KFC - Palm Coast

Kentucky Fried Chicken—now simply known as KFC—has been my favorite chicken restaurant for years. Its signature blend of herbs and spices has long set it apart from the competition. Palm Coast has only one KFC, located at 3 Old Kings Road. Unfortunately, this location has struggled for years with inconsistent food and mediocre service, which does not reflect the experience I have had at many other KFC restaurants.

FOOD: One issue that seems increasingly common at many KFC restaurants, including the Palm Coast location, is that the original flavor no longer tastes quite the same. The herbs and spices are not what they used to be. At this location, food preparation is inconsistent; on any given day, the chicken may be anywhere from room temperature to hot, so you never know what to expect. This is especially noticeable with the chicken sandwich. When served hot, it is easily the best chicken sandwich among fried chicken restaurants. Unfortunately, that rarely happens at the Palm Coast store. Most of the sides are well prepared and served hot, except for the coleslaw—which, in my opinion, is among the best offered by any restaurant. For food, I would rate this location 4 out of 10.

SERVICE: Service is another inconsistent area for this location. The restaurant often seems unprepared for peak times, which leads to delays in receiving orders or certain chicken pieces—such as breasts, thighs, or legs—not being available. For service, I would rate this location 4 out of 10.

Overall, the Palm Coast KFC is below average, earning 4 out of 10 for both food and service.

Texas Roadhouse - Palm Coast

Ok...so we have been going to Texas Roadhouse in Port Orange for the past couple of years because Outback no longer has good steaks. What we found was that Texas Roadhouse does NOT freeze their steaks and they are always tender, done correctly, and flavorful. When we heard that Texas Roadhouse was opening up in Palm Coast we were ecstatic! It was worth the wait!! The steaks are GREAT!! hands down. Tender, flavorful and done just right. The service is great - even on their opening day. It definitely beats Outback hands down. NOTE to Outback: Don't freeze your steaks and get better cuts so that they are tender. And work on your service. NOTE to everyone else: Go to Texas Roadhouse, you won't be sorry!!

Best Buy and Samsung

Well...after all these years of buying stuff from Best Buy, Best Buy has now earned a big fat GOOSE EGG for service. What surprises me is that over the years Best Buy has been riddled with online reviews for their horrible customer service and the way they treat their customers. But remember what they say, one bad apple will spoil the barrel. It appears that Samsung is in the same bed as Best Buy with their lousy customer service. We are now in our 3rd week trying to get a replacement TV covered under Samsung's warranty and we keep getting a run around. We have resorted to contacting the North American CEO Tim Baxter at tim.baxterCEO@sea.samsung.com in an attempt to get this resolved.

Disney

Okay -- so big Disney fan here BUT recently had a terrible experience that has since been reported to Disney and ignored. Arrived in the afternoon at Hollywood studios and the disabled parking lot is reportedly full so ended up parking on row 44. Row 44 is not serviced by tram so had to walk about 3/4 of mile to the entrance pass the "Preferred Parking" - which had plenty of parking but cost an additional $35.00. As we approached the disabled parking we noticed that there were like a dozen open parking spaces. We went back got the car and after some disagreeable words with a cast member, proceeded to the disabled parking with the intention of actually leaving the park. Nevertheless, reported it to Mr. Iger, the CEO of the Walt Disney Company, who sent it to his dominions in Orlando. A Shawn responded and asked me to call. I called twice and left messages and never got a call back. So, people, understand this. You are NOT a GUEST at Disney. You are  $$$$ to them and they...
