This is my favourite restaurant by far. I have been going there for many years, I'm well know to the entire staff. They knows what I usually order which makes me feel on a personal level. Their chicken and fries are always fresh. They take pride in what they do and shows they love their job. It's worth the drive if you have to pass on on the way to go here.

I just went to Poughkeepsie Main Street Location, The young lady at the drive thru window was such a pleasure to encounter. She's a keeper

Staff was wonderful and so was the food. I placed my order and received my food promptly. And the whole atmosphere was pleasant.

Common Sense With Elizabeth

They were very nice and helpful. Very friendly. The manager was very helpful attending to a need I had due to a disability. Good manager kept her staff up on restocking and doing what was needed of them. Place was very clean and well kept. They were busy but the cooking area and behind the counter from what I could see was still kept very clean. Staff did their jobs, were professional, no horseplay or foul language like I have seen at other places on the same street. I appreciate that! Keep up the good work! Only thing I wasn't 100% about was the bowl I got. First time I got it. It was tasty but the popcorn chicken pieces really had no meat in them. Not their fault. That's KFCs fault. My friend got it too but hers was wasn't like that. I might have probably gotten the bottom of the batch or bag or something.

Brendan Guernsey

Shift manager was professional. She brought our food out to the car within the time frame she promise. Very friendly when she came over to the car. Food was delicious. Only small grip is if extra crispy chicken is moving off of the shelf they should have more prepared and ready to go.

Ellen Wolfinger

I go threw the drive thru mostly but I never have any issues the service is always good, they are courteous, friendly and if there was a wait they apologize. I also want to say a couple weeks ago I only Chad a large bill and the cashier at the window was hesitant and said our manager on does not like us to take this large late hours and before close but said it's fine. The woman at the drive up is always so plesant,so sweet. They all are nice and I never have any issues with my food. One time they left out the biscuit but was fine because they always are nice and my orders always good. I so recommend this Kentucky Fried chicken on Main Street in Poughkeepsie. Ellen Wolfinger

The food here was alright. I liked the chicken and loved the fries here. Recently, the fries taste a little different. I don't know if the way they make them has changed or what happened, but I don't really like them anymore. The chicken still tastes the same, though. The chicken always comes hot and crispy whenever I get it. I also love the chicken sandwich here. It is delicious. I would recommend eating here.

Although I had to wait for my order and my chicken was mixed between extra crispy & original. When I infact ordered extra crispy the people were very nice especially the older women working the drive thru. And of course 11 herds & spices accompanied by freshly cooked chicken was satisfying.

C
Cliff Farrier

This was a really good dinner for fast food. They were fast, polite and the food was hot. My order was right and they even threw in napkins and condiments into the bag without me having to ask them to do it. The fast was hot and well cooked. But i just couldn't give more than 3 stars. After all it is a fast food chain restaurant

S
Steven Rodriguez

The food was pretty good. It wasn't cold or dried out. The service was rather pleasant. My only complaint would be the wait time. I stopped in for a late lunch and the restaurant wasn't busy. I still had to wait over 10 minutes for my order. I'd still go back.

Foodfor Thought

The lady at the drive thru is very nice, the indoor staff however seems half clueless and half brain dead. They tend to be out of a lot of things, gravy, mayo, pickles, they even ran out of mashed potatoes yesterday! I highly suggest doing better inventory so that you can keep items in constant stock! Otherwise, food is still better than Popeyes.

M
Michele Pittman

KFC chicken is always good but the staff is super ghetto. Sorry but there's no other way to describe them. They have zero customer service skills, barely speaking, just pointing. F bomb dropped between employees loud enough for entire restaurant to hear, at least twice while I stood at counter. I hate going there but drive thru isn't much better and they're the closest one around.

D
David Sears

KFC on Main Street Poughkeepsie...Yeah, not exactly a beautiful location, however the service at the drive-thru window was friendly and helpful! Unfortunately the chicken, half original, half extra crispy wasn't cooked enough, soggy, and disappointing! The biscuits were by far the worst I've ever had, flattened, bad tasting..."YUCK"!!!

B
Bionqua Blaze

It's fast food. They're always out of something whenever I go. Crispy chicken is the best.

The food was good as always. I love their french fries but it appears that i unknowingly ordered on a day where they were rationing fries. No joke there was like 10 fries in my order which was really upsetting because, as i stated previously i LOVE their french fries. Im still going to order from here again but it was just disappointing :\

M
Mark Carroll

Great fast food fried chicken, terrible service. If they ask you to park at the drive thru, don't do it, they WILL forget you exist. Just waited 15 minutes before having to go in and ask for the fries I was asked to wait 3 minutes for. I'm 5 for 5 on being completely forgotten if asked to park and wait, I even requested not to pull forward because they were likely to forget, and they still did.

T
Thomas Nace

The cashier barely spoke any legible English, and she was trying to take my order and that of a drive through customer. I orders an 8 piece extra crispy chicken meal. It is obviously prepackaged frozen, was greasy and too salty. They were out of fries so I had to order the instant mashed potatoes. While waiting I got 2 Nashville chicken littles. That was microwaved, and the buns are patty were hard and pretty gross.

K

Everytime i go to the drive through they always say come in when im sitting im my car food is good but im not going in or sitting in the car for 15 minutes for food and for the past 2 months they have been saying come in

Barbara Rampersaud

Ordered the sandwich box and 4pc meal. Food was cold and awful. I received carbonated water instead of soda. I called the restaurant to let them know and maybe correct the mistake. To my surprise the person on the phone said she can give me a number to call to get a refund. Now Its not my fault why should i be making a bunch of calls. Now why are they delivering carbonated water to customers for Sierra mist. This is the worst service in a long time that I have received.

Service was slow and poor. The food was tasty and hot. They only had extra crispy chicken, kinda weird, but not a deal-breaker. I ordered their summertime special: BBQ chicken sandwich. It comes with bacon, cheese, fried onions, and pickles. I wanted spicy chicken, but the cashier could not and would not substitute the BBQ sauce for spicy mayo. Very frustrating. She just wouldn't put the order in for me. I asked for her to switch the sauces: NO, I can't do that. I asked for the spicy mayo on the side: NO, I can't do that. No effort. I'm sorry, but it's a simple request. I won't be coming back because of this.

Mike B

This is the second time I've attempted to get food here and had to leave. They have a drive thru but any time you attempt to order on it, they tell you to come inside and order. So now I wait on line, just for them to tell me they don't have the thing I wanted in the first place! Very frustrating experience, done with this location.

D
Dr. Rohiniraman Chakrabarti

Why is this place here? It should be called KFNC (Kentucky fried no chicken). 9 times out of 10 you'll have to go inside because there is an issue with taking the order at the drive thru. They don't take coupons at the drive-thru, as if they could not punch in the codes if the customer had stayed in the car. They are always out of something… usually chicken and customer service. They have manager selected business hours. They close at 10 but they should change that to 7. Okay maybe 8. No I will say 8:30. I want to be nice… Anytime after that you'd be lucky if they even pretend to know you are at the drive thru. You will then be told to come inside, they aren't dropping anymore chicken, they are out of this and that, they cant hear you, Its an absolute mess. God forbid you get there at 9:50pm. You would be admitted into a psych ward for talking to yourself. If you are lucky enough to catch them before their hourly break, I can promise you the food will be hand tossed into the box, over heated, and a half side (a regular side split into 2). I hate that my family loves chicken because this kfnc is for the birds (no pun). Popeyes down the block isn't any better. Both places you're going to pay $50 plus to feed a family of 4. Don't waste your time or your money. I found another KFC. Its a bit of a drive but for fresh food, good service, and i can use my coupon… I will take the 23 minutes drive to and from.

When using a third-party like Instacart, my order was completely messed up and missing many items when everything is clearly listed and not an itemized ticket. The workers in the restaurant should ensure that all items are in there.

The chicken and fries were overcooked. The chicken was hard, dry and discolored. The over cooking made the chicken very salty.

B
Brandon Cussick

Everyone who works at the Poughkeepsie store are as dumb as it gets. No one acts like they have a job to do. Food is typically cold and or constantly unavailable. They close at 10 but stop preparing food at 8/830 so if you want anything on the menu you better hope they still have it. This is definitely the worst kfc location I have ever been to.

A
Ashley Jose

I've been here twice and first time they messed up my order..also both times the young girl that takes the drive through orders with burgundy hair was extremely rude and nasty both times

Weimar Arango

If you be a driver for doordash or other deliveries, the staff don't help you and will be mad with you

Corinne Heidemann

The worst place ever. Food NASTY. Workers attitudes NASTY. Work area NASTY. Why this kfc isn't shut down is beyond me because there's always something wrong. They need a whole new staff crew..... & I've never written a review in my life . That's how bad it is

A
Alicia Campbell

Worst experience ever. Paid at 8:46pm 6/19/2020. Left with refund almost an hour later. Had to pull over because no crispy chicken. That's the norm at this location. After about 30 minutes went to the window. Guy says there's a lot of people waiting. Went back to car. Guy comes to car to look at receipt. He comes back later to say that there will be no more crispy chicken. Go to window to get refund. Manager/Supervisor informs me a bit matter of fact that they gave my order to someone else. They had no idea I was still there. Lovely system they have there, especially considering that almost everyone has to park and wait. This is almost at the hour mark. I had parked almost directly across from the drive thru window. Definitely don't recommend this place and will not be returning. 7/15/20 thank God Popeyes is back

Olabisi Olanrewaju Kolade

The drive through is annoyingly slow. The wait is for ever.☹️☹️ Even staff see you through the take out window and ignores you. Very draggy and poor service. They need more smart and professional staff. Unfortunately that’s the only branch on Main Street, Poughkeepsie NY.

K
Kate Szajko

Took mad long for the food ordered for my kid and the tables aren't clean enough to eat off of told them was eating in and they didn't give a tray or nothing disgusting had to just leave never again kfc all locations are terrible !!!!

M
Maksim McGovern

It’s rare that service is so bad I have to write a review. I placed a pick up order in advance so I could pick up food on my way home from NY to NJ. Every single employee working was rude and checked out and were acting like the customers’ orders were a nuisance. They also gave me the wrong order but I was in too much of a rush to get it fixed. So glad I don’t live near or I’d never go again

No supervision. No one to take orders because employees fooling around. Employees walk pass counter and ignor people waiting to take orders. Won't be coming back to this KFC

L
Lorena Neal

This place was not clean. Very dirty. Must have a bee infestation. Lobby very dirty. Bathroom had some oily stuff on the floor. Employee uniforms where filthy. Employees had no motivation. This is the 3rd time I visited this one. Thought the first time was a fluke. But no. Please see about this location

M
Matt

Service is the absolute worst. Beyond slow and ridiculously filthy. Flies every where and sticky, slippery floors from all the spills. Looks like they never mop. Place needs to be run with a completely new team and management. You can tell that the people working the registers really hate their jobs. Signs outside aren't even working which makes you think it's closed. 0 stars

J
Jeremy quiles

Soggy crispy chicken? it's supposed to be crispy. Your Mac and cheese is lacking all the flavor it's like they put yellow food dye on pasta with some water. the older woman with the glasses is the only reason I gave a star she's a sweet woman.

M
Marlena Harris

I was just there. It is Saturday. They don't close for 2 more hours. The only chicken they had was thighs and wings...... I was told they are not making any more chicken tonight by the manager. Ridiculous! No discount no accommodation. I was told they are cooperate owned now and that is how it is, now. When they were franchise owned this was NEVER a problem. I hope things improve soon.

A
Abraham Abud

Went to this KFC's drive-thru and ordered a 4 piece Original chicken meal with seltzer water. When I receive the order and check to see if everything is there, I only received two pieces of chicken. I tell the lady about the issue, she gives me the extra two that were missing, I drive home open the order to find that everything in the order was crispy, I hate crispy. The reason why I didn't notice that it was original was because it was dark out. I took a sip of my seltzer water, only to find out it was Sierra mist. Moral of the story, check your order before leaving.

P
Pete LeSoine

Stopped by to pick up a $20 bucket and after I ordered one employee said they didn't take 50 or 100's because they got robbed once and another said its because someone passed a counterfeit bill. No signage stating this and they wanted me to go to the gas station next door to break it! Needless to say I left and got food elsewhere and will never go back!!!!!. Explains why 6 employees and I was the only customer. KFC should close this poor excuse of a location.

T
Trey Tissiera

Wanted a 12 piece bucket. The young lady said they only had thighs and drumsticks. No wings and breasts (The best parts to me) I asked if there was a reduction in the price, considering. She said no. They should have offered to make up for the loss one way or another. I didn't like the lack of customer consideration. I probably will not go back. But I do love KFC.

R
Robert S. Howard

Pulled up to the drive in, ordered a KFC chicken sandwich. Got home and I unwrapped the sandwich to find a dry grilled chicken piece. Wow, duped again….. I have to unwrap each item to check my order while I’m still on line. Maybe they only understood the word chicken!

rude and uncultured boors. Slow and lazy. Never shipped goods on time. They deliberately and intentionally delay the shipment of food for delivery to Dordash

They are always closing the doors before 8pm. Any pick up orders from uber or doordash they refuse to service and ask orders to always be canceled. Had this issue more then 3 times already. And superrr rude.

Just smelled horrible and took longer then a hr to get food then the food was gross

C

It was horrible!!! No in there we order 2 2pc. Meals... sent 1 had to prove i ordered 2 meals finally got it . Ordered the cinnamon Bisquets the put in bag upside down all the liquid from them was all over everything. 5 other people cam in as we ordered EVERY SINGLE ORDER after was wrong! Worst KFC I have ever been to in my life!!

M
Mike Hunt

“We aint makin no food past 930 man we close at 10”. Was told by the man at the drive through they didn't make the uber order i went there to pick up because the order came in at 9:20. YOU CLOSE AT 10. The entire staff here is despicable

R
Rylee Pineiro

DISGUSTING! Flies all over, Staff improperly dressed, drive-thru not an option, you must come in. I never even ended up ordering because as soon as you walk in you are greeted with a foul odor and customers in front of you complaining about waiting 40 minutes +. Go literally anywhere else

J
Johny_bravo

Corporate please send a regional manager to this location the employee are messing up your restaurant one day at a time nothing in this restaurant is done on time the employee don’t seem trained at all and god forbid you work for uber if you do the food will never be delivered

C
Caroline Lupo

I placed an order online to be delivered to my son's address for them. The order cost me over $70. They delivered an $8 order. I tried and tried to call (from work, mind you). Got hung up on twice. The employees were extremely rude and actually put the phone down while they were taking other orders. I was sitting there for over 10 min's on the phone and then hung up on again! I called back and the employee barked at me that they picked up the order. She wouldn't confirm the address to where it was going, but did say it was for two $30 buckets. Then slammed down the phone on me!!!! I will NEVER EVER order from them again. The last time I did order, awhile ago, I wound up right after getting an alert that I was charged a large amount for something else.

C
Claudia

Food quality was very poor, the chicken taste as if the oil is old and burnt. I did not receive anything I ordered.and the service was so poor when I called to inform about my order.

F
Florinda

Please consider closing down this KFC located at Main Street Poughkeepsie NY. The food always tastes old and looks like it has been mishandled. I have personally experienced instances where the chicken seemed undercooked, and the overall cleanliness of the establishment was questionable. It's crucial to find new staff, including a cook, manager, or owner who can maintain high food safety standards. We need to ensure that consumers are protected from potential foodborne illnesses and food poisoning. This is not only a matter of customer satisfaction but also a serious health concern that needs to be addressed."

P
Preston S

I’ve never been to such an unprofessional workplace let alone fast food restaurant. 45 minutes to mess up a $60 order. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. The disgusting inside looks like it has not been cleaned in years and the staff is slow and rude. My next step will be filing a complaint with corporate and the Better Business Bureau for the horrible service.

J
Jasmine Coon

My food was completely incorrect. Half of the stuff I ordered was missing and WE STILL PAID $34. There was no drinks, did not even give us the water we were supposed to get.

T
The Handsome Chef

Went inside and all the tables were dirty. Asked the staff members politely if they could clean one of the tables bcuz each and every one of them were dirty. I told the young lady thank u for cleaning it and she gave me this very sarcastic look and smile while shaking her head not replying to me as if she was mad she had to go clean the tables. Definitely not eating there again because it was dirty and definitely not good customer service

e

N
Nicole Ramos

Horrible! I placed an order and once I got there they told me I needed to wait 20 mins. I went to my car waited 10 minutes and went back in and was told to still wait another 20 minutes. Like what? It’s supposed to be fast food and they want me to wait 30 minutes for a simple fill up box.

W
William Curtis

Absolutely horrible, I ordered a 4 piece chicken stip combo/ aka the #9 on there menu. The woman taking my order asked if I wanted original Or crispy, assuming that was one of the options the meal came with, I said crispy. she then preceded to tell me there was no drinks, that was fine. I was then told the only side I could get was fries, that was fine. When I got my food it was a 4 piece meal!! 😡. I told her I ordered a 4 piece chicken strip meal and there was no apology or anything she wanted to argue that she asked original or crispy which wasn’t the point. I walked out and trust me will never walk in again. Horrible service

J
Jim Davies

First of all the staff was rude . The girls name is Devine or somethingv like that. ( dont like your job , should quit. ) pathetic . Secondly the bucket of chicken we got was soggy. Never again.

My order was wrong and i had hair on my fries so i took the food back and when I got back through the drive-through the older lady gave me an attitude because she didn’t want to change the order and when she did me and my husband got sick off the food I don’t know what they did to the food and the drinks was hot No ice.

k
kristen

Went tonight around 9:30 pm was told the fryers are down and it will be a 20 minute wait for food. How many fryers are in there.. you’re telling me all of them are done at the same time. Just seems a little suspicious. It’s always some excuse everytime i go.

M
Missymix07

I have never been to a fast food chain where each and every crew member was rude & extremely unprofessional...2 crew member where yelling at me thur the head phone while I was trying to order. The drive thur menu was lit up and it was dark and after 8pm had to ask them to put the light on and they had the nerve to get upset. Forgot to give me my soda so had to ask and again rude I was told I had to wait she only 1 person, yes this is true but I waited 2 -3 mins at the window before asking. No napkins the older lady at drive thur needs to retire she is very mean & rude 😒 these crew members need to learn how to speak to paying costumers.. I can honestly say I won't be going back there anytime soon I'll drive to Wappingers instead.

M
Mark

Update: they are scheduled open until 11, but decide they're going to stop at 10, but will still accept online orders and tell the drivers they're not making it Gone way downhill... No more popcorn chicken so you get five soggy half nuggets on a famous bowl with the blandest gravy you've never tasted. Not worth the money anymore.

Something was bad that I ate , I am throwing up and l didn't even eat the coleslaw one bite one thigh and food poisening . This really sucks , don't go there. I know I got it there

A
Anna Spadaccini

I Didn’t get everything I ordered. They were yelling and screaming because they are running out of food. I asked if they could substitute and they said they could not do that. When I got home, the chicken that I did get looks like it’s greasy and old. It is dirty and gross there, they have trash on the floor.

P
Phil Berkowitz

If you put in a mobile order. They mark is as complete but they don't start it till your there. So poorly staffed. They tell drive threw customers they need to come inside. They will make door dash orders before yours. Dudes playing the Nintendo switch in between making my order. When did KFC get so bad....

B
B. K.

Right before Christmas, my wife and I ate from here, and my wife got soooooo sick! She had to call out of work, and she was sick on Christmas DAY!!! I am pretty sure it was the Norovirus. Never ever again will we eat from there! I saw a few comments back that the older black lady with the accent that worked there passes away. My condolences to her family and loved ones. She definitely kept that place running properly!!!!

M
Mohammad yazjeen

i went there once there was no sauces no ice and the drinks didnt even taste good and there was barely any carbonation and the drinks didnt even was warm and the food was raw and the chicken sandwiches were just oily there was a lot of oil on the chicken it made my stomach hurt. I gave them the benefit of the doubt thinking it was just a bad day for them but the same thing happened all over again. This is absolutely ridiculous and embarrassing.

Worst kfc ever been to. Workers are slow and incompetent. Running out of food and no one has anything cooking. Waiting a half hour in the store for a mobile order that I put in 20 minutes before arriving. The cook is busy singing in the back room with the music blasting and not even putting food in the oven. The table looks dirty and the place is a mess. The guys behind the counter look flustered and confused.remember why I stopped going to this location and drive 20 minutes away to fishkill which is organized and quick.

Shirley Murray

They used to have this African lady there, But she passed away some months ago. She kept everything going the way it’s supposed to go now Kentucky fried chicken place on Main Street in Poughkeepsie across from Wendy’s is going to hell, there was a young lady I came to pick up food for a customer. I asked her how long it would be. She told me I don’t know nasty. I waited for a little while and went and asked her again. I told you I don’t know nasty again then she started cussing at me and saying we only have three people here “ but” Have she had said that the first time I could see but that’s not what she said to me she spoke to me as if I was a child and I’m a grown woman and she’s a young lady in her 20s, I felt disrespected in embarrassing at the same time with a lot of people in here. Call me some names that is not nice.

J
Jorge Gómez Arcia

The worst service I've ever received in my life. Workers don't try at all and are rude, make fun of people and think people don't realize their rude attitude. They are far from good customer service if the owner does not want to go bankrupt he should select or train his workers more.

J
Julianne Burlingame

Absolute crazy. I went through the drive through and was asked to pull forward they would bring my food right now. Ok, no problem. I then waited 20 minutes if not more before I got out to go in and ask if they could just refund me because my break was over and I could no longer wait. My food was ready by time I went in and they gave me bag. I get in my everything is ice cold except for the French fries. They gave cold chicken littles meanwhile I ordered a chicken sandwich. So I called the store where the lady who picks up tells me there is nothing she can do and that I have to call back in an hour when the manager was on. EXTREMELY rude the attitude she gave me as if I was wrong for being disgruntled about this whole situation. I asked who I was speaking with and the response was “not a manager” I said ok but maam can I have your name she said “you don’t need to know my name” and hung the phone up. I will never go to this place again. Crazy service. Like we aren’t spending our money. Take your business somewhere they are atleast half respectful.

Food always tastes good however, the service is all over the place. Last two times I ordered I had to repeat my order to three different people, because they kept switching places and talking over each other thru the speaker. Most recent and last time Im coming to this location. I got switch around again between employees while ordering and then after giving my full order they told me “never mind you need to get out and come inside” like what?! What was the issue?! I had a newborn sleeping in the car. Completely unprofessional from the start.

I showed up to the drive-thru at 9:30pm on a Sunday. They're advertised to close at 11. The seating area was empty, and I was the only customer. They told me it would be a 30 minute wait for chicken. There have been other times where the service was either rude or just blunt, but at least I got my food so I never cared, but this finally verifies why I never see anybody else there when I went. I'm surprised they aren't closed. Go to the Popeyes half a mile up the street. The service is faster and nicer at the very least.

- 0 but I had to at least give it one star, unfortunately but also are you kidding me? You served RAW CHICKEN! My kids ate it, I ate it, and I'm still fuming about it. Do you have any idea how reckless and irresponsible that is? I'm calling the health department first thing tomorrow and I'm going to make sure you guys are shut down for good. Unbelievable.

Everytime I come here the food takes way too long to come out. I waited 35 mins for a famous bowl. Wasted The entirety of my 30 mins lunch from work. The people that work here have no hustle or motivation or consideration for that matter.

My husband is handicapped muscular dystrophy drives with handbrakes he went through the drive-thru and was told that he had to come into the store he told them that he was handicapped he also has the handicap plaque in the window and he was told that he needed to come into the store he had to leave I am livid. I tried calling the store several times to speak to a manager and you cannot get through on the phone.

Cars were waiting a long time in the drive through until someone got out of their car and knocked on the window. An employee said they were not taking orders from the drive through, however there was no sign or any indication of this causing customers to wait an eternity just to not be able to place their orders. After this I still gave them a chance and walked inside to place my order. All the customers were sitting waiting for food. I waited to order 10+ minutes, with no one infront of me. I finally asked a worker if they were accepting orders. She responded with an attitude "you will have to give us a minute". I already gave them 30 minutes of my time. I just walked out and saw that there were still cars waiting at the drive though to not have their orders taken because there was still no indication it was closed. Save yourself the trouble and just go to Wendy's across the street. They took my order and made my food, in less than 5 minutes I was driving away. Horrible horrible location to go along with horrible employees.

The staff at this location is horrendous. I have tried to pick up food here multiple times as an Uber Eats driver. It is the restaurant’s job to update the app when they run out of an item, so a person cannot order it. One time I got there and the said they are out of chicken. I had two orders to pick up there the other day. I drove 20 minutes to get there and when I did they told me they don’t have any of the items so I have to cancel both orders. I wasted my time and gas money and the customer also did not receive what they ordered. This happens a lot within an hour of closing time which makes me think they have the food but just say this to avoid having to cook it. I will never accept a trip to there again on the app. The place is also filthy so I wouldn’t trust eating anything from here.

Terrible service, with very little empathy for customers. I have never been treated so badly—so dismissively and unpleasantly—at a KFC.

Let me start out this review by saying we actually haven’t ate here in over 8 months. Because the last time, it was horrible service and horrible food. Today we decided to give it another try it was already late. We went there around 8:30pm, they don’t close until 10:30pm. We asked for a family meal and the lady on the intercom comes back and says they only have 4 pieces of chicken. I said it’s only 8:30pm and she repeats herself, we only have 4 pieces of chicken left. No offer of making more. Nothing. So I thanked them and left. How this location is still open is surprising! You would think around the holidays they would want to make sure they had enough food. Especially for the late shoppers. Plus the cost of the food is astronomical! It would’ve been a $60 meal! Needless to say we won’t be going back here again!

The staff always seems like they are sleeping and don't wanna be there. The drive through works only when they choose to. You would drive up & be waiting for a response, either in have to go in or drive away. Poor customer service or service with an attitude most times.

Idk how this place is even open. They need to either clear house and start fresh or just put a chic fil a in the spot. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I placed an order online for a breast and Wing combo. Ended up getting a leg and thigh combo which basically means I paid over $20 to eat a biscuit and mashed potatoes doordash only offered me a refund of $3.61 for an order that was completely wrong and when I called this restaurant no one picks up the phone and then asked me to put in a code. So basically I got screwed out of my money and didn't get the food that I ordered

I recently moved here, tried this kfc twice. Once an hour before closing, I placed an order through the app, it said it was ready for pick up, when I got there, the guy on the mic in the drive through said they’re sold out. They’re out of chicken and they closed. The 2nd time, I placed an order, the app said it was ready, I got there 10 minutes after it said it was ready, and I’m still waiting for it as I write this review… customer service here is awful, employees don’t seem to care at all about the customers or their own jobs for that matter.

Had to ask employee who was making our order to remake it and wear gloves while doing so, seems to be issue amongst the staff and I will not go to that location again appeared dirty and that I had to ask staff member to wait gloves only reinforces my opinion of seeming dirty and unsanitary will report to DOH

Everything disgusting. Roaches living inside of the landline phone. They don’t delete anybody’s IDs or Social security cards off the computer that has NO password. It really smells like straight booboo if you walk in far enough. They smoke cigarettes barely out of the back door. Attitudes nasty, food nastier. May be the other way around tbh. Either way. I don’t understand how they’re still up and running tbh.

Can I give this 0 stars? Many employees are rude. Place is a little dirty, and I can't count the number of times I would go in to get a breast or thigh and be told they have no more for (20? 30? 40?) minutes. BEFORE 8 pm. Despite that, I kept going back, hooked on Colonel's spices. What finally got me to give it up is that this store would automatically round up your bill to an even amount, and give that to the KFC charity without asking. This happened several times on drive through (a 9.15 bill got rounded up to $10, which was the first time this happened and I didn't notice until getting home), and the workers faked not knowing what happened. Then one time, I went inside, and the same thing happened, and the girl refused to give me back my money until I raised enough of a complaint (5+ minutes later) saying she couldn't go back in the drawer again, and why am I complaining about 50 cents? More like, why are you automatically charging me 50cents extra without asking me? I complained twice to national. The second time, I included my email and phone number, checked the part that said I would like to have someone contact me and included in the comments that I would like someone to get back to me. No one did, so I've stopped going to KFC, but especially this one. I've eaten before at the KFC on 376 in Hopewell, and it is much cleaner, friendlier, and didn't have the auto-roundup. But, thanks to the shady operations of Poughkeepsie KFC and lack of concern from national, I won't be going to any of them.

Arrived to the drive up around 7PM. Nobody else in line. Placed my 2 piece drum & a thigh please. Sorry, we have no legs. Ok, 2 thighs then. Does it come with a biscuit? Sorry, no biscuits for 12 minutes. Ok, I’ll pull aside & wait the 12 minutes. Watched the clock, gave them 13 minutes drove back to drive up. Sorry, you have to come inside. 😳 Save yourself some grief, there’s a Popeyes right around the corner & their chicken is great & service is respectable.

That was my first and last KFC I could not believe it. The oil was old and tasted bad . The chicken tasted horrible. I wasted over $40 on 16 pieces. However, customer service was excellent, and the service was great and quick. I am sorry to say it, I will never have KFC in my life.

An overstressed staff doing the best with what they have. My one star rating is because I just heard the manager tell someone their order would take 25 minutes and when the woman said she would wait another manager who was out back smoking weed yelled “!!!KCUF” about as loud as humanly possible. I also don’t like how on a Sunday they are open until 10pm but at 9pm they’re virtually clocked out and out back smoking with the door wide open out back for bugs to enter and exit as they wish. I type this as I wait for a very simple order which doesn’t even see them do anything other than grab a cup and fries yet it’s been 10 minutes so I decided to save the next person. I wish this place would fire its entire staff because these people don’t want to REALLY work, I mean the cross eyed manager has been there for a decade, bro should be in corporate yet he’s still here being average or less consistently. I want better for him and I don’t even know him other than his name is sincere or something to that effect? For a company who has fallen from grace the way KFC has this is inexcusable and the employees are easily frustrated and show it to customers by yelling and being rude. It seems like they purposely make you wait forever for your orders here to basically discourage people from coming. I don’t think the staff realizes most employees don’t want lazy employees but hey maybe if all else fails they can trade their jerseys in for a new one at McDonald’s on Main Street which is an equally garbage place food wise but the workers at least try to pretend to not be jerks. Another 5 minutes has elapsed & at this point I will make it my goal to reach out to someone in corporate because this place is a mess and embarrassing to the colonels legacy of decent fast food and I saw that as a tongue in cheek joke of sorts but NOT REALLY.

No words. I have gotten sick here more than 2 times and I see why. Thanks to a close friend they showed me why I kept getting sick. Just said. Every think twice before going there.

On 10/11/21 at approximately 8:00pm, I ordered their 6-piece Honey BBQ wings and waited 7 minutes for my food. The wings tasted like microwaved Tyson prison wings. It was old, soggy, and generally inedible. I was assured a refund when I called. When I drove 10 minutes back to KFC to return this order, the manager was rude! In a hostile demeanor, she asked what is wrong with my order. I explained how distasteful the wings were and in an accusatory tone, she told me this is as fresh as their wings get and theres no way it should taste stale. She then closed the window and prepared to process my refund. She was unapologetic and did not offer an accommodation. I would not recommend this location due to the food and manager being nasty! Please refer to the lovely picture.
