P. O. (.

More often than not my zinger burger meat is quite dry but it's KFC and i can't resist not going unfortunately.

C. O.

I'm not going to drop the 5 stars because one bad drive through because these guys are usually on point. But running out of almost everything two nights ago was slack. I'm sure it was a one time thing.

D. W.

Plenty of parking. Ordered the $10.50 box and 3 peice pack. I could not finish my meal as was very generous and delicious and not overly greasy. Would buy the $10.50 box again. Did not sit in the restaurant choosing takeaway option.

J.

Good service but found a piece of bone in the middle of chicken popcorn.. lucky i was not 3year old...

S. D.

Excellent customer service, and our meal was super hot and fresh :)

C. B.

Fast and friendly service with no errors. Easy meal for me and my brothers.

M. C.

Service was pretty slow. It was 6.45pm, the night before Waitangi Day and there were about 12 people waiting for food or to be served or to give their orders. Not sure why it took 20mins to get some Kai - wicked wings, smoothies and a burger. Maybe they'd just had a busy period, maybe one of their staff was on their break or hadn't turned up to work for whatever reason..... The toilet I used looked like it needed a clean. There was toilet paper on the wet floor and the floor looked like it could do with a good scrub. Some of the tables needed a wipe with a clean cloth - not one that had wiped six tables already. There are some outside tables to enjoy the last of the evening sun. I would have to be really hungry to get off SH1 for a feed of KFC here in Paraparaumu

G.

chicken was raw gave me food poisoning and am now in hospital with cancer but it still was finger licking good

K.

I bit slow some times but other than that it is good

Z. B.

Check your food in the carpark before you drive away, haven't had a single time without something missing :( i just want my wicked wings man

B. B.

Order Number 9319 18th March 17.22 I was greeted at the drive thru from one of the most energetic voices I have ever heard at a drive thru. The order was taken quick and precise and the greeting at the window was just as good. What a super star! The food also matched the service, hot and what you always hope a sneaky afternoon meal from kfc should be. I have noted the order number and time because I feel you should be sure to thank your team from a very happy customer. Thanks.

H.

A 4 star because i asked for excessive seasoning on the chips and got it ! Brilliant. Most times at other KFC stores i ask for extra and get none or barely any. The reason i didnt go 5 star was i asked for a Zinger tower burger and got a normal Tower burger. Fairly quick service through drive through and they were very busy

P.

Struck a very friendly lady across the counter and couldnt fault her generous service.

M. K.

Sometimes runs out of chicken. Or burgers. Or buns. Please KFC, keep enough in stock for your hungry customers. You'd be better off having a bit too much and needing to give it away to locals in need than losing money and customers to your fast food next door neighbours. Oh, and doesn't currently do delivery. Missing a trick there.

V.

What struck me about my visit here today (21 Nov) was how small everything has become! I got the Boss meal deal thinking it was good value, but really it was not. Everything was so downsized....The chips, the drink & the chicken pieces were so small you'd sware they are catching the Seagulls that congregate in the carpark. Very small chicken pieces so I felt a bit ripped off & disappointed. The potatoe and gravy was so runny it was more like soup. But overall I gave it 4 stars because it tasted okay...but I was hungry. I reallly do wish KFC would bring back the old 1/4 pack with mashed spuds, peas, chicken & gravy.

R.

Good store and location, however they do not have self service machines instore which I find odd, especially considering they did an upgrade a few years back.

S.

It meets your expectations for a KFC. You get what you expect. The drive through is terrible though. The layout is awkward and cramped. Many cars do not realise it is a two way entry and exit because it is very narrow. Made queueing uncomfortable and stressful.

G. S.

I love KFC. The staff here are friendly, food is reliable and I love the freebies available by doing a quick survey.

J. F.

Wow this is what I call fastfood. Sky served us, happy efficient and super quick on the keys. No sooner had I finished entering my pin and half the order was packed ready to. Moved to the pick up area and there were our burgers being packed. Sky turned around giving us our order with a smile and we were out the door walking to our vehicle stunned. Everything was fresh, hot and tasty. I dont give 5 stars very often but Sky earnt those. We managed to get to the ferry terminal with 15 minutes spare up our sleeve. Now to get the South Island to learn like sky!

T. W.

Usually really good. However twice now I have asked for my chips to be drowning in seasoning and they have been given to me with barely a sprinkle. Sad days lol

B.

The service was ohk Just need a bit of detail cleaning The food was lukewarm

P. A.

KFC Paraparaumu, unfortunately, is like most other KFC outlets, in that they seem to employ the least number of staff possible. This practice means much slower service, as the front line person(s) has to stop taking orders to prepare them for the customer. Although I personally old always choose KFC over Mac's for my fast food fix, I am always disappointed by the often quite long delay!!

M. H.

I used to like KFC as a choice for fast food. But lately I have found every time I get food from our KFC in Paraparaumu the chips are soggy, the chicken coating on the pieces are soggy and full of oil not nice at all. The potato and gravy is nice and the little bun warm and fresh. The spicy chicken wings are lovely and crispy though. Drive through is fairly quick and of course slower during peak times.

T. M.

We were served by a lovely, friendly person. The restaurant was clean, and I was impressed by (and grateful for) the new addition of a hand sanitizer pump on the wall by the restroom. The only sting in the experience was the cost. For my four children and myself, it cost nearly $81 !! And that was with redeeming a coupon from the Entertainment book! I said to the kids that we could've dined at Denny's for that - which would've included a glass of wine for me!

A. O.

KFC you can't go wrong, but the chicken we had was fresh, juicy and top notch! It wasn't too busy either and our service was great from the staff!

D. B.

Place was pretty messy with people not clearing their own food trays. And a bit worrying to hear a member of staff hacking their lungs out in the back. Meal was pretty good though, and serving staff friendly.

E.

The food was alright, not the best KFC I've had but still hot and hit the spot

T. I.

Food was scrumptious, however, we had to move as it was really cold. Spring isn't summer yet, it would have been nice if there was a little warmth

R. F.

KFC Kapiti must have one of the worst service processes. They only serve 1 person at a time and go from taking the order right through to serving the food. If they don't have enough chips or chicken then they wait until the next batch is ready before completing the order and moving on to the next customer. This is OK if there is only 1 customer, but at peak time you can be waiting a very long time. The food was good though.

J. R.

Very busy, but efficient staff meant wait wasn't too long. Dinner was nice

L. B.

I think KFC needs a makeover. It hasn't changed in years and it's looking a bit rank. Paraparaumu is growing so should KFC. Other than that, the service was good, the food was KFC. If the place looked more modern I would have given 5 stars. 😊

C. W.

Poor service was the only real bad taste of the entire meal. To the trainee on the cashier though; you did well, lad

P. S.

Walk in was quicker than drive thru queue. Food was the usual fare. Very salty and fatty but that's what the people like and why I only go once a year

n. p.

Was great to have my chicken and chips hot and extra chicken session on my chips was just right not to much or too less. My son chicken Hawaiian burger was made just right and it was hot as well :)

R. V. (.

Good food but often slow in drive-thru

A. S.

Well worth the wait, 🔥 n spicy 👌 hopefully 😋back for Father's day 😉

H. M.

Food is fine. But the drive thru always misses something. Always. So, sit there, hold them up and check your order before driving off.

a. r.

Missed a burger off one of my meals, went hm and back again, but got it sorted super fast.

S. M.

Hey man it's KFC, what is there to say? Pretty hit and miss. Ask them to lay off the drumsticks or you'll get them by a the bucket-load. It's better than Porirua KFC though, which is bloody awful.

R. M.

Sometimes the quality let's you down but if you go there on a day or night when the staff take pride in what they serve up.... then it's so yummy!

S. M.

Super friendly/bubbly staff... love that!*!👍👍KFC is a treat for our family and we always receive our order hot and yummy!👌

b. w.

Food was good Service slow. Large volume of people at that time

S. S.

Well cooked. Usually a bit of a wait. Do need to check order as they do forget drinks salt on chips, which is the reason you go there. Friendly staff.

S. L.

Very slow only one on the till on a busy night. One doing the cooking and one on the drive thru. So I don't want to go back until they add more staff

E.

10/10, so tasty, so crispy and so salty. The best KFC in the country, well of the ones I have been too- and trust me that is a concerningly long list.

T. A.

Great service. Restaurant nice and clean. Friendly staff. Food very fresh. Chicken just right

A.

D.

Probabaly one of the better KFC I've been to in terms of the food you get. They need to badly get a bigger building though as its usually impossible to get a seat

H.

Great service especially since was a lunch rush. Got everything on time and cooked properly, very polite staff and friendly team.

S. M.
