01 The story, in three paragraphs

Why everyone keeps coming back.

Located conveniently on El Camino Real in Santa Clara, KFC offers a mouthwatering taste of authentic fried chicken excellence in a fast-food setting. Specializing in the iconic Original Recipe® fried chicken, this location invites you to indulge in a signature Southern-style feast where every bite is a delightful harmony of herbs and spices that KFC has perfected over the decades.

The menu here is a celebration of chicken in all its crispy, juicy glory. Whether you’re sharing the Taste Of KFC 14 Pc. Deal—a generous bucket balancing tender drums and thighs—or craving the perfect personal meal like the Zinger Sandwich combo, known for its bold, spicy marinated chicken fillet served on a pillowy brioche bun, there’s something to satisfy every craving. Fans of variety will appreciate the Chicken & Tenders Feast, boasting six pieces of crispy Original Recipe® chicken alongside six golden hand-breaded tenders accompanied by signature dips. For those hungry for a classic comfort combo, the 4 Pc. Tenders Combo pairs crispy tenders with a buttery biscuit, a side of your choosing, and a refreshing medium drink — ideal for a quick, flavorful meal on the go.

Beyond the food, this KFC stands out for its welcoming and attentive service. Reviewers like Jonathan Gauntt praise the freshness and taste here as incomparable, with the chicken somehow tasting better than other locations. Staff members such as Danny have been highlighted for their kindness, going above and beyond by personally helping customers with large orders and greeting everyone with genuine warmth. The atmosphere is friendly and inviting, perfect for families, solo diners, or groups looking for satisfying comfort food in a clean, well-maintained space.

While the flavor and service shine, some guests have noted that during warmer days, the dining area’s temperature control can be less than ideal. Nevertheless, this minor setback doesn’t overshadow the consistently excellent food quality and quick service that keep customers returning time and time again.

Whether you’re rushing through a busy day or settling in for a casual meal, KFC at 1353 El Camino Real delivers a trusted taste experience that promises crispy, juicy bites of happiness with every visit.

By far the best KFC. Food is always freshly made and delicious. Service is always outstanding. I eat ate other KFCs and for some reason the chicken tastes better here.

Excellent quality and service, the downside dining in the store during a hot day. The air conditioning is either broken or turned off. I feel bad for the employees having to work in such poor conditions. I’m surprised they don’t have a heat stroke. Can’t the owners or area managers get the ac on for both the diners and their employees? It’s sad really. I’ll go back in the winter.

They had no hot sauce and instead of giving me the cookie that comes with the fill up box I got a biscuit.

The customer service is awesome. Even when they get difficult customers they always keep a smile on their face. I come here once a month for my 2 youngest children. I would recommend it!
