    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"

I stood waiting at the counter for around 10-15 minutes while employees saw me standing there and never acknowledged me or explained anything. What made the situation worse was that after making me wait all that time, an employee finally came over only to tell me to use the kiosk instead. If the location expects customers to use kiosks, employees should communicate that immediately instead of leaving people standing there ignored. The issue is not just the wait time -- it's the lack of customer service and communication. Some customers, especially older customers or people unfamiliar with the kiosks, need assistance. A simple "I'll be right with you" or "you can order at the kiosk if you'd like faster service" would have solved the problem immediately. Corporate should understand that the kiosk system is hurting the customer experience when employees stop paying attention to customers at the counter. Customers should not feel ignored in the restaurant.
