    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
    Elaine M.

    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.

I believe this location may be cursed. pollo Tropical had a great product at greta pricing, but they couldn't manage staff well. This building is a redesigned Pollo Tropical. The decor is trendy and utilitarian and the space was clean. Employees were friendly and professional. Our food was ready on time and was hot. the French fries were crispy and very heavily seasoned. The real travesty here is the chicken. Form the very first bite I had a mouth of dry spices, with the gritty texture to go alone with it. The taste of cumin is so overwhelming that it is making me gag and I use cumin regularly in cooking. I don't get it. Quite literally the worst chicken I have ever had. Like eating chicken that someone dropped in the garden and just shook off. Truly awful. Sorry, Dave's, but what we got was a joke right? I just wanted to add that I did try to reach out to Dave's. If you call the restaurant, it won't let you talk to anyone there and instead you get a message that recommends sending a message through their website. So that's what I did. Days later, and I still have no response from the incompetent leadership at Dave's Hot Chicken. I would very much like to speak to someone that is either an area or corporate leader. How do I reach them since I'm having to file a Better Business Bureau complaint and a chargeback with my credit card just from this experience where apparently you don't give a damn about your customers. Congratulations on the cursed location. Out of all the bad experiences we had at Pollo Tropical, none were this bad and clearly this location is operating without any training or leadership.

You basically order from the self serve kiosks and they bring your food out. We had two drinks, wings, and the original bibimbap. Prices were a little on the pricier side. They also had drinks and dessert options too. Cloud matcha: 7/10 - pretty good matcha latte with a layer of coconut cold foam. It was good but a little light on the matcha flavor. Mango jasmine tea with mango jelly stars: 7/10 - Mango flavor was there and you can taste the jasmine tea as well. The mango jelly stars were a nice texture and the flavor was faint. Fried wings (6 piece) in their yangnum flavor. It was like a sweet and spicy sauce: 6.5/10 - I loved how crispy the wings were but there was not enough sauce. Some of the pieces weren't as coated and it's a shame because that sauce was delicious! It came with a side of radish upon request and the radishes were cut into messy pieces. We came on a Wednesday and there was supposed to be $1 6 piece wings special but we were charged for the full price of the wings instead. Wings were good but we've had better to be honest. Original bibimbap: 7/10 - The bowl comes with rice, beef bulgogi, carrots, spinach, bean sprouts, shiitake mushrooms, cucumber, bibimbox sauce, and fried egg. The flavor of the beef was pretty good and the veggies were fresh. My husband seem to enjoy it very much and finished it. Overall, it was okay. Not the best Korean food we've had, more like a quick grab and go if you're in the area. Customer service was quick and pretty good though.
