Been here twice. Both times, I've gone home to see they got my order wrong. I tried to give them the benefit the second time, but clearly the employees deserve the notorious rep everyone else has given them on this location's review.

They aren't smart enough to turn off the "drive thru open" neon sign, even though the drive-thru is already closed. Which means I passed the sign, thought they were open, and spent 10 minutes circling the block only to have the menu lights turned off in my face. Stupid.

When it comes down to KFC.Greasy chicken,biscuits mashed potato with gravy, and wedges are a must. This KFC is clean and small.gets crowded randomly. Only reason I gave it a 4 its because if your driving there is limit parking space which happened to me. I had to wait for parking. Other than that its a great kfc.

I have never really liked KFC, but with things like UFC (Unidentified Flying Chicken) and Kennedy Fried Chicken near by, I decided to slowly try out all three stores. Honestly, as unbelievable as this sounds, my experience with KFC was not that bad. I went into the store and it was slightly sticky and humid given that it was a hot summer day. I pondered over the menu for a bit and ultimately decided on the chicken tenders $5 fill up meal; there were other $5 fill ups available such as chicken breast. My meal came with a medium drink, wedge fries, three long and crispy chicken tenders, a cookie, and a biscuit. I asked for the special KFC sauce and barbecue sauce. The food came out pretty fast. I first began with the biscuit, as I wanted to get that out of the way. The biscuit was slightly hard and I could tell it wasn't very fresh. Additionally, the biscuit did not have much flavor so I ended up dipping it in sauce. I then began to eat the tenders which looked like extremely long and obese fries. The tenders surprisingly tasted pretty good. The fried breaded outer skin was somewhat crispy. The chicken taste was well complemented by the KFC special sauce that kind of looked like and tasted like the southwest chipotle sauce at Subways. The tenders was somewhat filling. The fries were kind of soggy, but they were very filling. I saved my cookie for later, as I was pretty full. I was mildly entertained while enjoying my meal as there was a pair of coworkers, at the next table, talking about internet security and Spanish TV playing. The internet security talk was fairly interesting, but I mostly paid attention to the Spanish TV show. Interestingly enough, I did not understand a word of it, but I could tell that it was pretty funny. However, what was not entertaining was the irritating fly that decided it wanted to test the limits of its annoyance before being killed. KFC wasn't very sanitary, but the food, besides the biscuit, was decent.

About Applebee's
Applebee is an American full-service restaurant brand popularly known for its signature Riblets. Applebee was conceptualized in 1980 by Bill and TJ Palmer in Atlanta, Georgia. At first, the restaurant was named T.J. Applebee's RX for Edibles and Elixirs. After the concept was acquired by W.R. Grace and Company, the restaurant was renamed as Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar. Later the company and the Applebee's concept changed hands with Abe Gustin and John Hamra who started the first Applebee's franchise restaurant in Kansas City.
Later in 2007, IHOP Corp. now known as DineEquity, Inc. acquired Applebee's and began their journey together to make Applebee's the world's largest full-service restaurant chain. Today, Applebee's serves at more than 1,830 locations worldwide. The Applebee's menu ranges from Appetizers and Salads to heavy meals consisting of ribs and steak. Although the trademark dish Riblets is a hot favorite among regular Applebee's dwellers, the restaurant also serves some amazing burgers, sandwiches, pasta, and salads.
