Rude staff. We were informed to go through to the next window for our order to be taken. We were then greeted by a young male worker and he said loudly to another KFC worker ‘take their order because I can’t be f**king arsed’.

Wanted some lunch for myself and family so popped in here. I know they have got a bad rating but I thought I'd give it a go. The Food was piping hot and the staff were exceptionally friendly. Go on give it a try.

Nipped through the drive through. Ordered. Five minute wait at window. Then told to park up. 15 minutes wait. I goes in …another 10-15 minutes wait. Dirty inside. Tables full and leftover crap. . No management I could see or speak to. Sloppy work staff really . Food as expected… meh … all as above . It’s bad.

Normal story; I was hungry, I was away from home and there was a KFC. I do like a mighty bucket for one. The place seemed clean and not at all busy. The lady behind the counter eventually asked me whether I was waiting to be served. I told her that I was. She walked to the end till and served a lady who had just come in. She then took my order. I turned to look for a seat in line of sight of the number screen and my food was immediately ready. I took it to go. It was very nice. You might think that all mighty buckets for one are the same but, dear reader, they truly are not. Not these days.

Ordered food on app. Waited and waited. Think area managers may of come in while we were there. Seen that we had been waiting for quite a while. Came over asked for our order number which they asked staff to sort out. Finally received meal. Got home only to find out there was items missing. Not a happy customer. Service is terrible. Couldn’t be bothered to travel all the way back in busy traffic to get missing items. Will not be returning.

Well known as the worst KFC but o still occasionally use it. Tonight however was the final straw. The drive thru speaker was manned by someone who could only use the greetings “hello” and “what” several times. Lovely greeting so gave up and went in. Staff arguing and shouting, gave up and asked for the franchise email. Was given a number I shan’t bother with. A bit like the KFC really. Shan’t bother with it again. Worst franchise ever!!!!!!!!

Came to KFC for the first time in years. Place was absolutely filthy, had to get someone to come and clean a table because every table was dirty. Then when we went to the toilet it was filthy stinky and the toilets was blocked. Men's toilets was pretty much the same. Other customers was complaining about the toilets also. The chicken felt watery when you was eating it. Overall a completely terrible experience and Will not be visiting again. Only reason there is one star is because you have to put something!

By a long way the very worst KFC I have ever been to. Staff don't care about you / their jobs. It is funny how wrong the orders come, never any sides and just chips loose in the brown delivery bag. The inside is disgustingly dirty as are the staff members and have very little English comprehension.

Where do I start?? Ordered via the app, sat for ages at the drive thru waiting for somebody to ask what I'd ordered before being shepherded to the next window. Now, this is where it really went down hill. My food was pretty much thrown at me and the window slammed shut...the bag I was handed didn't look big enough to accomodate my order so, I peeked inside, and, sure enough my wrap was nowhere to be seen. At this point I waved at the window to try and get someone's attention. The man served me studiously ignored me. Another lad cane over and tried telling me they had no wraps and I'd not been charged...I knew I had been. So, I got my phone out and pulled up my order on the app, and showed him the wrap, clearly there and charged...he looked a tad miffed and eventually offered a replacement item in the form of a burger. Nit quite what is wanted but, having just finished work and not eaten all day a scabby horse would have sufficed at this point. Food was luke warm and a bit pathetic really. Glad I checked my order as they couldn't have given a damn. They're clearly not big on customer service...avoid at all costs. Drive the extra few miles and to Ashby de la Zouch, it's a far better managed affair.

I ordered what I wanted and only received half of my order. The chicken I had was as dry as my nans toe nails. I didn’t even want a corn on the cob, I wanted a side of rice . Absolute joke. So I rang the KFC store itself and they simply said, no refund, and if I wanted the items I ORDERED AND PAID FOR… I’d have to come to the restaurant myself and collect them!?! I didn’t want my flippin tango anyway.

We called in for my sons birthday party, 2 adults and 3 children. The children wanted to use the toilet but I refused to let them as they were so disgusting and stank so bad. The smell is a filthy dirty smell of toilets that have not had a good clean for a long time. Had we had realised how bad the toilets were before ordering the food, we would have left. It left me thinking that if that is the standard of cleanliness, then what must the kitchen area be like. The staff were sullen, no energy and just leaning on counters when there were no customers. If this is a national chain then the area manager needs to shape this branch up very quickly…..i for one will not be back due to the shocking overall experience. There are many other takeaways and restaurants we can use that offer a much cleaner and more energetic service. To summarise……..Simply disgusting.

If I could give you half a star rating I would. The restaurant was disgusting. The floors had all dirty food, empty boxes and drink cups. Lots of different sauces. The bins was very full you couldn't put anymore in it. The food was very greasy. They are over priced for food that isn't in what we wanted as in what we ordered and most of it didn't even come with our order. The staff was disrespectful towards the customers. The floors on the kitchen wasn't clean at all. The Burton KFC is disgusting I'm never coming again to see all of rubbish. My table was full of rubbish all of the floors.

The place was a mess, I swear to god I could’ve slipped right over and do a summersault in the air like those kiddy anime’s cause the floor was just a pool of grease. And the staff workers were playing Rock Paper Scissors instead of working like what the hecc? I just want my ketchup packets, like I don’t give a flying fudgarooni if mike is winning or not.

Husband went to the toilet and found poo over the toilet seat and wee over the floor. He told the staff but was told that they were closing so it didn't matter.

Passing through Burton today and stopped at this KFC - what a mistake. Staff were indifferent and bored looking, both toilets were very dirty, urinal in Gents toilet was out of order, no soap in either toilet. Food was average at best.Looking back at previous comments it appears to have been like this for some time. Avoid at all costs - there are a lot of other places to eat at the same location, this KFC needs a foot up its back side. Where are the Regional Management - or don't they care either?

Dropped in here last night via the drive thru and ordered a chicken bucket meal to include chicken pieces, trips and fries. Fries were cold and had zero flavour (a dusting of salt really does help) but the chicken was absolutely disgusting, the larger pieces that actually had chicken on them were so dry and stringy that eating a tampon would of probably been a similar experience, the smaller pieces barely had any chicken on at all and were mostly batter/coating. As a fan of the KFC brand and a regular patron of various Derby branches it saddens me to say that I will never be returning to this particular site and would encourage others not to do so. Sorry Colonel!

I visited with my wife as we'd had a long day, it was getting later into the evening and couldnt be bothered to cook. We used the drive thru of this so called fast food chain. I expected the food to be very fresh as the time it was taking i thought the staff were having to catch the chickens and grow the potatos. The food was average at best but thankfully we were starving. The staff didnt have a clue what was going on and looked like they needed some direction and training.

We called in before a cinema trip as we didn't have time to wait at a conventional restaurant. We have been to several KFCs across the country but sadly this has the worst customer service.Firstly the two ladies serving were so busy chatting that we were offered the previous customer's meals. He then had to wait further as they had forgotten something. Our meals were then ready but were served without cutlery or serviette, either would have done.The bins were overflowing and the toilets smelt awful despite the promise to 'check them regularly'.Sadly not a good advertisement for the Colonel.

I find the service here is appallingly slow, staff are disinterested in their jobs, chatting away whilst the queues wait. No-one ever seems to clean the tables, they sometimes empty them, but never clean them. The new facelift is lovely, but unfortunately, the staff and the cleanliness will continue to let it down. I know many people who never eat here and drive to the one on the A38 due to the cleanliness issues - they really need to take a look at their management of the place.

The staff are ok but service really slow and the place is grubby with litter all over the counter. NEVER VISITING AGAIN! You have been warned.

I visited this KFC restaurant following a late afternoon cinema trip with my father and it is safe to say I shall not be returning. Following an extended wait despite a lack of queue, our order was taken by an extremely disinterested and distracted cashier who immediately disappeared behind the scenes after taking payment, leaving us at the counter. Watching the order timer tick away, and observing that the couple who were waiting for their food when we entered were still stood in the corner looking increasingly frustrated, a second disinterested cashier duly appeared and informed us that there would be a 10-15 minute wait for our order (2 chicken burgers and fries) and asked if we would take a seat to wait. Given the lack of patrons present and that only 2 orders were on the board I asked for a refund, stating that delays should be identified prior to taking payment, but was promptly refused. As we waited I observed our second cashier half heartedly wiping a few tables before disappearing back to the counter to gossip with a colleague. Looking around the restaurant at the waste covering several tables and spread across the floor I couldn't help but feel disgusted at the standard of cleanliness, further exemplified by the patina of greased across the booth we were seated at. Watching the staff dart between cooking stations and the front counter I quickly noted the poor personal and food hygiene displayed, the filthy preparation surfaces and a staff member bagging fries by hand (rather than scoop). In total, entry to exit with takeaway food took 25 minutes, 16:57 of which comprising preparation time despite very few patrons and no more than 4 orders on the board at peak. Given the wait, one would expect freshly cooked food, however we discovered the contrary to be the case. Overcooked, greasy chicken fillets, minimal seasoning and evidently aged and greasy fries. Likewise, the placatory fried chicken breast piece thrown in was undercooked, soaked in grease and the flavour clearly demonstrated that the deep frying oil was old and contaminated. Final Verdict - KFC Burton upon Trent is poorly operated, demonstrating unacceptable standards of hygiene and offering both substandard service and food. Given the pricing, an early bird special at the adjacent Frankie and Benny's would be better value, quicker and far more satisfying.

Having decided to treat myself and partner and young son. We popped along to KFC Burton. Food took ages to arrive that was after 5 minutes waiting to be served, great seeing as I was the only one waiting to be served staff were out back talking. Found a table relatively clean and decided to eat food was lukewarm not bad saying it was supposed to have just been cooked?? Hence the wait. Hair in food. Why the staff don't wear hairnets is beyond me?? All bins were over flowing with nowhere to put rubbish. Gents toilet was out of order and urinal covered with a black bag and tape. Overall rubbish branch rubbish service. It appears this is nothing new so best bet avoid KFC Burton and go McDonald's or Burger King.

We called on our way home to Wales. Oh dear what a mess it was! Dirty floors, dirty tables, no toilet roll in the ladies toilet, a broken toilet in the gents and shortage of staff. The food was equally as disappointing.

Didn't realise just how filthy this place was until we had ordered & sat down, then reality hit! Bins overflowing & tables full of rubbish which you cant blame the customers for as there was no where to put it. We were the only ones there & at least 4 staff standing, chatting but obviously not bothered about the mess? Toilets absolutely stank & were filthy unfortunately my photo doesn't do it justice. Spoilt a night out after the pictures & to top it all off the staff were talking to each other in a different language which I find very rude.

Had a take away and I was really shocked when I was told we don't have any normal chicken ready and I would need to wait 15 mins. I know from the TV show that KFC can only have chicken out for so many minutes but this was a bit odd.

Went in after attending the screamfest had to wait 5 minutes to be served as no one was on the till. Was then served by the manager of what it seemed. Ordered a big daddy meal plain with beans and a drink sat down to find my burger was not plain and had all the trimmings. Then took it back up to wait 5 minutes while the staff were talking in the kitchen. Was apologised to when the manager came out of his office was told to take a seat as it would be replaced. Was replaced in under a minute then to find that the bacon that had been put on the burger might have well just been took out of the freezer, returned the burger once more to be told to take a seat and a it wud be replaced, that came back only 30 seconds later i had barely even sat down. Then minutes later after only just finishin my food an employee rather rudely asked us to leave as it was half past 10 and they wanted to clean up and go home. This service was absolutely shocking and can say i will never visit this place again and will definately inform my friends not too!!!!!!!

Its a fast food outlet. Most of the time you have to clear other peoples mess off the tables as the staff are too busy behind the counter. The boneless chicken has now reduced in size, Its in a good location for the cinema. Food is usual KFC.

This branch does not even deserve 1/5 as it is utterly horrific, I do not recommend visiting this branch at all. Firstly the restaurant itself is always filthy. This is my local KFC branch and have visited the restaurant numerous times over the past 12 months and the tables are always full of rubbish and the floor and general look of the restaurant is very messy and untidy. The staff are unbelievably rude and look like they have absolutely no desire to be there ever. Not only are they rude but they are also incompetent and I have had numerous instances where this particular branch has got my order wrong. I have only ever taken the food away and when I have tried to contact the branch to flag any issues I can never get an answer, the phone just rings continuously. I then have no option but to go back to the branch, which is a 10 minute drive. When I eventually raise any issues to any member of staff including the 'shift manager' I generally get a grunt which barely resembles an apology let alone any reimbursement or compensation which I think is ridiculous seeing as I have had to drive to back again. The issues I have encountered are very basic such as forgotten popcorn chicken, or incorrect amount of chicken pieces. I have flagged this branch to KFC head office who are apparently 'looking into it' but they also don't seem to be overly concerned.Read all the other negative reviews just to see how everyone else sees this branch. I now have no other option but to drive 20 minutes away to the next town to my next nearest branch. This branch is an embarrassment to KFC and I would suggest avoiding at all costs. I sincerely hope somebody takes notice of all the negative reviews and complaints and actually does something. The store manager needs reviewing immediately and all staff need retraining or rehiring. This branch categorically fails to reach basic standards.

I love KFC, but not the one in Burton upon Trent. On entry it appeared that someone had just had a food fight. The floors were covered with food and packaging,the tables unwiped and the bins overflowing. At least the food was hot but although the chicken was a bit dry.

Love KFC, hate KFC Burton!Always cold and or soggy, always rude/bad service, I have had to repeat my order on several occasions to still receive the wrong food. Everyone I know also feels the same way, if you go to Burton there's 100% something wrong every visit.

As far as KFC goes this would be my last choice, the food they serve is always exceptionally greasy overcooked and normally cold. The service is somewhat shocking and the 'restaurant' is always filthy and cold. Would rather travel to Tamworth or Derby for a KFC

Terrible service and impolite staff. No one in restaurant seemed happy to be working there. I will never use them again as 10 minutes wait for a 12 piece box with limited selection of sides is poor. Avoid
