    The service was great. The food was great as usual. The place was well maintain. Just be careful when you get your food. The food comes in a metal holder and will slide off the tray. We would come back again. Give it a try for yourself.

    Boba tea!

    THEY HAVE BOBA TEA!!!!!! Little things like this can make the experience for me. The boba wasn't AMAZING, but it was decent. The spicy chicken sandwich was wonderful and the chicken breast they gave me was HUGE!!! The fries were made to order, so right out of the fryer! Crispy and delicious! (Plus I like the design on the paper wrapping)

    Sauces

    PDQ is one of my favorite fast food places ever they have the best fries and their chicken tenders are so good I also really like the Buffy bleu sandwich and their shakes. They also have the best cookies ever. PDQ is a bit expensive but it's definitely worth it and they also have healthy options. One time at this location they forgot to give me a tender and they told me I could come back to get 3 more which was very nice. Also one of my other favorite thing about PDQ is they have the best sauces and they give you so many if you ask my favorite is the sweet siriacha and honey mustard oh also the zucchini fries are good honestly I've tried most of the menu and you can't go wrong. I got a $10 discount for my birthday which was really nice. They also recently added toast, which is nice, but the toast isn't that great in my opinion. Maybe also because the piece i got was burnt. Moving to 4 stars because they forgot my sauces last time I went

    Three crispy chicken strips with fries.

    I tried PDQ with a friend for a late Sunday afternoon lunch. I got the three crispy chicken strips with fries. For the price, this meal was nothing special. I was intrigued by the selection of signature sauces but ultimately none of them tasted that good. PDQ was good to try but in the world of chicken strips and crispy chicken sandwiches, it doesn't stand out.

    PDQ has been my most frequented restaurant the last several months because it's close to our office and offers tasty chicken sandwiches and salads with quick and friendly service. I remember one time when I went with my friends and they had our order ready before we finished getting our drinks!! My go to's are the honey butter chicken sandwich or Buffy Bleu. If you prefer more health options the crispy chicken salad and also Cali club are great options also. They also have the option for tater tots or fries that go great with their many sauces such as their sweet Sriracha or creamy garlic. The service is on par with chickfila if not better as many of the employees will remember your name. Would highly recommend this place and will be back for more!

    I absolutely love this place. We stopped by on a rainy day recently to grab a bite to eat. The outside and inside are always very clean and well maintained. I really like the wash sink that is not in the bathroom. I think it is great to be able to wash your hands before or after a meal without having to go to the bathroom. The employees taking the orders are pleasant and attentive. They carefully repeat the order to ensure accuracy. They bring your food to your table and ask again about sauces. Both of the kids got chicken tenders and fries. There is a good amount of food in the baskets. The kids can never finish all the fries. I got zucchini fries and they were delicious. The kids said the tenders were amazing. The homemade sauces really kick the food up a notch! My favorite is the ranch! Don't forget to try the milkshakes.. we had the chocolate shake and it did NOT disappoint. Perfect consistency to drink!

    Use to go here every now and then. Food is slightly pricey but usually pretty good and filling. Milkshakes tend to be on the thicker side. Cfa is surely better. Avoid going less than an hour before close. My tenders were cold and my fries were barley filling the container. Milkshake was clogged with uncrushed Oreo pieces. The manager said he would reach out but never delivered. I assume that was a outlier of an incident or they just don't fiction well around close time. Not a bad spot for the most part. But my loyalty will be with cfa. (Picture of fries straight out the bag. I promise bc I was on a phone call on the way home so didn't even munch on them.) Both items were cold mind you I live maybe 1.5 miles away.

    Four piece tender with honey mustard, creamy garlic, and Sriracha

    I pass this place everyday and never been able to try but today was finally the day and it DID NOT disappoint. I came at prime lunch time on a Wednesday and was expecting a long wait. Even though it was crowded, it was so quick to order food and it came out in less than five minutes. I went for the tenders because I heard they were great and they definitely are. They are well-seasoned, succulent, and a great size. They come in a basket with fries. The fries were very crunchy and I felt they could have added more for the price, but overall I loved them too. The plethora of sauces is what makes this restaurant stand out. They are all free and the three I tried I loved! You must try the creamy Sriracha and the creamy garlic. Magnificent!

    Following a visit to the sprawling UF campus, my wife and I decided to try out The Spot for lunch…read more Located in a building housing other eateries and with limited "free" parking, we parked in the parking structure in the same building. As it was summer break, a lot of the other businesses in the building were closed (Vietnamese and Italian restaurant as well as a boba place). The place looks like it was being run by a hardworking couple. We checked out the menu and my wife ordered the Gyro Platter and I ordered the Souvlaki Platter. We also ordered a couple of fountain drinks. The gyro meat was well seasoned and tender. The Greek salad was quite good. The chicken souvlaki, however, seemed to lack flavor and a bit dry. Portions were quite generous and the value was there. We actually packed our leftovers for some quesadillas later. If we do go back, I would order the gyro instead of the chicken souvlaki. NOTE: They don't validate parking which was $3 for an hour

    I hate to leave bad reviews, but I think want to be honest. I came to The Spot recently for lunch…read moreand was not happy with my experience. Located in midtown, this appears to a fast casual place that caters towards college students. They serve "Greek" street food, salads, quesadillas, burgers, and more. The food is relatively inexpensive. Service is fine, actually the people working there are friendly. Food is made to order and comes out quickly. There is some seating available inside (it's limited) but there are plenty of tables in the hall. I ordered the Street Chicken Souvlaki which included grilled chicken with tomato, onion, fries inside a pita, topped with ketchup and mustard. This was a very large portion. The pita was good, but pretty much fell apart the second I picked it up. While I liked the chicken, it was over seasoned and I didn't care for the "sauced" quality of it. I'm not sure if they marinated it or tossed it in some sauce, but it was too much. The fries were decent, but not super crispy. I felt that they were not necessarily and a little over-the-top. The tomato was fresh and but the red onion slices were very thick. The mustard and ketchup didn't work with the seasonings on the chicken. The dish was just all over the place and I couldn't even finish half of it before I started feeling sick. I ordered a side of onion rings as well. This was a large order and the size was great. But these onion rings were over-battered and were fresh, but not crispy at all. I bit into one and ended up pulling out the whole onion rings. Not good. Overall, I was very disappointed with my experience. The food was so heavy and overly salted I couldn't even eat half of it. I ended up giving it to a homeless person on the way out. The food left my stomach in shambles the rest of the day. Service is fine. But the food is not desirable. It is safe to say I will not be returning, which is unfortunate.

My friend and I met after we parked our bikes. She was sitting outside, and as I was locking my bike, less than a block away, she texted me. I just walked to her without responding, and with a smile and a hug, we walked in to look at the menu. The sandwiches have some very creative names that go along with their creative construction. I got a #10, which was a fusion of French dip and Philly cheese!! I wanna buy the person a beer, whoever thought of that one! Even though it was busy, we didn't wait long to order. Every sandwich comes in a paper bag, so you can take it out or stay and munch. We got a combo with chips and a drink, because how else do you eat a big sandwich like this?! There are board games to play, decor that is not typical and a big display of Guy Fieri, from the Food Network, that lets you know this place is on America's culinary map. After the sandwiches were done, I brought them out to my friend Kimberly, who was saving our table. We both were hungry, so out of the wrap and in with the teeth. Mine was full of flavor and the fact that all the sandwiches are heat-pressed, made the texture very satisfying. The au jus was thick and delicious and made me think someone took great time and effort to make it. It is a casual restaurant, great for a date or a group of friends, or a solo quick lunch, that can also be a dinner as well. The food is somewhat pricey, but it delivers as a good meal with a creative touch. They could have emptied the garbage can more quickly, as it was more than overflowing, when I went to throw the garbage away. Memorable food, and makes me want to come back to try at least two other sandwiches that I read about.

I ordered a veal spare rib meal with salad from the specials menu, my wife ordered the salmon sandwich. Both meals were fantastic and everything was very fresh. I would consider it to revile far fancier restaurants in terms of quality and presentation. If you are looking for a great place and don't mind sitting outside on a patio and busing your own table this is for you!

    Finally tried this awesome spot located in the 4th Ave Food Park! I had heard so much about this…read moreplace and it was even featured on Guy Fieri's "Diners, Drive-ins, & Dives". Their menu consists of some staple sandwiches, wraps, sausage dogs, and salads, along with daily specials. They also have a meat counter where you can buy a variety of very unique flavored/seasoned meats that are all made in house. The shop isn't super big and there is limited indoor seating. Although the food park offers plenty of coveted outdoor seating options. Service was great and pretty quick. The guy who took my order was helpful in answering my questions too. Everything is made fresh to order with higher quality ingredients. This is very evident in the taste of the sandwiches, they are truly next level! I ended up ordering a Muffuletta sandwich and a walking taco. Both of these were on the daily special menu. The muffuletta was loaded with ham, salami, mortadella, Swiss cheese, provolone, olives, Dijon aioli, lettuce, tomato, and onion on ciabatta. This sandwich was huge! The meat was super flavorful and you could really taste each one of them in each bite. I loved the ciabatta, especially because it wasn't too thick and didn't take away from the sandwich. The cheeses were mild melted perfectly on the sandwich. The fresh tomato's, lettuce, and onion complimented the other components nicely as well. I will say I wish the olives and aioli had been more prominent, as this is what truly makes a muffuletta of muffuletta. So I wouldn't really classify this as a traditional muffuletta sandwich and it reminded me more of an Italian sandwich. The walking taco included Fritos, chilli, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, banana peppers, and house-made ranch. I thought these were decent. This wasn't the most impressive thing, but it was still tasty. I wish there had been more meat in the chilli and the cheese was melted on top of the Fritos. The onions were simply chopped red onions and seemed too strong for the dish. While this was good, it isn't something I'd go out of the way to order. I would probably stick to the sandwiches and such as that is what truly shines here! Overall, I was more than impressed with this place. I love that it is located in the food park too! Ordering is easy and the service is welcoming. They offer a nice variety of deli options and there is something for everyone. You can taste the difference in the food here compared to other places. They use high quality ingredients and put a lot of passion into their work. I also love that they have fun switching up parts of the menu daily with unique options. While my muffuletta reminded me more of an Italian sando, it was still one of the best sandwiches I've had in the area by far. The sandwich was absolutely packed with meat and made the price completely justifiable. The bread was really fresh and not too thick, which I really appreciated. The walking taco was decent, but nothing to ride home about. If you are in the area and want a good sandwich, I HIGHLY recommend stopping by.
