We love our PDQ!!! For fast food, it is the best tasting. Great service and staff. Simply the BEST!

This was my first time here and it was marvelous, my son wanted to go so we did. The restaurant was immaculate, they even have a little sink with soap and napkins so you can wash your hands before you eat. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the food came out fast hot and fresh. They also have military Monday's where active duty and veterans get 50% off their entire order, being a vet that means the world to me. Love this place, they have outside and inside seating a TV and music playing but neither of which overpower your dining experience, you can still hear your conversation. They really do an exceptional job here. read more

The quality of the chicken and the breading has gone way down hill. Completely different. As are the fries, they're knock offs of you know who. read more

This is a perfect place to enjoy the view of Manatee River. Food is excellent and service is great daily catch is our favorite dish.

Ate here for first time for quick bite. Friendly staff, fast-fresh food, but I thought the fresh tenders meals were slightly expensive. Over $10 for a 5-piece meal... Woah! But I will say that it was delicious...everything was fresh and great! The tenders were juicy, I tired all 7 homemade sauces and they all were delicious, the fries were my favorite because they truly were fresh cut & cooked to perfection. And then there's the fresh baked chocolate chunk cookie that melted in my mouth. This place is new so I just hope they keep up this momentum, if so, I'll pay the $10 to eat here. I can't wait to try the shakes & a chicken sandwich & salad. read more

I expected very fresh chicken fingers and that's what I received. They did short me on some of the extra ranch I asked for but that wasn't a big deal. I asked for some and they quickly handwd me a few. You can't go wrong with PDQ. If I had the $$$ to quit my IT job and open one of these, I'd definitely do it. PDQ knows how to treat their customers and their employees are always friendly. All of their sauces are made in-house and they're great! read more

Ate at PDQ because it was close to the interstate and our hotel. I had never heard of it before. I loved the atmosphere inside the restaurant. Clean, open and friendly. I'm a huge ketchup fan and they had a spout so you did not need to bother opening package after package. The food was okay. I liked their fries a lot. They were seasoned with the perfect blend of spices. I had the grilled chicken tenders and they were okay. I'd be more likely to order the fried next time. They have about 8-10 homemade sauces to select from and they provide you with a lot of sauce so no worries there. Overall, it was a positive experience and I'd eat here again. read more

Decided to try this place out while I was on a break from work, I was excited because I heard from my coworkers that this place was the same quality as Culvers. They were sorely mistaken, the prices might be somewhat similar to Culvers but the menu is definitely lacking because they only specialize in chicken tenders. Also to point out the serving size is not worth the price the sandwiches should be considered sliders, they are that small. The only thing this place has going for itself is that it's upkeep within the restaurant is great, Freestyle Coke Machines and the Fries they serve are like miniature Five Guys fries. I will most likely not come back here unless they change the portion sizes, for me I'll just stick with Culvers. read more

I wonder if anyone in this place knows how to say,"THANK YOU" after they take your money. Not anything special here. I would rather go down the street to Chik-Filet. read more

Crispy chicken nuggets and waffle fries...so good! Needed a quick dinner and my Uber driver suggested PDQ...I'm from Texas and wasn't sure where to go. This hit the spot and the staff are great. read more

Been here several times, and consistently due to physical location and layout it is a terrible I convenience to get to. That in combination with trash service and the speed at which the employees seem to work at, gives for a terrible impression of what a restaurant should be like. However this particular visit was the tipping point. While on a limited time break from work, took on the challenge of dealing with the traffic just to get there to wait in the drive through line behind a single vehicle for 15 minutes forcing me to actually reverse out to leave or else be late. Will not be coming back which is a diss appointment cause they have good shakes. read more

I went through the drive thru and ordered a 5 piece tender meal, tots, a drink, and some fries. I received COLD and UNSALTED fries, luke warm tater tots, and burnt tenders. Apparently they recently changed their sauces so they are no longer homemade, and they are all disgusting to say the least. My ranch had a yellow residue around the rim which could have been from them packaging it earlier in the day, but it was disgusting. I am extremely disappointed with the taste and quality of my food. When I called the store to ask why my ranch was nasty, my tenders were burnt, and my fries were cold and unsalted, I got a mediocre response. I will not be returning to this establishment and I will no longer recommend PDQ to others. If you love PDQ, this location isn't for you... read more

Clean, healthy, straightforward menu and good for a family. Would recommend for lunches and a fast light dinner.

PDQ is pretty good for a fast food joint. The restaurant is always clean, the food is always hot. My favorite is their fresh REAL lemonade, not the fake stuff! They have free wifi, staff is friendly and minimal wait time. I like that they have several dipping sauces to choose from for the chicken tenders. read more

Wut! NO MORE ZUCCHINI FRIES!! Plus with the SR70 construction we were the only people in there a 4:30 on a Sat. Nice but weird. Not as good as when they first opened. read more

I was really looking forward to an all chicken tender place but this is not it. I have eaten here twice and while their chicken sandwich is good it doesn't make up for the dry chicken tenders or the high prices. Since they don't have a standard microphone ordering and you talk to a reg person I still can't figure out how they screwed my order up. I left with an extra drink which I apparently paid for and no Blueberry coleslaw which I also paid for. I know I won't be going back there but they always have a full parking lot like Culvers does which I will never understand that! Oh well to each their own, I will have to wait a bit longer for a good chicken joint until then I will perfect my own. Cheers read more

I have went passed this place so many times finally Saturday we stopped! What the heck have I been missing!!!! This place is so good! The chicken is the food bomb. Can't wait to go back and kinda glad they aren't closer to me cause not going to lie I would be eating twice a week! We had the bowl let's say very filling. And the bacon chicken with red slaw amazing. read more

Never have I found a better drive thru and quick "fast food" area that I have loved. I got the Hawaiian grilled chicken burger which included pineapples and coleslaw with a sweet Siracusa sauce. I also got the zucchini fries and a crabapple cookie! Best meal I had in two days down in Florida. Loved how quick and fresh everything tasted. They have so many great healthy options. read more

Been the second time in 3 week food been cold and i already spoke to a manger! Today be my last day come to this location. I cant feed my kids cold food! It's ridiculous! read more

For fast food this is tops. Great salads, chicken sandwiches with pineapple and more. Chicken nuggets are better than Chick-fa-lay- really! If you want to eat healthier than any routine burger joint stop and come here and treat your self. Staff are friendly, place is always clean and they even have a hand wash station for you and the kids. Check them out? read more

Excellent fast food restaurant! Chicken tenders are top notch here since it's their signature food. Well worth a trip if that's what you're craving. The fries are really good too, much better than your average and go great with the chicken. The real kicker here is the huge sauce selection! Many delicious and unique sauces to dip your tenders/fries in and they'll give you as many as you want. All made in house! Try the Ranch and spicy Sriracha read more

Excellent, service and food. Management tries to please and works with charities and the middle class working people. Food is fresh and healthy.Great platters and holiday dishes look for the specials and bargains well worth it. read more

We are in town for a softball tournament and have limited time between games. We placed an order over $30 and left with no sauces, ketchup and dressing. We love PDQ but did not appreciate the lack of quality control check before giving us our order. Please work on this!! read more

Great food, great service. The owners were very thoughtful and involved in all aspects of our experience. We will definitely be back next time we come to Florida. From your Northern Friends. read more

The selection here is limited and the quality mediocre at best. The milkshakes are where it's at! We tried both the chicken tenders and chicken pieces and didn't care for either. A bit fatty for my taste. The available sauces sound better than they taste. The fries were good, but again, the draw here is the milkshakes. I don't plan on heading back for the food....but would definitely make a quick stop in the future for a shake! read more

I will have to say, what a pleasure coming into an establishment and finding clean tables, friendly staff and delicious food. All the dishes are tasty. We love coming here. read more

I attempted to order via Uber Eats and the restaurant cancelled my order. This would have been my first time trying their food while traveling to this area. Well thanks for this type of customer service as confirmation that it would have been a waste of my time and money. Excellent way to treat travelers who are simply ordering food to be delivered while resting at the hotel. read more

Some of the best fast food ever. Freshly cooked chicken tenders either breaded and fried or grilled (no breading) comes with your choice of 4 different sauces and fries. I had the grilled chicken on a house salad that had craisins and walnuts with the honey dressing. Yummy it was all fresh and the chicken was warm, did not taste like microwave either. Their housemade lemonade was a little too sweet for me but with the unsweetened ice tea added was just right. Refills are free. Second time in I had to try the fried chicken tenders with the saracha sauce, another hit if you like it hot. Lunch and or dinner for under $10. So much help that it was ready by the time I paid. read more

Not a fan at all. My visit struck me as a glorified fast food stop...only the menu had less choices and it was priced higher. I felt like I was cattle being herded through the line with people shouting and rushing around. The food was greasy and relatively flavorless. I won't be going back. read more

Ate here for a fundraiser my daughter's class was having. I had been once before without being impressed by the Caesar salad. This time I had the crispy chicken sandwich and my husband had the buffalo chicken sandwich. It was quite tasty! The chicken was very juicy and delicious! The fries are seasoned to perfection. My husbands buffalo sandwich had a great flavor. Atmosphere was modern and fun. My only complaint is when I told them my name for the order they put the wrong name and I waited a bit before asking where my food was. Unfortunately the were calling the wrong name and my food sat until I went to ask where my food was. The chef was very kind and said he would re-make everything if our food was cold. Definitely will be visiting again! read more

Food is nothing too memorable. However it is fairly priced and a very clean, friendly environment. Would highly recommend if ever with a group on a road trip or just looking for something different to change it up. read more

If you're wanting a cute little salad/sandwich place, this is not it. It is a glorified fast food restaurant where you pay more for the same food you'd get through the drive thru. My boyfriend ordered the famed tenders (which he said were better at Poppi's Place across the street) and I ordered a salad. The dressing was homemade which is the only redeeming part of my meal. But the chicken on my salad was so rubbery... not the same chicken they serve in their tenders. Most of the salad was white flavorless cabbage. The salad was McDonald's quality at best. read more

Awesome Chicken tenders! Love PDQ chicken has always been fresh and the place is clean and fast service

Their sauces are really good. I think their chicken is average, I mean chic-fil-a is probably better but the fries and shakes make up for it. read more

Received a few FREE Kids Meal coupons from my son's summer camp! Decided to give the place a try Friday for dinner...My son LOVED it, hey didn;t force me to buy ANYTHING to redeem his free meal coupon, and the atmosphere was nice, even that bathrooms were clean! We will definitely be back! read more

Our first time here . We tried crispyChicken salad was really good and fresh , and chicken tender were excellent .Gave us plenty of sauce .fast service too . We did drive thru this time . I will try different stuff next time . Would definitely go back read more

WOW!!! Best PDQ we've ever been to. The manager was absolutely amazing. Very kind, sweet and attentive! We arrived 2 minutes after closing and he still accommodated us! Would definitely go back again!! read more

Laura is the hardest worker and serves everyone with a smile! Also the fries are good
