PDQ has been our go to spot for Father's Day lunch. They do a special for fathers and it's great because we love the food there. We came in and it was actually pretty busy we waited a little to order and was surprised how fast the food came out. We also order one of their new floats which they give you a cup of ice cream and then you fill it at the machine with whatever soda you want. The chicken was fresh and perfectly fried, we tried their teriyaki sauce but to us it was very salty in our opinion but the Korean bbq was good. read more

Chicken was great, fries were mid. Sauce is interesting and different and it went well with the chicken. Good place for a quick meal.

So disappointed. I love PDQ. I had to go to Brandon Mall today and thought, yeah, I can swing by PDQ. The person who took my order was reserved, but ok. I notice the normal person who ran the kitchen and checked the orders was out. Should have paid attention. The guy giving me the order was not friendly at all, I should have paid attention, but I didn't. I love their broccoli and cheese side. Just ate it, it was no where near as good as usually. Less cheese and very dry. I was going to let it pass. Then I get to my chicken. Not only is it two pieces short, the three pieces I got are the smallest pieces I have ever gotten from PDQ. Sometimes when I order 5 pieces, a small 6th piece will be in there. These pieces are all the size of the small pieces that sometimes sleep in. I paid $16 for a crappy meal. Adding to the frustration is the fact PDQ is my go to. Not anymore. I may give this location one more chance, but if it is the same experience, I am done, it was that bad. read more

I think this is the first time I ever bought some food in the drive-through and I just made it home and it doesn't taste fresher look fresh the chicken looks overdone over cooked and hard kind of beef jerky and my fries were not hot. Kind of pisses me off because usually I like to stop by here and get to go food and it's always really fresh and tasty when I arrive home. read more

PDQ Chicken - Not cool! I feel as if I wasted 30 something dollars on food that wasn't even a bit warm. - Fast Food Near Me - Brandon, Florida

10/10 food and service. the worker james was great at taking my order and i loved the strawberry lemonade he made me.

We don't know Brandon very well at all, and it was very hard to find a fast place to eat on a Sunday afternoon. Luckily, we saw the tiny PDQ sign tucked away on the side of the road. We had to make a U-turn to get there but it was worth it. Of course, it seemed like 1/2 of town thought the same thing. The drive through wrapped around the building and onto the side street, so we decided to just park and go inside. I was going to get tenders until we saw their light board promoting their new spicy chicken sandwich. Both hubby and I were, YES! Ok, let's get the side dishes out of the way. Waffle fries? Great as always. Parmesan broccoli? Always worth the up-charge. How in the world can a fast food restaurant do broccoli better than fancy places? Who knows... That spicy chicken sandwich? Delicious. First bite, good chicken. Second bite, ok, there's some spice. By the third bite, wow! Definitely a slow burn there, great surprise. Totally enjoyed it. It can hold its own in the spicy chicken sandwich wars. As for the restaurant itself? Clean. The busboy was sweet and busy as a bee. Bathroom was spotless. The food trays were being carried out by someone who appeared to be the manager. That long drive through? We were sitting by the window and it was moving, so I'm sure they were hopping back there as well. Highly recommend this PDQ if you are in Brandon. read more

This is the first time I tried a PDQ on the west coast of Florida and it was very good. The restaurant was set up to follow Covid-19 social distancing policies and people seemed to adhere to them. I had the 5 piece geilled chicken tenders, with waffle fries and a vanilla Diet Coke. Placing the order was easy and the person who took it, gave me a very nice greeting when I approached the counter. My meal was delivered to my table in a paperbag and it was hot and fresh!!! They opened at 11AM and I arrived at 10:58AM, so everything was feshly cooked to order, which I think they try to do, but aren't always successful at. The cost of my meal was just under $11, which I think is on the high side. However, the restaurant is nice, the food was fresh and I'm a fan of the chain. The reason I didn't give them the 5th star was because they just opened and the booth I sat at had some food on one side of it and the table did have some crumbs, which I wiped away with a napkin. I'd definitely come back to this location. read more

This was my first visit. The drive thru experience was wonderful. The service was very professional, quick, and friendly. I ordered the Cali Club with zucchini fries. The grilled chicken on the sandwich was a pretty good size and tasted great. I liked the addition of avocado and homemade ranch.There was a good amount of lettuce, tomato, bacon, and avocado. Could it be improved? Absolutely. I'd prefer slices of avocado instead of the mashed avocado. The bun to chicken ratio was also off. I had quite a bit of the bun left over. The zucchini fries were meh. My mother said they were tasteless, and I had to remind her a couple of times that it was zucchini and not potato fries. They were wimpy, and didn't have any seasoning on them. The ones at Jimmy Hula's are better. The fries did taste a little better after dipping them into the creamy garlic sauce. Get a sauce to pair with it (a choice of sauce comes with the meal) or you'll be very disappointed. I give the food a solid 3 stars. The extra star is for the service which I thought was better than the food. The convenience of giving your order directly to a person (face-to-face) instead of through a microphone made the drive thru experience better than all the others. I wasn't expecting that. I also wanted to be fair because I haven't tried their bowls or fried chicken sandwiches yet. I want to try the Honey Butter or Pimento Crunch next time. The pictures of those sandwiches look fantastic. read more

I ordered 4 tenders tossed in garlic Parmesan sauce. It was so greasy, the chicken was soggy and I couldn't taste the Parmesan. The mac n cheese was bland and so was the garlic bread I had to season it at home. Waste of money read more

This is one of my go to lunch places...love this chicken chain for all the variety they offer. Always a quick meal with good service both at the order point and pickup. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The food and sauces are always fresh. Salads, tenders and sandwiches are all recommended. For dessert their shakes are excellent. My all time favorite is a seasonal-only apple pie. Highly recommend this restaurant chain that is dedicated to quality and this location is no exception. read more

Always a good value for the money we come here quite often and have some tenders loving. The manager Jamie does a wonderful job with this restaurant. The food is always good and the bathrooms are clean. We will always be coming back here read more

PDQ Chicken - Resturant - Fast Food Near Me - Brandon, Florida

Zucchini fries are so good! Opt to have these instead of regular fries. I have nothing bad to say about PDQ. I frequent PDQ's at least 2-3 times a week for lunch. Healthier option then other fast food places. Milk Shakes Zucchini Fries Chicken Tenders Huge portion chicken salads all yummy! read more

The experience began with the person at the window taking my order. Not sure if it's her but my receipt says Leilani. Very very sweet polite and MOST of all patient. I am not familiar with the menu and she efficiently assisted me to ordering my PDQ salad with spicy nuggets tossed in bullafo Bleu cheese. Sound like something you order at a sit down meal. Well this experience and quality of food has my vote!!! Yum yummy. And Leilani thank you for your excellent service. read more

PDQ Chicken - Chicken sandwich - Fast Food Near Me - Brandon, Florida

Oh PDQ. You won our hearts when you were "that new chicken place". PDQ has been a staple of this area for quite some time (and has expanded statewide). This location is consistently good! The service has always been great here. I normally get the chicken tenders which are phenomenal with sweet sriracha. Fries? Always. Wash it down with a lemonade (so addicting!) There have been some changes to the menu in recent months - the straight fries are now waffle fries. I actually miss the straight fries a lot but the waffle fries aren't bad! I also miss the option to upgrade to tots! Nuggets were great too. I'm not a big fan of their sandwiches. I've always felt either a little underwhelmed or had messiness issues with the sandwiches so I normally stick to the nuggets. It's Fall right now (November) so the sleeper fall menu is out. Don't sleep on this menu. Remember how I said I don't care for their sandwiches? The crispy Turkey sandwich is the exception. Tender juicy Turkey, cranberry sauce, and a sauce that tastes a little like thanksgiving dressing? YES. GET IT. Sweet potato waffle fries with a slice marshmallow dip? YES. GET IT. You really can't go wrong with a PDQ and this location in particular. read more

I came here because of good reviews since I'm out of state I trusted the good reviews. Was not disappointed. Food was great, good portion and neatly prepared. Would recommend and come again! read more

PDQ Chicken - Crispy chicken sandwich - Fast Food Near Me - Brandon, Florida

Decent chicken chain in FL. I like to call this place "faster food", because it's quick but fresher than your Burger King or Taco Bell standard fast food places. Their best item is the chicken strips. Lightly breaded, they are juicy and tasty and never dried out. They do vary in size, though, which is a little inconsistent from meal to meal. The French fries are thin, which I'm not a huge fan of. I prefer crinkled cut or steak fry size. More to put some ketchup on. The vanilla milkshake I had was good but tasted of ice milk, which I don't care for much. I'd rather a hand dipped shake if I'm going to have one. Drive-thru takes a bit of time so be prepared for the wait. At $10 and change, you're paying a premium for slightly better food than the fast chains, but if you're a chicken fan this is a place to try! read more

PDQ Chicken - Small shake! - Fast Food Near Me - Brandon, Florida

First time visiting a PDQ. On the outside the location looks like a table service restaurant rather than a quick service. Then as you walk inside the seating blurs the line too between a quick service and a table service. We tried their tenders as well as chicken sandwiches. Everyone enjoyed their food. We tried the zucchini fries, which I wasn't fussed about - they seemed a little on the cold side. Nonetheless everything else was great. They have coke freestyle machines too, which is always a plus. And a handing washing station too. Will definitely stop at a PDQ again. read more

Best. Chicken. Anyplace. Drop mic. Seriously, PDQ is awesome! The breading on the chicken is light, and the fries are super-crispy. For a special treat, try the honey butter chicken sandwich - swoon-worthy! read more

I enjoy PDQ I love the fresh breaded tenders, the hand blended shakes and the coke machines. The service is always fast and friendly and the food is always fresh and made to order. I wish there was a PDQ closer to me. (yes I know there is one in Clearwater but still too far.. ) read more

It's rare that I post a negative review, but I am still in disbelief regarding the price of my lunch today. I came to PDQ on my lunch break, wanting something simple and low-calorie. I figured that ordering grilled tenders and rejecting the meal option for just a water would be the best choice. If I had known that 4 scrawny slices of chicken was going to cost almost $7, I would have gone somewhere else. The tenders were not even seasoned- do you see any seasoning in the photo? The only flavor came from the sauce- which was thankfully tasty. The 2 stars are for the service- the staff was all VERY friendly and put out the orders very quickly. read more

What ever happened to PDQ? I admit it's been a while since I visited. But wow! They have really taken a turn for the worst. We went there the other day to find out they discontinued the blueberry slaw, crinkle cut fries and the zucchini fries. All they have now is some broccoli side and waffle fries which I can't stand. I ordered the strips which were okay, but my wife ordered the sandwich which came out raw. The mgr apologized and gave her free strips instead and took the sandwich off our bill. That's the only reason I gave it 2 stars instead of 1. Very disappointing to see how it's changed over the years. read more

Hear me out; the food is great! UNTIL WE SAW A RAT! I was having dinner with my boyfriend when all the sudden he sees a rat by the tvs up on the ledge. Once we told the manager the only thing we got was "oh yeah there's a hole in the roof, I guess our exterminator missed one." It really was gross and ruined our entire dinner!! read more

Great food. Really can't complain other than the fries not being fresh. They were a little cold but it was a long drive home and the ac was thooooooomin so I don't fully blame them read more

A+ on cleanness - we sat by the bar and watched their open kitchen and the floor was spotless. Make it fresh: they pride themselves on making things fresh as we sat in the bar area watching the kitchen they made the zucchini fries from scratch. He took out the zucchini chopped up and bread them right in front of us. We also had these and they were delicious. Make sure you dip them in the sauce. The chicken tenders are fabulous. Crunchy and quiet a lot. The 3 meal combo was plenty for me. The sliced apples with toffee were perfectly delicious at the end of the meal. This is a must at PDQ. I love watching how everyone works as a team to run a smooth restaurant. Love the fountain sink by the drink dispenser. It's nice to be able to wash your hands prior to eating instead of going to bathroom. Overall a great fast food place with a fresh food approach. Keep it Fresh guys! Oh almost forgot. Gluten free options here. They offer lettuce wraps. Fantastic! read more

I'm a longtime fan of PDQ. I love their customer service and "most" of their products. On a whim during happy hour, I purchased a seasonal banana pudding milkshake. Sounds great, right? It was more like a vanilla wafer milkshake with a "hint" of bananas. They should call it a VANILLA WAFER milkshake, and save the few bananas being used. And this comes from a PDQ fan! If you enjoy a great banana milkshake, then keep going. This is not the one! :-( read more

We came by on Friday afternoon and had the Grilled Turkey meal, grilled chicken meal, chicken cali meal and butter chicken meal. We really enjoyed all of the sandwiches and French fries. The zucchini fries were not good very greasy and limp, will not order again. Did think it was funny the cranberry sauce on the turkey sandwich was from a can, still had the rings on it from the can. Tasted good just just made us laugh. Will come back to try the salads. read more
