"Not if you practice social distancing. On our last visit, we ordered by phone, a common practice since they re-opened during the pandemic. Our orders usually take 10-15 minutes, which they're transparent about on the phone before we hang up and head out to get our food. This time, we arrived but had to wait for our food. We were told 5 minutes but it took closer to 15 minutes as if we hadn't ordered by phone at all. Having already asked to add a tip to our bill before being told about the delay created a situation in which we'd have to ask for the tip back. But seeing how there were times when I know I've asked them to add a tip to our bill but saw in the final sale (in my bank account because we almost never use cash to pay or to tip that the tip wasn't added or that only a small fraction of what I offered was added to the bill, we figured that there was NO WAY they'd take the tip this time because, unlike the times they didn't take the tip or didn't even take half of what we offered as a tip, they didn't deserve the tip this time. Way, dude. They TOTALLY took the whole tip we offered them To Insure Prompt Service (T.I.P.S. . That's as tacky as us asking for the tip back after learning we'd have to wait, right? Well, for us it was. Then there were people in there who weren't practicing social distancing like that which we're used to when going to the downtown post office. There were three other people in the small dining/pickup area wearing masks, but there wasn't six feet of separation between customers (and I seriously don't think even three people could form a line without it going outside if the six-feet of separation rule were enforced here. But there's no doubt that we'd stand in the rain or snow for this food if we hadn't ordered ahead of time . And then one guy's mask wasn't covering his nostrils. Seven months into the pandemic makes it pretty easy to find credible info proving that you can wear up to five layers of different kinds of good masks without there being a change in the oxygen levels your body needs (There's one vid with healthcare professionals, who have non-COVID-19 related respiratory problems, layering on the masks and testing their oxygen levels with a machine to show that they too can get enough oxygen while wearing several masks covering their mouths and nostrils to help themselves and those around them keep safe . So that happened during our near-15-minute wait. So, needless to say, we were pretty disappointed about our last visit. And with third-party food delivery services being hit-or-miss around here, we've never tried them with KFC because walking's always been quicker. I mean, the food's so good here that our last meal here made up for nearly all of the above, but still. COVID-19 is real. Guess it's time to get that air fryer. Later, guys. Stay safe."

"For a first time experience, it wasn’t as expected. (7/18 after 7pm) only seen two other families order during tour visit)First off, walking in you’re not greeted as expected in any establishment. Then, we were told “I think the lab is backed up” but we didn’t tell them whether we were here for that or if we were just ordering to go. We get to the back where you would then think, based on the secret door and walk back, that this experience is about to be the best thing ever. We get to the back and the music was extremely loud and there wasn’t any direction as to how to order. One thing I hate is going somewhere new and feeling lost. After finally figuring out what to do (again no proper greetings or signage) and ordering, we sit down. No one was friendly and the lady making the shakes had EarPods on the entire time and when she wasn’t busy she was behind the “bar” sitting on a crate on her phone. And when we first arrived she looked at us like we were nothing from this galaxy and the same with the man behind the ordering station. They didn’t even clean the tables once people left during downtime. This was alarming.I get the concept of this experience but it wasn’t as expected. If you tell me I’m going to a cookie lab I would honestly think I would be able to create my own cookies or shakes for a true experience.Now for the treats, we had the galaxy and what ever they put on the outside of the cup wasn’t pleasant and had a chemical and bitter taste. The shakes were okay. Additionally, ordered a brownie and that was basic.Can say I tried it but will I return……no. Customer service was terrible and the treats were mediocre. Proceed at your own risk!"
