    Chicken Sandwich
    Paul J.

    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.

    Honey butter chicken biscuit

    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.

    Chicken nuggets

    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!

    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.

    Spicy chicken sandwich and waffle fries
    Arisha H.

    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.

    Got old dry and chewy strips. Should have been thrown out. I did after paying them $12 bucks for $2 worth of chicken.

We asked the cashier for recommendations and he mentioned the Pork Drizzler and Billy Cheesesteak. We ordered those and a side of fries. I asked for mushrooms on the side for the cheesesteak. Portions are generous so we decided to split both sandwiches. Our favorite was the Billy. The Drizzler was juicy and tasty but the Billy hit it out of the park. The fries were thick and salted just right. I will add that the service here was exceptional. Will definitely be back next time in Tampa!

I'm a foodie, and I make it a point to try new places. My wife dragged me to this place and sweet Jesus thank you for the blessing! The service is great, two guys running the place the day we went, one was the owner. Great story on how it started. The ambiance is chill, they have a tv playing sports, the day I went it was the Olympics and then soccer. Right down the street from Raymond James Stadium on the back street. The place is very comfortable and clean. Try the South Tampa sandwich. Best Cuban you will ever get.

The ambiance is amazing but the service was extremely poor. I asked for a cup of water for my dog and the service told me there was a cooler sitting in front of me that had water. I said well that is empty and she just walked away. That was number one. We ordered our food and decided we would take it back to the boat and eat there. I asked one of the servers/bartenders to bring us to go containers, she said okay and went on doing whatever she was doing and never brought them. When our food came out I asked our server and she got them immediately. The food is okay, we had sandwiches and they were tasty. I've eaten here in the past but only inside at the bar. This was a different experience and although the service was bad the ambiance makes up for it, hence the 3 stars Overall I do suggest this restaurant specifically for the ambiance. You can sit at a table on the beach or put your chairs in the water and sip your cocktail. It's super chill and a great place to hang out with friend or meet new friends!
