Cool place to visit if your in the Corbin area. I thought it would be more exiting and more to see but it was nice. Basically a couple exhibits which I believe were mostly recreated. Some cool memorabilia and pictures on display. As far as the restaurant, I love KFC but this location, the food wasn't that great nor the service.
only worth going because it's the first KFC ever. Food in there is the exactly the same as in any other kfc, and the staff is just decent. The first KFC deserves something way better than what they have now, which is just a few displaying old things like a kitchen, a bedroom, and a register. Just once in a lifetime is good enough unless you live nearby.
I am giving this a 5 star because it is an American tradition. The food is as good as any other KFC but to eat at the original is worth stopping. This is America at it's finest time in history.
Fantastic friendly staff, the food is great, and this is a great historical landmark. There is so much to learn here about KFC and Colonel Sanders. With several antiquities that he used to start this company and even for his day to day life. This is really a good peek back in time, I would definitely tell anyone passing by here to stop by for a bite.
I'm not giving the food 5 stars. The food was just KFC, same old same old. So that food I rate at 2 stars...This place gets 5 stars bc it's a part of the KFC history and it was cool and interesting to see how it started and everything this place offered like lodging and gas. Worth the trip even if it's a little out of the way.
That was a perfect experience. Best fried chicken I've ever had, learned some cool things, ate in a museum, and they were very generous in giving more than we paid for.
It is really cool to see some of the history without them trying to make it a tourist trap.
Great place to eat and get a little history lesson about KFC
Why KFC has changed I don't know. They seem to never get your order complete. 5 x no cookies in 5 fill ups. The chicken strips are way too hard to eat. And my extra biscuits or extra Cole slaw is always missing.
It's a great little museum of history but definitely not worth driving for. Unfortunately we've switched to bojangles, Cane's, and chic fillet. Sorry KFC ....
great food staff is friendly and very cool to see some of the history of KFC
Great food and friendly service. If you have never been here this is the 1st KFC ever and it has a small museum in it you can visit for free.
THE original. Interesting museum with Colonels artifacts and history of KFC.
I loved coming here and learning about the history of KFC with my family...so cool!
Foods great but their chicken is allot smaller pieces then before.
This is the tastiest museum I've ever been in.
Although I came with the intention of finally stealing Col. Sanders' secret recipe for my very own, I left with a full belly and appreciation for the fried chicken that comes out of the great state of Kentucky.
I never did find out what those 11 herbs and spices were, but I didn't need to. As long as I can go to the end of the block to find the same taste that the Colonel intended, I'm fine with them remaining a mystery.
Fun place to stop and grab a bite to eat and get a lesson on colonel Sanders original restaurants history.
Loved the museum. Disappointed that they did not have the grilled chicken at this location.
Familiar and delicious. I would be worried if it was any other way. Finger lickin good.
This is the best Kentucky Fried Chicken in the United States I always try to make a point of stopping there if I'm driving through. It should be at National Historical location being the first KFC where one of the greatest men on earth created one of the greatest products on Earth.
The original KFC. Interesting roadside location, but otherwise just another KFC.
Always check ur order before u go never get it right any more
Interesting place with displays of how KFC started. We didn't eat here so can't rate food or service.
Great chicken and great place to stop off and see the origional KFC kitchen museum. When I travel through with family I get photos of nieces and nephews with the Colonel. It's a blast for me and I think it embarrasses the kids but all in good fun I really think they like it to.
I just went through drive thru and I ordered chicken liver 2 biscuits mashed taters and 5 cookies well the line was awful the biscuits was hard as a rock and i did not even get my cookies
For the first KFC ever it's pretty disappointing. All it is is a normal KFC with normal KFC food stuck in the original building. Some of the exhibits they have in the eating area are cool though it's worth checking out if you are in the area and want KFC
I buy my dinner there at least 3 days a week. I love kfc. Although today girl at the drive thru was rude. And when I got my hot wings they had been microwaved needless to say they were nasty.
The employees are super nice, polite, and helpful. The place is clean and interesting to see the original things from KFC.
I'm sorry but we went off our route to visit the ORIGINAL KFC and it wasn't worth it at all chicken was dry and tasteless
Terrific! If you want to plunge into the history and eat a truly delicious chicken cooked according to the original recipe of Colonel Sanders, then you definitely need to come here!
Very interesting exposition. A cozy place and an unusual menu that you will not see anymore in any KFC restaurant around the world.
I want to stay longer in this place, so as to get deeper into this atmosphere.
I recommend to visit! Very interesting place!
It was an interesting place to have lunch. Lots of old world charm.
The food is always fresh but they always get something wrong.
I don't eat much meat any more though grew up eating KFC... it's been a few year since I last went KFC, but this is a special one.
You can't understand the genius of The Colonel until you visit this place.
Just want chicken, didn't want soda, sides. Asked person at counter what pieces were in the 3 piece ,4 piece she didn't not know.! Seriously... The whole in counter was awful. I am taking the order back for a refund. The chicken looks awful, unsatisfied "period".
Would have been nice to know they are STILL remodeling. Not in the habit of calling ahead, but ugh.
People always take for granted the nearby places that are local attractions...It always amazes me to drive by the local KFC with Museum and see people posing for pictures out front by the sign. I think the Museum and Cafe need some TLC and a good CLEANING; it is an important local, state, and nationwide place and it looks shabby and sad. Water stains on the ceiling, cracking plaster, damaged furniture, and broken glass are easy fixes that can make us proud again of the museum. One thing that really needs to be addressed is the bathroom odor, most restaurants have bathrooms away from the 'eating area' or at least 'double doors' or a wall. The food is GREAT as always!! But there are no 'mature' people to answer question about the museum, to care for it, or to take pride in the place...it's just a job to them. Our town revolves around the 'chicken' theme and like all things in this town we are letting our 'treasures' go to ruin.
Very interesting place, it is where all this business started, you can take a little tour around the restaurant to see the old story of the KFC man.
Their meals are really cool and better than other branches.
In the middle of a remodel, but the BEST KFC I have ever tasted in my entire life! Finger lickin' good!!
Good artifacts, but the chicken should be in the museum too!
Long wait on a Saturday night of course,7 minute wait for chicken to cook. It was fresh
You'd think that this should be a flagship location, top notch, but it isn't. The displays are great but the food and service were a disappointment. The biscuits were hard as a rock (literally) and the counter was slow and uninviting, reminiscent of any other KFC. Visit for the nostalgia but dont have high hopes for the restaurant.
Check out the old menu.
Colonel, I came to report, definitely catching up with the best level in North America, very close to the domestic taste.
Service is slow just a bunch of teenage working front line hopefully the chicken good n hot
Worth the trip to see KFC's beginnings, still a run of the mill KFC though.
It was pretty neat to see the original Kentucky Fried Chicken. I already like to eat there so I really wanted to go to this one. It was not as much of a big deal as I expected, but neat to see. It is something I can say that I have been to. They have a nice place to sit and eat.
The service here was awful. I have lived here my whole life and never seen service like this. It took over 20 minutes to get 4 biscuits . Hope they get some experienced crew . Shameful
Enjoyed the our lunch and the historic setting. What can be better than eating at the original restaurant.
Food was very good. Servers took good care of us. The museum was a lot of fun.
Food wise it's just a regular KFC, but there's some displays of old things and the dining room has a nice ambiance.
This is such an amazing museum! It's the first Kentucky Fried Chicken known as Sanders Cafe.
Dec 2017 Last meal on New Year s Eve and it s the best crispy chicken than dozens of KFC we have been across the country.
KFC is a great place and has wonderful food and workers. It is a bummer that their lobby is closed though.
Museum part was cool. Food quality was not great. Ordered two small things and they came with sauce just thrown on them in a nasty drippy mess that barely made it on the chicken and was more in the wrapper. Expected better quality from the original.
I love this place im am going to come back again real soon
This is the home of the original KFC. The museum is located here and neat to walk through. Staff is friendly. Very clean
KFC s first store, the birthplace of KFC, is also the KFC Museum. Taking into account the health factors, I have not eaten KFC for several years. But when it comes to its birthplace, how can you not come to a bucket? Its scent of taste, can not help but not let people eat fast. I thought that Uncle KFC opened the first restaurant on the roadside. He paid attention to people's tastes and studied food formulas and production techniques. The pedestrians and vehicles in the past had to stop and enter the store to enjoy his good cooking. His store business is booming. But the good times didn't last long, because the highway was not far away, the street was suddenly deserted, and the business in the store could not be maintained. He had to give up the restaurant. The setback did not defeat Uncle KFC, and he was looking for a new store along the road with his craftsmanship and formula. Later, he simply sold his business methods and formulas and opened tens of thousands of KFCs around the world. No matter how big or small, do it with your heart, stick to it, and see spring. A little childish feeling. Inspirational.
Just stopped to see where the colonel started his business. Great historic spot.
Neat place. Clean. Friendly workers. Loved learning history of kfc. Would go back again
Took 20 minutes to get a small cup of macaroni with only 10 people in front of us.
Location is nostalgic though and the artifacts are really cool! The overall vibe was neat and I can see someone who loves chicken being excited about this place.
Not too far off of the highway, worth it
The staff were very friendly and the food was exceptional. It's a fun and clean environment and great place for everyone.
Finger licking good... Naturally. Not only was the food what you would expect from a KFC, but you are eating in the original location which also serves as a neat little museum. Definitely the best KFC experience I've ever had.
It was clean, friendly staff, food was great. Enjoyed the Colonel Sanders museum.
The place is the birthplace of kfc. You can see kfc history.
Every time I go to Corbin Ky to eat at Kentucky Fried Chicken I am very disappointed. They leave food out that I order all the time. I was going to check my order last time I was there and the girl said its all there, I checked it myself. I got home and of course there wasn't any mashed potatoes and gravy.
The best chicken you can get for the price l, almost always clean
The food was good but expected more from the museum.
