Customer Review Summary
Slow service is the thread running through most reviews, at the counter, the drive-through and on delivery. One reviewer waited for a Zinger meal and found delivery through Deliveroo even slower, while others describe sitting in the car park after being told to park up, with a promised short wait stretching well past that. One says a wrap came made with leftover strips after a long wait, and another received a fries portion they called pathetic. Orders also went wrong: one customer got the wrong order from an empty restaurant, and another reports dry chicken with a rock-hard coating in a party bucket. Staff are described as uninterested, arrogant or unable to explain available sides, and one reviewer calls the dining area a state. A few reviews are positive, with fresh, piping hot food on two visits, friendly staff and clean tables. One notes the car park has a 60 minute maximum stay, and another finds it handy for walking to the metro station.

“Ordered food at drive through and told to park up and wait. I waited 20 minutes. Food came out no apologies or anything. Seriously bad service I’m going to skip this location going forward. They are never busy but always make you wait. Why????”
- Amanda-Jane Wileman
“Hot food was nice as well, and friendly staff, clean place and tables was clean as well”

“Twice we’ve been to this KFC in Heworth over the past few months and both times the food has been fresh and piping hot. I thought the first time was just luck but after today it proves they’ve got it spot on here! Definitely the best KFC in the area!”
- Lewis Kennedy
“don’t know what’s going on at KFC Felling, but I’m convinced they’re raising the chickens from birth before serving them. In person? Slow. Like, “watch your life flash before your eyes while waiting for a Zinger meal” slow. You start off hungry and leave questioning your entire existence. Thought I’d be clever and order on Deliveroo instead—big mistake. Somehow it’s even slower. We actually contacted the driver, and even he was frustrated. When your delivery driver is emotionally invested in the delay, you know things have gone very wrong. At this point, I’ve stopped ordering altogether. It is genuinely quicker for me to go out, source a chicken, raise it with love and care, humanely kill it, bread it, season it, and cook it… all before they’ve even glanced at my order. Food’s decent when it finally arrives, but by then you’ve aged about three years and lost the will to eat. 0/10 for speed. 10/10 for teaching patience.”

“I waited almost 1 hour, after an hour they made my food in a hurry.. I asked for a wrap and they made me one with leftover strips almost like there was none at all. Black potatoes from the oil.. and the staff was weak and arrogant”
