    Chicken tenders
    Kate C.

    For nearly $50... this was just meh... Salad: very small and cheap... The ranch had off flavoring. Mac N Cheese: Bland but cooked well. Broccoli: Great flavor but barely cooked. Very crunchy! Chicken Tenders: Nice white meat, probably the best part of the meal. Sauces: Garlic Sauce-little to no flavors. BBQ: very flavorful (best one), ranch: odd, almost off flavor, PDQ: slight spice (okay) Customer Service: Not great... the guy who took the order just looked and acted bored. There was not one ounce of enthusiasm in him. The people at the front just shoved a bunch of pdq sauce in a bag and handed it over without even looking at our order (we did not even order pdq sauce, we ordered garlic and bbq). We had to ask and they boredly, unapologetically gave us more sauce. I really wish this visit had gone better but yikes! Not a great experience and we are not likely to come back.

    We had an appointment in Wesley Chapel that ended around lunchtime. Afterward, we looked for a restaurant nearby on our way back home and found PDQ. One of the advantages of PDQ is their drive-through service, which we opted for to save time. When it was our turn, we ordered Chicken Tenders and Nuggets. After receiving our order promptly, we eagerly dug into our PDQ tenders and nuggets once we arrived home. The chicken was cooked to perfection, juicy, and paired perfectly with the delicious sauces. It made for a fantastic lunch option that we thoroughly enjoyed. During my next visit, I plan on trying the Chicken Sandwich, Zucchini Fries, and Salad that I've heard about. I recommend trying out this amazing chicken restaurant.

    First time coming here. The chicken tenders were very tasty and juicy. The waffle fries were cooked perfect. My wife loved the PDQ sauce. I was ok with it. The service was great. If you dine in the plastic service tray is very slippery. Almost lost my food picking it up when it was ready. We will come back again. Give it a try for yourself.

    Upon entering this location it was very clean and busy with constantly moving lunch traffic. However there was no line and we were able To walk right up and order. The staff was very kind and even came over to our table greet our boy and make him laugh! The food came out pretty quickly and was very good! Got the grilled chicken tenders with roasted street corn! Very much enjoyed both! While sitting down eating we watched as they were constantly cleaning. If someone got up, they were there cleaning it within a minute. This was very much appreciated!

    Driving in the area and of course I get an immediate craving for P.D.Q. Mmmmmm! The drive thru was wrapped around the building so I decided to go inside. When I walked in, there was no wait. Yes! I ordered the Grilled Chicken Sandwich meal with the amazing waffle fries and soft drink for $7.99. I always enjoy there soft drink machine as the varieties are endless of what you can make. I got Diet Barqs Vanilla Cream Soda. It is so yummy! As soon as I finished filling up my drink, my food was ready. I love it is made to order so the fries were just perfect hot. The Grilled Chicken Sandwich is just as good without a bun. (Stupid gluten allergy. God I miss gluten). I use the lettuce as a bun. I was in heaven working my way through the sandwich and fries. Oh the waffle fries! As always, PDQ did not disappoint. Bravo! I will be back again when I am near you my amazing friend.

    Cali bowl with super little rice and employees too lazy to cut my chicken.

    VERY DISAPPOINTED- WORST PDQ LOCATION. We went to PDQ tonight for dinner. We ordered two caí bowls and one with extra chicken. I'm going to start by saying they hardly put rice in our bowls, our food was cold, we waiting in the drive through for over an hour and I saw the manager and employees not wearing masks. I have worked in the food industry as a manager and the manager on site did not handle the situation properly. He gave us a receipt FROM THE TRASH CAN, he brought our food back into the restaurant (they are NOT supposed to take back already opened food) and he was not wearing a hat or hairnet (it's against food and safety handling). The manager was rude, very disrespectful and simply responded to me "what do you want me to do about it" This was the worst service and food I've had EVER.

    This entire post goes out to Danielle who worked in the evening shift as the cashier in the drive through. As of Tuesday, the dining room was not open so we grabbed dinner via drive through and ate on the patio. I was arriving separately, having come from spin class. I saw that my children had small milkshakes, and after taking a sip of one, I knew I had to get my own *post spin class justification* was very strong urge. I got in the drive through line, which was long. When I went up to the window to order one regular strawberry milkshake, Danielle, the cashier couldn't believe I waited in that line just to get one (it was about 10 min wait). She asked to expedite the order so I don't have to wait any longer, and while we chatted, she even climbed out of her window to ask if the cars behind me can back up so I don't have to stay locked in the lane! First, I was amazed at how limber she was (do you yoga? I asked. Yes, she said. I said I was a yoga instructor and I recognize good flexibility). Luckily the space in front of me opened up and she was able to climb back into her window safely. Like wow! She's like a superhero. On top of that, and I HOPE she doesn't get in trouble for this, she game me my milkshake as complimentary. She was so friendly, caring, efficient, not to mention limber superhero. She went beyond what was asked of her and I was so impressed! So management, she is the type of who really makes place like PDQ special. Because let me just tell you, nobody at Chic Fil-a has ever gone to the lengths that Danielle has. And please don't get her in trouble for giving me a complimentary shake. I will pay for it if it's a problem. PM me.

    The chicken they served was very much delicious and tender. One of the best I have tried from any fast food restaurant.

    This restaurant is the first stop of our three restaurants night. Rice n Bean has a mother store…read morenot far from here. But I like the express better because the price range is better suited for the consumers. We got the Pernil pork and the rotisserie chicken. The Pernil pork comes with several slices of crispy skin. The skin tastes good. The pork also cook well. The rotisserie chicken marinated to the bone. Meat has flavor on all levers. Overall is good choice and affordable. Good Latin choice in the area.

    So excited that Rice N Beans Express is now open. This location not far from Tampa Outlet Mall in…read moreLutz. It's on State Road 54. The first Rice N Beans location was in a modest location and then it became a big restaurant in Wesley Chapel. Now they have this new location which is closer to their first location. They serve rotisserie chicken here and other dishes depending on the day of the week. This is a Puerto Rican restaurant. They do not have mofongo. You can find that at their restaurant. Here, I would definitely say to choose their chicken. It was so good and flavorful. We ordered the full chicken and it included two sides which we chose arroz con gandules and Maduros (rice and sweet plantains). The chicken was our fave for sure and we would definitely get it again. The service was very friendly. I came late on Wednesday night. They close at 7 and it was about 6:45. I picked up a menu and came back the next day. Glad I stopped by and tried the chicken. It was great. There are many chicken places opening up around us, but it's fried chicken. This is roasted chicken. I love Puerto Rican rice arroz con gandules, but I'd ask if it's newly made. I didn't think this rice we had was as fresh and it didn't have much flavor. I would try the rice again if I saw they just made it! This area is becoming a Latin crawl for food. Go to Kinka's for breakfast or dessert, Cosita Rica's for empanadas or soups, and Rice N Beans Express for chicken!

    Great food & service! Always a fun experience!…read more Waitress was fantastic & so much fun!

    Let me clarify first, our waiter deserves 5 stars and he was great…read more CHUY's: a Pathetic attempt at Mexican food The food is a 1 star though. Honestly, hands down the worst attempt at Mexican food I've ever had. This place honestly is a disgrace to Mexican food. The salsa was pathetic, no flavor and tasted like plain tomatoes. The second "salsa" we were told is a house favorite. It was literally a cold tomatillo ranch, gross. I got 2 ground beef enchiladas with Tex mex and a chili relleno. The enchiladas were not good but were also not the worst thing ever. The chili relleno however, tasted like a frozen pack of TGI Fridays mozzarella sticks from the store. No joke, you could taste the freezer burn on them. The beans were watery and had no flavor. The rice, you could easily tell has been sitting in a fridge at least over night. It was dry, hard, and also had no flavor. It amazes me these restaurant owners want to have a successful business, but insist on cutting corners and not making fresh food. Your food sucks and I won't be back. I wouldn't even let my dogs eat this food. Harsh huh? Simple solution, make your own food. If you want a successful restaurant, make your own tortillas, cook your own beef, make your sauce fresh everyday, shred fresh cheese, STOP CUTTING CORNERS. Any person with a good palette can clearly tell everything has either been sitting in a freezer or a fridge over night. The ambiance is also quirky and I'm not sure what themes they're going with. Woods, bricks, dogs on the wall, 90's color schemes, it's just not it. It takes me 5 minutes to make great food at home, I'll never understand why restaurants can't do the same. This is the type of place you see on a Gordon Ramsay show that he tries to save. My taste buds will never forgive me for eating here, don't make the same mistake.
