What a f@€£ing disaster. Placed order at 11:30 for delivery. Told 45-60 minutes. No problem for us. Confirmed speed point will be sent. At 12:35 no show. Called. Call went to Customer Service. Was told they would call the store & get back to us. Haven't heard from them (Customer Service) since. At 1pm got a call to say that the speed point was broken. We can come to the store to do our order. Lunch was over so we all got chips from the vending machine. At 2 we get a call from reception informing us our order was here. We decided to accept the order since it was here. The order was cold, packed very poorly in the bag and was incorrect. Accepted it because some of the people were very hungry. Never using this place again.

  • Christiaan B

Worst Possible service ever. Made a order for zinger wings oh sorry no zinger wings... Mash and gravy then? oh sorry no gravy I finally got a order placed Paid and waited for 1 whole Hour and i get to the front of the drive through, Then they said there is a problem no normal burgers only Zingers. While at the back I see them working with BOTH ZINGER WINGS AND GRAVY and now cant do My order I just asked for a refund and then I got offered gravy and zingers I just took my refund as I will not support such a horrid place. And would urge anyone else to stay away!!!

  • Tommy Sephton

Staff is useless and they only had chicken, no burgers, no mash, just plain chicken. When asked why their speaker is broken or why there was no one at the first window to take orders, they simply said that they only need one window. I asked what they were going to do to keep customers from getting upset due to the lack of service and lack of food, but all I got was a dumb struck expression and two gaping mouths. Clearly the staff needs to be trained better and the facility needs the proper stock.

  • Sanvir Somers

This was the worst experience I have ever had at KFC. Firstly the store does not accept online orders for drive tru pick up. So I did my order on the app for in store pick up. After waiting for 15min watching my name on the board. I was told that online orders don't come onto the system yet it was on the screen "being prepared". Then I was told that it would be prepared now. 10 minutes later I got my meal only to find that the chicken had No Salt. This was extremely disappointing.

  • Ghorgron's Hideout.

I am so satisfied with the service I got after there was a small mistake on my order. The manager at Pinetown (old main road), Nomonde was swift to reply to my complaint and gave me great service upon arrival. I wish to find this kind of service in all Kfc chains. Keep up the great work guys, 5 * for the friendly and helpful service of everyone at kfc pinetown old main road. See you soon. :) :) :) :) :)

  • Crystaliznwave

The store happened to be closing much earlier than the closing time with no signage of why and the staff just seemed reluctant to help me understand why they were closing, why they said that there was no meat nor why we were not allowed to use the restroom which was needed by my toddler. Of the order that I eventually received, I must say ghd kernels recipe still did well.

  • Roger Go

Very poor service standing long long more than hour in queue only to be told that they our of stock on items on display. Also waited long to get the food. They wwee understaffed but very apologetic. They took major strain on the Sunday morning of this comrades marathon. Clearly they did not plan for the additional patronage of comrades supporters. Extremely frustrated by KFC. The poor staff was also overwhelmed and helpless.

  • Qhawe Majozi

I don't understand why these guys keep their doors open when there's nothing to trade. Yes they close at 10pm currently, but I wa there around 9:45pm and there was no one at the counter, I had to be told by cleaners that there was nothing in stock or available to trade. Been very disappointed with this facility since it was renovated. Maybe they need to revamp the whole staff as well not just the walls.

  • andile Mbele

The service was terrible long wait at the drive through. Only to realise when you collect your order that the group of ladies are more concerned with chatting than pushing orders. This is after I have requested the manager to manage the drive through lead time, all fell into deaf ears I will be trying a different KFC next time, the service was very bad.

  • Sduduzo Gumede

In Pinetown, the last good kfc is in pinecrest mall. The rest, and this one joining doesn't have krushers because machines aren't working, the order/collect system isn't working anymore so no matter what you buy, you have to hold a second queue for collecting it. Sometimes they start preparing your order when you finally get to the start of the line.

  • Andile Mkhize

They don't pay attention on the drive thur orders, I came and ordered Sweer chili rap and Street Wise 3 and they punched in street wise 2 instead. When I told the lady who was giving me my order said there is nothing she could do, so I left there with something I never ordered and my complain completely disregarded!!!!

  • Minenhle Bhengu

The drive thru que can be super slow. You get a mixture of staff, some good and some with attitude. Atleast they dont give you grief about the preferred specifics of your order e.g types of pieces preferred. They usually dont give you tomatoe sauce so you leave with dry fries and figure it all out your own.

  • Nombulelo Nombulelo

It was terrible, too salty and dry. The lady that was serving us didn't even give us saviet tissue, vinegar and tomato sauce yet we bought streetwise 2. The staff also have a tendency of closing the driveway through with crates, I have seen that twice. I wouldn't recommend anyone to use that kfc.

  • Anne Kalytta

It's a KFC, they're all pretty much the same, you know - ice cream machine isn't working!! I'm not sure if the staff find it an aggravation to use it / clean it or KFC never do maintenance but I'd be absolutely astounded to find on that actually serves the crushers or ice cream.

  • mogaswe ntsoane

Bought a boxmaster meal , only a piece of chicken and the round potato with sauce, that’s the worst meal ever had, much disappointed, if you short of item atleast let us know, that ur meal won’t have cheese or something

Horrible, the place has lost touch with the service they used to have. We asked for street wise 5 plus one but only received street wise 5 and the normal salt and peppers were not put inside our pack and we only new that when we got home

  • Quinn Latiffah

I've never seen such a treatment on a drive thru!!! I wanted a meal that has small burgers and the manner in which they served me made me felt like a Queen. The 5 starts are for Xoli or Xolile at the last window, what a bubbly someone,

  • Syanda Xolani

Not so good The lady that helped us showed no care that we are customers and they made us wait for more than 20 minutes with out telling us what's going on But maybe next time they will be nice to customers …

Recently was revamped so one of the best KFC outlets out there the chicken is not oily and the chips don't taste like they have been fried in old oil tastes good and nice and fresh.

  • Taylor Schwab

Central and highly accessible. If you missed this location there must have been load shedding. A relatively new store still in its infancy so why not try them out and support local international business.

  • Buhle Msweli

just an okay experience, the service isnt bad but its not consistent, some days the food looks and tastes fresh some days it doesn't. nonetheless the service is pretty good and everyone is friendly.

  • Phahamo P

Appalling service, seemed like the employees were on a 'go-slow'. I had my food there, it came without any salt and tomato sauce...when I went to ask for it, I was told that they had ran out of it.

  • Sbongile Mbele

I waited about 30minutes for streetwise on the 24th there was a client who ordered a big order, and cashier was unable to punch that big amount, so there was one till open Otherwise meat is nice

  • Maxine Thyssen

The most useless, incompetent, pathetic excuse for a franchise KFC. Never have stock, slow, rude, unapologetic. Mind blowingly disastrous! I would rate LESS than one star if it were possible!

  • lungile Ngubane

Service extremely slow they prepare while you are at the collection point.Bad experience and in Pinetown it's Just opposite MC Donald's you can count the cars moving on their drive through...

  • Thobeka Madiba

The food is nice.. But every time when we go there we wait for too long in the drive through, other KFC 's are not like this one, waiting time is ridiculous hence I am rating them 2.

  • Sanele Mgaga

Greasy fried chicken that's what it is! You buy streetwise 3 you get 2 regular pieces and 1 zinger winger what's that? Never returning unfortunately

Workers do no care about customers when its after 8pm always say its out when they can cook it in 10min they want to close shop early every day and close the drive thru very early

  • Kulungile Nkosi

Pretty accessible, but sometimes they don't have stock of foods e.g zinger wings. I usually phone in before going, it avoids disappointment. Generally good service from staff

  • Neil Campbell

My change was R70.40. The 40c was kept by the cashier because there was no change. Not my problem. How much money are they making by keeping the small change. Just saying

  • warren faulkner

Very bad service, card machine on drive through occasionally out of order. Food when going through driveway at times has taken us 15min to receive and longer when inside.

  • Michelle Norman

Staff are slow. We asked for Manger he didn't come out to assist us with our complaints we waited over 45mins for our orders while they mainly focused on the drive thru.
