    Vanilla milkshake. Yes very good! Loved it!
    Jimmy T.

    This was our first time eating at PDQ. I got the 4 piece tenders with fries. Oh my gosh they were excellent! This is now one of my favorite places to eat. I also got a vanilla milkshake and it was excellent! My wife and I wish there was a PDQ close to us on the westside of Jacksonville! We definitely recommend PDQ! Service was fast and friendly. Restaurant was also very clean.

    Chicken tenders

    This my favorite location. Friendly staff and hot fresh food wins every time with me. Some may have with the noise level being a bit loud for a place to eat, but they still can be busy at times. Today was not out of the normal as far as good customer service, it was just a step higher and I so appreciated it! Thanks PDQ! See you soon!

    Best chicken sandwhich ever!!! This crispy critter is super wide when you pull it out, seasoned real good, and juicy on the inside
    Blake Z.

    By now, if you haven't been to a PDQ, STOP what you're doing and get over to this place! I've had PDQ since graduating from school, and they never fail to let me down. The ambiance is highly welcoming as the place is filled with bright colors, comfy seats, friendly workers, and don't forget the lavender hand sinks. Last Sunday, I ordered a 5 piece tender combo meal and 1 spicy chicken sandwhich combo meal. Moving on with my review, the food at this location was awesome! This was by far the best seasoned chicken sandwhich ever!!! This crispy critter is super wide when you pull it out, seasoned real good, and juicy on the inside. Never can go wrong with classic tenders and fries here either, as these were delicious too! Also want to mention they offer unlimited sauces which are all made in house. Overall, my experience was great, and you know I'll be back here - final verdict 5/5!

    Two years and ten sticky fingers later... I found myself back at PDQ chomping on one of their new Fall menu items: The Turkey Sandwich with a side of Zucc Fries and a Pumpkin Spice Shake. The fried Turkey Sandwich was delicious; the Zucc Fries greasiliousily-healthy; and the Pumpkin Spice Shake was even prettier -- I meant delicious -- than the image displayed. The drive-through was a bit confusing to navigate into with this being my first, third time back since two years ago. I wish there was a special sauce for the Zucc Fries.

    This place man what can I say. The experience alone rivals the other major chicken sandwich type place that is up the street. The service was fast and my 10 piece tenders came out piping hot. So hot the box started to wilt on my way home. If you want to sample the teas they allow it if you want to sample the sauces they allow it, its a place where you don't have any reservations or regrets in spending your money.

    Come on guys

    The kids meal amount is just ridiculous,it wasn't like that,Whats happened? same price ,and we got 5 fries and 2 skinny tenders.

    Spicy chicken tenders with waffle fries
    Ann S.

    This is a great place to visit for chicken. We got spicy chicken tenders and they were excellent! Seasoning was perfect, breading was just right, and the chicken was hot and juicy. The service was excellent and since this was our first time the gentleman took time to talk to use about sauces and made recommendations. We will definitely be back. I saw some earlier posts about cleanliness and I saw nothing wrong with the restaurants level of cleanliness.

    Kids meal

    I love PDQ. Restaurant staff was nice and helpful although the floor was sticky and made walking difficult. I was very impressed with how fresh and tasty the salad was and of course i love the kids meal.

    Grilled Chicken Sandwich with cheddar cheese and Waffle Fries
    Maya C.

    Believe it or not, I'd never had PDQ before and not because we didn't have enough chicken sandwich joints (Can you really have enough chicken sandwich joints around you though?). I just didn't see a need to check it out when I had my own trusty go-to place. But there comes a time when you must try something new and that was recently. I figured I give it a try since I was stuck at home and wanted to taste like I was my old, adventurous self again. I checked out my favorite delivery app and perused their menu. Hadn't had a Grilled Chicken Sandwich in a while so I chose that and added some cheddar cheese. I did like that it said "cheddar cheese" and not just "cheese" meaning American or something American-like. That's a plus already. No drink for me but I did add a side of waffle fries. Received the order in less than 30 mins and looked it over. The sandwich itself looked kinda small compared to other places but PDQ prides themselves in quality over quantity. If it's good then I guess it's fine and it turned out to be really good. The waffle fries were crispier than what I've previously had other places with a little more salt which was welcomed and the creamy garlic sauce condiment was cleaned out with them. That was so much better than regular ketchup. Definitely would like to try other items here. They seem pretty good.

    PDQ salad

    PDQ has a lot of nerve charging over $10 for this salad. Service is okay but they continually forget items even drinks cause they're trying to shove your food in your face and get you out of line.

    Wasted food
    Holly D.

    Food was SOOOO SPICY could eat the nuggets or salad! The chicken and sauce was too spicy! Not sure if they poured the spices in the ranch, chicken, and sauce but I would NOT let my child or my self eat the food! Waste of my money. Threw the food away!

    Queso Bowl (with a few bites taken, sorry, husband was starving)
    Kerry C.

    I love PDQ and after the wonderful time we had at the recent Yelp event there, I couldn't wait to go back with my husband. That says a lot, especially if you know me and know how much I detest that particular area of town. (LOL) I am stating up front that when I went to use my coupon for a free item that we received at the event, it was refused by the cashier and the manager who explained that we were getting our meal for free (!!!) and then were given coupons to pass on to our friends (which we did). Anyways, even if I had to pay for this meal, it would get the same review. I love PDQ - I said that before. I like their philosophy and I love their food. My Cali burger was perfect and I like that I now can get something healthier as a side (broccoli, so delicious). My husband had the Queso Bowl which he LOVED. He did give me one of those side eye looks when I told him he'd enjoy it, but as usual, I was right. I'm sure he'll try another next time. You can tell this particular place is new and that they are still training their employees. But the service is great and the food is wonderful and if you end up in this area of town and want a good quality fast food meal, I highly encourage you to come here.

    Tenders
    Matt C.

    The newest PDQ to grace the St. John's Town Center does it right! Having dined during opening weekend about four months ago, I thought it was time to check back in. Turns out, I ended up returning twice in one week because their menu was satisfying all my cravings! We all know and loved their famous tenders and sauces. Yes, these are PDQ classics for good reason, but I recommend expanding your horizons. There are lots of hidden gems throughout the menu eager to blow your mind. Two of those being the Queso Crunch Bowl and the Tomato Feta Salad. Chicken tenders topped with creamy queso on a bed of beans, rice and corn? Hell yeah, this is my new go-to post work out meal. The latter is surprisingly delicious, which touches all the flavor profiles you look for in a salad. Sweet, salty and tangy yumminess. Based on my experiences, most folks seem to utilize the drive-thru. Totally cool, but not my thing. At two opposite times of the day, I was one of the only customers dining in. The employees seemed more preoccupied with the drive-thru-ers, instead of us. I'm not asking for the red carpet, just a little more sense of urgency! PDQ has quickly become one of my favorite fast-casual chain restaurants. They do a really great job of store cleanliness and have many distinct characteristics at this location. The vast parking lot, covered outdoor seating, and great location add to the already charming ambiance. Yes indeed I'm a fan!

    Lots of great, fresh options!

I originally tried to place the order through their catering website, but it wouldn't allow me to enter individual names for each meal. Since I needed names on the orders, I placed it through the regular website instead. I placed the order on Monday for pickup Thursday morning. When I arrived, I mentioned that I was picking up a catering order, and the manager responded, "Girl, this isn't a catering order." I explained why I had to place it through the regular website. She then told me they hadn't put names on any of the meals either and had started numbering them according to the receipt but stopped. I was also told, with an attitude, that I needed to place a large order at least the day before instead of the day of. I explained that I had actually placed the order on Monday and wasn't sure why their system hadn't sent it to them until Thursday. The biggest issue was what happened afterward. Once I got to work, it took three of us almost an hour to figure out which meal belonged to whom because the different chicken salad meals are difficult to distinguish just by looking at them. I still love Chicken Salad Chick, but this experience was extremely frustrating and created a lot of unnecessary work. For that reason, I will not be ordering large quantities from this location again.
