    Happy meal or adult meal?
    Tyler S.

    $8 Happy Meal?! I ordered PDQ for the first time in awhile and is it me or did the portions shrink? The price is about the same but the fries got smaller. I love PDQ and am really disappointed with the smaller sizes. I will definitely be thinking twice before going again in the future. I wanted to share this in case anyone else was surprised by this so they would know what to anticipate. I did download the PDQ app to place this order online ahead of arriving and it was ready in 7 minutes. I had someone else pick up the order too through the drive thru which was easy and safe with COVID.

    This location does not miss! This location is by far the best in the Tampa Bay Area. Let me start by saying that the staff here is great! Specifically, the managers Robert and Marissa. They are always very welcoming, inviting and make sure the whole operation runs smoothly. The food is always fresh and well prepared. The kitchen seems to run very efficiently when you see them working on the food in the back. Very organized! No kitchen chaos like most restaurants. This location is always very clean and tidy and the vibe is very warm. I love to eat here with my kids and the rewards program is awesome as well. No complaints just superb service. Thank you Robert, Marissa and the rest of the team! Really appreciate you!

    Went to PDQ for the first time. The broccoli is the best broccoli I have ever eaten. The salad is pretty good too. The workers were nice. I wish they had gluten free French fries. I will definitely go back for the broccoli.

    I'm not sure if it is just this location or if it's the whole chain, but this place is ALWAYS on point! The food has never been anything less than fresh, delicious, and delivered with a smile. I absolutely love their sauces! I'm not sure if they are made in the house but they certainly taste like it! They don't taste like the packaged stuff from other fast food chains with extra ingredients you can't pronounce. It literally tastes like the stuff I make at home! I also love being able to order on their app and having it ready in 5 minutes! The only feedback I could give is I wish they would give more dressing with salads. Sure, I can ask for more, but a side salad comes with one container. An entree salad should automatically come with two.

    Dinner date with the grandkids. We decided to take them to PDQ for the following reasons: 1. All things Chicken. All kids love Tenders and Nuggets 2. The selection. Salads. Bowls. Sandwiches. Tenders. Nuggets. And so much more. 3. The sauces. I love Honey Mustard. But the Grandkids love Ranch. PDQs Ranch is pretty amazing. 4. The dining in option. Great atmosphere. 5. The Shakes. Let's say.... A-amazing!!! I can go on and on. There are so many great qualities about this location.

    I love PDQ. Why?? It's perfect comfort food. Waffle fries. Crispy chicken tenders. All smothered with their insanely delicious sweet creamy sriracha sauce. Just left a Yelp event overly sugared (but happy) when I knew I needed some real food like a responsible grown up, so of course I went for chicken strips with fries. I did add a side salad for good measure, so I could feel like guilty. As I digress, I love PDQ. Tenders are perfect fat, juicy, and crisp on the outside and go amazing with my fave sweet sriracha sauce. Their waffle fries were also perfectly crispy and well-seasoned. I rarely do drive through, but I was feeling extra lazy and tired, and wanted to not get out of the car and park yet one more time, so I opted this way. Luckily, the wait was not long at at all, and in no time, I got my food before I could even have chance to check in on my phone. I was so pleased that they gave me more than enough sauce to smother the fries and tenders to the very last bite, which stayed perfectly hot even during the long journey back home. Side salad is side salad, not much to write home about, but it was decent and did the job. PDQ is always a good choice.

    Grilled chicken sandwich
    Tom C.

    I just wanted to get out of the house and try a place that I hadn't been to for some time. Driving along Dale Mabry I came across PDQ in Carrollwood. The last time I went to one of their outlets was about 7 or 8 years ago when I worked near their test kitchen off Independence Parkway. I was pleasantly surprised to find out their food is still made with tasty ingredients. The grilled chicken sandwich (didn't try the meal) is your basic combo with lettuce, slices of pickle, fresh tomato and mildly seasoned chicken breast meat. The vegetables are all very fresh, crispy and moist which handily offsets the natural dryness of breast meat. Even the bun was fresh! At $7 it's definitely worth it if you're hungry but not starving enough to order the meal (roughly $11).

    Buffalo Chicken Sandwich.
    Alejandra V.

    I loved the sauces. The sandwich was good however the fries were not warm, and service is ok.

    Over dressed sandwiches now featuring hair.

    Over dressed, one slice of lettuce, and smooshed bread, now with hair. Quality at this place is 0star.

    Fatboy S.

    The 3 1/2 star rating seems accurate to me. Food was just okay. Customer service was good. Place wasn't the cleanest when I was there. Not sure if I would return.

    Mediterranean salad is excellent.
    Tasha M.

    Quick and easy review. All foods are prepared fresh and a step above a usual "fast food" restaurant. I typically go for the tenders of course but on occasion will go the their mediterranean salad. Full of flavor and fresh. All in all a good option for a quick drive thru meal.

    Cherry soda! Yum!

    Food is always solid from here. Would give 5 stars if they brought back the waffle fries. Not feeling the straight fries.

    Chicken tenders and sandwiches are always great. Hubby loves their milkshakes. Due to Covid-19, they got rid of their Heath shakes.

It reminds me of Panera, but the only difference is they also have options for big huge dressed up Baked Potatoes. I need to try them next time. Their claim to fame appears to be their big huge iced sweet tea. I ordered an Arnold Palmer, & a sandwich which came with a pickle and side which I chose the potato salad. I ordered the Memphian sandwich with no spicy mustard, & added honey mustard. This sandwich has turkey, Black Forest ham, & roast beef, provolone, & veggies, it was very filled. I was so impressed and I loved that they toasted it, even better. The potato salad was tasty too. I sat in a booth. I do feel that the inside is a bit dated, & the booth was cracking on the cushion but I stayed in that spot. They also had outside seating here too. It was a nice lunch, & I'm happy to say I am now a fan. Everyone working was very nice. My food was delivered to my table. I also had to top off my drink! It was so good!
