Usually crap service..very slow...when gunmac is right across the road, why even go here?

Once I tried to go in at like 4pm and it was closed and some woman inside just stared at me so i said, fuck this and went to maccas i think.

[Busnerd]

Very average, took long to serve, and deliver the food. When I got it it was incorrect. 5 from me.

Things have picked up here. But is still quicker to get out of car & walk in to order. Actually quite quiet during the weekdays.

[Urbos Rider]

Usually very slow, and staff mostly consist of confused Foreign students.....

[bubzie]

The drive-thru seems to confuse most people.

And the service is slow.


And they forgot my chips. (Which i only realized about half way home..doh.)

[Busnerd]

Maybe you shouldn't get food at KFC gungahlin to live in calwell, unless you were going to male bubzies house which is in gunners and disregard this comment, lol

Things were again slow, I wonder how they'll do once Gungahlin College & the motel behind McDonald's open?

When I was down at KFC today, the manager was talking to staff about specials using a customers mobile. I thought maybe it had something to do with Foursquare, or an app for iPhone/Droid users. A bit of further investigation has revealed you check in using Facebook to gain the special, just flash your phone to a staff member when ordering.

Not sure how long this has been going on for, but looking at their facebook page and the fact that people were being "inducted" on it, I would say not long.

Announced this morning by Facebook Australia and New Zealand: https://www.facebook.com/FacebookAUNZ/posts/10150260388647415 (only visible when logged in)

Starting today Commonwealth Bank, 7-Eleven, Westfield and KFC will be able to offer you check-in deals when you check in to their place on Facebook. Finding deals near you is easy. On touch.facebook.com (on HTML5-enabled phones) or the latest version of Facebook for iPhone & Android, touch "Places" and then touch "Check In." Nearby Places with deals have a yellow icon. Where will you check-in today?

Wonder what the deal at the bank is

I don't know if it was Oporto opening in Gungahlin or Gunners peps have turned off KFC, but the lines is a LOT shorter ast 12:00 weekdays & the drive through is just on empty. While McDonalds across the road is alot busier, back a few years back (before Oporto & Gungahlin College) service was terrible. But with more people & more competition things have gone down for this store.

Tried the KFC at Rosehill in Sydney. It is just like every other KFC is Australia. Except it has KFC Express, which is a self service machine. So basically you select your order from the options & pay by EFTPOS (only payment option allowed) & you are given an order number. Then the staff get it ready & (normally) call your number out. This store has had it for quite a number of months (before the staff member I asked had started).

This is the sort of thing that KFC at Woden & Tuggeranong could do with.

[Sir Pompously]

Yes there are a few stores with that now (As well as McDonald's stores with a similar set up). All stores need this system, it is really good!

[Busnerd]

Sydney Airport Gateway store also has this, as well as being the only store with KFC AM (Breakfast menu)

Looks like a KFC is being planned for Emu Bank. On the corner near the skate park.

[Buzz Killington]

Well, it was the only major chain without a presence on the fast food strip.

Should be easier for Belco residents to avoid the Hawker KFC now! I'm amazed that one has lasted so long given it's pretty much a suburban location and not exactly a major shopping centre.

KFC Canberra Centre has now closed, presumably permanently; as a Civic worker, I am now travelling to KFC Dickson using Light Rail each Monday, which is the day when I treat myself to an Ultimate Box for lunch. I am unaware of why it closed; the store was always the busiest of the smaller upstairs food court near Rebel Sport.

[Bus 400]

Looks like KFC Canberra Centre is on the move again.

I remember when they were just near the then new Canberra Centre bus stop.

That's absurd

the taste of kfc has changed in the last few years.  I don't know if they are still using the same secret herbs and spices, or if the type of oil has changed or what - but the taste has definitely changed.

Going back a few years. Remember the "all you can eat" kfc buffet that used to be in civic.  Use to pig out there a fair bit.

Going back even further, is anyone here old enough to remember the kfc bread rolls used to be yellow?

Next week, I am going to try KFC at Botany St, Phillip for my weekly treat; unfortunately it is not particularly close to an outbound R4 stop, however it is not too far to walk to an inbound stop for the return to the office. This will be my first visit to the southern side of Canberra since December 2017; generally there is no reason to travel to that side of Lake Burley Griffin.

You should go to Tuggeranong's KFC, their chips taste like the ocean there. Oh wait, that's the smell of the sewerage in the lake going up your nose as you eat the food :s

Two years on, and the KFC at Gold Ck Village is finally taking shape, should be opening soon - unable to find anything official on the internet regarding a specific opening date.

I was informed that the Dendy food court will be closing in it's entirety and being replaced with some kind of entertainment precinct including a Bowling Alley, I am unsure of any other planned stores.

So it looks like KFC and other food court stores up there will be either packing up and leaving or looking nearby for an alternative venue, personally I believe Garema place would be better for these stores, lots of foot traffic, cheaper rents, ability to open later and have outdoor and indoor dining, currently most people only pass through the area to get to The Canberra Centre as there is nothing to stop for, that said, there isn't a whole lot of shops empty there, besides near the Merry Go Round where the newsagent used to be, however I am unsure if that building is set to be demolished as it looks empty.

This afternoon I travelled to KFC Phillip for lunch; instead of my regular Ultimate Box, I ordered a Zinger Box with a piece of Original Recipe chicken instead of Wicked Wings. This was the most delicious combo I have had at KFC yet; it combines the spicier taste of the Zinger Burger with the flavour of the chicken drumstick.

My journeys to and from KFC were both utilising R4 buses; the first bus travelled on was a steer tag, the return journey was a green articulated bus.

[Barry Drive]

Looks like KFC will be opening in Garema Place.
