Typical KFC restaurant. I love Fried chicken and I personally believe KFC is the best fried chicken in the world so what makes the experience out of the ordinary is the service. This restaurant has pleasant and courteous staff. The store is clean but smaller than other stores. There is a drive through.

It was okay. Definitely either a new place or freshly renovated. Wide open, unfortunately it allowed someone's screaming children's echos to reverberated and caused us to make a rapid retreat. Seems people use restaurants as playgrounds for their poorly trained children, I must have been a horrible mother because eating out was a privilege not a right. AND if they were noisy or disruptive WE left so as not to irritate or bother other dining guests. Not one person on staff said anything. One gal in glass with a tray went over to them and started playing with one of the kids causing even more of a ruckus!So, hubby ordered wings and the seafood stuff potatoes. HA! The wings were actually Wing Dings from Schneck's Food Service (we get them at the American Legion) so they were prefab with TONS of coating and the kind of dry - just look at the pictures!! The seafood potato skins had ONE shrimp with cheese melted. He said they were bland as ***p with paprika sprinkled on them but at least the cheese was real.I had the Nachos. I'm expanding my food allergies so my one "bad" food was the corn chips. While the meat/chili was light the toppings were well done! LOTS of onion, jalapenos and sour cream.IF we go back it'll be for togo for the Nachos but nothing else was impressive for a return visit and the atmosphere was a definite NO!

On this one particularly lucky afternoon, I craved and ordered a footlong Chicken Bacon Ranch Melt ($7.99) from Subway. I skillfully influenced them to put ranch, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, jalapeno peppers, and black olives on it at no extra charge. This was all placed inside toasted Italian Herbs & Cheese bread, also sans upcharge. I quickly thanked the friendly female employee that bagged my tasty selection and hightailed it out of there like a bandit.
5. Country Kitchen

We stayed in this area of Maryland for a few weeks and had 3 great meals at Country Kitchen over that time, breakfast, lunch and dinner. All were equally as good. They have a wide variety of selections that would satisfied most folks and the place always had a steady stream of customers. I would also say that all of the waitresses, especially Patti, were very customer focused and checked on us throughout the meal. The prices were very reasonable for the size of the portions. We'll be back!!!

Just the two of us stopped here on the way to York on a Sunday afternoon.Very unassuming place - filled w a lot of locals.Interior is dated, but clean.We did not sit at the bar, but it appears to be rather limited.Order appropriately here - it is just a bar food style joint. Donât get crazy on some special entree.Burger was good, as was the pulled pork.Service was friendly and efficient.

My wife and I live a five minute walk from the Kountry Kitchen and strolled over there for our first time a few weeks ago. It's not only good, down home American cooking, but they also have full alcohol service; beer, wine, and mixed drinks. You can't go wrong with a meal here.
