I stopped here because I was starving and it was a little off the highway that I was on. I have been to other PDQs so I decided to stop at this one because I wanted a "healthier" option for fast food and was not in the mood for many other food choices at that time. The drive thru took a bit of a long time and I am not too sure why because it seemed like there was more than enough people working but that may just be me looking too much into it. Anyways I finally made it to the front and placed my order, the person working the section seemed to be bothered through my entire order and when I pulled up to the window they seemed to be annoyed working as well. I ordered the grilled chicken slices with fries and a drink, as well as a tender meal with tots and a drink. The grilled chicken slices were very small compared to other times that I have been to other PDQ locations. The fries were hot but very greasy like they weren't strained before being put in the bag for me. The tots were on the cold side as well. The regular chicken tenders were good but nothing to write home about without their buffalo sauce you can ask for to dip everything in. I will probably pass this location up if I am in the area again and looking for some grilled chicken slices unfortunately.

Great cross cut fries

Not too bad for our first time at this restaurant. The fried spicy chicken sandwich was good as well as the fries. The grilled chicken sandwich was dry and not very good. The sweet tea was good. The staff was friendly. I like Chik-Fil-a better but this place is good once in a while.

Great server!

I'm giving this place 5 stars because of great service! The food was awesome! I asked for extra heat and I got it! I liked it so much I bought a shirt!

PDQ is a great place for the family to go. I know that I took my son and we had a ball. There is a guy there making balloon animals and what not, friendly staff and a nice, new smell all around. But what about the food? Meh... it's another fast food chicken joint. They serve nothing but that. Their milkshakes are better than anywhere else on the east-side of State Road 70 or State Road 64, but that doesn't say much. I had the buffalo chicken sandwich and so did my son. We both liked it just fine, but there is just something missing. Either way, it is a great place to go with the fam on a Saturday afternoon for a bite. Treat yourself to a milkshake and even a balloon animal for the kiddos.

Not exactly fast food but with fresh ingredients and a made to order menu, this place is worth the wait. I've been 3x and the only complaint is how long it takes, but the wait is about the same as the drive through at steak & Shake but without all the grease. They would have rec'd 5 stars but they forgot the Sauce for my "Saucey Bowl"

For a pub, they actually have great food. It's a scratch kitchen so you can customize your order…read more The Florida Harvest salad was amazing. I got the side size and it was perfect but comes in a very small bowl making it hard to eat. If you get the side size, strongly suggest asking them to put it on a plate. The entree size actually looks the same amount of salad, but on a normal size dish. The blackened shrimp was cooked perfectly and the berry vinaigrette was amazing. It does have a pub feel so keep that in mind when going. It also gets very crowded so I suggest going at an "off" peak time if you want to try it.

Came here on a Thursday night for Bingo night and it was so much fun!…read more Some tips if you're going for Bingo: -Make a reservation ahead of time, and come early so you can eat first and then focus on your bingo cards! -Bingo starts around 6pm. There are colorful bingo markers on the table. -Bring cash! There's an ATM at the front of the restaurant if you forget. -Someone comes around to your table each round, and you can buy as many cards as you want for that round. Each round uses a different color of paper and a different shape to win. -Cards are $1 each for the first few rounds and $2 for the last couple of rounds. The jackpot for the first couple of rounds was around $250! -The numbers are called out and shown on multiple screens all over the restaurant, so it's easy to keep up. As for dinner, we ordered: Blue crab fritters, onion smashburger, shrimp & grits, and seafood pasta. I would skip the seafood pasta but I LOVED the blue crab fritters! They were so tasty, lightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a great sauce on the side. The burger was also good, but the real winner was the fries. They were perfectly crispy and so good that we ordered another basket for the table! The shrimp and grits were also so well flavored. I would definitely go back just for the shrimp and grits.

But let's talk about the food, beginning with the off brand ketchup. Not Heinz. Rookie mistake. I'm from Philadelphia where the argument is always whose cheesesteaks do you prefer--Jim's or Pat's? If you're from Phila, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. My guess is that the chefs here have never been to Jim's nor Pat's to experience a real Philly cheesesteak. Although you can customize it, the cheesesteak is offered with shaved American, onions and hot peppers. Authentic Philly cheesesteaks have freshly chopped onions and GREEN peppers (not hot) with Cheese Whiz--which is how I ordered mine. They were happy to accommodate. Unfortunately, the balance of the entire sandwich was off. The onions were sparse and the green peppers tasted canned, not fresh. The whiz was not really noticeable, and it was all served on a room temperature roll--not warm, not toasted. A true South Philly cheesesteak is a hearty sandwich stuffed with meat, a healthy serving of fresh sauteed vegetables and dripping with cheese. I was served an okay steak sandwich that did not remind me of a culinary experience in South Philly. There's a reason the line for Jim's goes around the block even though there are dozens of tables and that people go to Pat's in the middle of winter to order from the outdoor walk up window. We had no trouble getting seated at one of the few tables in South Philly Cheesesteaks.
