Let me start by saying I'm a huge PDQ fan and I wasn't thrilled that they closed this location to change it to a new concept. I however decided to give it a try.
The building is similar inside to the old PDQ styling with a more colorful vibe. The Coke freestyle machines are thankfully gone (not a fan of the sticky poor taste concept by Coke) replaced by self serve Pepsi, owners of KFC.
They removed about half of the seating so it's a little harder to find a place to sit. We had to wait for a table.
The employees were enthusiastic, happy, and very friendly, a nice touch.
Ordered the tenders and a few different sauces. The tendies, as they call them, were very crispy and juicy. A little on the small size but had good flavor.
You only get 2 sauces then you have to buy more. We tried 4 and didn't like any of them. The best was the jalapeño pesto ranch. Honestly the sauces are not even close to the delicious offering by PDQ. Bring a garlic option. And add blue cheese to your buffalo.
The crinkle cut fries are a win. Seasoned well and nice and crispy.
I love a good Brussels sprouts dish. These were chewy and overcooked. I don't recommend.
My prediction is that this Saucy restaurant will last about a year and a half and then something else will find a home in this premium location. In the chicken tender wars, Saucy is a mediocre middle-of-the pack option at best. read more
