About KFC Birmingham - Selly Oak

Orders go through a self-service kiosk, and customers collect their food at the counter, because table service has been removed at this branch.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers mostly fault the chicken, calling it dry, salty, not crispy and not fresh. One describes a pickle burger with dry chicken and only four pickle slices, and another received burnt, cold, greasy wings. Limp fries tasting of cardboard, undersized popcorn chicken and soft frickles also draw complaints, while one reviewer calls the coleslaw the tastiest item. Close behind are service problems. Several describe staff with poor attitudes, a counter that had run out of popcorn chicken, and no table numbers for table service. One reviewer reports a manager shouting and scrolling on a phone after a wrong order was raised. Toilets are criticised for missing soap and toilet paper, and one reviewer reports water leaking across the floor as a slipping hazard. Missing items recur, including a drink, large fries and a portion of wings, with one reviewer told the order screen showed no such item. That reviewer advises keeping the receipt, which got the missing fries rectified immediately.

“Visited at around 5pm and honestly wasn’t impressed. We ordered food for four people and were only given one tray, even after asking for another. It made carrying everything back to the table unnecessarily awkward as well as staff not being nice to people. I was also surprised to find that table service has been removed at this branch, so everyone has to stand around waiting for their order instead of having it brought over. The toilets were in a poor state too. There was no toilet paper or soap, and the whole bathroom looked like it hadn’t been checked or restocked in a while. The food was alright, but it was much saltier than expected and the chicken wasn’t particularly crispy. It tasted fine, just not what I’d normally expect from KFC. Overall, the experience felt quite disappointing. The food was decent enough, but the lack of basic hygiene and customer service let the place down.”

“I came here few days ago with my friends and I had a horrible experience. My order was wrong and when asked for the manager the woman with hijab on told me she is the manager and refused to help me out. All i wanted was for my food to be fixed and she started shouting and arguing with me and my friends. Didnt even want to fix the problem and then turned around and said “she doesn’t have time for this” after which she pulled out her phone and started scrolling on tiktok. I am so shocked this actually happened. What an awful place and for a manger to act like this is absolutely disgusting. Will definitely not be coming back after this, such a waste of money! AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!!!!”

“Always keep hold of your receipt as this branch consistently misses items from orders. Last week I mentioned a missing drink, but after a quick glance at the screen I was told I hadn’t ordered one. Unfortunately, I didn’t have my receipt to prove it. Today my large fries were missing. When I raised it at the till, I was again told I hadn’t ordered them after another quick glance at the screen. Luckily this time I had kept my receipt and the issue was rectified immediately. While seated, we also overheard another customer complaining about a missing portion of wings. This seems to be a recurring issue that management should address.”

“The food was standard KFC which was nice but nothing too shout out about. The service was shocking 😅 I used the self service kiosk and at the end when asked if I want it brought to my table or served at the counter I opted for table service. The display states to collect a number display to place on your table so the staff can identify you when your food is ready. I asked for a number and they said they didnt have any, not as in theyre all out as in they simply dont do them. I asked why amd the facial response I recieved made me feel like the crazy one 😅. I waiting g approx 10 mins for the food which was fine however whilst waiting for my food other customers were greeted with poor attitudes from the staff.”
