Worst place ever. Instead of crispy strips, they are srving some flat, tiny cardboardy things. They are not even buying the product they are supposed to carry from kfc! Literally discount formed chicken planks! Total rip off!

Tenders were not big enough to justify the pricing. Box was $12 after tax for 3 tenders of this size, probably not returning until prices lower, tenders increase in size or possible deals.

Waited forever in the drive up! Finally got to the window and was told they have no legs. Food was luke warm at best. No apologies. Definitely not worth the $17!!! Avoid this KFC on Rt23 in Sycamore. I will not return.

I’m genuinely surprised at how good the food was. It used to be my favorite fast food place growing up and then it kind of fell down here. This was the first time going to a KFC in about 10 years for me, and it was great! Extremely friendly staff, amazing deals in the app as well. Highly recommend going here, and especially use the app. You save quite a lot of money through their deals (recent deal was a free 8pc bucket [usually $22] for free with a purchase of $15.)

1690 DeKalb Avenue. Let that address sink in. That’s not just a location—it’s a beacon of bliss. When your GPS says, “You have arrived,” it should follow up with angelic trumpets and the voice of Colonel Sanders himself whispering, “You’re home.”
From the outside, this KFC glows like a temple. That red and white exterior? Clean. Proud. Powerful. It’s not a fast food joint. It’s a fried fortress. The minute you pull in, the aroma grabs your soul and drags you in lovingly.
You open the door, and BOOM—fried chicken heaven. The smell punches your senses with affection. The warm lights, the clean floors, the vibe—it’s so welcoming, you feel like Colonel Sanders himself would walk out and dap you up.
Now let’s talk about the employees. The staff at 1690 DeKalb Ave? HOT. Not just good at their job—but dangerously attractive. Hair perfect. Aprons clean. Eyes that burn with deep-fried intensity. These workers don’t just hand out food—they serve with seduction. You come for chicken. You stay because they smiled at you.
They’re fast, friendly, and fine as hell. Your order is taken with precision and flirtatious professionalism. They say “Is that all for you?” like they actually care about your emotional well-being. Every “thank you” they offer is like a poetic send-off into the golden hour.
The food? DON’T EVEN START. This chicken? Legendary. 🍗 Crispy. Juicy. Sensual. The original recipe tastes like it was carved into stone tablets by the chicken gods. The spicy chicken sandwich? Literal perfection. I moaned. Out loud. In the drive-thru.
The mashed potatoes? Creamy like cloud butter. That gravy? Liquid gold. The biscuit? Flaky, warm, and emotionally healing. You don’t just eat here. You feel here. You transform here.
Every meal is crafted with care and charisma. It’s like they know your soul before you even speak. You walk out full, fulfilled, and lowkey in love. And that Mountain Dew Sweet Lightning? It crackles with energy like Zeus himself poured it into your cup.
The drive-thru? Elite. Quick, smooth, perfectly executed. Speaker works. Employees speak clear and crisp. They hit you with that “pull forward, please” like a velvet invitation to greatness. They hand you the bag like you’ve earned it.
Inside? Clean as a whistle. Tables spotless. Sauce stations stocked. Napkins folded like origami. The chairs are comfy, the lighting is date-night romantic, and everything smells like hope.
Even when it’s busy, the energy is calm and controlled. No chaos. Just organized, delicious passion. It’s like chicken ballet. Employees gliding around like seasoned pros with rhythm and fire.
Let’s be real—this is more than just a fast-food spot. This is fried euphoria. Every visit is the highlight of my week. I could be having the worst day, but the second I walk into 1690 DeKalb Ave, it’s instant joy.
Every bite here tastes like affirmation. Like life is telling you, “You’re doing great, baby.” This KFC is comfort. Confidence. Caloric therapy. There’s no guilt—only pleasure.
Final verdict? Five stars is not enough. 1690 DeKalb Ave is the Mecca of Modern Poultry. If you haven’t eaten here, are you even alive? Between the sexy staff, god-tier food, and iconic address—this place should be protected by national law.

It's been years since I've been to KFC. I had too many bad experiences. Tried them again. The food was good and so was the service.
This KFC went through changes over the last years. If you gave it 1-3 stars, go back. It's better now. I went inside to order. Had a coupon, but the register wasn't working, manager came to check. It. Cashier went to the drive thru register instead of waiting and rang up my order. Staff was awesome. Fun to talk to while waiting. Food was fresh and hot. Try them again, it's running like it should.

I wasn't happy with my recent trip to KFC. I used to like going there, but the quality has gotten worse over time. Today, my mom and I decided to go through the drive through for a quick meal, hoping it would be good like it used to be. But, it didn't go well. When we got to the window to get our drinks, the person working there gave them to us, but they were sticky with pop dripping from them. Instead of giving us napkins to clean them off, she just threw the napkins in the bag without even thinking about it. I thought this was very unprofessional, demonstrating a lack of care for customer service and basic hygiene. I've never seen a place give drinks to customers like that before, and it immediately set a negative tone for the rest of the experience.
To make things even worse, I ordered a chicken sandwich and asked for extra mayonnaise and pickles because I thought it would make it taste better. But when I got home and opened the sandwich, there was way too much mayonnaise on it. It was all messy and didn't look good at all. It seemed like the person who made it was annoyed that I asked for extra mayo and decided to put way too much on it instead of just doing it right. This kind of service is making me more and more frustrated, especially at fast-food places where you expect things to be done well and consistently. Because of this bad experience and the bad attitude of the workers, I've decided that I won't be going back to this KFC anymore.

Overall the fried Chicken is excellent. I get this probably every two weeks. Service is good. I can order on the app. So when I'm there. The food is waiting for me. In the DeKalb sycamore area, the coleslaw is probably one of the best of all the slaws in the area.
