    Cali club - in my office
    Larry G.

    This is my favorite quick serve restaurant of all! Nothing comes close. And Westchase is my favorite PDQ location. It's a combination of the food, the service team, and of course the facility, which is always spotlessly clean This is a mini review, kind of an update on previous ones. Today was a little stop before supper, could not resist some chicken tenders to get me through the wait. As always, a warm greeting. The food was fresh and hot and delicious. I went light today - only chicken tenders/strips. More to follow. Another major review coming.

    PDQ or People Dedicated to Quality is probably one of the best chicken fast food joints I have been to here in the US I was introduced to them 4 years ago Went back again today while on my trip to Florida Their chicken sandwich I find is the best bar none The honey butter chicken sandwich is soooooo good Comes with lattice fries which are done to perfection My wife had the tenders meal and she really liked them PDQ sauce they have there is quite yummy The place is kept up nice and clean The staff there is super friendly and dedicated to upholding the name Totally would go back again and would recommend this spot when in Florida

    Wow, very impressed with my whole experience! Chicken tenders were scrumptious! Hot take - rivals hard with Chic Fil A! Plenty of seating and they even had a station with a pedal controlled water system to wash your hands! Such a convenient and healthy space! No corona viruses over there! Service was fast, accommodating, caring, and friendly! Great people working at this location, very kind.

    They had to remake a sandwich and immediately offered me this for my wait! THE  BEST  CUSTOMER  SERVICE!

    I want to update my review with another 5-Stars because this PDQ always gives a 5-star experience! Wendy is the best manager ever! If you have the opportunity to eat in, you'll see that Wendy knows customers by name! She makes everyone smile and feel welcome. I mean, PDQ food is always fresh and amazing, but add the most enthusiastic team taking and making your order...it can turn a bad day to good.

    WOW! Talk about amazing friendly service! Wendy is the true definition of what PDQ stands for (People Dedicated to Quality) not a person walked in or out without getting a warm friendly greeting! I even heard her refer to a few people by name and that is what more businesses need is people like her! She took our order and hand delivered our meal to our table and then came to check that everything was good or if we needed anything! This location knocks it out the park on all aspects! Customer service is top notch right along with the food! Food was perfectly cooked and tasted great! I had the Buffy Bleu which is my favorite sandwich there !The bread was super fresh and soft and the lettuce was super crisp for the perfect crunch! Also if you have a sweet tooth like me, definitely do NOT pass up the chocolate cake! It was absolutely amazing & definitely shareable. On a side note PDQ Headquarters please please please bring back the sweet potato waffle fries and the zucchini fries both so yummy and sooo missed off the menu! All the staff at this location is top notch! Love going here for a quick dinner or lunch! Best PDQ in all of Tampa hands down!

    Really good service!

    Great service with hot food actually served fast! I must start by saying PDQ is not my usual go-to fast food restaurant and I do not eat much fast food. When it comes to fast food I usually have no expectations but the staff here was Yelp review worthy! I was greeted when I walked in, used a clean restaurant room, and my food was brought to my table rather quickly. Brian noticed my table was a little dirty (it had three crumbs). He stopped and cleaned the table prior to placing my try on it. I was impressed as the fast food industry usually lacks quality of service. Also the tenders were a very good size, fresh and tasty. I may just have a new go-to option or at least on Sundays

    When at Costco 'my kids normally want to enjoy lunch from PDQ.. mainly because their fries and chicken taste better. I love that their sauces are homemade and their fries are actually crispy. Never dull or limp like other fast food eateries. The service is always prompt, tastes freshly made and I love their tea offerings while the kids love the soda machine with the endless drink options. I appreciate the hand washing station as well. All places should offer this but don't. That's what makes PDQ special. I always enjoy the spicy nuggets with their buffalo blue sauce. It's my absolute favorite combination. This PDQ is always clean, the crew members are always helpful and kind. There are also TV's playing for some entertainment while waiting and plenty of parking. Lastly, don't forget to download the app. You'll get rewarded for your purchases and get free tenders for your birthday as well as a $10 off coupon for downloading. I'm always seeing coupons uploaded for future use as well.

    Where to start. My PDQ experience could not have been better. My server Wendy was the most extra most bestest employee I have ever seen in the food industry. This family friendly environment had chicken that left me speechless, and milkshakes that had me in tears. If you are ever in town I highly recommend.

    I haven't been in years and just needed a chicken tender fix. Let's see what I have been missing.
    Pietro M.

    I haven't been to a PDQ since before the Covid shutdown. Overall the meal was good. Chicken was cooked right and the fries were crispy as they should be. Not too much more I can say about the meal as it is a pretty simple order.

    Chicken Tenders Box and Waffle Fries :)
    Matthew O.

    If you're looking for a good alternative to Chick-Fil-A, PDQ is a good option. I got the chicken tenders meal and I was pleasantly surprised at how tender the chicken was. Chicken was nice and moist on the inside but maintained a nice crispy exterior without feeling overly greasy. The waffle fries were solid, although pretty similar to the ones offered at Chick-Fil-A. The best part might be the garlic dipping sauce. Just the right amount of garlic flavor mixed with the creamy flavor, this is a great dipping sauce for fries and the chicken tenders. Will definitely be back again next time! :)

    Definitely!
    Michelle F.

    It is always nice when there is a healthy option for fast food even if I didn't go that direction. The 1st advertisement on the door that got me was the spicy Turkey filet sandwich but once inside, I couldn't help but to try the spicy chicken breast. It looked like it was going to compete with the other 3 big named chicken places that mostly only serve chicken. Well, my sandwich had a good flavor and the spicy mayo was similar but honestly not as hot as what I expected from the picture on their menu. The sandwich was definitely fresh and absolutely hot when served. All of the ingredients were fresh. The tomato slice and fresh lettuce were good but made the sandwich a little messy. I did not ike the little metal baskets they served the sandwich in because it didn't look really sanitized and it slipped all over the table. Lose the basket please! The service was super quick, the restaurant was clean and I really liked the hand washing station. Great idea! The freestyle soda machine had so many options for sugar free, caffeine free and juices too. They had dispensers with 3 different fresh brewed tea as well. I enjoyed my visit and would definitely return again.

    Always the best chicken and best service of any PDQ I've ever been too.
    Frank M.

    I don't know how I didn't write this review earlier. PDQ has taken my top spot for chicken away from Chik-fil-a. The chicken is so fresh and the sauces (especially the honey butter) are perfect. The place is always pristine and of all PDQ's I've been to, the WestChase location has the friendliest and best staff hands down. They just can't do any more for you. Great chicken and fries and even better service.

I'm happy to say, that ten years later, I'm still a fan and a regular. Staying power indeed! More than just a coffee house, they feature great breakfast and lunch items. My personal faves are still the low-carb scramble, when you don't feel like all that extra bread, and their French toast--when you want bread and then some! I'll say this about their French toast--as it's classic as you're going to get. Four golden slices of perfectly battered pieces of toast smothered in syrup. Nothing extra, no frills. Just that pure French toast as its finest--and as I often say if basic is done right it doesn't need to be messed with (unless you are feeling like something extra, then by all means!). They're also one of the only coffeehouses I know who does have Amaretto and Macadamia flavors on hand. My fave is the Amaretto latte (hot) or I go for White Chocolate Macadamia for something a little different. Staff here is great, always friendly and greeting me with a smile--some I've known for maybe those nine or ten years! A neighborhood fave for sure! Nowadays I only eat outside because Muffin is now a constant guest who comes along with me as part of the tradition. Luckily there's always plenty of outdoor seats!

Yes, there is tons of food made in the US too but it's a good variety. You won't find everything that you find at a standard grocery store here. Off the top of my head I couldn't find Greek yogurt, cottage cheese or nut butter, but what you do find is spectacular. We got pasta and pasta sauce imported from Italy, frozen ravioli from New York, coffee beans from Italy, bread from local bakeries, and my husband loved the coke from Mexico with real sugar. We also grabbed cannolis from their deli. They have a substantial wine and butcher area. Also a a good selection of ready made foods. This place is hidden, but the parking lot is big.

I wanted Calabrian chiles, but they were apparently behind the plastic construction area. At the deli, I asked for a half pound prosciutto. They cut over 1lb due to lack of English. OK. I took it anyway so it was not wasted (the domestic was no bueno). It was old and dried out. There was no one at the meat counter, so I had to ask the deli guy to help me. The chicken breasts that were on sale were gatgantuan. I have never seen chicken breasts so large. The wings smelled bad when I got home to package to freeze. I had to toss 10 lbs. The reason I went was for the chicken sale. I am not risking food poisoning. The prices on most grocery items were actually higher than Publix. For specialty Italian items, the selection was just good. I did find guanciale and pancetta. Honestly, I would rather go to Mazzaro's or Moschella's. Their service is much better, and they have much more specialty items, plus they are cleaner and don't sell old nasty food.

I was hoping for onion bagels, and luckily they had a couple left. From the moment I walked in, I got the warmest welcome from the owner.
