I love PDQ Chicken so much! We used to frequent this location a bunch when we lived close by. It's a bit further from us now but worth the drive. The tenders are my go-to order. I love the crispy waffle fries and garlic parm toast on the side. The sauces are all so good. My favorites include creamy garlic, buffalo bleu, honey mustard, and sweet sriracha. Hubby tried the Nashville hot sandwich last time we went and it was phenomenal! He usually gets the Buffy bleu sandwich. The employees have always been friendly and helpful. The dining area is always clean. Until next time PDQ! read more

One of the most reliable PDQ locations in all of Jacksonville. I usually get the same thing every time I go, three piece spicy tender. I heard that they would be updating/changing this location to a restaurant called saucy so I will definitely be eating here as much as I can until the changes happen! The service is usually fast also! read more

Like most fast food, you pay a large salary you can expect to pay more for your meal. I got a 4 piece meal, a 5 piece meal, a salad, 3 drinks and a shake. $52.00. Some may think that's not bad but really? read more

This was our first time eating at PDQ. I got the 4 piece tenders with fries. Oh my gosh they were excellent! This is now one of my favorite places to eat. I also got a vanilla milkshake and it was excellent! My wife and I wish there was a PDQ close to us on the westside of Jacksonville! We definitely recommend PDQ! Service was fast and friendly. Restaurant was also very clean. read more

This my favorite location. Friendly staff and hot fresh food wins every time with me. Some may have with the noise level being a bit loud for a place to eat, but they still can be busy at times. Today was not out of the normal as far as good customer service, it was just a step higher and I so appreciated it! Thanks PDQ! See you soon! read more

PDQ Chicken - Chicken tenders - Sandwiches Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

By now, if you haven't been to a PDQ, STOP what you're doing and get over to this place! I've had PDQ since graduating from school, and they never fail to let me down. The ambiance is highly welcoming as the place is filled with bright colors, comfy seats, friendly workers, and don't forget the lavender hand sinks. Last Sunday, I ordered a 5 piece tender combo meal and 1 spicy chicken sandwhich combo meal. Moving on with my review, the food at this location was awesome! This was by far the best seasoned chicken sandwhich ever!!! This crispy critter is super wide when you pull it out, seasoned real good, and juicy on the inside. Never can go wrong with classic tenders and fries here either, as these were delicious too! Also want to mention they offer unlimited sauces which are all made in house. Overall, my experience was great, and you know I'll be back here - final verdict 5/5! read more

This is the most life changing chicken I have ever had. It's DELICIOUS! I would eat here every day if I could... The chicken was crispy, tender, and had just the right amount of seasoning to not make it just spices. Plus, the employees were so kind and respectful to everyone that walked in. They treat eachother like family! And don't even get me started on the vibe. During the day, it looks so nice and comforting! It's also not extremely loud or quiet. I would give this place 1000 stars if I could!! read more

Service was really nice, but the food was just not what I expected. The chicken coating was dense and lacked a lot of flavor. I thought the waffle fries with the skin on was a nice touch, but I was blown away by some of the sauces that were included. I do not eat fast food very often, but when I do it is normally chicken. I am sure PDQ has sone other options, so maybe I will give them another try. read more

The food came out fresh and fast, well the tenders did. The fries were extremely hard. It took a few attempts to find a seat that wasn't dirty. I started looking around and noticed that most surfaces were overlooked like windows, chair backs, etc were extremely dirty and gross. Some chairs were so gross that it almost ruined my appetite. I'd add a picture but honestly you don't want to see that. It's like sludge. read more

Two years and ten sticky fingers later... I found myself back at PDQ chomping on one of their new Fall menu items: The Turkey Sandwich with a side of Zucc Fries and a Pumpkin Spice Shake. The fried Turkey Sandwich was delicious; the Zucc Fries greasiliousily-healthy; and the Pumpkin Spice Shake was even prettier -- I meant delicious -- than the image displayed. The drive-through was a bit confusing to navigate into with this being my first, third time back since two years ago. I wish there was a special sauce for the Zucc Fries. read more

This place man what can I say. The experience alone rivals the other major chicken sandwich type place that is up the street. The service was fast and my 10 piece tenders came out piping hot. So hot the box started to wilt on my way home. If you want to sample the teas they allow it if you want to sample the sauces they allow it, its a place where you don't have any reservations or regrets in spending your money. read more

Absolutely the best food and service! Not been let down once and they always are extremely friendly and "fast" Can't beat that!!!

This is a great place to visit for chicken. We got spicy chicken tenders and they were excellent! Seasoning was perfect, breading was just right, and the chicken was hot and juicy. The service was excellent and since this was our first time the gentleman took time to talk to use about sauces and made recommendations. We will definitely be back. I saw some earlier posts about cleanliness and I saw nothing wrong with the restaurants level of cleanliness. read more

Believe it or not, I'd never had PDQ before and not because we didn't have enough chicken sandwich joints (Can you really have enough chicken sandwich joints around you though?). I just didn't see a need to check it out when I had my own trusty go-to place. But there comes a time when you must try something new and that was recently. I figured I give it a try since I was stuck at home and wanted to taste like I was my old, adventurous self again. I checked out my favorite delivery app and perused their menu. Hadn't had a Grilled Chicken Sandwich in a while so I chose that and added some cheddar cheese. I did like that it said "cheddar cheese" and not just "cheese" meaning American or something American-like. That's a plus already. No drink for me but I did add a side of waffle fries. Received the order in less than 30 mins and looked it over. The sandwich itself looked kinda small compared to other places but PDQ prides themselves in quality over quantity. If it's good then I guess it's fine and it turned out to be really good. The waffle fries were crispier than what I've previously had other places with a little more salt which was welcomed and the creamy garlic sauce condiment was cleaned out with them. That was so much better than regular ketchup. Definitely would like to try other items here. They seem pretty good. read more

Walked in and there were at least 10 employees standing there with nothing to do but talking they look up see me not. One of them speaks. A kid comes back in from lunch break clock in right in front of me looks me dead in the eyes never says a word the other employees still standing there never came up and offered to take my order so I don't know what the food taste like because I never could get them to take my order. read more

Food was SOOOO SPICY could eat the nuggets or salad! The chicken and sauce was too spicy! Not sure if they poured the spices in the ranch, chicken, and sauce but I would NOT let my child or my self eat the food! Waste of my money. Threw the food away! read more

PDQ Chicken - Wasted food - Sandwiches Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

The food at this PDQ (my first time trying this place) is pretty good. But my goodness, the place is filthy! This place is practically empty and we had a hard time finding a clean table to sit at. The "concession"'area with napkins and such is filthy and they brought us our food on a tray covered in dried and sticky food. Right now, the staff has nothing to do and are on their phones and not at all concerned about the dining area. It's gross and really! read more

I love PDQ and after the wonderful time we had at the recent Yelp event there, I couldn't wait to go back with my husband. That says a lot, especially if you know me and know how much I detest that particular area of town. (LOL) I am stating up front that when I went to use my coupon for a free item that we received at the event, it was refused by the cashier and the manager who explained that we were getting our meal for free (!!!) and then were given coupons to pass on to our friends (which we did). Anyways, even if I had to pay for this meal, it would get the same review. I love PDQ - I said that before. I like their philosophy and I love their food. My Cali burger was perfect and I like that I now can get something healthier as a side (broccoli, so delicious). My husband had the Queso Bowl which he LOVED. He did give me one of those side eye looks when I told him he'd enjoy it, but as usual, I was right. I'm sure he'll try another next time. You can tell this particular place is new and that they are still training their employees. But the service is great and the food is wonderful and if you end up in this area of town and want a good quality fast food meal, I highly encourage you to come here. read more

Wow, No ice & sandwich overcooked. Bathroom nasty. It's worse. Early in the day and you would think things would be nice.

The newest PDQ to grace the St. John's Town Center does it right! Having dined during opening weekend about four months ago, I thought it was time to check back in. Turns out, I ended up returning twice in one week because their menu was satisfying all my cravings! We all know and loved their famous tenders and sauces. Yes, these are PDQ classics for good reason, but I recommend expanding your horizons. There are lots of hidden gems throughout the menu eager to blow your mind. Two of those being the Queso Crunch Bowl and the Tomato Feta Salad. Chicken tenders topped with creamy queso on a bed of beans, rice and corn? Hell yeah, this is my new go-to post work out meal. The latter is surprisingly delicious, which touches all the flavor profiles you look for in a salad. Sweet, salty and tangy yumminess. Based on my experiences, most folks seem to utilize the drive-thru. Totally cool, but not my thing. At two opposite times of the day, I was one of the only customers dining in. The employees seemed more preoccupied with the drive-thru-ers, instead of us. I'm not asking for the red carpet, just a little more sense of urgency! PDQ has quickly become one of my favorite fast-casual chain restaurants. They do a really great job of store cleanliness and have many distinct characteristics at this location. The vast parking lot, covered outdoor seating, and great location add to the already charming ambiance. Yes indeed I'm a fan! read more

I think they give ChicFilA a run for their money as far as service is concerned. I always enjoy coming here. Today I got a crispy chicken salad and it didnt disappoint. The only thing was there just wasn't enough dressing - which for anyone who knows me, thats a surprise. I'm not a saucy girl. So for those of you who like a lot of dressing, ask for more right off the bat. read more

PDQ Chicken - Lots of great, fresh options! - Sandwiches Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Went here for dinner tonight. The place was not crowded but they had already placed several of the chairs on the tables so you had to sit at a booth. The young lady who took my order was pleasant and my meal was actually reasonably priced, despite food inflation prices. $12 for a five piece tenders meal with fries and a drink. When the food came out, it was hot and fresh. They actually gave me an extra tender which was a nice bonus. The food was good but you only get two dipping sauces, so use them sparingly or ask for more. It was a good meal for a fast food place. read more

PDQ Chicken - 5 Spicy Tenders - Sandwiches Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Consistency is what you can expect with all PDQs. Chicken tenders are flavorful and not overly salty (like other establishments to be left unnamed). I'm not a big fan of their fries so it's either tater tots or apples - with caramel dip - for my usual sides. It's a false sense of "healthiness" when you order apples and I'm sure they are somewhat better for you than fries but that caramel toffee apple dip is loaded with sweet flavor. You could eat an old flip flop with that stuff #soooGOOD An abundant selection of homemade sauces for chicken dipping, I stay pretty boring with the honey mustard which is very good. I didn't have one today but their shakes and floats are pretty awesome. read more

Trish and I came here after a church musical. PDQ never disappoints. They are a notch or two above Chic Fila. They are clean, the service is impeccable, they have Cheerwine in bottles, & the food is so good and fresh. Kudos to PDQ-you guys know what you're doing. I had a fried chicken salad and a cookie with the Cheerwine and Trish had the salad with baked chicken & a cookie. We enjoyed our meals & drink! OS:the Cheerwine has loads of caffeine in it. I did not sleep Sunday night, even with an Advil PM. Drink in the daytime. read more

Fast, hot, fresh and good chicken! That sums it up! You order at the counter and wait for them to call your name for your order- the menu board is large and easy to read. I ordered a garden salad with crispy chicken on top and hubby ordered chicken strips with tater-tots. I thought it was interesting that you could order a 2-3-4-5 strip meal. Great for those who can't eat a ton or those who are super hungry! Hubby was quite enthusiastic about the tots too~ something about tater tots makes him excited like a little kid! When our order came out everything looked and smelled delicious and it was a hit with both of us! My salad greens were crisp and wonderful, tomatoes, cucumbers fresh too! The chicken was juicy and cooked perfectly for both of us~ The dining room is bright and clean and they have outdoor seating too! For my first time here- they convinced me to come back! read more

I recall going to this location about two ago on a Friday night and ordering the five piece tender meal. The fries were hot and tasty, but the tenders were a little cold and they appeared to be overcooked a little and the outside was dark brown. I didn't think nothing of it. But, later that evening I got a really bad stomach ache from the tenders. Not sure if the grease They used was old or if They were sitting out for a while. But, I had a stomach ache for two days. Won't be going back to this location anytime soon. read more

Came here for first time and got the crispy chicken sandwich meal and it was really delicious. The service was fast and the people are nice! I would def come back and get more stuff on the menu and the different sauces they have. So I've come back several times and I can't complain. Their sandwiches are always juicy and fresh. Only thing I'd say is sometimes their fries lose their crispy-ness when sitting in the cup and being packed in. read more

Hello, I've been coming to PDQ for about forever. My tenders were 10 out of 10 very good my french fries, which I ordered a family fry was zero out of 10 they should have never gave me those fries. Honestly, they could've just gave me more tenders for the fries and I would've been happy. The only reason why I'm writing this review is to let people know you just can't hire anybody and expect great service all the time. ChefBo read more

PDQ Chicken - chicken tenders with waffle fries & PDQ sauce - Sandwiches Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Oh PDQ has a special place in my heart (and in my tummy!) Proud to say I've never had a less than 100% experience at any location, including the few times I've visited this one. Workers are always nice, and food is prepared correctly and to order. Reason for 4 vs 5 stars: I really really really really miss their fried and grilled turkey sandwiches, but Im not overly mad I have to replace it with a delicious, crispy, buttery chicken sandwich. Also - I've noticed the portions over time have gotten a bit smaller, but I'm still satisfied by the end of the meal so I can't complain too much. The meat on the sandwiches used to hang over the bun, but not anymore. I can't remember the cashiers name but she was pleasant and took my order quickly. Food was out in ~3 minutes nice and fresh. Will definitely be returning, because you can't keep me away from this stuff. read more

I must say that for a fast food place, PDQ at the towncenter is super clean and the staff is amazingly friendly. Plus I absolutely love their menu options. Their Yia Yia Greek Salad is so tasty, the Pimento Crunch sandwich (although not the healthiest option) is one of my favs, and you have to love their various bowls, which are great options for the health conscious. All of their sauces are house made and delicious. I also really enjoyed their Chile-lime corn and their tots are great (but a tad over salted for my liking). PDQ has become one of my new favorites and I definitely recommend checking it out if you haven't already. read more

The sandwiches (Fried Turkey Sandwich) at PDQ Jacksonville: Town Center are solid, but I think the smoothies shouldn't be forgotten either. The sauce for the sandwiches definitely make them more memorable. There isn't much seating, so to-go may be the best option. There were reasonably priced smoothies as well. Lauren C. read more

This PDQ was built from the ground up, located right outside town center. You can get there by going straight towards Wawa and make a right if you're coming from town center parkway. It's a little confusing and creates unnecessary traffic when people turn right. It's very clean and inside and they are fast with your orders! The bathrooms are kinda small but there is a hand washing station right outside it near the register. I feel like more restaurants should have this! It spits out warm water for multiple people to wash their hands. I actually do not like their chicken tenders. I do love their nuggets however. There's a different breading on the nugget. Their zucchini fries are really tasty too!! Their sauces are all homemade and don't be afraid to ask for extra. I jump from the creamy garlic sauce to the ranch! It is a little pricier than your average fast food but it tastes home made and not too greasy. Definitely try it out and try all the sauces! read more
