Customer Review Summary
Chicken is the draw, with reviewers calling the original recipe still great and describing the chicken as hot, tasty, crispy and freshly made, alongside corn cobs, fries and coleslaw. One reviewer says the drive-through is faster, and another calls the spicy wings tiny. Several praise a helpful, friendly team, with one mentioning a staff member who made sure an order was correct. Reliability divides opinion sharply. A few report waits even on pre-ordered food, with delivery drivers queuing, and one says portions have shrunk since 2020. One reviewer describes an Uber Eats order arriving cold and stale with brown lettuce, and says the drinks contained ingredients they are allergic to, with a supervisor on the phone dismissing the complaint. Another reports pink, raw chicken discovered at home. One reviewer says a staff member touched their nose and then handled their food, and that the replacement request seemed unmet. Another walked out after being told the counter does not take orders and the kiosks must be used. One diner ordered the pickle burger and found three pickles.

“Update July 2026: can be hit and miss. Seldom fast food, most times there's a wait even if pre-ordered or maybe due to the queue of delivery drivers. Top tip, check you have the right order before leaving and nothing is leaking like gravey ! Like most other KFC, hot tasty chicken. Newish building easy access. Best to go when there's no delivery drivers waiting! Seems shrink-flation has taken hold since 2020 £10 doesn't get you much these days”

“I had a great experience at KFC thanks to Logan. He was friendly, welcoming, and provided excellent customer service. He was patient, efficient, and made sure my order was correct. It’s clear he cares about customers, and his positive attitude made my visit even better. Thank you, Logan—keep up the great work!”

“Absolutely in shock Tried to order my meal couldn’t find it on the stupid kiosks so went to the counter to be told they don’t take orders there. Stupid in my opinion. They wanted me to use the kiosks but as I’ve tried I thought what’s the point. So walked out Never will I ever spend any more money in kfc Staff didn’t care or even see the stupidity Just told to use kiosk Avoid at all costs”

“I witnessed a member of staff touching their nose and then handling my food without washing their hands. When I politely asked for my food to be changed, I don't believe it was. I also believe they did not wash their hands after I pointed it out. The staff member just grinned and laughed, which I found very unhygienic and unprofessional. I am very unhappy with this experience and will not be returning to the Coal Road location in Leeds.”
