Great hours.

I got the nuggets sauced up with Korea BBQ sauce and the spicy tender meal. I've been to PDQ before and I've come to the conclusion that the tenders are best crispy and either regular or spicy, but not sauced up. The meat in the tender is VERY TENDER and saucing them up create a mushy experience, especially if you're not going to eat them at the restaurant. The nuggets, however, are good sauced up. The Nashville Hot and the Korean BBQ options are great if you don't mind the heat. The waffle fries are only good if you're going to eat them right away. The fries don't travel well at all, but if you are going to take them for a ride, leave the bag open and the box cracked a bit or they'll steam and you'll have wilted and floppy waffle fries. The Texas toast is OK, but not great. Stick with the chicken tenders and the nuggs, and if you can have them right away you'll have a significantly better experience. FYI, the chicken is great the next day if you air fry them for a a few minutes at 350 degrees.

Super happy with our chicken sandwich and fries here. It was perfect. Came here because it's conveniently located next to our frequented Wawa in Clearwater. PDQ was fast, inexpensive, and convenient. Wanted something that's super portable to take to the beach and this is it. Drive through was easy as pie and everything came just as we asked for it. Really enjoyed our honey butter chicken sandwiches and love waffle fries. Had the honey mustard sauce, pdq sauces and honey bbq sauce. The bbq sauce was my fave out of them.

First time here. Zucchini fries and chicken tenders

Once again this store took a nosedive! Maybe it's the night time staff??? Pulled up to the drive thru at 7:30pm & ordered 2 combos of 5 piece tenders. One with mac n cheese & one with fries. We upgraded the drinks to large iced tea. I requested Buffalo, ranch & buffy bleu sauces. First they don't have tea. I asked what other sugar free options they had. He said Minute Maid lemonade. I said please just remove the drinks. He says ok... then tells me it's $31.75... same price as it was with the drinks! I said I'm not paying for the drinks if you don't have them. So he goes to get a manager. This chic has an attitude because she has to actually get up & do her job. I said I just want the drinks removed since apparently they can't make more tea... she says yeah it takes 20 minutes to make... to make tea?? Sure... so she finally removed the drinks & hands us a bag that is not correct. No sauces, no napkins, no utensils & the boxes are not even closed so food is spilling out all over the bag. This was put together by a manager?? Not a very good one... I can excuse the place being a mess but I can't excuse the total incompetence by someone claiming to be a manager....

Wonderful service, fresh-tasting food and the usual excellent experience I have at every PDQ in the area. Raina took our order and was so sweet and patient. She even brought us dipping sauces (she made suggestions on which are the most popular!) for our zucchini fries. Will definitely return to this location.

PDQ has a menu a lot like Chick-fil-A's, but I think I like PDQ better. PDQ's food is just as good as Chick-fil-A's but you get more for your money at PDQ. Also, I like vinegar on my fries and PDQ has bottles of malt vinegar at the condiments table. I had never tried a PDQ before this September and I liked it so much that I ended up making about a half dozen visits to this location during my recent two month stay over in Clearwater Beach. I usually got the four piece chicken tenderloin "Tenders" meal. They have a veranda with outdoor seating. One thing that could improve this chain would be for them to add a "sweet & sour" dipping sauce to the menu.

Interior

It is kind of difficult to do a review on a fast food restaurant but here goes. I like the set up of the interior. Seating is adequate and comfortable. When you order you do so at the counter. The chicken was served hot and tasted good. The fries were warm and could have Ben hotter. I had the quest bowl which was okay. This would be a good place for a quick bite to eat. This place would not be a spot for a romantic dinner. Prices were reasonable. It was noisy with a lot of kids making a lot of. Noise.

Wow! What a pleasant surprise! This location is due west of the Publix on Gulf to Bay and Belcher. The exterior and interior are upscale, trendy and roomy. After I ordered, I sat at a very comfy booth. I ordered the Tender Meal with 3 pieces. ($7.29) I chose the fries and it comes with a regular drink. I also ordered a small Zucchini Fries ($3.49) By the time I walked over to get my drink, my food was ready. The chicken tenders were fresh, moist and wonderful! (see pic) The Zucchini Fries were hot, crispy and nicely seasoned. For dipping sauces for the chicken, I chose the honey mustard and the chipolte BBQ sauce. Both good. For the zucchini fries I opted for the ranch dressing because you have to get ranch for fried veggies! This is the South, after all! Frankly, I was surprised that the food all tasted as good as it did. I couldn't find fault with any aspect of my meal. I will return!

Puts Chic-fil-a to shame! The BEST chicken sandwiches I ever had! They have a much better and larger variety as well.
