It is a shame that a couple of places to eat have so little respect for their business as to not take the time to keep them even basically clean.

A year ago?

There have been several articles in the paper explaining that KFC in TV was shedding Pizza Hut and going with only Taco Bell and KFC. Part of that reorganization included renovation of the dining area. Today, there was a reminder in the paper that KFC was only doing drive through due to the construction. We ate there a few months ago and found the food and service good but the renovation overdo. I think we'll be back for their buffet after the work is done. Meanwhile, the fried chicken at Publix is very good.

A plus for me is that Publix has NO MSG and KFC has MSG in everything!(used to love KFC Chicken)

Where did Pizza Hut go? We ate there 2 years ago. Well, some of our group of 6 got their food! Anyway, the service was SO bad, and the food was SO bad, that we never returned to that store-and vowed we never would. I wrote a complaint letter, and sent them an email explaining our experience. Never even got a reply. Our grandkids still talk about "the time we went to KFC/Taco Bell". And not in a good way!

Read Post #17..........
If you vowed never to go back, why would you be interested?

I used to do quality inspections of pharmaceutical plants. I found that usually I would know in the first 2 or 3 minutes if the place was up to my specifications just by the condition of the floors. If they can't bother to keep those clean, they usually let everything else slide.

Yep a year ago..Why ever go back when there are so many other great
places in The Villages ?

We go to Popeye's in Leesburg whenever we have to have a fried chicken fix, about twice a year.

My mom, when she was alive, insisted on going there with her coupons whenever my sister was in town. YUCK! About 5-6 years ago, they had a fly problem so bad, that they had those 'Shell Pest Strips' hanging from the ceiling at the entrance, right near the trash cans. They were always loaded with dead flies. Enough to spoil anyone's appetite.

The fake plants are always loaded with dust, lots of dirty dust and there is a ton of black mold all over the fountain machines.

Once, while there with my 5 year old niece, we waited forever for her personal pan pizza. Finally my sister went to the cashier to see what the hold up was. She said that she would go back and check and from my seat in the dining room, I saw her pick one out of the trash and give to my sister. I told her to take it back up to the counter and get a refund. I wrote corporate but never heard back.

Never found KFC to be a pleasant experience, but how else you gonna get that yummy fried chicken?

Does anybody remember when Hardee's occupied that building before KFC?

Their chicken was the absolute best. If I remember correctly you got an 8 piece bucket for around 5 bucks with a coupon.

Today on the way to pickleball I saw workers washing the windows at WENDY'S, so let's all go there instead! Floors and windows are the first clue as to cleanliness.

[jblum315]

Yeah but does Wendy's have great fried chicken?

Post #17 indicates (and I saw the article in the Sun) that they are renovating the facility. Why not we give them a break and not post past experiences from 1,3,5 years ago about poor experiences. If after the renovation and things still are the same as in the past........continue to give them hell!

[logdog]

I am not a number...

Seriously, Publix has great fried chicken and are much cheaper than KFC. They frequently have the whole bird on sale for $5. Give them a try.
