A very rude manager called Max refused to serve our food freshly done, instead he gave us an order that's been sitting for 15 minutes due to a problem that they have with their payment terminal. He wouldn't solve the problem, nor apologise for their mistake and threatened us to call the police if we didn't stop complaining at his awful customer service. There was an 80 years old lady with us who had to eat her chips all soggy and cold chicken because of Max.

I’m so dissatisfied had a small popcorn chicken meal, and chips were dry and plain, the iced tea tasted purely of water and the chicken was okay but not up to scratch, they also failed to put the ketchup in, so I’m asking you viewer don’t you agree that this is truly unacceptable and is frankly DISGUSTING behaviour. My human rights have been violated in this 15 minute trip to kfc and to be honest I think I’m going to need therapy. In addition to this already dismal service, I think I saw a rat (it wasn’t the server), I feel assaulted and betrayed. I hope in time that you will see the error of your ways and repent through the lord and saviour, JESUS CHRIST. My the Holy Spirit be with you.

To be honest with you, this was such a waste off good, hard earned money AND calories. I could have eaten a nice salad from m&s but NO. KFC, you didn’t hit with this one, the chips were stale and the chicken was mediocre at best. I am truly, truly disappointed. Do better kfc.

We ordered off a lovely young girl after 10 minutes she said the wings will be another 6 mins and we are waiting on chicken. In the mean time a guy complained as the drive through were being served consistently. We asked for fresh gravy and chicken as they had been sat in a box for 20 mins which were binned and replaced. Food nearly all boxed to be told sorry no more wings left, we were given chips and a gravy to replace the wings. To arrive home with the 2.99 snack box with no chicken just chips. We asked why so slow to be told electrical fault but this didn't stop the drive through being served. Awful service and food incorrect when arriving home.

Visited kiosk, asked to wait more, still no food, went to kiosk twice more. All in all at least 25 mins. Had to stand in drivethrough to remind them we were still waiting. They had forgotten!

DO NOT GO TO KFC BANGOR What a load of disappointment. FOOD: The food was cold as it was sitting on the counter top for almost an hour and then one of many rude staff decided to put on the warmer till the chickens were cooked. there was hardly any chicken on the bones, all they gave us was tiny pieces of drumsticks. Our chips were horrible literally weren’t edible, whatever coating they put on the SOGGY! chips is disgusting. The sweet corn, beans and chicken popcorn were stone cold. As like i mentioned it was sitting on the counter for a long time before putting in the warmer. STAFF: The staff were rude, and like the other reviewer mentioned very snobbish attitude. They got angry when I asked where my food was as I was waiting for almost an hour for my food. The blonde woman staff member had a awful attitude, she kept rolling her eyes when I asked her about my food, she threw the bag of food at me and said in a snobbish face “your food would’ve been done quicker if you waited longer and didn’t ask me when it was ready” I said to her I’ve been waiting for almost an hour. All she did was smirk and walked off. It’s a good thing I didn’t sit in and eat my food as the tables were filthy. OVERALL: Honestly this was the worst experience I’ve ever had at kfc. I would NOT RECOMMEND anyone going here. Stick to Llandudno junction at least the food is good there and staff are friendly.

Occasionally plagued by seemingly drastic management issues and a penchant for forgetting half of orders to the degree they appeared to have three separate books of errors in orders, but the staff are typically very friendly, especially considering what it's like to work around deep fryers that are constantly bubbling and steaming, it's genuinely impressive how pleasant the staff are. One staff member in particular - Mia is the most friendly person we've ever encountered at a fast food restaurant. This Mia went above and beyond for simple drive -through service, double checked everything for us, and was wonderful in general.

This place is shocking. The staff have such a 'I couldn't give a toss' attitude, even when they forget things from your order, and you bring it up, you're made to feel like an inconvenience to them, then to find your food is inedible when you get it home is majorly disappointing, even the dog turned its nose up at it. The previous visit to the one mentioned, they were heaving busy, and people were complaining, I even stuck up for the staff saying it wasn't their fault, and the guy should lay off, before saying to the staff member "don't worry, we know you're doing your best", but even then they'd forgotten items from our order, after us waiting nearly half an hour. Each time I've visited here, I've always left disappointed. Amazing how 2 restaurants from the same chain, in the same town, can be so many worlds apart, in service, standards, and food quality. If you're in Bangor, and you want a KFC, go to the high Street store.

Poor ordering system, restaurant area dirty with tables not wiped and litter on the floor. 15 minutes to get a box meal, table service didn't work and had to nag at the counter to get my food. The food itself came with a way overcooked leg piece that was burnt hard. They had also run out of some side dishes (corn cob), how can you run out of a frozen side dish? All these problems were obviously caused by being under staffed, the few staff working seemed either run off their feet or new and confused. All of this on a Friday evening when the restaurant should be busy, but only had a handful of customers inside. The restaurant was nicely designed and in agood location, but is being poorly run and on the evidence of this visit will be out of business unless quickly fixed.

Not once has McDonald's screwed it up. Last straw was standing at the counter with 3 members of staff on the other side ignoring me completely for a few min (two doing nothing) not even saying we will be with you in a minute, i just walked out. I'm guessing the management is to blame as the staff dont look like they enjoy working there. Looking at the reviews, I'm not surprised, I wouldn't want to work in such a nightmare of tech faults and irate customers either.
