5 - Honey Butter Chicken Sando is well worth it. Very reminiscent of Whataburger's sauce but actually better IMO. 4 - The waffle fries are also a step up from CFA. 3 - sauces. We tried PDQ and Honey Mustard. Both were decent. 2 - Grilled chicken tenders were SO DRY. But we got them for our toddler. She still seemed to enjoy them. Our dog on the trip said no. Nothing too crazy but glad there's a location to try at the airport. read more

BRANDON is a rock star! He kept the queue moving quickly and informed everyone of what was available for breakfast and after breakfast at 11. He had a great welcoming smile and is very precise and efficient. Glad you have him working for you. Oh, chicken tenders are amazing too! read more

Ok so it's airport food!!!! I was dying laughing of the review down below where she rated them 2 stars because HER HUSBAND ordered wrong. I'm still giggling. My chicken sandwich I ordered today was soooo good! It's not the best one I've ever had, but I wasn't in a restaurant either. It was $7.44 and I devoured it. The sauce is so yummy. The chicken is juicy. Not to mention the staff. ANDRE' ANA was so nice to me and friendly. I can't wait to eat here again. Next time I'm in Tampa. read more

PDQ Tampa - The classic - Chicken Shop Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Airport food can be hit or miss - does anyone look forward to eating a meal at an airport? But PDQ at the Tampa Airport is a hit. Plain and simple, I got the crispy chicken classic sandwich, and it delivered. Crisp, juicy chicken in a warm, buttery bun. Exactly what you'd expect from a good chicken sandwich, and much more than you'd expect from an airport counter! Wash it down with a soda, and you're ready to sit in a metal tube for hours - at least your belly's full of good eats. If you're at the Tampa Airport, stop by the PDQ and grab a chicken sandwich! You'll be glad you did. read more

What do we have here?! What we have is a Krispy honey butter chicken biscuit that made me want to tell CFA just forget about it. Bada Bing Bada Boom! This little piece of heaven had me singing its praises all the way home. PDQ prides themselves on quality, and I assure you I definitely see why. The chicken was cooked to perfection, very juicy and tender, and non greasy. The biscuit itself was baked to the perfect golden brown without being too dry or flaky, just right. I highly recommend giving them a try if you're ever in the Tampa area. read more

Sent my husband to get three (5) piece meals for our family to split. He came back with three (3) piece meals. Luckily we weren't charge for the 5-piece but as a result, I decided not to eat. Menus have SUPER small print so bring your magnifying glass or binoculars. A bit disappointed. Kids said the tenders were good. Fries were soft, not crispy. Meh. read more

Had the honey butter chicken meal. It was amazing. Tried the PDQ sauce - it was VERY flavorful and had a great kick!! Fries were great as well, although I would have enjoyed a few more of them. Service was fast and pleasant. Girl who made my milkshake was very proud of her creation! read more

Why does airport food always have low ratings? PDQ is actually a chain in Tampa. They've got locations outside the airport. This restaurant caught our eye because we were curious to know what fried chicken in Tampa would taste like haha! Staff was fantastic! Super friendly and took their time to explain the menu and the sauce options. I got the nuggets while my sister got tenders. I'm pretty sure they gave us wayyyy more chicken than we asked for but I'll take it haha! We tried a couple sauces, including their ranch, sweet sriracha and the PDQ sauce. Paired well with the chicken! Went back to the counter and tried their fries. Fabulous! Love the waffle fry style. It's really it's own thing. Can't compare the chicken to Popeyes, CFA, KFC, but it was definitely one Im glad to have tried! read more

My first time at one of these restaurants. They were a bit pricy however not many options in this terminal of the airport. The chicken was hot and real. I told the cashier I did not want the meal with that included fries and a drink so instead he charged me for the chicken tenders and fries (not the meal). He did this for both myself and my boyfriend who did not want fries either. I didn't know this until after I got my receipt and saw he upped my charge for fries which I said I did not want. If I wanted fries I would've gotten the meal because that would've been cheaper. Unfortunately the line was busy here and I was rushed off without getting a chance to contend. A lot of food was wasted here as all this food wasn't eaten. read more

Glad to find this place in the chaos of this end of the airport. The tenders were hot off the fryer and were very tasty. I should have doubled my order. Felt like it was a pretyt reasonable option price wise for the airport. Definitely on my list for next time i am in the airport. Service was superfast. read more

Short line. They really had their act together. I waited all of 2-3 min from ordering till my bag was handed to me. Hot as hell, fresh as all get out, and lightning quick! In my check in , I said: Pretty damn hot, pretty damn quick, and pretty damn good! Easily rivals Chick fil A and might be better. Service was kind and spot on. Wish they had a place in Chicago! read more

Ordered a five piece tenders meal. After a few mins, lady called my name and hand me the bag. Went to my gate. A few mins later, I realized that it's not my order so I went back to tell them that they gave me a wrong one. The rude lady told me "of course you grabbed the wrong one! You want your right order after you already ate that one!" I was completely taken aback!! Told her that I didn't touched it! She mumbled something and proceeded to let me know that it's completely my fault that she GAVE me the wrong order!! She also implied that I just want a freebie!! She is completely rude and no manners at all! she should not be in customer service with that kind of attitude. Completely horrible being!!! read more

Get the strips, pass on the sandwich. The sandwich is just strips on bread with the toppings. Save the calories and just go with strips. I'd had the sandwich at a stand alone location and assumed this would be the same chicken breast. Wrong. Anyway, as far as airport food goes, it does what it's supposed to do, fix your hunger. Strips we're fresh, waffle fries were fresh. It's no Chick Fil A, but it'll do. read more

I don't know why airport food is so different than ordering at another location. The quality should not go down because you're at the airport. The service was fast and the cashier was nice. I ordered a 3-piece tender combo. It was $11.22 so not too bad. However, my chicken had a ton of gristle and both the chicken and fries were cold. It's pretty evident they mass cook a lot of stuff and then bag it as it's ordered. It certainly wasn't fresh. I won't eat here again when I'm in C Terminal at TIA. read more

Get the app and get a free sandwich with any purchase! I tried the oatmeal cran apple cookie and it is soft and delicious. My sandwich I got the big buffy bleu. Love their waffle fries and sauces. Honey mustard and sweet sriracha are my faves! Fast and friendly service. read more

Freshly made spicy chicken sandwich with waffle fries. The fries are crisp on the outside and the perfect softness in the middle. The sandwich was the perfect amount of spicy. Really good airport funds in terminal C. My son had the original chicken nuggets which lacked flavor but were fresh and more meat than breading. He would probably get spicy next time. read more

I got the chicken tenders meal. I love that they have a variety of dipping sauces to choose from. I wanted to try the honey BBQ but they were out, so I got the sweet sriracha and the buffalo blue sauces instead. I prefer the sweet sriracha a bit more. Their chicken tenders are awesome. Bits of the crispy breading does fall off the chicken as you eat them. I wasn't a huge fan of their fries. Tasted like they were sitting in the box for too long and they picked up the cardboard box consistency that you don't want in your fries. read more

The chicken here is very good and for a decent price. Just about everything is a Tenders meal. Even the sandwiches are prepare with tenders as the meat instead of a patty, but still very good. I don't recommend eating here if you are in a rush on a Saturday. Most days it's a very quick process, but Saturdays it can take a minute because of the high volume of customers. They have great sauces and their tenders come in grilled, crispy, or spicy. All are pretty good. read more

Great lunch option! I did the jacked meal combo. The chicken was flavorful and tasty. It wasn't too spicy but it was good. Glad I got the sriracha sauce on the side. I could have used some more waffle fries. It wasn't enough lol. The service was good! read more

Walked up in line to order and the young girl behind the counter walked away from the counter immediately, sat on the counter, and opened her Instagram account to scroll through. There was no one else waiting in line. She blatantly ignored serving me and played on her phone. Went to Starbucks instead. What are you paying her for exactly? read more

I did not know these incredible restaurants existed and happen to try one on a recent trip South. I thought CFA had the market for fast food chains but after trying PDQ all chicken stops have a serious competitor. The chicken biscuit was over the top excellent. A nice crunch with a moist tender and juicy boneless chicken breast with some honey butter on a tasty biscuit was a great introduction to this chain. It was a welcome great start to my day. The staff were extremely professional with just the right amount of courtesy. I will intentionally seek out PDQ on any future travels that take me close to any of their locations. read more

I've never heard of this place until today so figured to give it a try. So I ordered my chicken biscuit meal, the guy at the front desk was nice and friendly, and said they would call when it's ready, okay cool. So I go sit down at the tables in front of the restaurant and 15 minutes pass by and i still haven't received my order. So the guy at the front ask me if I got my food yet I said no. Mind you nobody was even in line like that so it's no reason why I should have been waiting that long. I told him how I was unhappy with how long it was taking and asked to speak to a manager who apologized and did give me a refund on the meal. Overall though I wasn't too impressed with the food. The tater tots were very salty and the chicken biscuit sandwich was dry and salty as well. Probably wouldn't eat here again read more

Usually airport food is god awful. PDQ is pretty decent. I ordered the honey butter chicken sandwich with fries. Chicken was juicy, but had an odd seasoning on it which I wasn't a fan of. The roll was the bomb however, and and I did love the honey Sriracha sauce that I added onto my sandwich and dunked my fries in. Fries could have been a little crispier but were still good. May try tenders next time I'm down in the Tampa area. read more

Yummy fresh food with a great atmosphere and friendly environment. The speed of service is amazing.

Long line but excellent service that was quick! The fries were fresh and hot! The Crispy chicken tender sandwich was hot, fresh, and delicious! Keep up the great service! I originally wanted spicy chicken, but they were out, but they were spot on the crispy sandwich! read more

First time trying this restaurant! Have to say it was delicious ! The service was great! Definitely recommend!

3.5 stars, rounded up for being at an airport. I was fairly disappointed this morning when I got to TPA and there was no McDonald's for breakfast in Terminal C. I cautiously walked by PDQ, which had a short line, but a decent breakfast selection. I selected a chicken biscuit, tots, and unsweetened iced tea. The chicken biscuit was great, I would say better than Chick Fil A's. The tots could've been cooked a tiny bit more, but were still good. No issues with the tea. Service was pleasant. A little slow but totally fine. I would definitely return here if I was hungover again in TPA Terminal C read more

I came to the location at south dale mabry many times but my last experience may have change me as a loyal customer I asked for a Buffy blu sandwich with no lettuce and extra sauce there was extra lettuce and barely any sauce! Asked for a honey butter sandwich with extra honey butter when I opened the sandwich there was no honey butter and no pickles! Got a 3 piece chicken tender with a large waffle fry and a large sweet tea the cup was filled with ice so I had no very little sweet tea the chicken was cold and dry and the waffle fries were cold as well I don't know what's going on there but they need to be trained better! read more

If you are at the Tampa International Airport and you hungry, then this is great spot for chicken! I can't tell you how good this chicken hit that spot! Lol I wanted to buy like 2 more for later! There were two sections of restaurants on opposite ends and one in the middle between the gates where southwest flies out of. The customer service was great. I decided to get their signature honey butter chicken sandwich and I added the lettuce and tomato. The chicken was nice and crispy but not burnt at all with a honey butter sauce that will knock your socks off! I likes sweet especially honey! The fries were basic but with the honey mustard dipping sauce they weren't bad either. Overall I can't wait to fly back to Tampa! Lol read more

Worst experience yet!!!! Ordered the BOGO wings and 2 orders of fries and a drink online, drove 10 miles to pick it up, got all the way home, no wings, the wrong drink, and 4 orders of fries, called them and they said they would remake the whole order, drove all the way back up there and all they gave us were the missing wings, so came home to cold soggy fries and still the wrong drink!!! Will definitely think twice before ordering from them again!!! read more

There was no line and that should have told me to go somewhere else. I wanted something with a lot of protein, so I went with the chicken bowl. Looked good in the picture, and when it arrived it was larger than I expected. I thought that was a good thing. Then there was the juice at the bottom of the bowl. Why was there juice at the bottom of the bowl? I dove in and it was good at first. Then there was the juice at the bottom of the bowl. The bowl had crispy chicken, eggs, cheese and potatoes. I took a bite and there was a tangy taste. I don't know why, but it was tangy. I didn't want tangy. I kept eating, but I couldn't finish it. I should have just stayed in the line at Starbucks. It was a long line, but it would have been worth it. I didn't finish the meal and I washed it down with a Monster Energy drink. Save your stomach and go somewhere else. read more

Got the Honey Butter Chicken Sandwich. Asked if I could get it without picked and cashier said yes. When I got the sandwich, it had pickles and when I looked at the receipt, it didn't say "no pickles" so that is on the cashier. Sandwich actually tasted pretty good, but the fries were only like warm. Seemed like the crew was busier chatting than actually serving. So sandwich was good, service and fries were so-so. read more

While I stand here and waiting for someone to help me I thought I would leave a review. PDQ in terminal C suppose to open at 8:00am it's now 8:13am and employees just looking at the Line form to order breakfast. You're located at the airport.... Why is no one serving us???? Who ever own this franchise. You need a better GM for this location. It's now 8:20am and still no one to help. read more

PDQ Tampa - No one wants to server us for breakfast! - Chicken Shop Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Just like any of the locations, the food rocks! VERY IMPORTANT This is inside the sterile area of the airport (past security checkpoints) So if you get excited that there is a PDQ that opens at 4am, think again, unless you have a boardIng pass for a flight. I did not ask them if they would bring it to the other side of security for like a pick-up order. read more

Good fresh chicken at Tampa airport. Honey butter sandwich and crispy chicken sandwich were better than expected. Fries nicely salted + peppered, great dipped in honey bbq sauce. Would eat again. read more

So I actually picked this as my second choice, my first choice was burger 21 which is next door to PDQ, after ordering at Burger 21, waited for 25 minutes all I got was sliders and fries, after waiting that long I decided to go ahead and get my money back and go to PDQ next door, I was greeted by a young lady she was very nice and helpful, I ordered a crispy chicken sandwich combo(strongly recommend it) and a strawberry shake(amazing!!) after I ordered my food I was probably waiting for like 5 minutes, then I got my food, so at first I'm like maybe they made a mistake that was too fast, I checked my food everything was good, so if you are getting off a plane or about to get into one and want to grab a quick bite, I strongly recommend this location, enjoy! read more
