    I'm one of those people that will check out any place that is chicken related anywhere I go, so PDQ is definitely a top spot for me in WC! The food is always fresh and delicious, I love their milkshakes, and it's always spotless. The service could be a little better but I feel like everyone has their off days so I can't judge that too much. My go to is always the chicken sandwich and their waffle fries, which you can't go wrong with!

    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!

    Food came out super fast and they were super polite and I've never seen a Pdq give bread with the meal honestly everything was so good

    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.

    Strawberry milkshake with lots of whip cream! The little devil in the backseat ready to steal

    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.

But I have to say, this Lutz location is by far the best one we've visited, and that's all thanks to Corey. Seriously, that's how you run a fast-food restaurant. I've never experienced service this good at a fast-food establishment before. Corey went above and beyond, not just for us, but for everyone in the restaurant. He was constantly checking on guests, making sure everyone was satisfied, and creating such a welcoming atmosphere. Him and the rest of the staff were incredibly friendly and genuinely seemed to care about the customer experience. The amazing service aside, we absolutely love the food here. The chicken tenders are fantastic, and you can tell the breading is made fresh and with quality ingredients. The mac and cheese was unbelievable too. It wasn't the hottest when it arrived, but honestly, the flavour was so good that I didn't even care. The sauces are always a huge highlight at Chicken Guy! as well. They have some of the best dipping sauces in the fast-food world, and it's always fun trying different combinations. Those Egg Rolls were fantastic too! Very unique. As an added bonus, Corey was kind enough to give my dad and me samples of a couple milkshakes, and they were fantastic too. We genuinely can't say enough good things about Corey and this location. Between the incredible customer service, delicious food, and welcoming atmosphere, this was easily the best fast-food experience we've ever had, and I'm not just saying that. Easy 5 stars.

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!

Yes, Chuy's is a chain, but if you're thinking typical chain-restaurant Tex-Mex, I personally think it's much better than that. I almost ALWAYS order the King's Memorial combo because for around $18, the amount of food you get is ridiculous--in the best way. You get a crispy taco, three enchiladas (cheese, beef AND chicken), Mexican rice and refried beans, plus crispy chips underneath the taco covered in that creamy queso. It hits the spot every single time, and I ALWAYS have leftovers. Little piece of advice: EAT THE TACO FIRST. Crispy tacos deserve to be enjoyed fresh and crunchy. They are not tomorrow's problem. My friend usually gets one of the burrito combos, which comes with a HUGE burrito, Mexican rice and black beans. She loves hers and usually ends up taking leftovers home too. I've also sampled enough food from other people's plates over the years to say I haven't really found anything here that I dislike. The fajitas are delicious, the margaritas are decent, and the prices are reasonable for the portions. Now let's talk about those complimentary chips and dips. We call the creamy one the "crack sauce." If you know, YOU KNOW. It comes out with the chips and salsa, and we literally have to make ourselves stop eating the chips because we want to save some of that creamy sauce for our actual meals. On our most recent visit, we sat on the bar side and had Ian taking care of us. He was friendly, respectful, quick with everything and checked in to make sure we were good. He even brought us some extra dipping sauce, which absolutely earned him bonus points with us. His name also happened to stick with me for a personal reason, so I definitely wanted to make sure he got his shout-out. The restaurant itself is super cute inside, and although we usually gravitate toward the bar side, the entire place has a fun atmosphere. Our service over multiple visits has consistently been good--20%-tip-worthy good--and the staff is usually pleasant and helpful. There are A LOT of restaurants to choose from in this area, especially if you're already over here shopping, so I know picking somewhere can get overwhelming. But if you like Tex-Mex and you've driven past Chuy's thinking, "Hmm... I wonder if that place is any good?" I definitely recommend stopping in at least once. If you hate it, I'm sorry. If you love it... you're welcome. We'll absolutely be back the next time our Silver Springs adventures bring us through Lutz!
