KFC Inverell: A Greasy Gamble Where the Chicken’s Hot but the Hygiene’s Not Stepping into KFC Inverell is like signing up for an extreme sport—only instead of skydiving, you’re dodging sticky floors and questionable smells. The vibe? Think “post-apocalyptic diner” meets “grease explosion.” If the food doesn’t send you sprinting to the nearest bathroom, the cleanliness—or lack thereof—might just finish the job. Ordered the Zinger Burger, hoping for that spicy kick to distract from the chaos. The burger was decent, crispy enough to make you forget the world… until you notice the table’s sporting a Jackson Pollock masterpiece of old ketchup and mystery sauce. Fries? Hot, salty, and probably the safest bet, unless you count the rogue napkin stuck to the tray like it’s auditioning for The Blob. The chicken bucket? Bold flavors, but I’m pretty sure I saw a drumstick wink at me from a puddle of ancient grease on the counter. Staff were friendly, bless their souls, hustling like they’re in a losing battle against entropy. But the place itself? It’s like someone declared war on soap and lost. The bathroom’s a biohazard zone—bring your own hazmat suit. I half-expected a cockroach to hand me a towel and ask for a tip. Look, if you’re starving in Inverell and craving that KFC comfort, you’ll probably survive the food. It’s tasty enough to make you forgive (or at least forget) the grime for a few bites. But maybe pack some hand sanitizer, a Wet Wipe, and a prayer. 3/5 stars—two for the food, one for the sheer audacity of staying open. Eat at your own risk, and maybe don’t...
Read moreDisgusting customer service and disgusting store.
Food smeared on the walls, under the tables, rubbish and food down the side of the dinning chairs. I asked a staff member of they could come wipe some tables down, she came out ran the wipe over the table then went back. We still used our napkins to clean the tables after.
We ordered zinger boxes, when we took them back to the counter because the burgers were cold and soggy. The "manager" tried to tell us that's how zinger fillets are supposed to be.. they refused to revolve the issue to start then after arguing about the quality of the food got a refund and went elsewhere.
Complained online, received a call from the so called "manager" who again was defensive from the start telling me zingers aren't meant to be crispy and the store was too busy to clean and the store would be renovated soon so wasn't a priority...
I again referred them to the photos that we took showing food on the floor, dirty tables and the smeared food on the walls. And the fact I have never received a cold soggy zinger fillet in my life 🙃 It shouldn't matter if they were closing for renovations the next day, the store still needed to be clean as they are serving food. The phone call did not resolve the issue, if anything how the manager spoke to me has resulted in never attending Inverell...
Read moreReview for KFC Inverell
Once again, I’m left disappointed with KFC Inverell. I ordered a large chips, and as usual, it was barely half full. This seems to be a recurring issue—why does this keep happening? Who is training these staff members?
To make matters worse, I overheard a manager speaking to a team member, saying, “All you did was sit on your arse.” That’s completely unprofessional, especially in front of customers. On top of that, I noticed staff walking around with AirPods in, which is not a good look when there are customers nearby.
The food is consistently underwhelming. I’m not expecting a five-star meal, but I do expect something decent. Sadly, even that seems too much to ask.
I don’t blame the individual staff—this feels like the result of nearly a decade of poor training and leadership. There seems to be no guidance on how to treat customers or even each other. You don’t have to love your job, but while you’re there, basic respect should be the minimum.
It’s frustrating to see the same issues again and again with no...
