The Davis KFC is located in South Davis off of the I-80 exit "Richards Blvd - South Davis." There is plenty of parking, indoor seating and a drive thru. Near the entrance on a bench is the Colonel.

KFC is a fast food chain that specializes in fried chicken but also serves other items. There are chicken twist (like a burrito), chicken salads, chicken sandwiches, chicken wings (honey BBQ, hot, boneless or bones) and popcorn chicken. Some side items include mashed potatoes with gravy, cole slaw, corn on the cob, biscuits, macaroni salad, and potato wedges. For dessert try a sundae pie, pilaf or cheesecake.

Check your mail box for coupons. They'll also have coupons at the counter. They do not check the coupons or keep them so you can reuse them. Use your Super Saver Card to get a free 20 oz soft drink with purchase of $3 or more OR 8 piece meal for $13.99.

Tuesdays are Chicken & Corn Tuesday = A leg, a thigh, a side of mashed potatoes with gravy, corn on the cob, and a biscuit for $2.99. Wednesdays are Country Steak Wednesday = A country steak covered in gravy (steak is actually chicken), mashed potatoes and a biscuit for $2.99. Drinks are NOT included in either special.

Just for note, KFC actually stands for Kentucky Fried Chicken.

There also used to be a combo KFC/A&W in Dixon.

This isn't the first location for KFC in town. It used to be located where The Lofts are now.

Controversy

Several suppliers of KFC have been investigated for animal abuse, often prompted by videos taken in secret at the processing plants. While this is not KFC doing the abuse, some of their "suppliers of the year" were accused of having the problem. As Dan Rather said about the video: "there's no mistaking what [the video] depicts: cruelty to animals, chickens horribly mistreated before they're slaughtered for a fast-food chain". These allegations have led some to call for a boycott.

The best things on the menu are the popcorn chicken and the BBQ Chicken Sandwich, I believe it is called.

It might be just me, but I find their wraps delicious. — AndreyGoder

Back in the day, they used to offer free popcorn chicken as a promotion. Keep your eyes open for this, as my buddies and i used to exploit it left and right. — DerekTam

Pretty good for a KFC. It's relatively clean and well run and the food is adequate. I prefer extra crispy to original recipe.

Check the mail for coupons they send, it will save you money. Furthermore, they don't usually collect the coupons when you use them, so you can reuse them as long as they haven't expired. The next closest fast food fried chicken is the Popeye's in Dixon. — AndrewMatey

2005-05-13 15:50:00 Last time I was there, my chicken strips were RAW on the inside. So break them open before you eat them. —AshleyOrsaba

2005-07-12 21:45:36 KFC has jumped into the $1 sandwich market and has a "Snacker" that is delicious... dare I say, much better than CJ's spicy chicken sammy. —KenNeville

2005-07-20 03:38:25 Fried Chicken in Davis. Score. —AndreHarris

2006-05-14 11:45:47 They've run out of chicken all of the two times that I've gone there after 9:30 pm! This boggles the hell out of me! —CathleenLu

2006-11-02 22:00:51 I liked my visit here. The staff were very friendly. After I ordered, the cashier gave me a free drink because I had been waiting in line for a while. —MattLow

2006-12-18 07:33:39 The bowl is quite good. —NickSchmalenberger

2007-03-03 03:49:35 Does anyone know if they've switched to non transfat oil locally? —GrumpyoldGeek

2007-03-15 12:58:04 on tuesdays..the chicken and corn combo for $2.99 is a steal..if you dont like the corn, they let u substitute it for other sides but only sometimes..depends on the cashier —DonaldJaye

2007-05-11 19:20:15 Spectacular. And now its trans-fat free. The staff has gotten exceptionally friendly the last few times I've gone too. —William.Peacock

Not everything on the menu is trans fat free. Other foods, such as the biscuits, still contain trans fats. —AnnaJones

2007-05-31 08:23:05 HIGH SODIUM CONTENT in all of their foods except maybe the cole slaw/salad. I would love to eat here, but their chicken taste like a salt lick! —RobRobRob

2007-07-19 18:50:42 yuk!!!!!!!!!! —dickjones

2007-08-04 03:42:14 If really in the mood it is ok but i would rather travel to get good chicken like churches or popeyes —Brians

2007-09-25 21:03:08 It's bad for you. You shouldn't eat the skin but you know... when you want fried chicken, where else are you going to get your fix? KFC. —atwong

2007-11-16 01:31:26 they'll rob you. beware, if you buy 6 or more pieces of chicken make sure that you check that you got the right number of chicken before you drive home. I paid for an 8-piece chicken dinner meal and when I got home I only got 6 pieces of chicken. I'm angry, where can I make a complaint? —kikao

2008-05-28 22:31:33 Worst KFC in America. It seems like something goes wrong every single time I'm here. The service is so s-l-o-w—even when they're not busy. And they're always out of everything. After making you wait forever and not having anything, they don't even offer you anything to make up for it. At least, I have never been offered anything. It's actually kind of good this place is so horrible. Keeps me from going back. And, you too. This S*** isn't health food. —CurlyGirl26

2008-07-10 16:43:34 Gag me with a spoon... —SunjeetBaadkar

- I think you mean spork.

2008-07-29 01:06:56 The staff is out of control at least they were awhile back... sometimes I swear they were stoned thats probably why service is slow. Dude, put the weed down you're at work, I don't know really for sure but they all acted like they were so whatever. I never had them running out of things unless I went at closing time then the shit was all gone and what was left I wouldn't force it upon my worst enemy. And yea its fast food and its unhealthy just like all fast food, of course it doesn't help that they still use MSG thats why everything is so salty. The new staff I think is alright, but I really don't go there anymore so it don't matter. —csmith
