Reviews of KFC Eastgate

a.

Went through drive through ordered 2 snack boxs from here one with popcorn chicken and one with wicked wings. Mine was delicious not to much salt and I had fresh chips and popcorn chicken. My brother only had 2 wicked wings in his but in the past at other KFC he received 3. Overall it was fresh and the flavour was not over powering. Waiting wasnt long so yes I would definitely come back here again

C.

Good staff and freshly fried chicken. So far so good. Shirley store needs progress though they always miss an item from your drive thru order. But Eastgate are pretty good.

C.

Tried the sliders..I would have loved them if they put the right sauce on them wanted sweet and sour .got one like a curry sauce which was very hot

B.

Busy drive through but did get through reasonably quickly. However missed an item from our order. Made an online complaint and they have sorted it out.

D.

Chicken and chips were very salty You guys need to taste your food

C.

Typical fast food. Good for a quick bite. Not too busy when we came in. Fast service and friendly staff. Tables were a bit greasy and messy so gave it a quick clean myself

B.

It would be nicer if you didn't have to go back in to ask for the items they keep forgetting.

G.

Very slow drive thru service...as only KFC can be... Super overly pedantic covid precautions...more so than any other takeaway.... Food was ok...not good...just ok...but at least it was hot...very.

W.

Way better than Shirley KFC, they actually have chicken here and get your order right

N.

Apart from the long wait due to staffing issues it was good helpful staff

R.

Wicked wings cravings for Prego mama was not good but not bad either, unless she got wat the baby is asking for

D.

Best feed I have had from a KFC branch in along time . Thanks for serving it up on Christmas day 2021

S.

Always great service at this KFC compared to others I've been too. Never have they mixed up an order nor forgotten a side for me. Definitely a go to KFC for me. Keep up all your good work team.

J.

Always super quick, hot chicken too

a.

Average ...even for a KFC Restaurant. Not particularly clean...and why are all KFC floors sticky.. ?? ...So Meh... The one in Riccarton and even Hornby are of a better calibre.

R.

Very bad drivethrough will be impossible to get service after taco bell opens lots of parking but access is almost always obstructed

L.

You get your fast workers and slow ones those ones I don't like to catch I've noticed they a lot of new learner's some don't last long working there 🤔

R.

Surprisingly good this time. Awesome

K.

Average at best. Purchased meal incorrect again. Unlikely to revisit

M.

Food was more enjoyable compared to other visits.

A.

This place can get quite busy during the week. However you are not waiting too long inside or in the drive thru. Staff are lovely. Never had a bad batch.

M.

Staffs at the driver thru are fast and friendly. Great service. Keep it up!!

P.

Not too busy compared to next door. Chicken was good. Friendly staff. Clean and tidy place. Lots of car parking. Easy access

T.

Fast service and food always nice and hot. Friendly staff also

J.

The quality of food is okay. They pass it out fast however, be sure to check your bag tho as they may forget items 🤦‍♂️

R.

No wait and the staff member was friendly. The food was nice and hot. One star off because the floor and some tables were a mess. Suggestion - have hand sanitizer out for customers to use.

J.

Decent service. Hit or miss with taking your orders. Always check your take away bags. Bread rolls and chips may be forgotten.

V.

Most of the staff never smile at the customer . Ordered heaps of time from drive thru sometimes food taste awesome n sometime tasted like its been cooked some time ago n left in the warmer. Anyways it all Depends on your luck and mood of the person packing 🤔

C.

It was okish but it's better than Sydenham and not as good as papanui rd one

M.

We ordered 3 twisters 1 with no onion and 2 snuck box with oreo crushers. We received our order within 10 minutes. The service is fast the trainee staff was good as she repeated my order to me 3 times just to make sure she got the order right. We were happy with our food and the service.

O.

In general its not bad, just tables and seats clean not enough. We was at KFC at 7pm. How i understand its the most busiest time but just one order was working and line was so long... Food was good and tasty!!!

C.

Good fast service. Lovely staff

J.

It’s okay. My only problem is that even when they’re busy and the dinner rush hits they don’t put their resources into serving their customers. I went in last night and they had a massive line of people in the drive through and a long line inside. I stood in line for 15 minutes and left because they had only one till open and one person taking orders. Ridiculous really. You have two tills but don’t open both to take the orders of all the people who actually got off their arse and came inside. There was at least 9 people in front of me and at least 4 people waiting for their orders. Slow service and incompetent service when it’s busy. They don’t know how to handle high volumes of foot traffic. But if it’s slow? You’re all good. Foods usually good but my one piece of advice? Check your chips. Most of the time they are unsalted and bland. Even if you ask for extra seasoning on your chips 6 out of 10 times they don’t put it on. Always check your order

K.

Not occasionally, not every so often, but most times I've ordered, they either don't get the order right,(but charge for the full order) ,or they leave things out of the order you've paid for.. Advertising a free key ring on their board but don't have any in your order..no telling you first when u order the meal..you ask after you discover you don't have it..when you ask where it is you get attitude and told they don't have any?? Yet still advertising it on their board with a certain meal.. Food is yummy apart from all that..

A.

Very fast service, supervisor was definitely one of the best, fast, accurate, and all staff friendly. Overall the environment of the store was busy but not in a stressed out hurry up way. Had a positive vibe in general.

M.

I was the only person in d queue it was 10.06am but I was still made to park in d disable spot and waited for 3m 48s until they gave me my order. Really????

k.

Chicken tastes good but contains lot of oil, I have been eating in different KFC but this one always have a lot of soaked up oil. Wait time is a pain here. Needs to improve their timing and cooking.

D.

Ugh, always gets the drive through order wrong and the Chicken sizes are too small. Still, the Zinger Burger is the best of any fast food outlet. That alone is worth 4 stars.

R.

Come to this store. Service has improved and the service was fast! my meal was still hot when I had my meal. Passpost: The staff give me a median size chicken and a small size chicken.

E.

Food was well handled

B.

Everytime we come through drive thru we have a lovely older lady Serve us, she is fantastic and give amazing customer service, so thanks for that. The food we get is generally pretty good, so yay! Cheers

R.

Best feed of kfc I ha e had for years. Only complaint was they did not accept membership voucher

t.

Surprisingly it was good. The chips was well seasoned and the service was quick but the drive through can be a little tight for a van going around the corner.

b.

Sorry to say I was a little disappointed because the chicken was not crispy or the usual golden brown. I think it was because they were run off there feet with three options now. Drive through, dine in and Ube eats. They will have to figure out how much they need to cope with all three now. Wish you all the best and I am sure you will figure it out.

C.

70/75% of the time orders are wrong or they use more wings than they should with their piece combinations. Often the chicken has cooking defects where the breading is not cooked properly or the flour was not applied to the chicken properly.

P.

Great very fast service. Food was out before I got my purse back in my bag. Food real nice, not over oily. Nice fresh tender and juicy. Very nice staff

R.

It was drive through. No problems at all😊😊

O.

Best KFC I've tasted.....everything was fresh and it was hot. Great staff too

S.

Was actually pretty fast and efficient today. Friendly staff who served us. Food was correct, fresh and hot and overall was really good!

P.

As always, yummy food. However, it appeared the 'left hand didnt know what the right hand was doing'. I came into put in my order & the young woman parcelling up someone else order looked at me & it appeared she didnt know what to say to me, so said nothing. Mmmm, maybe, "Hi Ill be right with you" would have been great. Instead a guy whom turned out to be a cook asked me if I was being servdd. I said no, hoping he would serve me. He went back & got someone to come out & serve md instead. By this time the young woman whose order she had finished come to serve me alongside the other woman from the back. From the mixed messages it would suggest there wasnt a manager at hand. Maybe some customer service training would be helpful.

P.

My visit this time was a little slow but the two people that served me were very polite and well spoken. I will be back.😎😎

D.

That slippery wet moist chicken slipped down my throat leaving me gasping for air. I haven't had that feeling since being with my uncle many years ago. Thanks for the memories 😁

R.

Chicken was dry, everything else was fine, restaurant doesn't seem overly clean

S.

Good friendly helpful service as to finding a sufficient price to suite our family, clean environment, well cooked hot fresh food,a happy family of five

D.

Loving the spicy wings at the moment.

C.

Chicken was good. Usually pretty poor table cleaning. Quick inside service. Average service. Park on Linwood road out front for quick access 😎👍👍👍

A.

Great customer service and considering how busy they get the food is always great.

t.

Didn't wait too long in drive threw, lady that took my order was lovely and fast go to pick up window waiting for my food next server was bluntly rude overall food was good chicken wasn't dry

M.

The food is usually pretty good. Drive thru can be a bit slow at peak times. The chips are usually excellent with plenty of seasoning.

J.

Yummo hot and spicy gimme 5, such a good deal! We waited for the chicken to cook, was so worth it fresh and juicy! Great friendly staff 😁

J.

Food pretty good most the time but the night staff normal are pretty rude

M.

Received polite and informative service from the staff. Hadn't enjoyed delicious KFC for over 30 months. Will be back again well before that period elapses again

K.

You guys need to sort your alarm out....

E.

Finger lickin' good, sometimes it is very hit and miss on the quality of the food though and the staff don't tend to smile or be friendly however last two times I've visited it's been great. Keep it up.

A.

The staffs are efficient and the food are yummy at a very reasonable price

L.

Staff was very helpful and was able to substitute for items I didn't want like I did not want drinks etc swapped for something else

D.

I was one of 2 people waiting at the counter. Yet it seems like it took forever to have my order taken and then to receive my order. Today I had just ordered a snack box, but it still took over 10mins to come out

M.

Great sliders! The aioli and the bbq sliders are amazing! Would go back just for them

R.

Probably, I feel to be one of the best fast food outlets.

N.

Fresh hot chips - they gave me lots of extra seasoning when I asked, nice fresh burger but the staff lacked friendliness. They were very blunt

L.

Service can sometimes be overworked and they need more staff otherwise food is amazing at a semi reasonable price..

T.

Finally have dropped their unwillingness to change sides or upsize items on the coupons and are following the requests better, may end up going to this store only if this continues

A.

Be prepared for unnecessarily long waits, rude incompetent staff and more wrong then right orders. However if you miraculously strike a good day they are great

S.

Service can be slack & the often muck up orders so pays to check before you leave, foods pretty standard for KFC

c.

Had very good service from the lady taking the orders she was down to earth the time waiting for food took awhile she was able to leviate the tenision building up waiting for the meal food was finger licking good

3.

Good service threw the drive threw even though the eftpos down they managed to rectify the problem fast really impressed

They will either forget to put a piece in or give a tiny one instead of a normal size, which is rather annoying, if I pay for a bucket of 8 pieces I want 8, not 7 or 7.5
