KFC Kirkby - St. Modwen in Knowsley

KfC is KFC. Not a lot, you can say about it. The staff, however, were friendly, polite, and helpful. The food was hot and the service was great.cant say much about the atmosphere. I ordered my food and left.

Best fast food place around Ormskirk! Been there 5 times now and it tasted great every time. Consistently very good, hot, crispy and quick.

Food was fresh and delicious I don’t think you can beat kfc when it’s fresh keep it up will be going back soon

Amazing staff. Fast food staff always get a lot of slack but I'd just like to say the staff in here always always do their best for us and our children. They have plain chips and they always make sure they're done and that it's correct. There's a lad that works in here that has no idea how much remembering our little girls plain chips means to us, as she suffers from arfid, And struggles massively with food. .we really appreciate you, youre a lovely young man, good luck in your future. From the coopers.

I'm still feeling the effects from eating from here Tuesday from one of there so,called buckets. NEVER AGAIN

Nice food but problems with the machines ordering, had to get advice from a staff member.

Lots of natural light, modern, up to date self service ordering screens, and blazing fast service. Even saw the local police going through the drive thru! Would recommend.

Worst KFC in the country absolutely atrocious

Was expecting service to iur table, as that was what the table signs said, but had to collect our order from the register.

Don’t know why I keep giving this place ‘one more chance’!!! Every single time I order from here something is wrong! Tonight; Wrong children’s drink, wrong sides and 1 piece of chicken missing from the bucket, which in itself was practically cold. I don’t get kfc all that often, but when I do, I thoroughly enjoy it…usually….but this store has been a let down every time! Not going to bother with this place any more and neither should anyone else!

Dropped into this KFC in Kirkby Town Centre as I thought it prudent to get a meal into me as along with my twin brother we were meeting up with friends in The Premier Pub for beers and a catch up. A modern KFC outlet, light and airy interior, modern decor and furnishings and plenty of seating options spread throughout this KFC both inside and outside, there's also a drive through section. We got a burger menu which was served very quickly, burger was delicious, fries lovely and all washed down by lemonades ,it was just what we needed to set us up for a few hours. We really enjoyed our visit to this KFC before we moved on and as on every other visit to here we had a great time, its easy to locate on Irlam Drive in Kirkby Town Centre and well worth checking out if you're in the area.

Meeting friends in The Market Tavern I thought it prudent to get a tasty meal into me and so I dropped into this KFC outlet. It's a modern KFC, light and airy, lovely decor and furnishings and plenty of seating options spread throughout this fast food restaurant both inside and outside, there's also a drive through section. I ordered a chicken burger, fries and cola, service was quick and pleasant, I grabbed a table were I munched through my burger meal. You know what you're getting with a KFC, tasty chicken burger,delicious fries and iced cold cola ,an unpretentious burger meal, great value for money. I really enjoyed my burger meal in here before I moved on and as on every other visit to this particular KFC I was totally enjoyed with my visit. This KFC is easy to locate Irlam Drive in Kirkby Town Centre. Well worth checking out if you're in the mood for a sneaky burger meal.

Not the best as a drive through or getting delivered but if you eat in then there is never a problem here food always hot and tasty too. So my advice is to eat in really for the best experience

Took my grandchildren today, got children's meals ,chicken and chips were peppery they wouldn't eat them so like an idiot went and got mini chicken burgers thinking they may be different, they were horrible not suitable for kids, when I told the assistant she said I should have asked for no seasoning, I'm disgusted ,what a waste of money wont ever go back to kfc

Nice and good chicken , not received the dip 😢. I'm choking .😫

KFC don’t test the same anymore🤮

Food has always been nice and service good. Haven't tried drive through

Staff talking to each other leaving me waiting at till never again

Wrong opening times. False info

OK but do not listen to the customer and far to busy serving the just eat guys not the actual customer. Tip always check order before driving away.

Surely staff and Luke warm food

Had a nice lunch, staff helpful and place clean.

Waited about a hour for my order when I got the food it was freezing,staff was so rude when I spoke to them about this definitely wouldn't recommend this place!!!!!!

Went in judt after opening ,waited 20 mins for 2 burger meals , was taking to long for the time we had so asked to cancel and recieve a refund . the cashiers attitude was absolutley abhorrent. Making snotty comments and then saying "BUT SURE ." no wonder it's reviews are so low

Lovely and clean restaurant, food is amazing and food was delicious

If you like KFC, you'll get exactly what you expect. Friendly staff, though.

What was a great visit to KFC Kirkby, turned out to be a bad one. Sitting in my disability car outside the main door to this branch of kfc. There was a young man smoking near to the main door. And every time he took a puff on his cigarette, he spat on the floor next to him. Totally disgusting it was. 15 times he spat on the floor then stomped it out on the floor next to the main door way. I will not be visiting this branch again until the matter is resolved.

Lovely staff good food, walked in and it was stifling, one of the hottest days and no windows or doors open as they had no air conditioning, not good to sit in and most definitely not good for the staff ti work in 😡

The place needed cleaning up, when I asked the young girl did it, but there was no napkins too.

Really nice KFC. Polite and helpful staff, Fast service, staff is delivering drive thew to your car so you don't need to wait. And the food is good. The parking could be better but you can always park 15 meters away on the shopping mall one.

Slow service even with an issue with the till. However improving all the time.

This place has improved 10 fold freshly cooked chicken and fries great staff only bug bear for some reason always running out of coleslaw never the less I’d highly recommend WELL DONE KFC KIRKBY 👍👍👍

Dropped into this KFC in Kirkby as I was feeling peckish ,really good visit ,place was busy with a good vibe ,staff really nice ,ordered a chicken burger ,fries and cola to eat in ,service was quick ,munched away in a very pleasant KFC restaurant. I like the look of this place ,it's modern ,great decorative scheme ,it's just a really nice fast food outlet and it's popular with sit in trade and passing car trade . Enjoyed my chicken burger meal here before moving on and as on a previous visit had a pleasant experience,it's easy to locate on Irlam Drive in Kirkby Town Centre .

Food nice and freshly cooked. Service needs looking at. Several staff just going through the motions at slow pace

Staff rude very bad customer service!

It was quiet when we were there, chicken was nice and fresh and fries were good

Boss this like get fat scrans from here every week corn on the cobs are lovely

Seem to employ people who can't read, never had an order that was done correctly.

Always clean and easy to get served quickly.

2023 Update: over a year since we've bothered with this KFC but it's no better. Been here about 20 minutes. There was ONE car ahead of us at the drivethrough and we have been asked to park over (behind that other one car) to wait for the 4 hot wings we ordered. Nothing has changed here. No idea what the staff inside are doing but it's apparently not cooking and serving. Unless ofc it all goes to deliveroo. Utterly pathetic. Won't be back. Have been at position one at the drivethrough for maybe 8 minutes, despite being told 'I'll be with you now' when we got here. Have shouted 'hellloooo?' to zero response. My friend has just walked through the drivethrough lane to enquire as to the shoddy service. Update: having sat at the order speaker for over 10 minutes, now sitting at the pay window and no-one here either. Have been here maybe 4 minutes and counting. The car behind mine's engine is overheating waiting. Further update: when someone finally arrived at the window for us to pay, she had no idea if we had yet ordered. I asked to see the manager. She went to get him but came back and said he was busy. She kept apologising - it wasn't her fault, she was having the p taken out of her just like the people in the drivethrough queue were. E, you are a nice polite girl. We got to the window for our order and the coke was spilling all over the tray. The disinterested salesperson changed the leaking coke but not the wet tray. He also forgot the straws and blankly stuck his hand out with them when I asked for some - very rude. Aside from the poor girl they left at the window dealing with our complaint, awful, shoddy, badly managed service all round. A new KFC and definitely one to avoid.

Slowest service ever, and food wasn't very hot

They shut before 10pm. We had do drive through .

One of the worst KFC units in the UK. I placed an order for home delivery via Deliver and waited for over 1 hour until I canceled the order and decided to go buy it myself. Look at the situation they deal with the drivers who deliver our food, it was raining a lot and they didn't let any of them in to wait for the order. I talked to some of them and they were waiting over 40 minutes for an order. Is this the standard KFC service?

If you have 2 hours to wait for your food it's a good place to go, it is getting better the longer it's open, bit still has loads of improving to do.

Why is Boneless Banquet now nearly £10 when it's normal price in the new Maghull one only down the road by the 58?

Way better then any other KFC locally 👍

Lovely clean premesis, gorgeous food and lovely staff. Very impressed :)

Just picked 3 piece meal up the chicken looks and tastes like it has been thru the fryer more than once total inedibile this isvthe second time i have been given an in ediblie meal will definitely not be going back

This place is a joke, I was there today and the service was bad. I ordered 10 flat chicken wings and got a mixed bag of chicken( whatever you want to call them) and it wasn't chicken wings.Took them back and told them I paid for flat chicken wings and not a mix, got told off ( don't give us an attitude) waited 7 minutes for the the right ones and only ended up with 8 chicken wings instead of 10. Never going back again.

We have visited the site a couple of times and they have not attended us with an hour left to close.

Touchscreens stop after check out so you stand twice to order I'd use them, otherwise cold chips and a warm burger is just what the wife loves. The standard for KFC

Lovely chicken pieces to enjoy 😉

Long wait 20 minutes, missed items from order and served wrong drinks. Though all rectified when asked. Staff where friendly and apologetic

Absolutely vile got served uncooked chicken and got told i could either wait 15 minutes for the next batch to be cooked or have more uncooked chicken as they “are all like that” also asked for a krushem in the drive through was told there was none and when i went inside the restaurant the staff were drinking them and also serving people krushems the staff were really rude! Got a refund and went to McDonalds instead

Best krushem I've ever had from kfc

Absolutely terrible.. ordered through drive through and was told to wait in layby..we waited for 30 minutes and nobody came out and nobody told us we would have to wait... So went into the KFC and complained and everybody was facing away from till and empty inside so had to get a man's attention to be told sorry we had to cook it... And I said but why in earth whilst we ordered it did you not say we would have to wait in a boiling car for 30 mins(yesterday) he didn't really seem bothered by my complaint and I said you have another 4 cars you have told to wait as well which is disgusting customer service and I was not at all happy... I waited another 10 minutes and a lady came out with much better manners then the man inside but they got my order wrong... What a absolute joke... I complained again and asked due to wait for them to add a few freebies which she did and came out another 5 mins later... So in all 45 minutes and in my book this is ridiculous and the manger needs to take a look at there staff and train them better... Absolutely disgusting customer service from KFC... DONT BOTHER GOING .

Drive thru, bad. Service, bad. Communication, bad. Always miss something from your order. Chicken, great. What a shame

Good chicken 🐔. I was a little surprised there was no where to sit outside but great staff

Freezing cold chips greasy chicken waiting for ages to get served even though it was empty

Can't beat a Bargain Bucket can yea !! 🍟🍗🥤

Terrible ordered Gravy and mash with our meals and they gave us cold chips and beans instead!

Drive thru is a joke. You wait for so long and there is no apology for the wait. Order a delivery and it's nearly always missing something or cold or the food is overdone. So disappointing after years of only having mcdonalds if you wanted something fast, Kirkby now has possibly the worst kfc

Check your drive through order before you leave. Got home to find our family only had 2 smaller than normal potions of chips where we should have had 4 in the 14 piece bargain bucket that we ordered. 2 stars as the Chicken was nice, but slow service and short changed won't see us back at this takeaway again.

One of the worst KFC units in the UK. I placed an order for home delivery via Deliveroo and waited for over 1 hour until I canceled the order and decided to go buy it myself. Look at the situation they deal with the drivers who deliver our food, it was raining a lot and they didn't let any of them in to wait for the order. I talked to some of them and they were waiting over 40 minutes for an order. Is this the standard KFC service?

Went in on Sunday early evening and the service was great and the staff were very helpful and polite, not just a one off as the same service i had 3 weeks earlier. Top class from start to finish and the food was superb thank you

Fast service however wish you could customise on just eat as I hate mayo!

Treated this branch as a joke for a while, as it's the slowest drive thru in the country. Honestly, 3 cars in front of you is approximately a 45 minute wait. Yesterday we went in and tried to use the order screens. They were broken. Connection issues. But went to the counter. Quick, efficient and lovely staff. Really nice people and fresh food. Wish the daredevil bites matched up to their name. About as hot as ketchup. Hot rods were the best they ever did.

Was excited when this first opened to finally have a KFC here but since opening teething problems still haven't gone away, from ridiculously long wait times for fast food to missing items off orders it's just not good. Hopefully can sort their issues out but for now I'll be avoiding.

This is not fast food, waited 25 mins for food

Only ordered twice threw Deliveroo both times something missing just frustrates the life out off you seriously how hard is it it placing chicken in a bag apart from that foods nice

Took 1 hour to get order. Absolute joke

Not a review on food as that was OK, but this week ive been a couple of times on my lunch hour and ordered the same thing today I noticed the price was different and just assumed the price had changed, when I got home I checked and they had added a donation on my bill to comic relief. Dont get me wrong I am fine with this as the amount was very little and I am all for giving to charity, it was the fact I wasn't asked permission to do this that has annoyed me, in my opinion it's basically theft at the end of the day they took my money without asking!

Best KFC I have had for a long time staff very polite and attentive meal was hot and delicious will be going back

Had boneless fillet and bone was in it was enjoying till but into it lashed 30q worth bin

Used drive thru, young girl on drive thru was very efficient and professional. Food was well cooked and fresh. Will be visiting this KFC again.

Very nice restaurant indeed, probably the nicest. Clean and tidy, good food served by friendly team.

Just KFC and the chicken 🐔 is a bit wet

This newly built KFC is an absolute joke and deserve all the 1* reviews it's getting, I can only imagine it's a franchised shop run by total Muppets. Three times I've been there and on each occasion I left without any food. The first time I went they had somehow run out of all the Chicken at 3pm in the afternoon, and the last two occasions I tried to buy food they had shut early, last night 11.02.2022 was the final straw when I arrived at 9pm to find all the doors and drive through locked even though it was supposed to be open until 10pm, it's a bloody good job I drove there in my own car and never got a taxi!!

Service is very good. Nice staff.

Absolutely rubbish ,chicken pieces so small coating tasteless,gravy a pot for£1-80 about 6 tablespoons I'm afraid I'll never go there again

Really friendly staff and very helpful and food is OK

Disorganized, staff messing around behind counter. Got our order wrong twice.

It took an hour to get served not exactly what I'd call fast food

Ordered 2 meals both with gravy, 1 comes with mash 1 beans, how hard is it to put the right orders together? Stone cold soggy chips and a piece of deep fried chicken bones how can a new ish store be so bad!

Waited at the front of the queue inside for 30 minutes and order still wasn't taken. Kept saying, I'll be with you in a minute. Complained to manager and still didn't get order taken. Loads of people complaining inside about waiting time and wrong orders. Be better going to Aintree or Lancs

Just waited over 30 mins in car park to find out tills sent working had to go inside and order waited a further 40 mins to receive my order wrong I would AVOID haven't got a clue whats going on

Always closes dine-in two hours early with no notice, and my current experience was soured by the lack of table service despite ordering it - had to go up and collect my order instead of having it brought to me Disappointing is an understatement

Been waiting 3 hours now for food to be delivered won't be ordering from here again

Добра храна но много бавно се обслужва!

Long waiting time, they always run out of rice boxes. The drive to the nearest on east lancs is worth it, at least you can get what you want and you ll spend the same time with the driving time included

This KFC is an embarrassment to the company, you need to pick the right times and you will get a nice meal. Warning don't go after 2pm though orders will always go wrong and very long waits. There staffing is unexperienced I use to say, but it been couple of months since it's opened.

Very poor KFC worst I've been to 1 hrs to wait for food . No gravy No corn also..

Food missing twice now waited in Kirby KFC 25mins food cold didn't apply my NHS discount because he forgot , no milk AGAIN for tea ERM.... Go buy some!!; kirkby always gets the worst of these of these franchises

How is the drive through experience so slow. 40 minutes for some chicken 😫

Never order online from this kfc. Especially after 6pm they just don't place your order. It usually takes 1 hour+ to prepare your order, absolutely joke. There is always a queue of 4-10 delivery drivers waiting outside for almost 1 hour just for 1 order. It doesn't matter if you buy though just eat, deliveroo or uber eats, all of them your order will be delayed because the problem is management or low staff, it's not a problem with apps or delivery drivers.

Great food but the wait is a pain

I think the comments already raised about poor management and service speak for themselves. I was incredibly excited to have a new KFC around around corner from my house, but this particular one is bad. Never have anything left (even mid-day) and like others have stated, the waiting time is embarrassing. Sort yourselves out KFC, you're meant to be a great company. 👍

Do not order online. Ordered two box meals only one came with a wrap in and fries. No drinks, no zinger burger, no side, no popcorn chicken. This is not the first time either. £25 for a wrap and fries disgusting.

Very busy which lead to slow service but the food was great.

Worst KFC ever. Since opening the wait time in an evening is beyond a joke. Excuse of no staff is always used but in honesty its very badly managed and has plenty of staff. I counted at least 6 just on the front part serving good and taking orders the other day. On the same day, after asking about the delay in getting food, the manager almost proudly stated the wait time was 45-60 minutes. Yes. 45-60 minutes! I would not wait that long in a restaurant and it is beyond acceptable at a fast food establishment. KFC please bring in new management, and extra training for the staff as this is beyond acceptable and embarrassing.
