I had a craving for chicken so stopped in at PDQ. Ordered the 5 Sauced Chicken Tenders Meal ($13.89). Chose Garlic Buffalo for my sauce, and Upgraded my side dish to Parmesan Broccoli ($1.89). The Parmesan Broccoli was fantastic. Tender broccoli tips with shredded Parmesan. Wish the side was larger. The garlic buffalo sauce on the tenders was subtle. Could taste the garlic but the buffalo would better be described as a calf - no heat. The dining room has every type of seating available. You can sit at the counter, choose a booth both square and round, sit at tables both low and high, or enjoy outdoor seating in a covered porch. Total bill $16.88 which I think was a little pricey. Service was fast. read more

This place makes a really good chicken sandwich! Not too much bun, so the focus is on the juicy meat. Nice location and clean, love the hand wash station. Do try the buffalo blue sauce, yum yum! read more

This visit I tried the spicy chicken sandwich and hubby had the crispy chicken sandwich. The quality of the chicken was outstanding, honestly there are actual restaurants out there that can't make chicken sandwiches this fresh, and tasty. The chicken was huge, piping hot, juicy, and seasoned well. The waffle fries are great as well. I certainly didn't feel like I was being taken to the cleaners as you tend to feel at some places. Great food, good value My only issue was the drink had way too much ice and not enough drinks but that's definitely not an issue that can't be fixed by saying "light ice" please. Enjoy! P.S. if I haven't made myself clear I think this place is better than chik fil A sandwiches ... yes I said it! read more

PDQ is known for its freshness! I recently stopped by for a first time taste of the chicken tenders. Chicken so flavorful cooked in a light breadcrumbs. The salad I ordered was a good size with fresh tomatoes and a very large choice of Homemade dressings. I loved the blue cheese. I've been to all the other chicken restaurants where they use the same oil to fry all day long. No greasy taste at PDQ where oil is changed frequently throughout the day. This was worth my visit and I intend to return. Clean restaurant with friendly welcoming hosts and enlightened management who encourage their employees as I noticed in their interactions. Eat in or call ahead for take out. This is definitely a five star visit. read more

We had lunch here for a family meetup the day after Christmas. A total of 5 adults & 5 teenagers. We had all different food items. Salads, chicken tenders, chicken sandwiches and fries. Our order was ready quickly and everything was hot and delicious. The managers here are really accommodating us. We were able to put a few tables together outside & had our two small dogs with us. This was our first time at PDQ and definitely will visit again soon. Thanks for the great 5 star service! read more

So I was excited to try PDQ. I opened the bag though when I got home and there was a fly. Not a huge deal. It wasn't IN the food. So I started eating my nuggets. Tasted great. The korean bbq sauce was delicious. Until I started finding little white hairs in my food. Cat hair? Or clothes fiber? Gross no thanks. So unfortunately I tossed the food. I don't think I'll be back at that location. Maybe another one will be better I hope? Soured my first experience. I might just stick to chick fil a or raising canes otherwise. read more

PDQ Chicken - Hair? Clothes fiber? And a fly - Sandwiches Near Me - Pinellas Park, Florida

Tried the fall special - two layers of fried turkey with cranberry sauce on a bun - and wow! You've got to get this because the breading has lots of stuffing-esque spices. The pimento crunch was also delicious. It's got pimento cheese, of course, plus bacon and chips IN the sandwich. The tenders are a great move here and they've got tons of sauces to choose from. Finally, i love that they have a sink near the counter to wash your hands, the staff is incredibly friendly and they have Coke Freestyle machines! The shakes are extra thick! A+++ I personally find it way better than Chickfila because of all the options! read more

Absolutely, phenomenal Food. I haven't eaten fast food in years, nor do I ever leave reviews but I'm sitting here eating leftovers from yesterday and I'm still just as speechless as I was last night by how delicious this is. The homemade lemonade, the Tennessee hot chicken. Unbelievable. Y'all are killing it. read more

A good chicken place that meets expectations every time. The sauces are special, house-made and fresh. The chicken tenders are my go-to and they have good flavor on their own but really need the sauce to take them to excellence. I love the various menu options (salads, sandwiches, chicken alone, etc.) + their milkshakes are very good. Service has been good in every visit, both drive-thru and mobile order carryout. The restaurant is always clean and I love the hand-washing stations PDQ has at their locations. read more

I wanted something a little different so I had some chicken strips at PDQ. They were good sized with good flavor. I like the option of fresh squeezed lemonade. The fries were good, too. Pretty good fast food choice. Like the Terminator, I'll be back read more

While visiting family in Pinellas County we decided to stop in and grab a bite to eat. We have seen PDQ restaurants in various places and were curious as to what they were all about. First, the initials PDQ stand for People Dedicated to Quality. It serves various dishes of chicken tenders. I consider it an upscale fast food establishment. They have a large menu in the wall to make your meal choices from then you go up to their counter and place your order. In front of the counter is various bottled drinks but they also have a drink station with sodas and teas. They even offer a flavored green tea. Near the drink station is a hand washing area which I think is a great idea! The server then brings your food to your table after you get your drinks. They identify you by the the number we were handed after placing our order at the counter. In our party of four I was the only oddball to order a salad. Everyone else choose their chicken strip meal which was fried. Portions were large and everyone said their chicken strips were very tasty and moist. Sides are a la carte. I had their Mediterranean Salad which consisted of grilled chicken strips, mixed greens, cucumbers, tomatoes, kalamata olives, pepperoncini peppers, feta cheese and a scoop of hummus. It was served with a lemon chile vinaigrette. I have to say I was impressed. It was delicious! Everything was fresh, the hummus had a good flavor- it was a nice twist to the salad. I loved the dressing it really complimented the salad well. My hubby and I ordered sides of zucchini fries. They were very tasty and they gave a a dipping sauce of our choice. I chose a sweet sriracha sauce and I thought it went well with the fries. Hubby had a ranch dip and he was very pleased with the flavor. We tried the flavored green tea with blueberry. It was a very nice change of the usual choices of sodas or plain tea with lemon. All in all it was a very good dining experience. I loved the menu choices, the drink station and hand washing station. The service was good, they were pleasant and answered our questions with patience because we were newbies. Our food was brought out promptly - hot food was hot and my salad was nice and chilled but my tenders warm. We will definitely go back and try some other locations closer to us. Unfortunately, we do not have any PDQ restaurants in our county but I'm willing to travel for that salad again! read more

My husband and I stopped by for a quick meal this evening. The dining room was clean and organized and the staff was so welcoming and attentive. Not what I would expect from a fast food chicken restaurant. We were pleased with the quality, quantity and temperature of our meal. Nothing is worse than cold fries! These were hot and crisp. Stop by for a quick, reasonably priced and quality meal or snack. read more

The service is immaculate. This is the best PDQ I've ever been to. They are quick, efficient, friendly, and thoughtful. Food is always hot and fresh. The management can't be beat. read more

Great chicken chain on par with Chick fil that uses hormone free chicken. Their spicy chicken sandwich was great with a handbreaded, golden brown crust with spices in the breading ae well as a spicy, made-fresh-in-store sauce to top it off. The moist and tender chicken looked and tasted like real chicken breast and not some pounded or pressed chicken pieces that only slightly resembles chicken. The sandwich was on a nicely grilled bun and topped with butter leaf lettuce and a couple of pickle slices. Their hand-cut waffle fries were nicely fried and simply seasoned. The only negative would be that the size of sandwich is a tad small. Would like to see this chain expand West as they are right up there with Popeyes and Chick-fil-a and have surpassed the Colonel (KFC). read more

I was apartment hunting with my Daughter and her boyfriend. First time at a PDQ. Eric Lavigne helped us out on deciding what to order. We got chicken fingers and a chicken sandwich. We ordered the meals that came with curly fries and a drink. My wife ordered a Oreo shake. The food was outstanding. Best chicken sandwich I've ever had. It blows Chick-fil-a away! Eric who I found out is the operating director came over to our table with a chocolate, strawberry and Reeces shakes. He then came back and gave us four chocolate chip cookies. Then one of his co-workers came over who used to be a chef for the Tampa Bay Rays told us how she loves to work there and has the best boss she has ever worked for. I haven't received customer service like this in a long time. I was literally blown away! I will be back since my daughter is moving to the area. If you want good food and outstanding customer service. I recommend stoping at this location! read more

This location has wonderful customer service and the food is always amazing! Best fast food in the area

I love PDQ but this location is definitely my favorite! The food is fantastic, the staff is so friendly and helpful, the restaurant is always clean and welcoming, and the service is so quick sometimes it's ready before I even get my drink! I love coming here and it is a frequent favorite. read more

It was great I never had food from here before and was very happy with it the delivery was extremely fast and the delivery man was extremely nice. The order was correct and we ordered two extra sauces and we were given 4 extras. We love extra dipping sauces so it was a great thing. We will order from them again read more

Born and Raised in KY of KFC and moving to the midwestern Canes territory, followed by the recent Popeyes craze- my hesitation for PDQ was warranted. Upon many locals recommendations, I finally tried this local joint and was incredibly impressed. I'd put it right between Chik Fil A and Popeyes. read more

Quick and delish! Recommend if in the area and on the run for some hearty good food. Great service

We went through the drive thru on Saturday 7/30 around 6:45pm. For the first time ever, I encountered someone rude taking orders here. She didn't even look at us one time and was very short with us. When we got to the window, again another rude person! Seriously a first for me. She handed us the wrong drink and when I told her she huffed and rolled her eyes and gave us the right drink. When we got where we we're going, we opened the bag and found an unsealed salad dressing that was spilled all over everything and 2 salads with no forks that we couldn't even eat. I am so disappointed in this place, and now I won't be back to the only fast food place I used to go to! read more

The Weissman Day Center stop by for lunch today. The customer service was excellent. The staff were very helpful and friendly. All the participants really enjoyed the food and the friendly atmosphere. read more

First time here and I loved it! Very similar taste to Raising Cane's chicken and has the same concept of menu. Fries are more like steak 'n shake and they give a lot of them. They have several sauces to pick from and are all very good! Love the set up of having a wash station to wash your hands for before/after eating. Staff was very friendly and fast! Looking forward to eating here again! read more

I live close to this location so I frequent after work or school when I don't feel like cooking. About 90% of the time I am disappointed with food that tastes/looks old. I kept coming for the convenience and the hope for fresh food, and am continuously disappointed. I've had the food at ppd fresh And there's a huge difference. It's as if they cook in bulk and refry it when you order. - I know what this looks/tastes like from previous restaurant experience. Will probably visit the 4th st location in the future. Although the food is disappointing the service is always great, and employees are always helpful and friendly. Especially Irina in the drive through read more

My wife and I love coming here on Sunday's after church. It's never crowded and we're always able to find a table. The food quality is really really consistent at this location. I don't think I've ever had a bad experience with any of the food items that I've ordered. The inside of the store is nice and clean, and the handwashing station is a really nice treat (I love the lavender soap). The staff is really friendly and they will strongly insist on bringing you your food. Some people may find that off-putting, but I really like it because it makes me feel like my business is valued. Additionally, on Sunday's it's "Sunday Funday" and last Sunday there was a gentleman (Morgan) walking around making balloon animals for the kids (and kids at heart). This is a great location, with excellent management, delicious food, and friendly staff. read more

Homemade sauces. Seasoned fried chicken tenders. I am usually not a fan of going to fast food restaurants while out of town but the person I was with said it came highly suggested so we tried it... SOOOO glad I did. The chicken was sooo good. Hot and fresh... SOOO GOOD. The sauces... this particular location- didn't limit the amount of sauces you can have... So we tried nearly all of them. EVERY LAST SAUCE was SOOOO GOOD and you can def tell that they are homemade. The creamy garlic sauce... brought me LIFE. They came around with cookies-- free-- and they were tastey. This is a fast food spot with sit down restaurant tendencies. Excellent service. Excellent chicken. Excellent sauces. read more

I just moved to Pinellas Park and this PDQ doesn't disappoint!! Great food and service!!

All the times I've been here, they are consistently good. The food is hot and fresh and they do seasonal items too. The newest sandwich, the hot hot honey butter with hot jalapeno fries is a mixed bag. I know it's trying go up against Popeyes spicy chicken sandwich but I have to say Popeyes wins on the spicy sandwich. The hot hot honey butter is way too sweet and while there is a slight lingering spiciness because of the jalapeno it is overpowered by the honey. It's the same with the fries, not sure why the fries had to be slightly sweet. Neither of them are that spicy, if they cut back on the honey it would have been ok. read more

Ordered a lunch for my office staff. Ordered through uber eats. The chicken sandwiches were good but cold. The fries , I ordered 4 fries for like$8 , they were all soggy and cold oil dripping from them so bad just threw them out. I guess the worst was the fact they didn't include any condiments at all not even one thing of ketchup. Really!! I understand this was an UberEATS pickup but maybe PDQ should invest in something that will keep the food warm. Maybe include some condiments. read more

I eat here all the time and the Pimento sandwich is delicious every time. This PDQ also has Splenda and the other St Pete location doesn't, which I find weird. read more

New to the area and decided to check out PDQ (which we've never had before). Phenomenal service and food was delicious. I would say just as good as chick filet. PDQ sauce was awesome something we've never tried before and spicy chicken nuggets and strips were delicious. Highly recommend. read more

PDQ is my absolute favorite when I am craving fast food. The chicken strips are always fresh and the light seasoning on their fries is perfect. So much better than all of the other chain restaurants offering similar items. Their rewards program leads to some good deals, too. While you will get frequent emails, you'll find lots of freebies and savings inside. read more

Excellent customer service. The chicken strips and nuggets were perfectly tender. Love PDQ!! Hope their waffle fries come back soon.

PDQ is hands down the pinnacle of fast food... I only eat at PDQ if there's one nearby, I travel also and look up PDQ's in the city I'm going to...I will even go outta my way to go to a PDQ. All their food is fresh, not frozen , non GMO (big deal for me) and all of the beverages including the fountain drinks are made with filtered water and the taste confirms it (a very big deal for me) . You will find the staff very diverse and they could not be friendlier... and if you're a regular as am I, they quickly learn your name and greet you by name when you walk in the door... the food can't get any better for fast food, and NO other place comes close to the quality of the food, the friendliness of the staff... if you haven't tried PDQ, you're cheating yourself out of a truly wonderful experience. read more

My go to for fast food. The food is almost always made perfectly. Love the sauces. Wish they wouldn't change their menu so much, but I do enjoy their food very much. The food, sides, cookies, milkshakes. Love it all. read more
