Spicy chicken sandwich and Parmesan broccoli
Kerry C.

We don't know Brandon very well at all, and it was very hard to find a fast place to eat on a Sunday afternoon. Luckily, we saw the tiny PDQ sign tucked away on the side of the road. We had to make a U-turn to get there but it was worth it. Of course, it seemed like 1/2 of town thought the same thing. The drive through wrapped around the building and onto the side street, so we decided to just park and go inside. I was going to get tenders until we saw their light board promoting their new spicy chicken sandwich. Both hubby and I were, YES! Ok, let's get the side dishes out of the way. Waffle fries? Great as always. Parmesan broccoli? Always worth the up-charge. How in the world can a fast food restaurant do broccoli better than fancy places? Who knows... That spicy chicken sandwich? Delicious. First bite, good chicken. Second bite, ok, there's some spice. By the third bite, wow! Definitely a slow burn there, great surprise. Totally enjoyed it. It can hold its own in the spicy chicken sandwich wars. As for the restaurant itself? Clean. The busboy was sweet and busy as a bee. Bathroom was spotless. The food trays were being carried out by someone who appeared to be the manager. That long drive through? We were sitting by the window and it was moving, so I'm sure they were hopping back there as well. Highly recommend this PDQ if you are in Brandon.

5 piece grilled chicken tender, waffle fries, buffalo bleu dipping sauce and a vanilla Diet Coke.

This is the first time I tried a PDQ on the west coast of Florida and it was very good. The restaurant was set up to follow Covid-19 social distancing policies and people seemed to adhere to them. I had the 5 piece geilled chicken tenders, with waffle fries and a vanilla Diet Coke. Placing the order was easy and the person who took it, gave me a very nice greeting when I approached the counter. My meal was delivered to my table in a paperbag and it was hot and fresh!!! They opened at 11AM and I arrived at 10:58AM, so everything was feshly cooked to order, which I think they try to do, but aren't always successful at. The cost of my meal was just under $11, which I think is on the high side. However, the restaurant is nice, the food was fresh and I'm a fan of the chain. The reason I didn't give them the 5th star was because they just opened and the booth I sat at had some food on one side of it and the table did have some crumbs, which I wiped away with a napkin. I'd definitely come back to this location.

I went to PDQ for lunch and was surprised how busy it was at 1:00pm. I got the chicken sandwich and waffle fries. The chicken is always juicy and the garlic sauce they have is delicious to add. The waffle fries are crispy and cooked well!

Food arrived Pretty Darn Quick! The place is clean, employees are friendly and the food is yummy. Well lit, theres booths, tables and high top seating as well as outside seating. This is my third or fourth time here and Im never disappointed. The chicken is delicious whether its grilled or fried, the sandwiches Ive had on previous visits have been very tasty but I usually get a salad. Fries are good too, however Ive never had a shake or any drink other a fountain drink. PDQ salad $8.49 Fountain drink $1.99 Will be back again :)

The Cali Club Sandwich
Karen V.

This was my first visit. The drive thru experience was wonderful. The service was very professional, quick, and friendly. I ordered the Cali Club with zucchini fries. The grilled chicken on the sandwich was a pretty good size and tasted great. I liked the addition of avocado and homemade ranch.There was a good amount of lettuce, tomato, bacon, and avocado. Could it be improved? Absolutely. I'd prefer slices of avocado instead of the mashed avocado. The bun to chicken ratio was also off. I had quite a bit of the bun left over. The zucchini fries were meh. My mother said they were tasteless, and I had to remind her a couple of times that it was zucchini and not potato fries. They were wimpy, and didn't have any seasoning on them. The ones at Jimmy Hula's are better. The fries did taste a little better after dipping them into the creamy garlic sauce. Get a sauce to pair with it (a choice of sauce comes with the meal) or you'll be very disappointed. I give the food a solid 3 stars. The extra star is for the service which I thought was better than the food. The convenience of giving your order directly to a person (face-to-face) instead of through a microphone made the drive thru experience better than all the others. I wasn't expecting that. I also wanted to be fair because I haven't tried their bowls or fried chicken sandwiches yet. I want to try the Honey Butter or Pimento Crunch next time. The pictures of those sandwiches look fantastic.

Always a good value for the money we come here quite often and have some tenders loving. The manager Jamie does a wonderful job with this restaurant. The food is always good and the bathrooms are clean. We will always be coming back here

This is all that was left by the time I decided my experience was review worthy. So good.
Jeannette F.

The experience began with the person at the window taking my order. Not sure if it's her but my receipt says Leilani. Very very sweet polite and MOST of all patient. I am not familiar with the menu and she efficiently assisted me to ordering my PDQ salad with spicy nuggets tossed in bullafo Bleu cheese. Sound like something you order at a sit down meal. Well this experience and quality of food has my vote!!! Yum yummy. And Leilani thank you for your excellent service.

Chicken sandwich
Aaron S.

Chicken was soggy not crispy nor did it taste fresh as advertised. I asked for 2 of every sauce I got 1 of 3. This was also a drive thru order .. food should of been fresh. Very disappointed

That's my gripe that I had to really look for just to be fair. The burger was great. Got the BayBay. Egg was perfect as well as the heat and spice. Fries were plentiful and perfectly done. These are those skin on kinda potatoes. Only thing is, I wish there was some malt vinegar at the tables for the fries, but that's just me. I did get the burger rolls to go (kinda like egg rolls) and they were good after a 30 minute drive home, but would definitely have to get them again in restaurant to give them a solid review. Tables are usually tables of 4, but there are a few long tables there for seating, I think the dining room can hold about 30ish people? Friendly service when I visited. Definitely recommend!

My partner ordered the cheddar bacon bbq burger and I ordered garlic Parmesan wings and we both added old bay fries. Came out to $40.

Date: August 5, 2026 Time: 5:45 PM…read more I want to recognize Jaelynn for the exceptional professionalism and composure she demonstrated while handling a very difficult customer interaction. I was dining in the restaurant with my husband and daughter when I witnessed the entire interaction. A customer had placed an order through DoorDash but never received it. After becoming frustrated because DoorDash was not resolving the issue, he came into the store visibly upset. Although the situation was outside of Jaelynn's control, she remained calm, empathetic, and respectful throughout the entire interaction. Rather than becoming defensive, she listened to the customer's concerns, diffused the situation with patience and grace, and did everything she could to make things right even though it wasn't the store or her fault. Her ability to stay composed under pressure turned what could have been a much more negative experience into one that reflected positively on the restaurant. As a customer observing the interaction firsthand, I was genuinely impressed by her professionalism, compassion, and commitment to outstanding customer service. Jaelynn represented the company exceptionally well, and I believe she deserves recognition for the way she handled such a challenging situation.

The selection of condiments is great too with all the usuals, plus avocado, red peppers, spicy pepper relish () and more!

The bread is fresh and toasted using the type of roll through toaster that some may remember Quiznos used to use. With the addition of a bag of any of the chip selection, or a side of chili (also extremely good) and you are bound to leave with a potbelly! Give them a try.
