Is it just me or has KFC got really bad recently?
 

I remember I used to love KFC, mainly their chicken strips. But lately whenever I got there the chicken is usually dried out or if I get a sandwhich the bread is stale beyond belief. Aside from that those snackers are a joke, they advertise it as a breast of chicken but they just put a chicken strip in a bun with a few scraps of lettuce. To top it off I used to love their Triple Crunch sandwhichs but they recently decided it was a good idea to remove one of the chicken strips, raise the price 20 cents, and call it a Double Crunch. I swear Colonel Sanders must be rolling in his grave.

Anyone else notice this or any other fast food places that have gone down hill recently?

I liked when they had cheesy wedges...OMG, so delicious. I actually like the snacker, especially the buffalo variety. But fast food is disgusting, so when I do eat it, my choice is rarely KFC.

My town used to have a Bojangles, which absolutely put KFC to shame. It had to close down though...Bojangles can apparently only sustain itself in the South. =(

I only noticed their fries started tasting really rubbish, all soggy like - so I save them to give to the local tramp. Who, incidentally, uses the KFC toilets to have a wash.

Recently? Sir, KFC has always sucked. The chicken pot pies used to be okay at best, but I can't remember a time I or anyone I know has said "Hey! Let's get some KFC! They have such good food! ::salivate::"

Popeye's ftw.

I've never seen a Popeyes around here. The only other chicken place around here is Chicken Shack and that place sucks too. I'm also not black just for the record.

Let me rephrased that then, they went from having acceptable food to having products that are pretty much saying "Screw you" to their customers and having food quality alot of times that makes you say "How is this not a health violation?"

I've noticed a strange taste in KFC chicken lately. It something weird. Maybe they finally started injecting hormones in their chickens to get better results.

Anyways, I see this as well. They just aren't making quality food. (Yes, they did at a time). Popeyes is the only place worthy of eating chicken now...too bad their chicken is so small it's like you're barely eating.

What do you 'spect of conveyor belt chicken then assembled into various meals at conveyor belt restaurants where employees are clocked on how fast they can make a meal.

Shit is gross, son.

edit: grammar

If anyone has an Acme supermarket near them, their fried chicken is actually really good. Especially on whatever day they run their special where you get a bucket of chicken, bag of rolls, and two decent sized sides for $8. Beats what any fast food place can do since usually once you're in the store you wind up spending money elsewhere anyway.

I hardly go to KFC since there doesn't seem to be one in my area. Popeye's is rather popular here, and I prefer the chicken and selection anyway.

Man, where I live, we have Popeye's, KFC, and Church's chicken. And those places stay packed during lunch and dinner, especially on the weekends. I don't really care for any of those though, since I like chicken strips a lot better than standard fried chicken on bones and whatnot. The best chicken strips come from Chick-Fil-A, Arbys, and Guthries/Zaxbys. I don't if Guthries and Zaxbys is just a regional outfit only found in the southeast, but they basically serve ONLY chicken strips and fries. And employ attractive young ladies. It is good stuff.

But...I'm a cracker. =/

KFC is very hit-or-miss. For my fries & chicken, I frequence Long John Silvers. OMG party in my mouth <3 Or Chick-Fil-A. Although, I haven't been there in ages ;( I really should go... Maybe tonite!

Popeyes is certainly the best, but I understand where you are coming from.

The chickens they used to have with 3 legs were so much better.
I like there mashed potatoes and the occasional popcorn chicken, but yeah it has gone down hill for KFC.

I'd rather eat KFC than Popeye's. The breading on Popeye's chicken tastes like shit.

KFC has gotten sloppy and lazy in almost every one of their procedures. I don't get cold chicken, but hell I'd prefer it to chewy, dried out chicken. Their sides are all awful, and usually are tossed in haphazardly so that you're sure never to get the same amount twice, and they're definitely overpriced for the kind of service you get.

I know for a fact the one near my house is like that because it's a KFC/Taco Bell/Pizza Hut combination place, which is basically one of the worst ideas ever.

No kidding. We ordered something from both Taco Bell and KFC, and they only gave us half our order. When we told the lady at the counter, she told one of the guys working in the back about it, and he said "That's there side", and pointed towards the KFC side.

I don't care which fucking side is supposed to get the food, they should just get the order right. What's the point of being together if you can't even coordinate?

There's something definitely wrong about hybrid fast food joints. I don't like conglomerates to actually present themselves; I guess I'd rather imagine that perhaps that each fast food restaurant at which I eat is separate :( But it is not the case!

KFC has been horrible for awhile. The last time I was there (about two years ago), my chicken strips weren't even cooked all the way. They were still quite pink in the middle. On top of that, their food is way too greasy. The only time you can even bother getting decent tasting food from them is to ask for everything to be freshly cooked. If the KFCs around you are anything like the one around me, that food will be sitting out there all day just about.

I used to love their potato wedges, mac & cheese, mashies, and biscuits. Now I don't eat any of it. :(

I have a friend who lives in Kentucky who just ate at a KFC there. She claims that it's not as good as it used to be, but that it's not nearly as horrible as other places. Maybe it's because that's where KFC originally started? I'm not exactly KFC's biggest fan, and I love Popeye's when I went there once and we paid for one breakfast biscuit and drink each, but it turned out that we paid the single price but they accidentally gave us double the food.

I have yet to find another Popeye's, but if I do I would definitely go there.

You're not the only one. Recently, their chicken have been pretty...dry. Now, I just go there for their side-dishes.

If the chicken you're eating from KFC tastes strange... it might just be rabbit.

I live in Kentucky, and the last time I ate at KFC, the food was still pretty good. But I didn't even know they'd gotten rid of the Triple Crunch sandwich, so yeah, it's been awhile.

KFC gets worse every year, it's destiny.

"Hey how about we jack up the price of everything?"
"Again?"
"You know it!"

"I'd like eight chicken nuggets, thanks"
"That comes to twenty six dollars, okay"
"No"

No! It's Hormones I tell you.

Everytime I eat at KFC, I think of how the chickens were probably injected with hormones so the chicken you're eating could be so big.

It's very saddening ;_;

I agree with the first post. KFC's chicken quality has definitely gone down over the years. Their potato wedges are still good though; so are their generic biscuits, but I just love biscuits.

Popeye's is indeed where it's at. They've got even awesomer fries and awesomer biscuits. <3.

Cluc-U Chicken is pretty good, too; but I haven't had that in a while.
