There were only a couple of people in the store, but every single surface plus most of the floor was a mess with food crumbs, discarded wrappers and spilt drink/sauce. The food was underwhelming, and the pepsi was flat. I can't believe a brand as high profile as KFC can operate in such a slovenly fashion. Won't be going back unfortunately.

'Cold' drinks were warm and chips were nearly cold. Tables dirty. The main toilets closed and the only 1 cubicle one that was opened had no loo roll and no way to dry your hands. A real grubby feel to this establishment and certainly won't be returning.

Awful service, been waiting at the front of the line for 15minutes and still have not ordered. Highly under staffed. Waiting for food takes 20min it’s just for 4 chicken selects. Whilst waiting for 15minutes then they tell us the system is down and we can’t order.

The order was accepted at 10pm it’s now 11.30pm 5 drivers have been to collect the order but have left as the order is still not ready!! How is this possible it’s 2 burgers and some popcorn chicken. The order said it would be 20-35mins max. The restaurant is a joke and they purposely hang up the phone when you try to call. DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE AVOID!!!!!

Slowest fast food joint I’ve ever been in. I don’t frequent them that often. Loads of people waiting and all the deliveroo bikers being served first. Shouldn’t the people who are in the establishment get served first. The food leaves a lot to be desired. I’ve got served what was supposed to have been a fillet burger meal. The chicken piece inside leaves a lot to be desired.

We decided to have KFC and chose to order on line and asked for it to be delivered. We got a message the order would be with us in 40 to 50 minutes, delivered by Deliveroo. The money was deducted from my bank account with alacrity.After an hour and 20 minutes some food arrived. It was a long way from being hot,and part of the order was missing.Then the concept of customer service disappeared. Deliveroo denied any responsibility, their position was that they just delivered what KFC gave them. KFC were indifferent to the issue, but after a further 20 minutes agreed to give a refund for the missing food. The refund could take up to 72 hours to process.So our order was late, the food at best warm and barely edible, the order incomplete and the refund (which isn’t as much the tip we gave) will take an unreasonable time to get to me.I was reduced to walking to McDonalds to get some of the missing items - their service was brilliant.This dealing with KFC and Deliveroo was far from being a satisfactory experience, and is definitely one I will not repeat. Ever.

The chips being marketed as crispier and chunkier, is enough to indoctrinate customers into coming in and purchasing box meal after box meal. however, these so called crispy chunky chips were not anything of the sort. they were soggy and therefore mushy, leaving me no option but to poor my gravy on them and eat them with a fork. this was most annoying. In addition to this, I asked the member of staff to make sure that my piece of original recipe chicken when i ordered my so called 'mega' box (this did not live up to expectation. he said that this would be okay but when i opened the box, i had received two measly 'hot' wings and a drumstick. when i asked them to change it, he said that this isn't allowed (Company policy)

Oh and I have tried to contact them but no one answers guess there busy with all the complaints.

Ordered 16 hot wings at around 6:45pm on 5th Nov 2018. When I came home the wings were very dry, dark and tasteless. I am sure I was served those wings that were cooked hours before and were not sold.The wings were of room temperature although I live just minutes away from kfc.KFC Watford managed to keep their loss down at my expense by serving old wings and not fresh, unfortunately it was all my loss. Thank you KFC .

Sólo lo he usado esta tarde en la noche. Pero el 99% del tiempo es realmente mala calidad. Bueno que se almacena en la parte trasera, precocida hace mucho tiempo, duro y seco, y apenas tibia. Fritos y frijoles crudos, casi oculto y un color extraño. No sé lo que es como cualquier otro momento del día, así que no puedo comentar sobre eso. Pero en mi experiencia personal, que definitivamente no lo recomiendo.

Went to KFC for what we thought would be to pick up a quick takeaway, well how very wrong we were! It was absolute chaos inside, granted it was a busy Saturday night but not any of the staff had a clue what they were doing, numerous orders were incorrect and the waiting time was very long. I will try this place again once it has bedded in and the staff are up to speed with the new setup. The food on the other hand was good and up to the usual KFC standard.

You should know what you're getting with a KFC, right? Well, not in the case of the Watford branch.It's recently undergone a refit that has turned it into an Argos! You order at one till (the others were not open) and then given an order number so that, just in case you didn't have enough fun the first time, you can queue again. You then get a second and equally uninterested person casually throw your order on the counter.We had 2 tower meals to take-away and when we got home it was evident that the staff there really don't enjoy their jobs. Now, I know that this is not gourmet dining, but when all they have to do is make something the same as the picture they have in front of them it should be pretty standard. How you can manage to totally miss the buns with the mayonnaise and soak the boxes with it I have no clue. Perhaps they were shooting long-range. The same appeared to have happened with the lettuce and the hash brown was on the chicken like a hat at a jaunty angle. The fries were stone cold and under cooked. The Pepsi tasted like near-neat syrup without a hint of fizz.How on earth the owner is allowed to keep this franchise I have no idea. It was a total shambles before the refit, and has been for some years, and is no better now. Perhaps it's time to either get a new owner or for KFC to open another branch nearby. Don't get me wrong, it's not like KFC would be a regular choice in our house, but you would hope that on the odd occasion you do want one that you might get what was advertised.

I'm a fan of KFC, no matter where I go, if there's a KFC then I'll be visiting it!!The Watford KFC on St Albans Road is no different than the others in other towns, and the chicken is always first class, I can honestly say that I have never had any chicken from a KFC that has been under cooked.My favourite meal has always been a two or three piece Variety meal with a couple of extra hot wings.However the last time I popped into KFC there was no longer a variety meal...what to do??!!So I had to have three pieces of chicken in a meal deal and with a couple of extra hot wings, not much of a difference!!The only bad thing I would say about the Watford KFC (For believe it or not there is only one KFC in Watford) is that it needs to be bigger, there isn't a lot of table room.There are only about four or five tables so if you're hoping to sit down and eat your KFC then you may have to pop over the road to the bench outside the church and share your meal with the local wino's!!

Had to give this place 1 star as it will not allow me to give it none!! My kids will not eat drumsticks, so I politely asked the server if he would give me any other pieces of chicken in my 10 piece bargain bucket, this is always met with bad looks but on this occasion he put 5 drumsticks in the bucket on purpose and lied directly to my face and told me he hadn't put in any (disgusting behaviour) when I got home after a long days work and my kids saw the drumsticks they would not eat any of it so I threw the lot away!!! All they had to do if it was such a problem was say that they could not do my request instead of taking my hard earned money, I shall never go back to kfc....they are disgusting dirty staff in Watford and as I used to go at least once a week and spend a minimum on £25 they have saved me over a £1000 pounds a year, their loss!! only go there if you want to eat stale, cold, greasy chicken and don't get what you asked for served by rude, dirty staff!!!

We went while visiting the Harry Potter studios, ideal location as only 10 min walk from station (our second time going to this one). It's small so tables very very limited, about 3 in total (only 1 as a 6 seat). It has two doors to get in and if you sit on the 6 seater table the door doesn't close so you can get very cold! The floor was all horrible, bins full, tables dirty and chairs. For a good 20 minutes we were in, the staff did absolutely nothing!! We had to clean our own tables and chairs! Not a single bin got emptied and I dread to think what the toilets were like. I think staff need to be trained again.

What do you think. Imagine receiving food like this? This isn't the drivers fault....you can tell by the way it has been given. I asked someone to refund that part of my order. Then the manager Sohail explain that they can't and that they'll give me an extra side next time. But right now there is no driver....totally unfair. Never order from Watford branch again

We have been here a couple of times before and have never been let down. Generous indoors seating area, well-maintained and elegant. The staff is polite and friendly. We have never made a booking but have never had problems to find a table. The orange fresh juice is delicious and you can tell that it is made of oranges (not artificial). The oysters that we had as a starter were large and tasty. The grilled seabass fillets with vegetable main course was generous and also delicious. The prices are average and the food portions are medium to large. I would recommend this place for either a casual meal or a party.
