bacon and I have high blood pressure so I was assuming they would not throw at least 3 tablespoons of salt in the meat and the meat was dry. It was horrifying. I had to throw it out the first I didn't taste it the first hot bites the first couple two bites, but when it got cool enough to where I could eat it, I almost threw up Vica and now my blood pressure is risen so high because of all the salt that they are putting into their food that includes their chicken the grease the salt they're trying to give us all a heart attack so please place this on the up. This is horrifying and this goes for every KFC/I wish they had kept that hamburger joint open because at least they weren't bad I asked for a medium rare, she told me they always come down well well guess what it was well done because it was already pre-cooked. All they did was toss it into a microwave. It was disgusting. It caused my blood sugar to rise and my high blood pressure to go by 25 points so this is a bad place to not eat there. I would highly recommend you do not eat there ever again. Their chicken is not the original gourmet chicken that we had when I was a kid. It was a greasy back then it wasn't over. I mean crusty was one thing but it didn't taste greasy now it's nothing but grease. It's a heart attack waiting to happen and if you eat it, you're going to have one if you continue it every day you're growing to definitely have a heart attack. I'll never buy from them ever in Kentucky fried or who the others. I will make my own chicken at home thank you and my own hamburgers of 93% meat or 98. !!!! if you wanna save your health, do not eat this place I had to throw the hamburger out when I took two bites as the way I like my hamburgers cold and that's when I tasted. It had a at least 3 tablespoons of salt in it and I almost threw up so anybody eaten there let it cool and then find out what's really it cause it's garbage!!! read more

I've lived just half a mile from this KFC for over 15 years, and I'm writing this for anyone lucky enough to read it before making the mistake of eating here. This isn't just a "bad day" kind of place -- this location has consistently served up some of the worst food experiences I've ever had over the last 5 years. We're talking stale chicken that's completely hollow inside, stomach aches, and yes -- even full-on food poisoning. It's like they've completely given up on even pretending to care about quality. My friend, who usually eats at the Northgate KFC, tried this location once and said it was disgusting. What's wild is that even the underfunded KFC in rougher neighborhood serve better food than this one. That should say everything. If I could give it zero stars, I would. Honestly, 2 stars is being generous. Please do yourself a favor and drive the extra few miles to a different location. I highly recommend the Natomas one. This place simply isn't safe or worth your money. The inside dining area isn't bad, it's actually a vibe. customer service seems like they're always trying to put in effort. I guess that's what counts. I just wish the food was better read more

Young man in a red shirt tonight spoke very kind with us. Gave us great recommendations. Said he was new but provided his favorites. Great choices. Great sides and chicken. Has really changed over the last 6 months for the better!! Better staff, food better, fresh and HOT!!! Way to go KFC with the crew, we will be back next week forsure. 15 years plus in Rio Linda and so happy we tried it again tonight!! read more

Chicken taste like it was left out overnight and reheated thrown into the trash eaten by an actual chicken then the chicken itself that ate the chicken was now cooked left overnight again and served with a side of stale fries read more

I just want everyone to know that if you want the best experience going thru a drive thru then go to KFC in Rio Linda . I swear that if I could tip the lady that speaks and takes your order at the drive thru I would give her a tip everytime . sometimes I just go there cause her voice and her politeness is so refreshing it makes my day much better.ive never got her name but shes great . and I know there's gotta be a lot of people that must feel same way about going thru that drive thru. ,,, read more

It's all about their app not accessible in any form. Can't order for pick-up, can't access rewards basically totally useless.

Employees are rude and lazy and the chicken tastes old and the gravy is watery that's probably why its hardly any customers at this location after paying for food I couldn't even receive a cup for just was told I had to pay the whole price of a soda read more

Throughout 20 years in the area, this used to be a consistent stop. There is not too much variation in quality. But today was by far the worst visit. Papa burgers were so dry I choked trying to swallow it, all 3 we had were old and dry. They had plenty of sauce, but meat was overcooked, and buns were really stale and hard. It will be a long while before I try them again. I don't know if the manager was gone, or they changed management, but grossly wasteful for food, I threw mine out, others fed to the dogs... I wouldn't even give mine to a dog. Gross!! What happened? It's been months since I visited, now I remember why, last visit I'd got chicken, it was very dry, stuck to bones dry. I'm done, the manager used to care, but I guess it got to her. It was empty at dinner rush, now I see why no-one was there read more

Sorry to say they did not do me right 07/09/24 2 Pm I bought a 8 pc special and asked how long ago was it made Just made it they said got it home 12 min. later Over cooked and dry as shoe leather Harlin Sanders would be OUTRAGED. Story tellers and poor quality food sold here. read more

Friendly employees. Only come here in RL when I used to shop at Food Source which is not Food4Less. A few times to bring a dinner meal home. They have a drive thru as I think all KFC's do. read more

This rating is in comparison to other KFC's. Facility: - dinning room: was clean with no visible trash. Trash cans were well maintained and looked touchable. The counter, floor, railing, all clean, no dirt nor dust visible. - bathroom: super nasty, I didn't see that coming based on how clean the rest of the place was. I had to debate on if I was going to wash my hands, based on how the sink looked. Customer Service: The two staff I interacted with were nice, polite (only reason I didn't rate this place a 1). It seems like they have a solid foundation to work through their shortcomings that may not be in their controls. Food: They were missing several items at the time of my purchase (12:30pm). They did not have Mac-n-cheese, order was missing a biscuit. I was highly disappointed in this. The chicken and Fries were cooked well. Maybe rating on the availability of food so heavily is unjust but to be honest the food is why we go to restaurant. If they had everything the rating would increase dramatically. read more

It has always been a positive experience at this location. My husband & I go to KFC at least twice a week. Bonnie is our favorite. She is fast & Friendly! Her eyes seem to be smiling, as we are unable to see her face cover by the mask. As for the food it is piping hot & fresh! You rock, Rio Linda KFC location! read more

Don't even want to give a rating Just order popcorn chicken for my child i open the box my child takes a bite and says mommy I can bite it hard I'm trying to understand what's hard I said put it to the side and my child repeat mommy it's hard again so I sit down and touch the popcorn chickens it's all hard like a rock not even a few pieces my child can bite it so now I have to find something else for my child to eat my opinion would be kfc follower the timer then ur popcorn chicken won't come out like rocks hard chicken so disappointing just wasted my money next time ask for fresh food read more

Discolored old frozen coleslaw. Confronted manager he wasn't very apologetic or surprised or show much concern about quality. His response was "Oh I believe you....it's fresh from this morning, our refrigerator is probably just too cold." How about, "Oh I'm so sorry about that. I can check to make sure we have a fresh one and replace it for you." read more

I cannot believe this KFC has raised some prices as much as 250%. 6 chicken strips for $16.49 and this is not the meal price. Large coleslaw almost $7.00!!! I have been told same franchise owner owns the Watt Ave and Elverta Rd location as their prices are just as ridiculous. KFC website shows nationwide pricing as of Nov 22 as $6.99 for the chicken strips and $3.79 for the coleslaw. How do they get away with this. Chicken isn't that good. read more

This Hast to be the worst KFC I have ever gone to, I have given it second chances Over and over and over they can never get an order right there's nothing like getting home in finding they forgot to put necessary condiments in your bag you order a large drink they give you a medium and then they wanna argue with you and tell you it's gonna cost more for the large drink. I ordered Chicken strips that were so tough I gave them to my dog. If you look in from the drive through the floor of this restaurant is filthy I guess this is a place that's owned by someone that doesn't care. I will go to Popeyes from now on read more

"Hello, how may I help you?" "Hi, I was wondering if I could call in an order to pick up." "Sure, what would you like?" "I'm actually less than 10 minutes away, can I take all the chicken ready to go?" "Ok, do you want original recipe or grilled..." "All of it, the buckets can be mixed." "Ok, just come inside when you get here and we'll have your order by the cashier register." I miscalculated the food for our rehearsal dinner and guess who was at the right place at the right time? Thanks Colonel Sanders. The service was better than expected. I've been back a few other times and enjoyed the chicken pot pie. P.S. They gave cute little root beer floats on August 6th for National Root Beer Float Day! read more

The woman who is usually super sweet was def not sweet today. I asked hello on the intercom cause there was a five cars piling behind me and she yells at me out of nowhere that she will be with me in a minute. Like you couldn't say that when you saw that I was there? How was I suppose to know that it was busy? We all have worked customer service before at least say that instead of me looking stuck stupid. There was only one car in front of me. Like catch a attitude with your superiors girl. Not me. read more

We run thru the drive thru and were greeted by Bonnie. She was very cheerful and seemed happy to be helping us from what we could see with mask. I guess you could say she smiled with her eyes. We will be back, as our food was well put together, cooked correctly, and hot. Weld done in these times KFC. read more

I also seem to have bad luck with this location. They always make a huge mess making the shakes always drippy,I never get a straw and napkins when we don't check.. well today topped it all they didn't have the lid on and it went all over myself my daughter and my car. This location just sucks and they refused to get us a bigger water to help clean the mess or offer a towel of any kind. Hope someone reads these read more

Got to get my Tuesday special on I've been going there for a long time they're great thank you Rod

This location either needs to close or open under new management EVERY TIME I come here the chicken is old and hard as a rock u literally can't eat it even if u tried order a meal and only the mashed potatoes are edible I will not come back to this location stay away unless u like wasting money read more

The workers are working while positive with Covid....as long as they aren't running a fever they can go in with covid. So gross and not ok. KFC do better!!! We literally just got out of a pandemic. read more

This place is not good! They serve old chicken! Nobody wants to eat old chicken for dinner. The managers must not be good. The biscuits were stale also. Have a little pride in what you do. When someone goes to your place for dinner, grab the good chicken, throw the old ones out. We dont want to eat a piece of chicken that was leftover from lunch! I even asked the lady to give me the freshest pieces. I told her I didnt care if it was extra crispy or original. I just wanted it fresh. She obviousy did not pass that on at 8:30 on Sunday night 8/29. Cmon man! Is it asking too much to get 3 pieces of fresh chicken? Old breast, old tiny leg, and 1 fresh leg. Thats why they only get 1 star! I fresh leg out of 3! Maybe they need new managers! Or, better training! read more

This is my secoond time to this locaton within the last 2 weeks and it has been as nasty as the first time. The only thing different this time was that there was a cockroach on the counter top. But the normal dirty dinning room and sticky floors. I took the pictures and then just walked out. Don't worry about calling there corporate office HARMON CORPORATION, they think of millions of excuses as to why there Lobby is so dirty. They are a joke and they think people are idiots. This time I took it a step further and sent the picture to Sacramento County Enviromental Health. I CANT SEEM TO UPLOAD THE PICTURE OF THE ROACH !!!!! read more

Still only allowing drive through. No walk up counter. Really hard when you have multiple employees with you. Just ordered a lot of food. The only thing that I requested was hot sauce. Wow, received ever condiment on the face of this planet except hot sauce. read more

If I could give negative stars I would. As other reviewers mentioned, this is the absolute worst KFC A&W around. First time I ever went here, the employees were rude as hell, and this continued onto other visits as well. On top of that, the food is always undercooked, which can be lethal. This has happened many times, and I don't plan on visiting this location ever again. Still thinking about reporting this place and I can see that I'm not alone. Not like they will read this anyways. I'm probably the only person in Rio Linda that looks at Yelp and has an active internet connection. No need to take your hatred out on customers because you decided to work in fast food. read more

Do not eat here. The staff are very unfriendly and I've gotten food poisoning twice now after eating here!! Place is also very dirty. They almost always mess up my order. Last time was no exception! read more

The only reasons I give this two stars instead of one is the root beer is delicious and the employees are friendly. The food is so-so. Well, most of it is. The family likes the chicken better than frozen fried chicken, but not much more. They prefer to go next door to the grocery store for a rotisserie chicken, which is cheaper, tastes better, and more in quantity. The mashed potatoes taste no better than instant. The potato wedges are usually barely warm. About a week ago, we stopped by there on our way out of town and I ordered the cheese curds. They were stomach turning. Disgusting. I actually physically gagged because they were so rubbery and gross. I don't know how someone can ruin something so simple, but they did, and if I had not been on my way out of town, I would have returned for a refund. I stopped at a park to throw them in the trash. They were that bad. I doubt we'll ever return, unless it's just for root beer. read more

Two stars sounds about right. While the employees are nice, they charge for water. Personally, I think this is pretty ridiculous. I don't think I'll come back. read more

Place hits , chicken was delicious , I love new mountain dew chicken tastes so good. My grandchildren love this chicken and velocity island park. read more

Haven't seen the worker, misty, since my last review and after that i assumed she had left/been fired. All other days I've been to this KFC have been a friendly and welcoming atmosphere from all the other staff I've seen there. Unfortunately, for me, today i was waited on by misty and again she was very rude and just like before my order was incorrect after she assured me she understood my request. I honestly don't know at this point if its her not entering the order correctly or if the other staff just can't get shit together when she around. At the VERY least she should be moved to the back and not allowed to work directly with customers. read more

The Restraunt "Manager", if you can call he that is extremely rude to her staff as well as customers. I came in tonight and like other nights she was berrating her staff. Even called one of them an idiot, then got in a yelling match with another employee that turned out to be her daughter. I ordered a 20 piece 1/2 reg/crispy, they told me it would be 10 minutes. I waited, watched it come out of the fryer, and then watched as the manager pushed out all of that crispy chicken out of the drive thru window, then sent another employee to tell me it was going to be 10 minutes. In total I waited 30 minutes. Meanwhile her staff was super awesome, apologizing for their managers screw up. Then after I got my food I decided to ask her what happened, she immediately blamed her employees telling me she eas going to write them up and fire them. So I called her out on what I saw, and she called me a liar, and got even ruder before I just gave up and walked out. This woman doesn't know what professionalism is... Which is why this store has such a garbage rating. read more

This KFC use to be good, but apparently their night crew doesn't know how to do their job, first I ask for a root beer freeze, the lady repeats it back, then proceeds to give me a regular root beer and try to charge me extra when I ask her to fix it. After that she shuts the window on me when I ask for butter and honey for my biscuits. read more

Man this place was horrible. Flies everywhere and the trash cans were overflowing. The tables were trashed and the floor is dirty. The floor mats in front of the soda machine were dirty and sticky. The soda machine was nasty and sticky. The food prep area had the scoops for the food just sitting in there with the foods. Never again! read more

Don't eat here!! I got an 8 piece meal and the chicken was raw! Took it back and showed it to the manager & she refunded my order. Good thing she did because I was about to come unglued. Every time I order in the drive thru they mess up my order and always ask me to pull around even when no one is behind me. I get that you have drive thru times to meet but I don't go thru the drive thru to pull around front and wait for my order. Screw your drive thru time and focus on cooking the food, getting orders right, and focus on satisfying your customers. I should report the raw chicken you tried serving my family to the health department! read more

I live across the street from this location, and I've always loved KFC for over 40+ yrs. Each time I've come into the eatery, it is downright unsanitary. Can't even sit at a table while waiting due to not cleaning or cleared. Manager is very rude and snappy. On 2 occasions I've ordered 20pc hotwings and they were so old the meat was like jerky. Food is left in warmer entirely too long. Worst KFC in Sacramento. read more
