Saw the signs on the highway and decided to stop. Interesting history about KFC. Nice displays. The place needs some touch ups. The statue of the Colonel has a broken finger.
My over the road experience with KFC has been the quality of the food was noticeable. However the cafe and museum still has the best tasting chicken of any place in Corbin. The buildings and decor were some what shabby. What museum isn't? Maybe the white house? Have you been there? Drive around the town and you will find streets that go nowhere. You think you are going across town only to find the road twist and angles and brings you out 15 miles away from where you started, in an opposite direction. Enjoy the "Chicken"! Make a donation and maybe the cafe and museum will be there for another visit!
If you are in the area or not (only a short trip off the I-75) this little piece of nostalgia is worth seeing. Lots of bits of trivia. The original restaurant area is there and it's really cool to tell friends that you have eaten there.
The flavor of the original recipe is the only good thing that saved this place from getting a one. In every corner and angle of this place, there was layers of filth and dirt. Even the model motel room had grunge on carpet and beneath the viewing rail. This restaurant SHOULD BE THE FLAGSHIP and LEGACY of a great man, but due to LAZY management it is a disgrace to the entire food chain of KFC. Corporate needs to fire current management and get someone who will run this place with the honor and respect that it deserves.
Always wanted to check out the KFC museum. Drove the 2 1/2 mile drive off the interstate. The museum is old, dated and not much there..... Displays were faded and broken. Building in very poor condition with falling in ceilings and cracked floors, The onsite restaurant is just a modern day KFC, nothing special. The photo op at the front door was the best part of the stop. This could be such a great piece of history but it is falling to time and not being maintained.. Bummer....
Easy to find, entertaining information in the museum. Typical KFC fare and experience in the restaurant.
Won't take long to see this but well worth it! This was the First KFC. It has been nicely preserved and creatively done to show how it was set up and run way back in the beginning! And you can even have some good food as well!
Had visited this place several years ago when we were full time RVers. Wanted to see it again. Well worth it. As much a museum as an eating place. Visited here twice during our two days in the area and took home dinner both times. Good chicken and sides that come with it.
Modern Kentucky Fried Chicken with small museum inside. Not a whole lot to see. Not worth a long drive.
Going back & forth over the years from Indiana to Georgia & Florida we would often stop at this KFC because of the history behind it. The food is very good but the housekeeping is not up to par. Definitely needs a lot of TLC! It's like so many similar places with history of this type, as you walk through you almost expect Col. Sanders to walk out of the woodwork to greet you. The personnel have done a good job of creating exactly this type of feeling. I did feel with a little more signage they could make this particular KFC a lot more appealing. Not just another KFC! It's only a little out of your way though, so do yourself a favor & stop by. You'll like it!
