    Not cool!  I feel as if I wasted 30 something dollars on food that wasn't even a bit warm.
    Shernea D.

    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.

    Spicy chicken sandwich and Parmesan broccoli
    Kerry C.

    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.

    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.

    a basket of french fries
    Christine N.

    I went to PDQ for lunch and was surprised how busy it was at 1:00pm. I got the chicken sandwich and waffle fries. The chicken is always juicy and the garlic sauce they have is delicious to add. The waffle fries are crispy and cooked well!

    Food arrived Pretty Darn Quick! The place is clean, employees are friendly and the food is yummy. Well lit, theres booths, tables and high top seating as well as outside seating. This is my third or fourth time here and Im never disappointed. The chicken is delicious whether its grilled or fried, the sandwiches Ive had on previous visits have been very tasty but I usually get a salad. Fries are good too, however Ive never had a shake or any drink other a fountain drink. PDQ salad $8.49 Fountain drink $1.99 Will be back again :)

    The Cali Club Sandwich
    Karen V.

    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.

    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

    This is all that was left by the time I decided my experience was review worthy. So good.
    Jeannette F.

    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.

    Chicken was soggy not crispy nor did it taste fresh as advertised. I asked for 2 of every sauce I got 1 of 3. This was also a drive thru order .. food should of been fresh. Very disappointed

    Crispy chicken sandwich
    Yelena R.

    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!

    Small shake!

    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!

We didn't wait long before our food was delivered to our table. We got two kids meals and also a chicken sandwich and fries. Everything was tasting fine up until my chicken sandwich had a mushy spot in the middle. The texture and color was completely off compared to the rest of the sandwich and made us concerned. I brought it back up to the front to let them know to see if anyone else had that problem and if we could switch it for something else. The manage ignored my concern about the texture of the meat but said we ate too much of the sandwich and couldn't do anything about it. Which is fine but I believe the quality of the food should have been taken seriously.
