Do you ever find yourself not feeling up to cooking dinner? I’m sure most of us have had these days where we just don’t want to cook. With school back in session, you’re probably trying to motivate your kids to get back in to the school routine. My kids don’t always like getting up early, and most of the time they’re still very tired when they have to get up. Even with my kids being gone most of the day at school, I find myself not always wanting to cook dinner.
KFC has this great $20 Family Fill Up. It comes with eight pieces of the Colonel’s Original Recipe chicken, two large orders of mashed potatoes and gravy, one large coleslaw, and four biscuits. All of that for only $20! When you’re feeling like you don’t want to cook, KFC has got you covered. This is a great family dinner for a family of four, and could even feed more than that.
I actually received some gift cards so that I could try out the Family Fill Up with my family. It has been years since I have been to KFC. I don’t know why I never went sooner. I have always loved KFC and thought they had the best chicken, so you could imagine how excited I was to be able to go again and try out their food. I definitely wish I wouldn’t have waited all these years to go because after trying the food, I remembered why I always loved KFC. I actually took my father and my two daughters with me so we could enjoy a meal. I thought it would be a nice treat to bring my father out to eat and my daughters always love to go out.
Once we did get to the restaurant, we did notice that the floors were messy and the tables were dirty as well. I do think that they were very busy though. There were a decent amount of people there and people kept showing up. Although I wish they would have taken some time to clean up around the restaurant. Even the garbage’s were starting to overflow. Other than that, the service was wonderful. The lady behind the counter was very nice, and it’s always great to have great customer service.
The chicken was definitely as delicious as I remembered it. KFC has always been my favorite place to get fried chicken from. They make it taste so great! They let us get either the original chicken or the crispy chicken. We asked for half and half and they were nice enough to allow us to do that. The chicken was very tender and juicy, just the way I love it. The extra crispy has more of a crunchy taste to it since it’s crispier. The original recipe chicken is seasoned with their secret blend of 11 herbs & spices and then hand breaded all day long by a certified cook. Both of these types of chicken are amazing. They even have grilled chicken as well.
Everything was absolutely delicious. I forgot how great KFC’s food was. I’m so glad I was able to go and try out their food. Everything tasted just like homemade food. The mashed potatoes were one of my favorites because of how soft they were. The gravy made them taste even better. KFC’s mashed potatoes are definitely the best ones I had before. I don’t think I’ve ever tried such soft mashed potatoes before. I know they’re usually always soft, but these were extremely soft and creamy. My daughters favorites were the mashed potatoes and biscuits. The biscuits were very warm and flaky. My father and I loved the biscuits with honey. It made them taste even better. Coleslaw usually tastes the same to me, but for some reason this coleslaw tasted even better than the kinds I usually eat. It must have been their signature dressing that made it taste even better.
We had some extra money left on the gift cards, so we bought some cookies and soda as well. My daughters got some fruit punch and they loved it. They certainly loved those cookies too. They were very warm, soft and delicious. I’ve never seen them love cookies so much! Of course just about everyone loves cookies, but they kept wanting more of these.
Overall our experience was wonderful! We were all satisfied with the food and will be going back again. This was the first time both of my daughters have been to KFC and they loved it. It’s always great to be able to take the kids out somewhere they can actually enjoy. We can’t wait to go back again.

What a great buy! We might actually head ot KFC tonight becaus that looked amazing and nwo i am craving it! 🙂
It is a wonderful buy! Lots of great food for only $20. We absolutely loved everything! I certainly need to go more often!
I think the $5 fill ups are a much better buy. First you get variety for the same $20. You can choose between a chicken breast, a drumstick and thigh, 3 chicken tenders, a pot pie, a bowl, or popcorn nuggets. They all come with a biscuit a larger mashed potatoes and gravy a cookie and 3 of them come with a drink. so you buy 4 of these add variety and you spend the same amount.
I love KFC! We were just there last night as a matter of fact (well, for take out). We all love their chicken & biscuits in our house. YUM!
Awesome! They sure do have great food. I can’t wait to go again. Glad to hear you love it too!
I can’t eat KFC anymore, but I LOVED it when I could. I SO miss fried chicken! It looks like a great meal!
Sorry to hear you can’t eat it. The chicken sure is good!
This looks SO good. We need a night where I can just eat without cooking, I think it will be KFC for dinner!
KFC definitely is a wonderful choice, especially with their $20 deal right now! Of course the food is so good too!
My family loves KFC!! This is such a great deal! It is so hard trying to feed a family of 4 or more on fast food with a budget!
I completely agree! This is a wonderful deal. I’m glad your family loves KFC as well.
That’s a great deal. I love KFC. I get it for me and my husband about three times a month.
That’s great to hear! Their food is so good!
I haven’t had KFC in several years, ever since we moved here. I need to find a location and get in on that $20 deal. You can’t beat that price!
Right! It’s an amazing deal. I hope you’re able to find a KFC near you.
Oh yeah! KFC is the shizzle fo rizzle. My family loves it. We get a big meal like this pretty regularly.
Great to hear! Glad your family loves it as much as ours.
I LOVE KFC! When I was little, I would ask my mom to get it for my birthday dinner every year!
I bet that was a nice dinner! I can’t wait to go back again. I forgot how amazing their food is!
KFC is a big deal down here in Georgia. My family goes there all the time.
That’s great to hear. It certainly has amazing food!
KFC is so good! We get it all the time. We always get the big family meal and then reheat it for the next day. Yummy.
It sure is good! I can’t believe I waited so long to go again. I can’t wait to take my girls again.
I love KFC! I used to eat at KFC once a week 🙂 my mom and sisters love it too 🙂 So tasty and crunchy
Right! I love the crunchy chicken. It’s so good!
Last time we went to KFC it was so salty we couldn’t eat the chicken. It was always one of my favorite places to drive thru.
That’s sad to hear. I’ve never had it to salty before. Must have been one of the workers. 🙁
I haven’t had KFC in forever! This is great buy! Next time I’m looking for a quick dinner, I’m going to pick this up!
I hadn’t gone in years until recently as well. I can’t believe I waited so long. I love their food!
We love KFC in our house. And with all the food you get in the meal deals, it’s enough to feed our big family and have leftovers! It’s a nice change from me cooking!
It is nice to have a great deal like this when you don’t want to cook. We definitely had leftovers too!
I can’t even remember the last time I had Kentucky Fried Chicken!! I actually prefer making my own at home!
I love KFC chicken. I have never had anything better. It’s m favorite.
It’s sounds like you guys had an awesome family meal. It’s great when you find a place that even the kids love.
I completely agree. My kids can be picky at times, and they loved KFC.
Your daughters are adorable. We love KFC! I am suddenly craving for their chicken after reading your post.
Thank you! I can’t wait to go back to KFC. I love their food.
Though I love to cook for my family, having the busy work schedule I do, there are times when I’m too worn out to cook. I really love the options KFC has to offer.
I agree. They have some great options for great prices.
We don’t have KFC often. Wish I knew the secret recipe.
Me too! I’d love to know it!
OOoh, I am a huge fan of KFC. Let me rephrase that, my whole family is a huge fan… we love KFC nights and this sounds like a great deal to me…
It is a wonderful deal. Great for families that don’t feel like cooking or just want to go out. 🙂
We just had KFC the other night. It is always delicious. I like to get it on busy nights.
I love KFC so much! It tastes just like homemade!!
I saw this the other day when I was there. I always buy their $5 fill ups for lunch. Love them
I love those fill ups too. Such great deals!
KFC has been a family favorite. I remember seeing old Col. Sander’s face printed on those paper bags. Brought me a lot of memories from childhood.
Yep! I remember going as a child as well. In fact I think that was the last time I had gone til recently.
When I was pregnant I had cravings for their biscuits! You really can’t find that flavor anywhere else!
I completely agree. The biscuits are amazing!
My family loves KFC. It’s an easy dinner option but it’s also so tasty.
Right! It is a great dinner option and I agree about it being tasty. I love their chicken.
Now I am officially craving for KFC chickens! Love it!
KFC is a great place for chicken. The best I’ve had yet.
When we are craving for good chicken, we go to KFC, they have the best ones! NOw you are making me cracve for it lol.
They sure do have the best chicken! I’m glad to hear your family loves it too.
What a great deal. We don’t have one in our area – believe it or not – or else I would use it!
It is a wonderful deal. That’s to bad you don’t have one near by.
We love KFC here too! The Grilled Chicken is my favorite and the coleslaw!
I haven’t tried the grilled chicken yet. I want to the next time I go though.
Now you making me drool for KFC! Hubby hates it but I secretly indulge especially in the hot wings.
All their food is so good! I love everything.
I love the sides at KFC – what a great value and a plus the kiddos like it too!
I agree! The sides are amazing!
I just had their chicken earlier. I love that their food is very affordable.
I agree. It’s very affordable.
Ughhhh wish I didn’t see this right now lol… I so have a kfc craving thanks to you. I will have to check this deal out!
KFC is so good though! I’m ready to go back and get more of their side dishes and chicken. Yum. 🙂
I haven’t had KFC in forever. I love their Mac n cheese. I will have to make a stop soon now that you got it in my head!
I haven’t had the mac n cheese yet. I’ll have to try it the next time I stop in.
I’ve been looking at the $5 meals from KFC – more of my speed. However, the $20 offer has more food that my sweetie and I can eat – great for a large family!
It is a great deal! We still had leftovers after the four of us ate too.
Aah this looks so good, I miss fried chicken! It sounds like a great buy too!
It’s an amazing buy. KFC is one of my favorite places to go out to eat. Everything is so good.
