On the plate at KFC Te Puke, the idea is simple, bistro‑style and well judged. Service stays present without fuss. Meals reach the pass promptly. Portions are generous yet well judged. Value feels fair for the quality.
Lovely staff on today they got my order and welcomed me with open arms. Very kind and very quick would recommend. Small restaurant but very cosy.
Shocked at what was given tonight. Not usually one to complain (literally lost count of how many times we’ve come in and received poor food from here in the past however thought they had improved in the last months, obviously not) Came in at 8pm, after waiting for 15 mins just to place our order we were told they couldn’t do 2 super star boxes as they only had 1 chicken (thigh) left. Asked if they could replace the chicken with anything else but was told no so only ordered 1 box. Got to the window and they said they also had no bread rolls and could sub it for a gravy. Got home to… this. Won’t be coming back if this is the standard KFC Te Puke is okay serving to paying customers.
Appalling Food & Shockingly Unprofessional Avoid at All Costs! Food Quality: A Culinary Letdown Ordered the 3-Piece Quarter Pack and instantly regretted it. The chicken was a dry, rubbery disaster zero flavor, coated in a batter that tasted like flour-and-water paste. The chips? Unseasoned woodchips: 40% burnt to a crisp (tiny, inedible shards), the rest swimming in grease. The dinner roll was stale and squashed, as if retrieved from yesterday’s trash. Only the potato and gravy were barely passable, but that’s no consolation. Hygiene & Service: A Health Hazard Mid-service, staff mopped the floor WITH THE SAME GLOVES they used to pack food cross-contamination risk on full display. When I raised concerns about hygiene and the inedible meal, the manager’s response? “KFC isn’t your thing; try other food.” No apology. No accountability. Just dismissive arrogance. Final Verdict: This isn’t just a bad meal it’s a total disregard for quality, hygiene, and customer dignity. The manager’s insulting attitude sealed the deal. Never again. To KFC Corporate: Shut this location down until staff are retrained and standards are enforced. To fellow customers: Avoid this KFC at all costs unless you enjoy food poisoning and disrespect. #HealthHazard #NeverAgain #WorstKFCExperience Photos attached as proof.

Absolutely the worst KFC I've had. Ordered the 5 piece with chips and all of it was inedible. The chips were dry, old and cold. The KFC must've been the stock not sold from 2 days ago. It was really disgusting and has officially put me off KFC, so maybe that's a good thing.
I just wanted to take a moment to say how consistently amazing the staff are at the Te Puke KFC. Every time we visit, we're met with such friendly and welcoming service. Tonight was no different — I was served by the lovely Tessie, who I've had the pleasure of being served by before. Her warm smile and positive energy truly stood out once again. I actually drive all the way from Papamoa just to come to this KFC because the food is always fresh and the team is always so friendly. Tessie, you're doing an incredible job — thank you for making the experience so great every time!
Made to feel very uncomfortable turning up at 10am when they are to be open because they were not ready yet? Don’t understand why as this is the time you open perhaps get things sorted before opening the doors instead of making me feel like an inconvenience.
Tonight I purchased KFC in TePuke. The chicken was beautiful... fresh and not greasy. The food was also packaged nicely... not just thrown at the box. Thankyou team
was trying to transfer money wasn’t even 30 seconds yet and the old rude lady told me she’s cancelling my order. so rude like kfc te puke has slow service anyways so me taking 40 seconds to transfer money wasn’t putting them back alot
Good place. Although presentation of shop changed not so long ago. Does not appeal to me. Mostly clean in Drive though. Food was good.
There was a queue of customers and a little wait. The staff acknowledged me and said they won't be long while getting other orders ready first. When my order was taken, I asked for a specific piece of chicken and got it. Some of the other branches don't do it. It was worth the wait.
