01 The story, in three paragraphs

Why everyone keeps coming back.

Located at 1300 E Ontario Ave in Corona, CA, KFC stands as a quintessential destination for fans of classic American fast food, specializing in irresistible, crispy chicken. Revered as a chicken restaurant with deep roots, KFC delivers its signature Original Recipe and Extra Crispy fried chicken, crafted from a secret blend of herbs and spices that consistently delights the taste buds with every bite.

Among the popular dishes, the Chicken Thigh showcases the restaurant's iconic preparation, whether you opt for the Original Recipe or the crunchier Extra Crispy variant. For those who enjoy a handheld delight, the Chicken Little Original Recipe sandwich offers tender, juicy chicken tenders layered with pickles and creamy mayo on a warm miniature bun — perfectly portioned and so flavorful you often find yourself wanting more than one. If you crave a bit of heat, the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich combines an Extra Crispy filet coated in a fiery Nashville Hot sauce, balanced beautifully by pickles and Colonel’s mayo within a toasted bun, delivering a spicy kick that’s satisfyingly bold.

Comfort food lovers will appreciate KFC’s heartwarming Chicken Pot Pie, brimming with tender bites of fried chicken, diced potatoes, peas, and carrots enrobed in a savory sauce and baked under a flaky golden crust. For an indulgent twist on comfort, the Mac & Cheese Bowl pairs creamy three-cheese mac and cheese with crispy chicken nuggets, making for a cozy, cheesy experience that hits all the right notes.

The menu is rounded out with a variety of sides and sweets, including the creamy Mac & Cheese, which is an indulgent, velvety complement to any meal. Don’t forget to try the famous KFC Sauce — a tangy, slightly sweet condiment that enhances every bite with a little extra magic.

Beyond the food, what truly elevates this KFC location is the warm customer service that makes each visit memorable. Guests like Luis Trejo have praised staff members such as Gabe, who go the extra mile with a genuine smile, thoughtful drink refills, and attentive service. Meanwhile, Jeraldine Otero shared a touching experience where the staff’s compassion shone, allowing her to use the restroom while she was in distress during pregnancy — a kindness that reflects the caring spirit inside the store.

The atmosphere is typical of a fast-food setting but with a welcoming vibe that invites families, friends, and solo diners alike to enjoy a satisfying meal. While service can sometimes be a bit slow during busy times, the quality and familiar taste of Kentucky Fried Chicken make the wait worthwhile. As one loyal customer fondly recalls, the food tastes just like the “Kentucky Fried Chicken of my youth,” evoking a comforting sense of nostalgia with every bite.

If you’re in Corona and craving the authentic flavors of KFC’s savory, crispy chicken and comforting sides, this location stands out for both its delicious menu and heartfelt service — a true haven for fast-food lovers seeking both quality and care.

Absolutely love their chicken pot pie, however, the quality can vary. I had one that was only half full and almost dried out. They did replace it on another visit. Like most KFCs it does take awhile to get your food.. oh and they need to have their sweeteners out so you don't have to ask for them. They don't even keep them under the counter or at the drive up window. One more thing...they need more carrots in the pot pie.

They let me use the bathroom without buying anything. It was very helpful and they had alot of compassion because I was pregnant and in distress because no other businesses in the plaza would let me use their bathrooms.

I had to leave a 5 star review for this place. A worker there... Gabe (wish I would've got his last name) went above an beyond on service. Took our order with a smile and while he was cleaning tables offered to refill our drinks and offered us napkins.. I know they're little things but your lucky to even get a smile at fast food places now of days.

It is very convenient to have Taco Bell and KFC on the menu. The chicken on my visit was not fresh. The biscuit and mashpotatos were fresh. There's a few homeless hanging around the restaurant. Please be careful if you visit after dark.

It is like any other KFC, but the location/neighborhood is not too safe.
