Quick lunch with the hubby and PDQ is always a good choice. Its always clean and quick! We are always greeted warmly by the cashier. We both had the four-piece meal combo which is very filling. I did notice this time that the name of my favorite sauce, sweet heat, had changed. I guess Taco Bell purchased the name and PDQ can no longer use it. Who knew? read more

I love this place despite the limited menu offerings. In fact, that might be one of the secrets to #PDQ's success - they do a few things extremely well, as they only offer tenders, sandwiches and salads. Their chicken tenders are simply amazing!! I usually get the "3 Fresh Tenders Meal" with fries and honey mustard. Their tenders are just that - extremely tender; not soggy, but not hard and over cooked either. They are crispy on the outside but warm and tender on the inside. I love them! I also want to mention their sauces. I've tried both the honey mustard and ranch at PDQ and both are legit. They are bursting with flavor and taste fresh, almost like they are made in house, maybe they are!?! I usually don't comment on the drink options available at most establishments, as they are usually your standard Coke or Pepsi products, sweet tea and/or lemonade. However, I'd like to mention that PDQ offers this Coca-Cola freestyle self-serve thingy, in which you can mix and match over 100 different flavors of Coke products. Its pretty cool if you've never tried it and is sure to be a hit with most kids. The only reason I am not giving this place five stars is because I've had a chance to try the grilled chicken sandwich (on an egg/white bun). It was good, not great. Too plain, too simple, not much creativity or originality, but STILL tasty. Other than the chicken sandwich, this place is a most try if you love chicken tenders and are in the Concord Mills area. read more

First time here, and I was pretty impressed. I had the crispy chicken sandwich, my boyfriend had tenders and my daughter also had tenders. My sandwich was DELICIOUS. Pretty big size of chicken breast, and the portion of fries was perfect. The tenders were great for my daughter, but size wise were not good for an adult. They were tasty non the less. Only true complaints were the size of the tenders which were perfect size for kids and the fries. They needed to be more crispy. Will definitely be back! read more

If you're looking for a very very very very very good chicken this is your spot. I've never had a bad experience here the chicken here is top-notch better than Chick-fil-A times two. read more

Great service, and stupidly inexpensive. Food is all very oily, but I mean if ya ass need to eat is that really that big of an issue? Nah. Good eats. read more

Stopped & wanted something fast but good, had never herd of this place. Very surprised GREAT! Place. Hope to see one in the Lynchburg, Va area soon. The chicken seemed to be fresh and not frozen great little place. Good prices. read more

PDQ - Try the Sweet Heat & Creamy Garlic sauces on the chicken tenders. - Fast Food Near Me - Concord, North Carolina

Cleanliness has went downhill since we last came. 92.5 sanitation score. We ordered 20 tenders and they were anything but hot or fresh. We will continue going to the huntersville location from now on and skip this location. read more

Very good and fast service! super clean and attentive. would definitely go again! would probably go earlier so good tastes more fresh but either way very good! read more

This was my favorite fast food spot when I was in Huntersville. The chicken was full of flavor. The fries perfect and all the sauce options! My go to was honey mustard or the buffalo blue cheese. Best part about PDQ ... The apple slices with toffee dip. Just thinking about it makes me want to take the trip to Concord. read more

I just love PDQ. We do not live remotely close by, but I will make up any excuse to be close enough to stop in. Chicken is awesome. Salads are fresh and tasty. Fries are fresh cut (as all fries should be). The sauces are just incredible. The honey mustard is the best anywhere and I crave the creamy garlic. Great service and the place is always very clean. The only thing I'm on the fence about with this location is that the fries are not consistent. One visit they are over cooked, the next they are undercooked. Sometimes they are just right and when they are, they are the best anywhere! Tenders (in Mooresville), the flagship of this chain, gets the fries right every single time, so I know it's possible. There is a definite flaw somewhere in the process here and that's the only reason for four vs, five stars. read more

We had such an amazing experience at PDQ. We already knew the food would be amazing and after a long trip home it was our go to stop even though it was 9:30 at night. We not only got top notch fresh food, even with 20 mins to close, but Alexa stayed with us at the window while the food was being made and had the most delightful conversation with us. She made us feel so welcome and genuinely interested in our experience at PDQ! It was honestly the best drive through experience both I and my mother have ever had. Well worth going in or going through the drive through for a bite! PS their food puts other fast food to shame. read more

PDQ - Fast Food Near Me - Concord, North Carolina

See all

Excellent Service! Rarely do I have a memorable experience grabbing something quick and going through the drivethru but Eden was inviting and very friendly. I apologize for not recalling his name but the gentleman at the second window was awesome too. Tenders were fresh and the bleu cheese sauce was on point. Tried the blueberry coleslaw which was awesome and refreshing on a hot day. Definitely have a limited menu but as they say, it's better to be the ace of one rather than the jack of all. Good job PDQ, I'll be back. read more

Found a great place for a quick meal during lunch or dinner. Looking forward to going back. 12/2015 - Still my favorite. The food is alway freshly made and hot. read more

SOOOOO GOOD! I suggest their Honey Chicken Sandwich. Seriously the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. The people are always super nice and for it being fast food it really does taste fresh. It's a little more expensive - a full meal runs about 10 bucks but it's worth it. read more

Wow this place has amazing customer service; from the moment you walk through the door until you leave. Extremely clean as well. Food was fantastic for fast food. Very impressed and will be sure to visit this location again. read more

*UPDATE* I was contacted by the district manage, he requested my address. A few weeks later i received about 9 coupons good for 3 chicken tenders, a sandwich or a salad. I appreciate that they finally made and effort, however, for me it was a little to late. I gave the coupons to my daughter for her and her fiance. I'll stick with my new found Concord favorite Steak N' Shake! read more

The little for find is great. I'm in love with the quality of the food. The chicken is nicely seasoned and the portion sizes are nice. They have unique sauce and I just love the garlic one. I always finish it up with the apples with the carmel sauce omgoodness I can taste it now. If you have gone to 131 main and had there chicken fingers they are the same. I go here every chance I have. read more

I thought this place was great and refreshing for a better quality fast food place. The place was very clean and service was good. The zucchini fries are delicious and they also support sandwiches without the bun and using lettuce. I had a Cali Club chicken sandwich with lettuce which was good. It would had probably been better if I tried one of the dipping sauces. The salads also came out nice and my mother tried one with a blueberry vinaigrette. They also have some turkey burgers. Their french fries are good too! A nice variety of food on their menu and would love to try their chicken tenders in the future! They have a nice variety of sauces and offer a generous amount! I'd certainly come back if there was a closed PDQ near me! read more

Love PDQ in Concord, the atmosphere and service are great. The pimento crunch sandwich is outstanding. Occasionally you can get a chewy piece of chicken but normally they are pretty good cuts. Highly recommend the creamy garlic and sweet sriracha sauces. read more

Tenders are fabulous, fries are Great, love the Green tea. One of my favorites. Fast service and frendly staff

I didn't know this was a fast food joint because it looked so fancy! I like the way you order, the digital menus and when they say "Heather, your dinner is ready" on the speaker. The menu is very small. You can basically get tenders, crispy/grilled salads or a crispy or grilled sandwich. So not much to choose from. The tenders we got were okay, I personally like zaxby's batter better. We also got the blueberry coleslaw which was okay. It is cheaper than zaxbys and the inside is much nicer. Parking was great. A great pick me up, they have a drive thru! read more

Fries were good, sauces were great, nuggets were not. Really spongy/slimy consistency, made me lose my appetite. Can't speak for the rest of the food but don't get the nuggets. read more

A great place to eat in Concord, NC. It is very quick and the staff is super friendly! This is always a go to when I'm in town and it never disappoints, it is a little more on the pricey side of fast food however. You will not be disappointed if you stop by. read more

I love this place this is really good really wholesome fast food I wish there was one actually in Charlotte like close to where I live

I say this place has the best fast food I've ever tasted, however it's too good to be called fast food. Great , fresh food, great service

I've been meaning to try this restaurant and decided today was the day. My husband and I both ordered the crispy chicken salad. For the price it was definitely not worth it! The salads are not very big and there was not a lot of chicken on it. I could tell that the chicken was fresh but it lacked seasoning. Unfortunately I decided to try the ranch and that was awful! I've had better quality Ranch out of a bottle but my husband ordered his with the honey mustard and really enjoyed that sauce. Overall, I doubt I will be a repeat customer, but I can say that the customer service was a positive experience. read more

Best new fast food concept and it started in the LKN area. The tenders are great, milkshakes are very good as well. The new layout is great. I have also visited the Raleigh location and seems to be very consistent customer service across all the board, excellent. read more

I love PDQ in Concord, it's always well run, clean, great service, consistent. Which is all such a change from normal fast food places. The chicken tenders are as good as you can get anywhere, and I love the handmade sauces. Buffalo blue is my fav! And you gotta have the shakes. They even use the big shake straws, so you don't have to strain a muscle in your neck trying to drink it. I eat here every other week or so. Great place. read more

If I could give this place 10 stars I would! It is SO good. Such a cool concept. They only serve poultry, but unlike another chicken only fast food place, they have turkey too. All fresh, nothing frozen. Great family restaurant. Fast food but tastes nothing like fast food. Everything is made to order. The employees are super friendly. If it's raining they'll even offer to walk you to your car with a huge PDQ umbrella. PDQ stands for People Dedicated to Quality and they definitely are! The food is delicious, great sandwiches, chicken fingers, fresh cut fries, milkshakes with huge straws and salads. We make a stop here at least once a week for an easy lunch or dinner or just for a milkshake. Once you eat here you'll be saying Chick-Fil-Who?? read more

We live about a mile from this PDQ at Concord mills......lucky! Why are we lucky to have yet, another chicken tender joint you ask? The answer is in the ingredients. PDQ uses the same ingredients that I would use at home. They make everything fresh...everything. When you go thru the drive-thru you can see the youngsters pressing out fries on a medieval looking gadget. Salads and sandwiches are on the menu as well. I have yet to try a sandwich but I have eaten the chicken caesar salad with grilled chicken.....huge and delicious! Do yourself a favor and finish off with a shake, nothing short of great. This place is sure to be a hit with this area, I know it is with my family. Bottom line....while you are out braving the mall, stop in and fill up on the goodness that is PDQ. read more

I stumbled across this place just driving beside Concord Mills and originally thought it was a Mini-storage. When I walked in I wasn't exactly sure of where to go. There is a lot of open space and the store is very clean. There's a hand sink in the dining room for you wash and sanitize you hands. The menu is relatively small and features a couple of forms of chicken strips and sandwiches. What I was taken back by was the fact that they had a turkey option for every chicken entree. On this particular trip I ordered the fried turkey sandwich. It was crispy, juicy, and very well worth the relatively high price. Although there were some earthy undertones that I really wasn't a fan of. I got fries for my side and they loaded my box with fries almost past the point of five guys. They fries were seasoned to perfection and the perfect mix of soft and crunchy. I also got a side of blueberry slaw, which was just OK and really didn't need the blueberries. Over all this place is worth a try for lunch or quick fly by dinner. You should difinitely try it at least once. read more

Delicious! Extremely fast, puts a traditional fatty food joint to shame.

After riding past PDQ so many times, I was finally able to visit this restaurant. Simply put, it was amazing, mainly because of the service. The food was amazing too though. I ordered chicken strips, and while they were a bit pricey, I enjoyed them. I wish I would have gotten more fries with my order, and believe I should have gotten more. However, the food was great nonetheless. Employees working at this location were great. That is probably the only word I can sum them up as. They were so friendly and helpful, and made me extremely glad I finally visited this restaurant. I cannot wait to go back. I love the atmosphere. read more

We noticed this place driving by coming from concord mills. Wanting to try something new, we stopped to dine in. The staff were friendly and the inside was clean. After ordering, before we could even sit down our food was ready. This was also the case for others who came both before and after us. I ordered the chicken sandwich with bacon, lettuce and mayo and my husband ordered chicken tenders. I must say, there are very few chicken sandwiches that topped that one! It was flavorful, crispy, and fresh. Usually, I get cheese on my chicken sandwiches, but I didn't even realize I didn't order cheese until about 2 bites from finishing the sandwich, it was THAT good! My husband also enjoyed his tenders and we both agreed we'd be back soon! read more

Today I made my first and second trip to PDQ and know there will be more to come! The best thing about the restaurant is that it is CLEAN (sanitation score was a 99)! When you enter its not entirely clear where you're supposed to go to order, but the layout is very open and bright. Jordan had the grilled chicken sandwich and I the grilled turkey. The food was fresh and didn't taste like your average Mickey D's sandwich. The fries were shoe string style (not my favorite), but they were seasoned well. My absolute favorite thing and the reason I made a second trip to PDQ was for the fresh lemonade! The lemonade was so tart but so good! read more

Chicken sandwiches are good, and we love the zucchini fries! The kids love the chicken nuggets, and fries! 4 stars because it is a bit pricey, and menu is small. read more

2 cold sandwiches and fries after waiting in line way too long. I was given two coupons that allow me to buy one and get one free, not good compensation for a 21 dollar meal for 2. I will never eat anything from this restaurant and I will encourage everyone I know to Avoid this establishment. If I could give no stars I would. read more

Excellent chicken fingers, very fresh, and they have a few different sauces to dip your tenders in.

Buffalo Blue sandwich is my favorite! Especially with ranch on the side to dip it in! This place has the best ranch on the planet!!!!!! The zucchini fries are amazing and totally worth the up charge to have it as your side! read more

I've given it several chances, but it just isn't worth it. There is absolutely nothing for vegetarians on the menu. How hard is it to make a grilled cheese?? I asked at the register and made a suggestion to a staff member who asked if there was anything about our experience that could be improved. Both literally shrugged and me and offered no "sorry" or "I'll mention it to management". I can pay a lot less for a bland salad elsewhere. No thanks. read more
