There was no clear signage indicating the hours of operation or that only the drive-thru was open. As a result, we had to look for another place to eat because we didn't want to have fried chicken in the car. It would have been very helpful if they had placed a large enough sign on the door to inform customers that they were only offering drive-thru service, instead of making us park and walk to the locked door only to find out the hard way. They should work on improving this in the future.

Given that KFC stands for Kentucky Fried Chicken, it's not surprising that the chicken is fried in oil, which naturally means it can be a bit greasy. That's simply to be expected. Regarding the prices, there's a price list available when you order, so you know what to anticipate. Now, moving on to the food—I tried the chicken tender strips, which were actually not greasy and had a great flavor. The barbecue sauce was excellent, although the fries were slightly soggy, they were still decent. The mashed potatoes were served hot, and the gravy was tasty, although the potatoes had a hint of dish soap flavor. Overall, the food was quite good. I also ordered extra biscuits, which are always a treat, and even though I didn't receive any honey, the butter was satisfying enough.

The food was superb, and the service was exceptional; however, the prices were somewhat steep. read more The food was superb, and the service was exceptional; however, the prices were somewhat steep.
