"Must be under new management, as didn't recognise any of the staff in the drive through or kitchen. Service was fast, food was good, lovely smile on their faces and didn't miss or forget anything in our ordered. KFC Johnsonville you are back iny good books"

"This isn’t just a KFC. This is the KFC. My hometown KFC. I’ve lived away for over 10 years now, and in that time I’ve tried countless KFCs. But nothing, and I mean nothing, comes close to this one. Every wicked wing is succulent perfection. Every zinger burger is juicy. No soggy buns, no overcooked chicken — just consistent, mouthwatering greatness. Even writing this, my mouth is watering. Sometimes I deliberately avoid my local KFC in Sydney because I know it won’t live up to this one. I want to feel it when I come home — that first bite back is always something special. This place has been with me through the highs and the lows. Elite Kentucky Fried Chicken"

"What a change. New staff since last visit sometime ago I must admit ..... staff superb with new attitude ..... difficult to achieve with food prep but chicken still needs to be fresher and not so dried out, but much better than previous. Worth a visit, yes."

"I visited the Johnsonville KFC and amongst other things I ordered a Zinger Stacker Burger. I regularly order this Burger at various KFCs around Wellington and other parts of NZ. Today's Burger was the best constructed and best tasting burger I have had and the staff were very friendly and clearly were enjoying their work and good at customer service. All in all a good visit and meal all round."
