Chicken Shops in Salem, IN

“I'm editing a previous review (EXTREMELY NEGATIVE) from a few years ago. This was while the buffet was still alive so it's safe to say it's pre-Covid era. The quality of food had taken a steady, sharp decline, more than inedible. Absolutely atrocious would've been an understatement!! I can remember our failed attempts that day with the hunks of potato paste and flakes trying to make them into a food our kids could consume!? The many piece free meal sent to replace the hot dumpster fire wasn't even redeemed!
Flash forward to current day- my belly can't stomach fast food anymore from a few medical issues. When my family chooses the in town route, other restaurants than KFC just aren't a viable option for me. I could live off the pot pies, bowls, and concoctions I conjure with the sides to change things up. As for the testimony of an experience we had today tho. On the home front, we'd been working on a horse, a couple goats, etc with issues with the weather change. COMPLETELY FRUSTRATED!! Fast food, the solution. I pre- ordered my food online for KFC (the app is 👏🤝👌) Walk in and it's like a ghost town!?! Except for this rap music? 😩🥴 Looking around my daughter and I noticed 2 gentlemen vicariously working. 1 scrubbing stuff behind the counter, around the food, the other washing off tables and sweeping the dining area. Looking for my food, I hesitate to hear curse words from the radio, BUT I DON'T!!!? I start hear to God and the good Lord, and assume it's not used in the correct context. Sooo my daughter who's been having a trying day, begins to shuffle in the jams, strawberry of course. This younger man is listening to a hip hop song we looked up in the truck afterwards, that was called Family Man by Rare of Breed. Quite an inspirational song!! Please do not mistaken this for a religious reason or another, but that they weren't standing around on their phones, being non-productive, or even nonexistent. Very motivational. It's not often anymore you see those who TRULY are giving 110% and want to do the right thing. It says a lot for this store that at one point my dogs wouldn't eat their food! To add that my daughter has found another new Christian artist to listen to at her delicate stage in life, at an age when simply seeing grown ups listening to music about Christ being a bop as uplifting is a 100 star alone to me!!! Not once has my pot pie been burnt or nasty. My potatoes been flakes. The dogs even had the chance to taste if they're any better. Their hours are now later. The store has changed, for the better!! So in my review I felt like my negative feedback deserved to be changed to a positive. As people can, change!! Thank you KFC and these guys tonight for turning our not so wonderful night into an awesome night!!“
