Kfc - Capitola

Not the place for in store dining unless you have no other options. Not an especially bad dining area, just kinda depressing like most fast food joints. Take it home and gorge on delicious chicken in private, and in peace.The crew seems especially great though.. there's an older lady who really rocks front of house, and in keeping the kitchen hustling along, and a Hispanic guy who's super polite and on top of it.The food is great.. original recipe all the way, but the crispy strips are also fire. Make sure to grab some of the Colonel's hot sauce too, it's like Tabasco ought to be. 9 out of 10.It's sad that Santa Cruz chased away the westside KFC, but it's not surprising. This Capitola location is the only KFC around, so do support it.. because once it's gone, you will miss it.Oh yeah, and the Coleslaw is amazing. There's a $30 deal going on which includes a bucket of original recipe, crispy strips, mashed potatoes and gravy, coleslaw, biscuits, and fries. It's amazing to be able to feed a family of 4 with leftovers, for $30.. McDonald's is like $15-18 for a meal per person nowadays, and it sucks. Burger King is the same now too.Oh yeah, and, this is also an A&W, so you can get yourself a root beer float, in a sad waxed cup.. no more frosty mugs or drive up dining like back in the day on Ocean St. It's sad. No more drive up, drive through, or drive in movies anymore in Santa Cruz.

I know it was late. I know your job sucks. But can y'all at least TRY and earn your money? Jaysus...

Thank you for making really good fried chicken at decent prices! And having some friendly staff members!

We arrived about 5 minutes before scheduked closing time. We were greeted and welcomed in, able to order, and were even able to use the dining room without being rushed to leave before we were ready. Food and service were great and timely. The restroom was a little gross, but not unusually bad.

Customer service is amazing. Thank you for the delicious meal.
