    Review

    These customer experiences paint a picture of a Church's Chicken location that many visitors find disappointing on a regular basis. A common thread across the reviews is a sense that service is slow and inconsistent, with long waits that stretch well beyond reasonable expectations. One customer complained about a 25-minute wait for a simple 2-piece white combo, and others noted delays during both lunch and dinner rushes. There are also mentions of orders being canceled online with no immediate refund, and attempts to resolve issues in person often meeting with resistant attitudes from staff. The overall mood is frustration from customers who feel the operation isn't functioning smoothly or professionally.

    Food quality, preparation, and freshness emerge as persistent concerns. Several reviewers described wings or chicken as overly greasy, sometimes dripping grease to the point of feeling more like a grease bowl than a properly sauced dish. There were reports of wings that tasted unseasoned or generic, and even claims that items were not safe to eat due to improper handling, with rice that smelled off and potatoes that were undercooked or powdery inside. A recurring complaint is the mismatch between expectations and what's served - items that should be straightforward to prepare (like standard sides) arriving with issues such as undercooked mash, discolored rice, or sides that were not "family size" as ordered. In short, several visits left customers questioning the freshness and safety of what was put in front of them.

    Attitudes and customer service are another major point of contention. Multiple reviews describe rude or dismissive behavior from staff, with several accounts naming specific individuals who were perceived as unfriendly or unhelpful. One review recounts a team member making loud, negative remarks about customers' questions, while another describes a manager who was described as rude and aggressive toward both customers and colleagues. In some cases, employees appeared overwhelmed by staffing shortages, but customers felt that this was no excuse for poor treatment. There are also stories of managers or employees slamming items onto counters, slamming ice bags on the floor, or otherwise handling situations in ways that felt disrespectful and unprofessional to paying guests.

    Store conditions and food safety concerns show up as a separate but related worry. Reviewers mentioned uninviting store environments - trash in parking lots, floors that looked unclean, and overall neglect that didn't match the expectations for a quick-service chain. A few accounts explicitly called out health-and-safety issues, including food that looked spoiled or improperly prepared, which caused customers to reject meals and seek refunds or alternative meals for themselves and their families. The sense of inconsistency is amplified by contrasting notes about renovations or improvements at some locations, which makes it hard to tell where the problems originate - whether from lingering structural issues, inconsistent staff training, or management practices.

    Order accuracy and pricing drift add another layer of frustration. Several customers described discrepancies between what was ordered and what was delivered, including upcharges for white meat or miscounted pieces in media meals. There were even reports of items like biscuits being replaced by something else or being added inadvertently, followed by disputes at the counter. The combination of wrong items, unexpected upcharges, and slow refunds when things go wrong compounds the sense that efficiency and reliability are not reliably available at this location.

    Amid the negative, there are a few bright spots worth noting. A handful of reviews describe experiences where the service was friendly, the restaurant was clean, and the chicken and sides were satisfying. A positive takeaway mentions an order that was prepared quickly, with staff who were courteous, and another review praising a first-time visit where the service and food quality stood out in a favorable way. These occasional positive notes suggest that when things go well, the experience can be solid, but they appear to be exceptions rather than the rule in this collection.

    Taken together, the reviews call for a serious review of operations at this Church's location. There are clear signals that customers value timely service, consistent food quality, respectful and professional staff, and clean, well-maintained facilities. The recurring themes - slow service, greasy or questionable food quality, rude or distracted staff, and inconsistent order handling - point to a need for better staffing, training, and quality-control practices. For this location to regain trust, management may need to address both the front-of-house customer experiences and the back-of-house preparation standards, while also ensuring refunds and online-order issues are resolved promptly and transparently. Until then, many diners will likely continue to seek alternatives elsewhere.
