Kfc
Description
This Washington, MO KFC is marred by slow, unreliable service and order mishandling—long drive‑thru waits, closed lobbies at pickup times, and inconsistent online orders. Food quality is hit-or-miss: greasy or dry chicken left under warmers, lukewarm mains and cold sides, with at least one reported illness and lingering sanitation concerns. Add poor air conditioning and a tired, unclean interior, and it’s clear improvements in hygiene, temperature control and customer service are needed—especially given few local fried‑chicken alternatives.

We waited more than 29 minutes in the drive-thru, only to be informed that they couldn’t find our order and that it would take another 17 minutes. With just one car in front of us, we ultimately decided to leave without getting any food.
I've never had a good experience at this KFC. They’ve had several owners over time, but the service remains consistently poor—it feels like the place is cursed. I tried ordering a bunch of chicken tenders online, and the app directed me to pick up my order inside, but the doors were locked. When I went through the drive-thru, they told me they don’t handle online orders, even though they were clearly aware of mine. They couldn’t provide any information about whether my Google Pay transaction went through, and to make matters worse, they were closing earlier than their posted hours and couldn’t assist me.
The air conditioning was not working well, making the restaurant uncomfortably warm. It definitely needs a deep cleaning, and a more welcoming atmosphere would be a plus. The food itself was fairly ordinary.
This was my first time visiting the KFC in Washington, MO. Despite hearing about past sanitation problems and shutdowns, I was craving fried chicken and mashed potatoes. Unfortunately, my experience matched the negative reviews—this location truly lives up to its bad reputation. It's a shame that Washington, MO doesn't have other fast food fried chicken options like Church's or Popeye's, which likely helps this place stay open despite its many issues.
