Reviews of KFC Cowgate - Ponteland Road

S. P.

The food is good and is what you would expect. It's a very busy outlet so speed is their priority. If you're wanting to sit inside, it's a little bit grubby as the tables aren't necessarily cleared and cleaned down so it's not a comfortable seating environment. The self serve screens weren't working so there was a lot of congestion by the counter, particularly with couriers a plenty.

K. S.

service was quick.friendly staff.food was decent and hot.good deals to choose from.

A. R.

It was nice and quiet,got what I was looking for,so it was just a in and out. Big place,but fairly quiet. Which is good for me. Lol

C. H.

Good location but was a bit dirty. We had a bit of an upset stomach after having eaten there. Could've been a coincidence tho.

E. W.

The food is what you'd expect, it's KFC. The service excellent, the store clean and the staff friendly.

A. D. M.

The boneless buckets are wonderful. Best chicken fastfood in the world.

c. m.

Clean and tidy staff were great and food was delicious

A. C.

B. T.

J. K.

Nice little place to visit

C. R.

Chicken lovely chips not nice at all and social distancing system to complicated

C. S.

Food tasty and hot. Staff were nice and clearly rushed off their feet. The dining area was a dump. Bins overflowing and messy tables everywhere.

G. S.

They now do a lunchtime special, small burger, fries and 2 wings £1.99. Bargain....

A. A.

Went around 3PM , with help out scheme. Was very quiet

S. H.

Quick service via the drive through with hot food.

D. M.

Could not order by phone app and QR code wouldn't scan using in store menu it was difficult to get it to order and add to my cart too many glitches, quite a long wait due to online orders food was good once I got it

V. C.

It's not much to say...tasty mixed boxes,gravy,chips

M. M.

P. D.

Simple menu get what you asked fortastes good

M. H.

Tasty as usual. Quick service.

T. C.

Clean and good service although area seems rough

M. M.

Small place, good service and drive thru

T. B.

I order the boneless chicken bucket. Good price for the amount of food, but I would say the big pieces of chicken were heavy on the salt, and the gravy was too salty as well. The chips were fantastic, really nice ones. And the costumer service was really good, on both times I visited. Due to the costumer service and prices, I will come back, but I would order something else, because I just can't handle the amount of salt on the boneless chicken.

P. S.

Love KFC but this place is run down and dirty.

c.

absolutely love kfc bang on lads

S. A.

The kfc at metrocentre is 100% better

D. F.

Love their food and prices are affordable.

S. P. C.

Clean ...very helpful staff...quick service

C. D.

Big, handy KFC - just mind the greasy floors if you go inside!

E. T.

Too bad they don't bacon... But it was nice anyway

A. D.

Nice KFC with friendly, polite staff.

G. A.

Food is good but ALWAYS check your order as they forget items most of the time which is a massive annoyance. Freezing inside of you choose to eat in.

S. S.

Great place to eat at if your looking to get yourself some quick food, I’ve been there many times and the food is great however the workers there sometimes get the order wrong. This happens occasionally so I would advice that you check your order before leaving to ensure that everything is correct. In conclusion I would recommend you go there if you are rushed and need some food.

B. V.

Always quiter than most other KFC branches (especially early on) which is a bonus and food is consistently excellent. Sometimes a delay in receiving order when using the drive-thru but staff always helpful and friendly so worth the short wait!

A.

Food tasted fine ,portions are poor for money but that's my normal view pandemic or not you can get a large pizza for same money & feel stuffed, due to pandemic traffic was chaos I realize it's been difficult of course for all businesses

O. A.

Food was okay. Think they could improve the dine in experience. No condiments quickly available as salt pepper napkins etc have been removed. Wouldn't want to queue again to get something you should have with every meal.

R. S.

Dead quiet, fast service. Noice one!

A. s.

They have ususally pretty speedy service and the food is nearly always great. It is local so I go often. Previously a while back I had issues with them missing parts of the order and not realising till i got home. I knocked one star off because they NEVER answer the phone. So you can't even complain unless you go to their head office. So I now always check at the window when I get my order. Best to do that to avoid disappointment! Otherwise everything else is good.

J. C.

Queue took a long time to go down at the drive through and we were asked to park up to wait for our food. However we didn't wait long at all and the young man who brought the food to our car was very pleasant and apologised for our wait.

M. H.

Friendly service when busy and all food was very hot and fresh. Bins full and needed quick wipe otherwise very good.

G. K.

Service was good food was great and we can pick up to take home

P. S.

I love KFC, great staff and very fast at serving customers

A. A.

This a KFC Halal branch , So if you like KFC and want halal food you can visit this branch. There are Parking spots for customers. Also it serve drive throw. You can order using the app and come to collect it is more quicker than order from the drive throw.

H. A.

Excellent halal KFC run by not well trained staff! Order was missing bits and discovered that when I arrived home so check your order well while in the shop.

A. H.

Long queues for drive through, very slow service. Place really rundown and needs refurbishing with proper lights. We didn’t get what we ordered, it looked a bit chaotic. Food was fine though.

C. P.

Love the food here but I recommend you check your bag before you leave as I've gotten home with my food to find I have either been given the wrong food or I haven't been given what I've Payed for. & I had to have my car seat cleaned as the put my Gravy in the bag upside down & it soaked through the bag & all over my seat... that cost £30 to have done!!! Obviously I was not happy about that. But apart from that I love my KFC. Just wish the staff could get it correct as it is all on a screen clear as day what has been ordered. I even had to help remove a Pigeon from just outside the kitchen in the drive through. I don't believe it made it into the kitchen but I don't know for sure.

A. R.

Drive through was our if order. May have been the poorest KFC I've had ever. Self service asked me for my pin and the keypad didn't work. :(

A. 1. (.

Most of the time slow, anything but fast food. If you compare this with McDonald’s the difference in organisation is immense.

M. C.

Friendly staff, unfortunately couldn't get what I required as the shop had run out

D. L.

Got two 9 piece buckets for £4.99 which is available only on Tuesdays. Was still hot by the time I got home 15 minutes later. Its a great treat for our kids. They always love KFC. Great value for money and if you download the KFC app you can earn free stuff and even money off

C. B.

Very tasty chicken meals were enjoyed by each of us tonight. The food was delicious and the service was very good indeed. Will definitely be calling there again in the very near future! 10/10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I. G.

Great food, on the odd occasion the person working the drive through has no motivation. A point to make is to always check your order because many times there's a mistake or something missing.

C. B.

Service a bit slow, I'm not sure who they prioritise but three people got their food before me

A. h.

bit of an awkward location to get to and leave from, the area surrounding is often full of teens hanging about, i wouldn't recommend walking here. Feels dirty and lots of mess near and around the car park. Inside however, lovely and tidy, feels very clean. service is quite slow, as per KFC restaurants. Staff are happy to help should you have an wquestions or concerns

J. W.

Ita KFC everything you'd expect.

D. W.

Quick friendly service. Food wise, the best KFC we have had in a long while. Much improved from our last visit several years ago.

B. B.

Reviewed from the perspective of someone who likes KFC. Drive through is usually very quick. Not often big crowds here, can be a little tricky to get to/away from if not from the area. Staff are canny. Place looks clean from what I could see. Otherwise typical KFC chicken.

R. B.

Enjoyed the chicken did not order chips

B. A.

Well if you load chicken than KFC is the place as hopefully we can go inside and dine now as tbe lockdown is getting easier but also the delivery fro here is lime really fast so s do recommend it

D. M.

I enjoy using kfc from time to time but always check your order after drive through in Byker. Newcastle as order is almost always wrong. But cannot knock the food great food. Love the salads so much variety.

I. L.

Drive thru not working, unless you're in a range rover then you can use it. The rest of us have to join the long queue inside. Only one till operating inside. First time the chips have actually been warm. Quick service once eventually reached the front of the queue. Zinger sauce only on a small part of the burger

S. I.

Great service is always guaranteed at this restaurant. Staff are always a pleasure to talk to.

M. R.

Good customer service. Fast service.

K. G.

Bit slow on service. No service with I smile. Staff need abit of work with customers. But on the plus side food was good, apart from a miss order what was sorted promptly. Restaurant was very clean.

P. B.

Crispy chicken fast food. I've had good and bad experiences with this food chain. It's given me food poisoning a few times but I still go back as its yummy lol.

Z. J.

Although they are still having problems with the supplier. They managed to make sure we didn't go away with empty tummies. Can't beat a KFC. It really is finger licking good food. Thank you KFC Cowgate.

C. T.

Service was pretty slow & staff act like they don’t want to be there. Everyone polite though. Food was fine but not the hottest. Coke tasted like soda machine was running out of coke. All tables clean & tidy. No litter around outside of restaurant.

K. M.

The food was sexy tbh. Got a trilogy box meal with the lads and everyone had fun. Really really sexy food. Big bit of gravy inal.

C. R.

Staff very friendly, however disappointing food. Very small portion of chips and incorrect item given.

G. M.

First time ordering with Uber eats, the delivery of my order was spot on, thank you Marious, the only fault with the meal were the chips looked old and were soggy and to top it off I ordered to two BBQ dips which I did not get.

J. B.

Got party bucket, service was good, food was spot on, the only problem was there was no chicken wings or chicken mini fillets in my party bucket, tryed ringing, no one answered the phone on several occasions ,when you pay 25.99 for your food you expect what you ordered.

J. B.

Great value food, if you are a student ask for a student discount and you'll get some more food. Staff here are friendly when taking orders but seem a little sick of their lives when not serving people

c. d.

Been a few times now ordering through the KFC app great experience everytime and great experience and customer service at store always friendly staff

c. T.

Food is alright but I have a shock whenever comes to the price lol

P. C. A.

Good kfc

M. L.

Good but repeatedly get your order wrong - resolve or refund each time

A. “.

bit of a wait but spot on staff are very polite no problems at

K. A.

Can’t fault it - never had any issues here - Trilogy box meal is my go to, drive thru restaurant and convenient location

L. C.

Seemed to be badly organised and not managed well. Alot of complaints while I was there about waiting time. I also waited a long time but felt like I should of been helping them since they looked about 12years old.

a. s.

Staff are sometimes a little slow to serve you and you often have to wait a while once ordered. On the plus side the food is usually hot and theres no excessive mayonnaise on the burgers.

W. R.

Brill, food was very nice.

r. N.

Great happy staff and great food enjoy it

F. A.

It's good quality 🙂🙂🙂🙂 …

C. A.

Not bad service but please provide the napkins when ordered via drive through. Besides that no complaints

K. R.

The food was really nice. The corn on the cob is so juicy and tasty and is always a really nice snack.

k. t.

Side orders of beans must have been very old as were dried out when opened at home (surely there must be a time limit as to how long these can be kept under constant heat before being discarded?). Everything else as would be expected.

C. A.

Proper mint the chicken in this place is banging me and girls may as well live at KFC at this point coz were there like 3 times a week the chicken in on point

S. Z. A.

Usual consistent service and food as always. Keeps us coming back.

C. h.

Always great staff and service Easy ordering either on big screens or at counter or even via app Food excellent Thanks

N. B.

Service is very slow and even longer for the food. Only plus is its often freshly cooked so nice and hot.

H. S.

Very nice and fresh fried chicken and it serves halal chicken😋

t. J.

Great food, always seems to be fresh cooked, not dry or greasy

O. S.

Great staff but chicken was salty.

D. H.

Decent food, service was good, lost one star as it was a little slow.

s. h.

Liked the service but didn't put extra chicken in my order even though I payed for extra chicken aswell

p. g.

Pit stop in Cowgate after long drive from Nottingham I have used KFC each time check them out if you fancy it

A. M. A.

Good Customer Service. Great food quality. As well as halal food.

A. K.

Not the best kfc by a long way. Car park is very untidy and staff are not as pleasant as other branches. No complaints with speed of service or quality of food

S. R.

Got my chicken box meal.....but no veggie burger sold in store!!

J. C.

Went for a takeaway food great,service ok but not given any tforks to eat our sides with and no napkins or wipes

D. H.

Never been disappointed with a KFC. Very filling and tastes good. They could do with turning up the heat in here though as it was uncomfortably cool .

N. W.

Best KFC I have ever had, was still hot after a 10 minute drive home and tasted delicious.

K. S.

Wait times suck sometimes and sometimes the tables aren't cleared. The chicken is usually decent and the atmosphere welcoming enough.

H. H.

Only Halal kfc in newcastle, the other being in metrocentre. Its decent for avid kfc fans but maybe not worth the trip to cowgate if you live close to the city centre or looking for halal fried chicken. Staff is pretty helpful and has a decent car park.

A. R.

My regular go to KFC. Mistakes happen sometimes. When they do they are rectified quickly.

T. M. S.

Not the best KFC I am tried!!service was great but the chicken tasted greasy out side and uncooked inside

Z. C.

Service was a bit slow and the bins needed changed but apart from that food was lovely and we got extra boneless chicken for our wait!!!

S. M.

Great food during lockdown..roll on the day we are all able to dine inside the restaurant

G. D.

Friendly little outlet all by itself, surrounded by roads. Easy to miss, I had to turn round, it's on a one way system.

I. S.

My favourite KFC as this is the only Halal KFC in Newcastle, car parking is also very easy and lots of offers every time you go

R. D.

Service was ok a bit slow, some of the chicken wasn't fresh and we could all smell it. It was a bit off.

M. M. (.

Quality seems about average, not as good as the MetroCentre one but it's halal and there's not many of these ones about. Drive thru options available 👍🏽 …

S. E.

Great supermarket, they have everything you need under one roof. Lovely helpful staff and plenty of disabled parking.

G. Y.

As all KFC,s they were very slow to serve. Food was good though

c. 1.

Lovely food, nice quick service aswell

R. O.

Food was tasty, service was slow. The £100 parking charge is OUTRAGEOUS if you park for a minute longer than 90mins.

S.

Great place for fast food

S. H.

food was nice and hot bit the rubbish that was inside the entrance was still there when we left 30 mins later and staff behind till were spending time talking about giving each other massages

M. L.

always find KFC to be a pain with their colonel's club card..telling them one thing then they charge you another. can't understand why you just can't talk to the human face to face!

T. M.

Nice and friendly staff even though is was busy. would recommend. thanks

n. s.

Just used drive through today. Got great customer service from someeone called John. Pleasant and helpful - nice. Good food too.

R. H.

Chicken was actually really good, not dry at all, would recommend, however customer service on the drive thru was a let down though. No manners on the boy!
