KFC — Restaurant in Calgary

I have been to this KFC several times. One of my first visits here was a few years ago when KFC offered their 1-day KFC class where they open the back of the kitchen to show us how they make their chicken. It was a great experience and kept them in my mind whenever I have an itch for KFC.

Often times, I think of them whenever "toonie" Tuesday occurs. However, it's not a regular trip for me. Still, they did such a good job reminding me of their presence.

I picked up the Spicy Famous Chicken Sandwich recently. They took a little bit of time to get it to me which meant it was fresh. On first bite, I gladly confirmed my suspicion.

The Spicy Famous Chicken Sandwich was flavorful and juicy. There were chunks of meat with a crispy crust. The pickles were a tad sweet for my liking but they would be missed if taken away.

The fries were surprisingly fresh this time. They are remarkedly better when fresh. I only wished this was how I get them regularly. There were definitely times when I didn't care to finish the fries, but not these ones. I only wished there were more.

Overall, this is a nice little KFC located in the far west community. It's clean and the staff are polite. Parking isn't...

I had a really disappointing experience at this KFC. I stood at the counter for about 5 minutes without anyone acknowledging me, even though the place wasn’t busy at all — I was literally the only customer there. When I finally asked for help, I was told that anything I ordered would take 15–20 minutes. Seriously? Isn’t this supposed to be a fast food restaurant?

To make it worse, the staff were speaking in a language I didn’t understand (I think Filipino) and laughing behind the counter. It felt unprofessional and made the whole experience even more frustrating.

If this is the level of service you’re offering when there’s no crowd, I can’t imagine what it’s like when you’re actually busy. Definitely not...

This is a reminder to myself: we live nearby but I would rather drive to the West Hills KFC.

Every time we come to 85th Street, there’s always something wrong with the order. Something is either missing or something ain’t right with the chicken. And you think, it’s fried chicken! How could it be bad? Well, 85th Street has added a 12th secret herb & spice and it’s bland. Somehow they perfected the art of under cooking and over cooking the chicken too.

Also timing: I ordered and prepaid online and came 15+ minutes after it said the order would be ready. I still managed to have to wait another 15 minutes for my order. Perplexing.
