Placed an order online for pickup. When I arrived the front doors were proped with no sign... I walked in to grab my order and when I got to the counter a young girl (Nelly) told me the lobby was closed and I needed to go through the drive thru. I had asked if I could get my order which was just just within arms reach she told me no... I had to get back in my car and go through the drive thru in a very rude tone and body language. I told her I'm not leaving until I get my order... Thankfully another girl over heard and handed me my order. She very briefly apologized and I expressed my frustration. This is not the kinda service that will have me or my family coming back. read more

KFC @ TEMECULA Parking is available out front for free and is spacious. There is also a drive through as well. We decided to go through the drive-through, and we got our order in super quickly. Our food came out within a couple of minutes. I stopped here just to grab their six-piece hot and spicy chicken wings, a chicken thigh, and of course their iconic gravy! The total came out to about $14.87 for everything. The staff was really friendly. We asked for some ice water, and they gave it to us in these really nice cups. We got our food and literally ate it in the parking lot because we were so excited for how hot and fresh it would be. The chicken wings were a great size, more on the smaller side,but honestly perfect for one person. As for the chicken thigh, it was also on the smaller side. My boyfriend ordered that one, and he thought it was going to be bigger, especially since it was about four dollars for one piece. I haven't had KFC in so long, so I was really excited to try the wings and dip them into the gravy. Let me tell you, this was the best thing I've ever had. The wings were so crispy, so hot, and had a nice little kick of spice. I genuinely enjoyed every bite. I definitely recommend eating it as soon as possible. I was reading other reviews where people said the wings were moist or soggy, and I can see why, if you drive home with them, all that trapped air in the bucket can make them lose their crispiness. If you can, eat it in the parking lot, in the store, or just as fast as you can. Mine were steaming, crispy, and absolutely delicious. Overall, I'll definitely be back to this KFC, or any location, honestly. This is one of my favorite things I've ever had. Everything was perfectly crispy and super flavorful. My only note is that I do wish the sizes were a bit bigger, especially paying around $15 just for chicken wings, but it was still really delicious. read more

The people that work here are fairly nice and helpful. Not a big fan of kfc but I do like this location and their tuesday deals. I prefer crispy chicken but original has more flavor. Its pretty clean inside and not very busy. read more

I took advantage of the "free" 8 piece chicken promotion. You just had to purchase $15 worth of food to get the 8 pieces so I ordered large mashed potatoes and coleslaw combo. Along with the 3 piece strips combo. I wanted to like it but the appearance and the soggy skin of the chicken lacked flavor. Take a look at my pictures. The coleslaw was lacking dressing and flavor as well. The gravy on the mashed potatoes was great but the potatoes tasted boxed. The positive was the customer service as they had my mobile order ready in 10 minutes and it was hot. I appreciated the promotion but not sure I would return if I'm craving fried chicken. read more

Oh man. I wish I would have read the reviews. I thought most KFC's were the same. This one is awful!! Just stopped by after the beach for a 12 piece family meal. (By the way, it's $50 now for 12 piece chicken and 3 sides, not even a dessert any more). The chicken came out immediately through the drive through. We just thought they were efficient. We were SO WRONG. I dont know how long the chicken had been sitting, we live about 15 min away. Usually my kfc chicken is still crunchy the next day. This was a gummy, floury mess!! All stuck together and congeled. Absolutely inedible after a 15 min drive and $50. If I wasn't tired, I would have driven back. Total rip off!!! My whole life I've never had KFC look or taste like this. What a huge bummer. read more

We ordered a 14 piece bucket of chicken, saved a few dollars by using the coupon in the KFC application - we were a bit disappointed that, out of 14 pieces, there was not one chicken breast (my favorite). We ordered it as, "extra crispy" and the chicken did taste good - most of us in the party did comment that the chicken pieces seemed smaller than in the past (our party of four completely consumed the entire bucket). All in all, a good tasty meal at a decent price. The drive through employee was very efficient, friendly, and focused on getting us on our way as quickly as possible. read more

I hadn't had KFC in years. My mom ordered it for an after Christmas celebration. Everyone loved it. She ordered a few family meals featuring original chicken and strips. Everything was delicious. The biscuits were fresh and the mashed potatoes / cole slaw were great as ever. We were given cardboard eating trays and plenty of condiments. I'd call that great service. We would definitely order from here again. read more

I placed an order for chicken tenders for the kiddos & fried chicken for the adults. I placed the order online & when I arrived (way after the "ready by time" in the app), I was told they were "short on breasts" & they wanted to substitute thighs. I said that would be fine. When I opened the buckets at home for lunch, discovered they had put in legs (not thighs) AND completely left out the chicken tenders. They did throw in lots of extra sauces, why I'm not sure w/o any tenders to dip. read more

If I could do 0 I would. I asked for dark meat 2 PC extra Crispy. No Biscuit, cup of ice water. I got 2 PC regular with French fries and they tried to give me Pepsi but I asked again for water. Chicken is fair at best. Fries taste like they haven't changed the oil in a while. If you have another option for take out, take it! read more

We've been eating here for years, but the last several months the food is NOT good. The portions are half full. You get mashed potato's, but they barely have enough in the large container for maybe 1 1/2 people. They now put the gravy on top of the Mashed potato's, and NOT everyone likes gravy! The Murrieta one must be run by someone else, because they don't do this at that Location, plus they fill up their portions! read more

I was visiting the area and my passengers chose KFC for a late snack because the dinner at a winery we came from wasn't satisfying. The KFCcashier was very pleasant and patient while we tried to decide what to order. We waited so long for our food and when we finally got it, I checked in on Yelp. There was an offer for a free pot pie and when someone finally asked if they could help me, I showed her the offer on Yelp. She didn't know what it was and went to a male to discuss (while I waited again). I decided to go to back to my table and nobody bothered to talk to me again. I'm not fan of KFC so I wouldn't return but I'm disappointed in the level of service a lot of establishments have these days. Communication is often poor and employees lack professionalism. read more

Went there after work and was very disappointed. Was told that extra crispy would be a 15 wait. After waiting for 15 minutes someone came out and told us we were misinformed that it was a 15 wait for the original and it would be another 15 mins. So we waited a total of 30 mins. Got our order, went home, opened it and SMH...they took the original and refried it to be crispy looked nothing like extra crispy...I was so disappointed and disgusted. Shame on you for making this place bad and for doing a horrible job when you get paid to work. Makes me wonder how kids of today would have survived working conditions from 20 years ago. read more

This story is true. The meal was horrible. The first bite assaulted my throat. Each chew felt like a never ending stab, i felt like i was crawling threw mud. I don't understand how something can be disgustingly stale, crunchy, hard, yet rubbery and bland on the inside. My dad bought me Korean Fried BBQ mix. It tasted unwelcoming, bitter, and shit. I'm never returning to this particular location again. Sayonara. TS PMOOOO TSTSTSTTSS PMOOOOO, improve by closing down read more

I ordered the Chicken Breast and Wing combination and it was terrible! The chicken was dry and no flavor whatsoever! The chicken breast and wing probably came from a miniature chicken, too small. I will never eat there again. read more

Kentucky Fried Chicken, a.k.a. KFC is by far, the world's second-largest restaurant food chain next to McDonald's. More often than not, we find ourselves craving for a bucket of fried chicken. We normally visit the KFC located in Temecula along Highway 79. The drive-thru option is quicker in our opinion. The workers here are articulate and efficient. There has never been a time, in our experience, that the wait in the drive-thru took longer than 10 minutes, at any given day and time. The employees are friendly and courteous. We also feel that safety and cleanliness are a top priority in the establishment. Each time we visit, we constantly see workers through the register window, wearing hair/beard nets and hand gloves. This KFC is well-stocked and we have not had the moment to where the place ran out of fried chicken of choice. Our favorite to order is the original KFC recipe, half original and crispy drumstick and thigh. The blend of herbs and spices make you crave for some more. Also, look out for deals; the 10-piece chicken feast for only $19.99 is the popular choice. read more

I would like to, thank Ms. Nereida the Manager of Kentucky fried chicken store D 016013 at 32425 Highway 79 for a great customer experience and delicious food.

I haven't been in the store in a very long time, and I was not disappointed. I gave this store a five star rating all around for great management and delicious food. Thank you, Miss. Nereida. It is because of managers like you did. I will return and continue giving you my business. I recommend this Kentuck read more

I can't believe this place is allowed to stay open. It's incredible how they can ruin proven recipes. The food today was inedible. Raw biscuits, stale cole slaw, and soggy extra crispy chicken. The only thing I could consume was the soda. I will never patronize this location again. After a long day at work I was looking forward to my first hot meal. Straight to the trash. Here is the date and approximate time 11/05/2022 1725 hours. A waste of $23 for two meals read more

Of course only 1 star as the chicken at least tasted like KFC. Almost the entire order was wrong. What a waste of money for dinner. What was ordered vs what was delivered 2 different worlds. Either the people working here don't care about their jobs or they don't actually read what is in an order. The management here should be ashamed of the staff and thier attitude to their jobs. Zero Attention to the simplest level of detail. Ordered Pot pie got mash and gravy. Incompetent. read more

Went through the drive thru... ordered a breast combo, wanted extra crispy, they didn't have it, they only had original, which I was fine with. I get the the window and they ask if I wanted any sauce, I said just extra gravy. On my way home I realized they never gave me my drink, I get home and they didn't put extra gravy... I try the chicken breast and it tasted stale and old ! I'm so upset with their business. read more

Been a while since I've eaten KFC. I seldom eat fast food, was pressed for time and so I decided to stop. There was a $14 for a 10 piece dark meat special. I love legs & thighs so I was excited. I thought it was s great deal. When I ordered I decided to get some coke slaw & potato wedges. I added a large iced tea & quickly the price went from $14 to & $30 in less than 60 seconds! I must admit the chicken (Original recipe) was better than I had anticipated. The wedges were hot & tasty but a bit on the dry side. KFC has consistently been good for Cole slaw over many years. The Drive Through service was fast & efficient. I would return to this location but next time I'd think I'll skip the side items. 10 pieces of Chicken for less than $15 is more of a bargain than a large iced tea & two side items! read more

Branden was our cashier and he was very nice and thoughtful he let us know he can help if we need anything if you go here ask for him!!

It took forever to get our food. We had to park in the front n wait like 10 mins, for thm to bring it out. It wasnt even busy, we were like literally the only ppl in the drive thru. Staff was super friendly but they did mess up on our order on top of it. I love kfc, n i understand w all this covid shit going on (supposedly), places hve reduced their staff, etc etc. So ima give thm 4 stars im sure next time will b better! read more

Went through the drive through around 8:10 on a Friday. Ordered a 12 piece and 6 wings. Got to the window and they said we don't have 6 biscuits we only have 3? Is chocolate chip cookies ok? Well no but what choice do it have! Oh and we have only thighs and legs? Is that ok? Again, what am I gonna do now? I paid for a different meal than I got! Oh and if you want Mac and cheese it will be 10 minutes...we'll not gonna make all the others wait! Get home...NO wings! $50 in food and a lot of what I wanted I didn't get. No thanks...won't be back! read more

I have been here several times and rarely get a good meal. Complained to corporate and no real change. A lame $5 coupon. I didnt want a coupon. I want the chicken done right. There is a virus in their chicken and food prep training. It just keeps replicating. They dont know how to bread the chicken, fry the chicken, or prep the sides. Only thing that is consistent is the potatoes and gravy and wedges (wedges are now gone which sucks btw). Last order. The breading was so light, it just tasted horrible. I tried to tell the team leader. She was like - yeah... sometimes the chicken is hot so the breading comes off so it's oily. Oh - ok. Wtf... this place sucks. No one is ever in the drive thru. It's the cooking process and training that need fixing. Ive been to much better KFCs but theyre the only game in town so it sucks. Dont go here read more

I hate this KFC And it will be the last time I come here. There is always a line outside the drive thru. I waited 15 min with 0 advancement on my position I finally parked the car to go inside. The young man was polite but, when I went to order a $5 special that is being advertised all over TV as well as in their own place their price on the menu board is $5.99? Does the ignorant owner even realize that is FRAUD. You can't advertise something then have a different price posted inside your establishment at the same time. I understand that they can be busy at tImes but if if you as an owner must know this as well then stop being a CHEAPSKATE and hire enough staff so that your customers are beIng attended to in a timely manner and stop trying to price gouge uour customers! read more
