Alright, settle in, you discerning gourmands and purveyors of the finer things in life, because today we're dissecting a true culinary marvel, a bastion of gastronomic indulgence nestled deep within the verdant, rolling hills of Western Sydney. I am, of course, referring to the Penrith KFC. Now, I know what some of you are thinking. "KFC? Isn't that... common?" And to that, I scoff, I chortle, I dab a tear of pure, unadulterated snobbery from my eye. Oh, you naive souls! The KFC in Penrith, you see, is not merely a fast-food establishment. It is a strategic outpost, a culinary citadel, reserved exclusively for the most discerning palates of the ultra-elite, the nouveau riche of the greater Penrith basin. Its location? Impeccable. Its ambiance? Unparalleled. Its chicken? A heart attack in waiting, a veritable oil slick of unbridled indulgence. You walk in, and immediately, you're hit with that unmistakable aroma. It's not just the scent of fried chicken, oh no. It's the fragrance of ambition, of unchecked desires, of cholesterol levels rising in elegant unison. It's the scent of pure, unadulterated fat. And let me tell you, this isn't some amateur deep-fry operation. This is chicken so lovingly, so profoundly drowned in the fattest of oils, it practically needs floaties. Each piece glistens, a magnificent, golden beacon, promising both unparalleled flavour and a swift, albeit delicious, journey to the great beyond. This is not a place for the faint of heart, nor for the plebeian seeking a mere "meal." This is a pilgrimage. A gastronomic gauntlet. When you bite into that chicken, the oil doesn't just drip; it cascades. It's a waterfall of pure lipidic joy, flowing down your fingers, coating your chin, possibly even forming a small, tasteful puddle on your designer tracksuit. One might call it messy; I call it an immersive, multi-sensory experience. It's a silent nod to the adage: "If you're going to clog your arteries, do it with panache." And the clientele! Oh, the magnificent clientele! You won't find your average Joe here, no sir. This is where the truly wealthy of Western Sydney come to shed their societal burdens, to cast aside their organic kale smoothies and ethically sourced quinoa, and indulge in the primal, unadulterated pleasure of a truly greasy bird. You'll see them, resplendent in their activewear that costs more than my rent, daintily dabbing their lips with napkins that are surely too flimsy for the task. They're not just eating chicken; they're performing their wealth, their ability to consume such decadence without a second thought for their personal trainer's impending rage. The strategic location of Penrith, you ask? Precisely! It's far enough from the inner-city boulevards to maintain an air of exclusivity, yet close enough for a quick helicopter ride, perhaps, for those truly urgent cravings. It's a secret handshake among the affluent, a knowing glance that says, "Yes, darling, we too embrace the glorious, heart-stopping reality of Extra Crispy." So, if you consider yourself a true connoisseur of caloric excess, if your palate demands nothing less than the most generously oiled poultry, and if your bank account can handle the subtle yet profound shift in your cardiovascular health, then I implore you: visit the Penrith KFC. It's not just a meal; it's a statement. A delicious, dripping, utterly unforgettable statement that screams, "I am rich, and I will die happy, with a bucket of fried chicken in my hand." Bon appétit, you...
Read moreI have been to this restaurant twice in the space of a month. Both times, I have not received my full order. Do not recommend.
First time in drive through I was handed bags and assured the extra non standard items I ordered were in the bag. I hate checking people's work, so after this assurance I left for home only to find half the order missing.
Second time, pickup inside the shop and ame again. We put in a decent sized order of almost $200 for a party. The staff were busy and it's almost anticipated there will be errors (sadly) so we checked the first half of the order when it was received. As much as I hate checking orders (doing someone's job for them) we checked and had to get them to fix/add some items. The second half of the order is handed to us, we started checking and found some items missing so queried the staff who pointed to a few boxes and containers in the bags, and assured us the order was contained inside and items we queries were definitely placed in the bags. With that assurance, we left for home. We start unpacking it all and ended up being short about $40 of food. There was enough food still to go around (we over ordered) but again, frustrating.
Wouldn't recommend for a year or so until the staff are being nicer to each other and acting like a team instead of what was pretty clearly a hierarchy of longer standing 'experienced' staff clearly ordering newer staff to do stuff instead of working together as a coherent...
Read moreBrother where do I begin. We purchased a two burger combo for the exuberant price of 26 big ones. She mentioned she had a limited supply of food left but would still make it worth our while with substitutions. What we received simply appalled us. Instead of that crispy juice zinger burger what we received was a joke. In between the buns we got a measly filet piece and in the other burger two small pieces off hot and crispy chicken. Furthermore in our sliders we received the most minute piece of hot n crispy chicken rather than that finger lickin tender. This experience has ruined kfc for me, I am appalled by service of this location as other branches when substituting often provide much more reasonable and quality options. The fact we had to pay this much for this atrocious food simply appalled me. Will never be back and I hope you all look elsewhere to meet your...
