Love the quick speed, southern hospitality, delicious healthier options of grilled tenders and steamed broccoli with Parmesan! I love that the broccoli is still a little crisp! The garlic cream sauce is very good! read more

I've eaten at the Ocala location and this one is just as good. Easy to order, friendly service, clean location to dine in. I had a grilled chicken tenders combo, 5 pieces, honey bbq sauce, diet coke, and a side garden salad which made for an easy and healthy lunch. Close to the hotel we were staying at. They also have a drive thru here. read more

I really appreciate how much this establishment does for first responders and kids. It truly means a lot to see businesses that give back to the community. The food is always fresh, the staff is friendly and always smiling, and there's plenty of parking. The inside is also very spacious and comfortable. Overall, a great place with great service, and I definitely appreciate what they do for the community! read more

Great chicken strips!!! I like the spicy ones. Don't like waffle fries though. Swap out on sides to expensive. Usually get buffalo sauce and honey mustard and mix together for the best of both worlds read more

We went through the drive-thru today and came home to eat our food only to find a fingernail in our drink. I called the manager, will be calling the health department. This is so unsanitary. Why are these employees not wearing gloves? This is disgusting. I will share this with EVERYONE I know. NEVER again will we be patrons of this nasty establishment. Eat there at your own risk. I wish I could share the picture here. That is so disgusting read more

This is one of my daughters fav places. We got the Buffy blu samwich, tenders and the spicy chicken samwich. Everything was perfect and the service was stellar. Our only upset was they had no milkshakes. We can't wait to come back. read more

What happened? Easy meal to avoid Valentine restaurant crowds but still treat the kids. They loved PDQ. Unfortunately all we received after a 15 minute wait (my husband said they were nice and apologetic, gave us two cookies), was a new type of chicken sandwich (large but flat, breading falling off, seasoning not good) and cold French fries (not sure if these changed too, or the flavor lacked based on them being cold). Either way they are going into the trash, all left over at the end along with the majority of the sandwiches. The only good thing I can say is the tomatoes and lettuce were fresh and employees nice. Seems they changed their product, and it's not a good thing. Disappointed and won't be back. Pics show what you still reflect on your menu compared to what we received. read more

Friendly staff and yummy food. I go often on my lunch break with coworkers. The food comes out very fast and it always tastes good. It is more pricey than regular fast food, but I think it's worth it. The ranch is sooo good. read more

Another John's favorite for fast food. I sprung for the kids meal for Riley and knew, I'd get to eat some nuggets. Sure enough, it was a refuse-to-eat day for my grandson, so I got some tasty nuggets, but Riley did enjoy his chocolate milk. The mac-n-cheese was also great. John loves their chicken strips and the variety of sauces! Fast drive thru and close to home = a convenient stop for a quick meal to go. read more

Drive thru girl couldn't get order right. Got my promo, paid $.29 for sauce but didn't get the rest of my order.

PDQ has always been just ok for me. I've found the chicken to need seasoning and the bowls to be a little uninspired but I've always enjoyed the tots and shakes. When I saw that they were offering a holiday special with a fried turkey cutlet topped with cranberry relish, herb mayo, and lettuce, I decided to try it. They went all out to make this a Fall holiday meal. In addition to the sandwich, it came with sweet potato waffle fries paired with a spiced marshmallow dip and a pumpkin spice shake. The fried turkey sandwich had all of the flavor that I wished their chicken had. The patty was juicy and tender. It was really good even without all of the toppings, which I got on the side. Despite the fact that I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise, the herb one they offered was excellent and it was reminiscent of the flavors in stuffing. The fries were good but the marshmallow dip was cloyingly sweet and I resorted to using regular ketchup. The shake was ok. Other fast food places make a much better pumpkin pie shake such as Freddy's. All in all, this holiday meal was very successful. It definitely transported me to the Thanksgiving lunch table! read more

My simple chicken sandwich meal took them 20 minutes to bring out to me. It was also $20. Two cars got their orders behind me while I was parked out front so long waiting for my DRIVE THRU order that I had to turn my car off. Food was good but absolutely ridiculous service. read more

I Tried this place again after a few years. I wasn't a fan of the old fries but the waffle fries are definitely an upgrade. My friend recommended that I try the tenders tossed in the buffalo bleu dressing and then to dip them in the creamy garlic sauce. I'd say this may be the most unhealthy option, but it was definitely pleasant on the tastebuds. The tenders were pretty nicely sized and I would have actually been full from the 3 piece meal. I can usually eat a large amount of food but this was more than enough. Plenty of calories and plenty of food. I don't know if I'll crave it to keep wanting to come back. If I'm in the area I'll have it as an option. I'll have to try the chicken sandwiches again. I wasn't the biggest fan of them years ago. read more

Found this place while on the way to the grocery store; in town for the 4th of July weekend and wanted a quick bite while we were out; we passed by this restaurant and decided to go back and give it a try; ordered the family meal which included 12 tenders, two "large" sides, and a shareable salad. The tenders were tasty, the black beans and rice were just ok; the waffle fries were good, the salad was average. I tried the blueberry vinaigrette with my salad and it was quite unique. The young lady at the window (we ordered via the drive thru) was nice and patient with us as we decided what to order (good customer service). read more

Went out on a rainy Saturday to pick up food for my wife and I. Had a great coupon for two combo meals. We got two five piece tender meals, fries and two drinks for 10 bucks. That's worth a great review alone!! The tenders were huge, and really good. The fries were good. Service at the drive thru was fast and friendly. I have eaten inside one other time, shortly after they opened. Same friendly service and good food!! read more

The saying is true, "You don't always need silverware to eat good food - a left and a right hand will do." Especially, when it comes to quick, delicious bites at PDQ. This was my second time visiting PDQ. The first time, I ordered my meal via the drive-through (not so good but, the customer service was great!) I think I ordered a salad based off of the cashier's top favorite. His favorite was obviously, not my favorite, LOL! On my second visit, my colleague actually suggested we eat there for lunch. Since I couldn't make up my mind. To my surprised, the second visit won me over! Onc again, the customer service was spot on. We dined-in which was a even greater experience. And my PDQ Classic cheeseburger with fries and queso dip was to die for! I don't even think I exhaled in between bites. And oh baby!!!! Their sweet tea... . I PDQ! read more

Ordered the Crispy Chicken Sandwich (hold the pickles) with honey mustard and pdq sauce. Ladies and gentlemen I'm a Chick-fil-A advocate this sandwich needs some respect on it's name. You might ask how's it better then Chick-fil-A? The veggies were twice as fresh. The lettuce stayed crunchy. The chicken in the sandwich wasn't as big as your fist, but took you to flavor town. Even their rice and beans brought it's own unique taste. Not to mention 15 minutes less of a wait then Chick-fil-A. The customer service isn't Chick-fil-A quality, but that's the only spot Chick-fil-A will forever hold the crown. read more

Fresh tenders, salads, and sandwiches. My first visit and I'm a fan. PDQ stands for People Dedicated to Quality and it's so true. PDQ's menu is not overwhelming. Their salads are definitely fresh. I had the grilled chicken salad [grilled chicken tenders served over mixed greens, tomatoes, candied almonds and craisins (cranberry raisins) with blueberry-ginger vinaigrette dressing]. Their lemonade is tangy, but refreshing. The staff is very friendly. It's cool that the guys wear clean white chef-like uniforms. The restaurant looks so clean, bright, and inviting. I like the open layout. They also have outside seating with mists coming down the side of the roof on hot sunny days. read more

I've actually been dying to come here ever since someone told me they have a pimento cheese sandwich. I went through the drive through which was quick and efficient. I ordered the pimento cheese sandwich with fries and a chocolate shake. I was surprised to find the generous portion of pimento cheese thrown on the sandwich as well as the layer of chips. With all the different flavors of cheese, fried chicken, bacon, bread I would of thought there would of been more flavor. The fries are skinny steak fries- not my favorite in general. I asked for a side of ranch and was sadly disappointed in the small size- think half the size you would get at Moes for salsa. The chocolate shake tasted more like vanilla than chocolate. If I ever come back here I will prob try all new things read more

My first time here was last year at the Yelp party and I've been bugging my husband since that time about coming back here. (We live in Riverside and very rarely get to this side of town.) Finally made it back here on Saturday and my husband admitted that I was RIGHT, and that this place is pretty awesome. It's visually very appealing and it's clean. He liked the open kitchen concept. The food lived up to my bragging. Daughter had the 5 piece tender, hubby had the buffalo chicken sandwich and I had the Cali club meals. They loved the fresh, hot tenders and fries. Mine was a flattened chicken breast, but it was very tasty and tender and the toppings of bacon and avocado were very generous. We considered milkshakes but were really too full. Bummer. I really wish they'd build one of these on the Westside. read more

PDQ is in a location where there are numerous eateries ( good ones too) and in my opinion they have not brought anything new to the table. PDQ is aesthetically very pleasant. It is new and clean and modern. That's about it. Paying $7.80 for 3 tenders at least infuse some flavor into the chicken. Bland food is a cardinal sin and PDQ has erred. The tenders had no flavor at all. Maybe I'm being harsh maybe a tad bit. When there is Chick-fil-a, Five guys,and Bojangles within a quarter mile I doubt I'll ever choose PDQ. notgettingonthisblandwagon read more

Great buffalo chicken sandwich! I've been back and will again and again! Chill atmosphere with friendly staff!

PDQ during this drive thru visit definitely was Pretty D*** Quick - perhaps too quick since they forgot to include my requested siracha sweet dipping sauce with my grab and go meal...but wait one, there's redemption. When I drove up and placed my order, I was surprised to find out that they no longer carried my fav blueberry cole slaw side. I opted for the broccoli side to accompany my 5 piece chicken tender meal. End result- no dipping sauce (my fault, I should have checked the bag before I drove off) but the chicken tenders were supremely tender and delish - no need for that D*** dipping sauce! The broccoli was steamed nicely and ate all of them piping hot! So I'll be a return customer to fulfill that PDQ chicken tender fix, order good for ya broccoli instead of blueberry cole slaw, and switch out of my automaticity mode by checking the bag before I drive off!! read more

I went around lunch time and I was suprised at how quickly they staff got you in and out. I ordered a burger and 5 strips. I'll start in reverse I loved the fries it's a large amount and they come out nice and hot. Did I mention not one person behind the counter had a frown and everybody working in the front of the house was smiling and very polite!! My strips had just the right crisp to it and juicy also the sauces they have there are all good, while waiting I took it upon myself to sample them all. They have the coke freestyle machine so you get tons of options there as well as their own brand of sweet tea, lemonade, and Green tea. My burger was also pretty dang tasty, I have no problems with this place and I will be back to try more menu options. read more

Great food great people quick service ambiance is great the employees are nice and welcoming.

Tried for the first time. I had the Honey Butter Chicken sandwich and hubby had the tenders. It was good. It wasn't spectacular but the chicken was hot and juicy. The flavor was tasty. The bun was soft and the honey butter tasted really good. I don't think the Bread and butter pickles were a good fit, however. I prefer dill pickles with my sandwiches but that's a personal preference. read more

PDQ is a refreshing option in the fast food realm. I've always had a pleasant experience here and always seem to get what I order. The food won't blow you away by any means but it is decent and seems fresh. Just like a hybrid Chick-fil-A and Zaxby's the menu offers a variety of chicken options from baskets to sandwiches and salads. You can get the chicken fried it grilled which is a nice option especially if you're trying to eat a tiny bit more healthy. The fried chicken has a good breading with decent flavor. All in all, I'd say this is just another fast food chicken that won't let you down. The inside is very open and bright. With Windows all around and natural lighting it helps enhance the clean look. read more

Without a doubt - the best. Every time I go back to Florida to visit my mom, I have to go here. The chicken here is fantastical. The fries favortastic. The sauces legiticosious. It's also a pretty cool place. The building is very large. You look up and you can see some raised ceiling that are very aesthetically pleasing. They have corn-hole outside if you want to play in the Jacksonville 130 degree heat that we love so much in Florida... They have a public hand wash outside the bathroom, right in the middle of the restaurant, so you can go into the center of the room and wash your hands with nice lavender soap. You can also sit and silently judge all of those you see who do not publicly wash their hands. Really really good chicken place. That's all you need to know. read more

I usually really enjoy ordering from PDQ but today I ordered for pickup and when i got home my chicken sandwich was particularly bad. I ate a few bites before realizing that it may not have been cooked all the way. I immediately put it down and made my boyfriend stop eating his as well. Needless to say all of today our stomachs have hurt and I got pretty sick. I will sadly not be back. read more
