Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often describe orders that arrive wrong or below standard. Several report mix-ups: a boneless banquet containing bone, a flaming wrap missing its sauce and cheese, and a bag holding a cheaper set than the one ordered, which was exchanged for the full set without trouble. Others say orders were incorrect at first but staff fixed both once it was pointed out. Food temperature and freshness come up repeatedly, with cold, squashed chips, dry chicken and a meal that wasn't particularly hot or fresh after a fairly long wait. One reviewer found a rice bowl mostly greens with little rice and poor value, and another payment made at the machine had to be repeated at the counter. On the positive side, one diner called the meal piping hot with good service and plenty of parking, and another found the server friendly. The cherry Pepsi was the one item a disappointed regular enjoyed, after chicken that was dry throughout.

    “I bought a meal the other day, and paid via the machine. I waited and the food didn’t come out. Checked with the counter and they said that my payment didn’t go through and that I had to pay for it again, but it went through my card as …”

    “Gave me food poisoning. Ordered a boneless banquet. The chicken was cold and tasted like cardboard, the chips were nothing short of soggy and cold, and the gravy was as liquid as my stool after eating here. Apart from that the service was good lol”

    “I feel obliged to share my experience today at KFC services in Exeter. I am a long distance, lorry driver that started work early. This morning and was very much looking forward to enjoying a good meal at KFC on my break on the way back to the depot. Unfortunately, it was the worst experience Of eating KFC in my entire life, I have been a regular enjoyer of KFC for over 3 decades. In fact, a close friend of mine had recommended i try some items that I had not tried before. He had shown me photographs from having at a different k f c yesterday, and he explained how the chicken was, how I normally experienced it flavourful and juicy and not too dry. And the items he mentioned included sauce, such as the superscharge Spicy sauce. To shock and disappointment, I found it was dry. The chicken I had in all of the items I ordered was very dry aswell. There was no sauce or cheese in the flaming wrap. That's what i ordered, which is very strange. Because the same item at a different k f c in ross on y has the sauce in it and has chicken that is hot and juicy and wonderful. I don't know why Exeter services at KFC don't uphold the standards that was the way of colonel Sanders. If Colonel Sanders was aware of what they are Serving up there in his name i can only imagine. He would be rolling around in his grave. There are cheap copy operators that try to operate like kfc and they are usually disappointing when I try them, sadly, this operation at k f c exeter services is not even as good as the cheap copy places. What I experienced today was the worst k f c I have had in my entire life For the last thirty years, I have been enjoying kfc. I am very disappointed at my experience today. And the very low quality of food that did not even have the writing contents in the wrap that I ordered. The only item that was nice was the cherry Pepsi that got rid of the horrible dry taste from the chicken.”
