We came last night to eat and had an awesome experience, my wife dropped some sauce and felt so bad and went to clean it up but the gentleman taking out the trash cleaned up for her, and everyone had smiled and great attitude. We haven't had PDQ in over a year since I got stationed in Missouri, it was amazing, even better that the ingredients are simple and fresh. read more

Ordered the (5) Nashville hot tenders. They were well seasoned and juicy but the tenders were a bit on the small side. read more

It took over 30 minutes for one tenders meal and one nugget meal at 8:30 at night with very few people in the restaurant. Good luck if you try to eat here. read more

Ehh we were excited to try a local spot but it was just ok. The menu online was not updated so the bowls we planned to order were no longer on the menu. read more

The food was made fast, hot and delicious. You can't go wrong with chicken fingers. We will come back again. Give it a try for yourself. read more

PDQ Chicken - Sandwiches Near Me - Ocala, Florida

Saw a few signs on I-75 as we were driving back o Michigan from Florida, and we looked this place up for lunch. We found an online holiday for 24 strips for $24 and thought we have to try it, and am I glad we did! We got a tray with 2 large sauces to dip. The chicken was super hot and tender, moist and juicy. The interior of this place is great! Very large and nicely decorated and clean. Next time we are in Florida we will definitely be giving this place a visit! read more

Usually PDQ chicken is good. However this time it was a big disappointment. I ordered by food and had the order to dine in the restaurant. I ordered nuggets and a chicken sandwich. As with a PDQ you can see into the kitchen. My nuggets came out first. They were placed under lamps while the sandwich was prepared. I do not know if the lamps were malfunctioning or not, but my nuggets were cold. Fully cooked but still cold. Usually this happens with a drive through order. read more

Stopped here on the ride home from Disney & we've always loved PDQ. Unfortunately, this will be our last time. After years of thinking the food was on par with Chick-fil-A, it definitely was not this trip. The nuggets tossed in garlic Parmesan had very little sauce, as did the honey butter chicken sandwich (that used to be a favorite). We received very few fries with our meal and the Mac n cheese was not good (& we ordered one but was charged for and received 3 but didn't bother fighting it). The Reese's milkshake was chunky and practically not drinkable. The restaurant & restrooms were clean but we can find that at a number of other restaurants on that exit. I'm not surprised to read that many locations are closing as the quality of the food has definitely decreased. read more

We visited your location on Sunday on the way home from Disney. The restaurant was clean. The bathrooms were clean. Ordered food to go. The girl at the register was nice and very efficient made sure she placed our order correctly. We go it to go to get back on the road. The 2 men behind packing orders made sure to greet us while we were waiting for our order, double checked everything. We ate and everything was fresh and hot. Better than expected. Good portion sizes. Just wish we had one in Birmingham, AL. We will be back on our next trip. Keep up the good work. read more

a party of atmosphere and taste!! had the best sauce and the best chicken! The milkshakes were to die for! So creamy and delicious! read more

this place stinkkkkkks! all the workers just act like they ion even care! i cant get my food fast! this aint fast food. this is last food cuz i am not goin here again! its been over an hour and im still waitin for my food. gosh damit read more

Every time I order the 5 piece chicken fingers I ALWAYS get one or two pieces that have connective tissue in them. It's disgusting! Chick-fil-A never has connective tissue in their chicken fingers! Why don't you guys call Chick-fil-A and ask them how they make their chicken fingers without connective tissue? Maybe you can learn something from your competition! read more

Wanted to give this place a try since we like Chick Fil A. Overall, we thought this place was better, but did have an issue. Pros: -Facility is really big and clean -Staff seemed well trained and nice -Chicken tenders were great -Spicy chicken was actually spicy -Good price for quality Cons: -I think they ran out of waffle fries because we all got regular fries and they were greasy Overall, we will be back! read more

This is an amazing place, and I was fueling up close by when I saw it. They have such an array of healthier options that I was immediately impressed. The business model and offerings seem so similar to Chik fil a, but this is a smaller company, I believe. I pulled up to the drive-thru and order the zucchini fries as a side with Ranch dipping sauce with my chicken sandwich. The food is cooked to order, and it is so damn good. The chicken was juicy, well-seasoned, and the bun is Brioche, which gives a hint of buttery goodness. My zucchini fries were hot and well-seasoned as well. I'm a fan. I wish we had these guys in Atlanta. Maybe this review will help. I know they'd be very successful. read more

We were short on time so we stopped here for lunch. Tom thought PDQ stood for 'Pretty Dang Quick' I found out that it stands for 'People Dedicated to Quality'. Our meals were available in such a short time that I think Tom's assessment is correct. LOL We each had crispy chicken sandwiches...oh my gosh...they were quite large and very tasty. We ate outside at 1 of the 3 available tables. It was nice to be outside in the fresh air enjoying our meals and awesome Florida weather read more

Awesome place fast good food very friendly and clean restaurant. Food is always hot. Good sweet tea.

Was in town for work and knew I had to stop at PDQ as soon as I saw Ocala had one. I'm a huge fan of PDQ and was super excited to be able to try the waffle sweet potato fries. I love PDQ for their sauces available and their friendly staff. We found a table outside and enjoyed a nice day eating lunch. There's so much on the menu here I love that it makes it hard to only visit once since I don't get PDQ often. When looking for quality fast food PDQ is always my pick when I'm near one. read more

PDQ Chicken - Buffy Bleu with seasonal sweet potato waffle fries - Sandwiches Near Me - Ocala, Florida

I would give a 3.75 review, but 3.5 average is pretty on par with what I saw. The food was pretty okay, but a friend ordered the honey chicken sandwich meal and they said it was way too greasy to eat. It seemed to her that they deep fried the chicken far too much and poured a bunch of honey on top, but it was far too sticky sweet. The service was really quick, but the tables and booths were already sticky and dirty when we came in. Overall not bad, but definitely not the go-to stop if you're passing by. read more

Great chicken and very clean location. The staff was nice and everything came out quick and Cooked to perfection.

Second time trying this chain and I loved the food. However this visit was not very pleasant, I think that's why it's not busy. First they forgot our kids meal .. we had to park and go in to get it. Then we decided to order another salad and we got service by Brandon F on 7/28/23 at 8:10 pm. He is not made to handle the front of he's not going to have customer service skills. We live the food but the service today was not the friendliest or correct one. read more

Great food. Serious mix up in the drive through. They reached the wrong meal out of the window. I has said " that doesn't look right" she then kinda snapped and said "yes it is". So I took the food.no biggie. Just to look in the bag and it not be the right meal. Then she opened the window and said " your good to go, have a great day" I said "no, I haven't paid and this is the wrong food" Then she begins to blame me for not telling her this wasn't my order( I don't think I'm supposed to order again at the pick up window & I kinda already told her that) she said "baby I asked you why didn't you tell me" and then rushed me when trying to get my money ready. I paid. She gave me the correct drinks and said " have a nice day" I went to tell her I didn't have my food and she slammed the window closed. About 3 seconds later she opens the door and says you're good to go. Then I said " I don't have my food". She then blamed me AGAIN that I should have told her I didn't have my food. I'm not angry, and will probably be back. But goodness, someone needs to slow that girl down and teach her just do the job right, instead of doing it 3 times over. And if you make a mistake just fix it, you don't have to make a fool of yourself or prove to be right. read more

Food is consistently amazing. Always made to order. I love the variety of sauces. Service is A+ Food A+ Location A Favorite items: Buffalo bleu sandwich and zucchini fries. The salads are very fresh! read more

We met the regional manager in Orlando at City Walk and decided to give them a try when we passed through. A+ experience. Food was fresh and hot. Spicy chicken sandwich was actually spicy! Their team was super friendly and helpful. There's obviously a lot of competition in the chicken business but PDQ is executing on what they do perfectly. read more

PDQ Chicken - Chicken tender basket - Sandwiches Near Me - Ocala, Florida

Love Love PDQ. Food is so good, service is super fast! Favorite is Chicken Sandwich, kids love the shakes! Really only fast food I like!

Excellent restaurant! We had great service, patient cashier taking order from 5 kids, food came out fast and was delicious! Ordered more and they brought it out to our table. Nice, big open dining area too! Love that they had crayons and coloring sheets too. read more

Won't allow me to give less than 1 star. Service was almost as good as the food, and that's a serious problem because the food was terrible. The sad sack that took our order was extremely rude and kept making comments about my wife and I to her other coworkers. I caught her staring at us angrily multiple times as well. Your job is not hard and your gucking terrible at it, but tis the season to be a cunt I guess ‍ read more

Who doesn't love truly Fast-food/good food. They have smart choices on the menu, and they have the fancy drink machine. My husband loves Mello zero. Chain restaurants where he can get his diet dew/Mello zero are always a plus. read more

This was first experience at a PDQ and I was very happy with the food and service. They have hand washing stations near the beverage station with unbelievably aromatic lavender soap. The service was impeccable and I would absolutely go back. read more

First time coming to eat, food was ok. I order a Mediterranean salad which is supposed to have mixed greens, allanará olives etc. and when the meals were brought to our table. I noticed the salad was all iceberg lettuce. So and attendant came by and I mentioned it to him and he went and told a team lead. The team lead came by and drop off the salad to the table and did not say nothing at all. Those attitudes like that is what keeps people away from places like this. PDQ management you need to train employees on being thankful, that people are coming to your establishment and pay for your salaries. I'll definitely will not be back and definitely will not recommend this place. Corporate and Management you need to train your employees to be friendlier of not leave them in the back not dealing with guest. We all have bad days, but that's were management needs to step in and have a conversation with those folks. Specially if The are team leaders! See pictures below, to see the first salad that I was given and the second salad they brought out which was the correct one. People make mistakes but again it was her attitude. read more

PDQ Chicken - Iceberg lettuce salad - Sandwiches Near Me - Ocala, Florida

This is a fast food restaurant similar to Chick-fil-A. They offer chicken tenders, salads, sandwiches and rice bowls. One of the things that is very unique are the sauces. My favorite is the creamy garlic, and I could eat that sauce with many things. The staff is friendly and they seem to get the majority of their staff from young kids. My husband and I both ordered a three piece meal. His came with fries and I ordered totchos. Everything was fresh. Definitely a place to go for fast food if it's a Sunday. By the way, they have a freestyle coke machine. read more

The lady manager and drive thru staff was awesome. Provided an amazing drive thru experience. Thank you Hot and delicious food read more

I was hungry for chicken strips so I went to the drive up and picked up a 3 strip dinner. The strips were dry and cold. I was asked if I wanted the waffle fries with the dinner since I'm not a potato eater I said Ill take the Mac and cheese with my drink being lemonade. The macaroni in the Mac and cheese was hard and it tasted like cheese whiz on it. By the way the lemonade was so sweet that it made my teeth hurt. Sorry to say I won't be back a big disappointment. read more

That was a pretty good grilled chicken sandwich! Along with blueberry slaw! Diet root beer too! We dropped in here recently for lunch and I do admit is was quick. Order at the counter, take a seat, and they announce your name when the food is ready. Took only a few minutes and the place was packed. You can go healthy and grilled, or unhealthy and fried crispy style. I dug the slaw.The also make shakes here too. They have those new Coke soda machines that offer like a gazillion soda options. It's a large, brand new, clean and bright space with plenty of seating. Staff was friendly abd cheery. From what I heard Tim Tebow and Vinnie Testaverde have invested in this place. Hope they don't fumble this one away. Timmy needs a new career since the NFL played a game of chicken with him and he got cooked. read more

Great grilled chicken choices, the PDW sauce is great too. Inside clean and drive thru is good too.

Excellent overall experience stopping here driving home from Florida. The quality and friendly-service was on-par with Chick-Fil-A, but offered a different array of menu options. Even with a miscommunicated order issue during our visit, the manager gladly and quickly made it right and we were all floored by the flavor and freshness of the options we ordered. Great food stop and will definitely do so again when back in town. read more

The manager and staff were so friendly and treated my kids so well. The food was hot and fresh.

When I walked in I went straight to the restroom to wash up. It was clean and well stocked. Also, I didn't have any equipment issues. Then when I ordered my food Miguel was a delight. Then, the food came out super quick ( I got the Mediterranean Salad). I was impressed by how efficient and quick all the staff were working here. This was a pleasure. read more

PDQ Chicken - Olives, Romaine, banana peppers, hummus, cucumbers, spring mix and feta. It comes with the chili lemon vinaigrette. - Sandwiches Near Me - Ocala, Florida

This place is a joke. The customer service is horrible. My husband and I arrived 30 minutes before the store closed and decided to eat inside. Most of the chairs were already flipped up again 30 minutes before they were scheduled to close. There are no signs that say the lobby closes before drive thru. We stood and waited almost 10 minutes before someone finally acknowledged us and came to take our order. My husband and I were the only ones in the lobby. The girl who I will assume is named Samira because that is the name on our receipt very rudely asked us for our order. After taking our order she said she needed to take our card to the drive thru register because the registers in the lobby were already closed down. Again, 30 minutes before they're scheduled to close. She didn't tell us our total, just charged our card and handed back to us with the receipt wrapped around it. We didn't get our food until 9:52 and then all of the workers decided to get louder and louder I assume in effort to make my husband and I eat faster and leave. Samira also put our name on the receipt as "dineeeeeee in" instead of the name we gave her. I don't understand how people coming into the job that pays you to be there and spend money are a huge inconvenience to you. Maybe you're not cut out for customer service babes. Food was also maybe a 2/5 but will service like that it ain't worth it. read more

I just wanted to let everyone know that I sincerely hope you give this place a visit because my experience was outstanding. I had the grilled chicken rice bowl and the rice was a bit undercooked. I didn't complain, however a staff member (Joshua) came by to ask how was everything and noticed that most of my meal was uneaten as he so kindly took up everyone's dishes that were finished. I told him that the rice was a little crunchy. He then gave me a complementary meal certificate and asked if there was anything else that he/PDQ could do to make sure I leave pleased with my PDQ experience. Thank you Joshua for going above and beyond with excellent customer service! And thank you to this PDQ of Ocala for being a great place to eat. Wonderful! read more
