Today is Fat Tuesday so we were looking for a place that could deliver southern fried food to us. Unfortunately, we were not successful at finding such a place that could do so which was a shame. Our next best option was KFC because everyone loves fried chicken from there. They don't have a delivery service and there are a couple places around downtown within ten minutes.
The one in South Buffalo on Abbott road by Seneca and Bailey is the one we went to pickup our food. This is the nearest location to central downtown. Afraid the area wouldn't be too safe, we took our chances and drove there.
The handful of us who ordered from there today haven't had KFC in such a long time, so this was a tremendous treat. We ended up getting a 16 piece bucket of chicken (half breast and half drumsticks) along with mashed potatoes and gravy, macaroni and cheese, biscuits, coleslaw, and potato wedges. This KFC also has a Taco Bell inside so we got some hot sauce packets from each one. We didn't call ahead or fax our orders... but it felt like it. As soon as we placed order one of two, we received it bagged up in a matter of seconds... literally. The second order was the largest of the two and took only a couple minutes, as it was fast and everything was in there.
There was more food than we initially thought after we were getting to the end of eating. The food was still relatively warm when we got back to eat it. The large mashed potatoes were plenty for two people even though we each got one. They also gave us a bowl of gravy in the same size of container. The macaroni and cheese is one of the finest you can find at a fast food place. The chicken was great as everyone knows. They haven't lost their touch. All the drumsticks were on the bottom of the bucket so it was difficult to pick and choose, but that was the only complaint. Everything was amazing and it felt like a feast... actually it was. You know the food is great when you want to continue eating but you can't because you're full. We ran into that problem during lunch as we had leftovers.
The food and service were outstanding and made for a wonderful Fat Tuesday lunch. It was pure thinking outside of the box to go all for this place. It was well worth the time and effort to receive a delicious lunch some of us were calling the best they had here at work.

The Mac n Cheese from KFC is hands down, the best you will find in any restaurant. Since the whole "trans-fat" thing has taken place, the flavor of the chicken has decreased slightly. Simply changing the oil, changes the "Original Recipe". This was a great choice for you guys.
