Hair? Clothes fiber? And a fly

So I was excited to try PDQ. I opened the bag though when I got home and there was a fly. Not a huge deal. It wasn't IN the food. So I started eating my nuggets. Tasted great. The korean bbq sauce was delicious. Until I started finding little white hairs in my food. Cat hair? Or clothes fiber? Gross no thanks. So unfortunately I tossed the food. I don't think I'll be back at that location. Maybe another one will be better I hope? Soured my first experience. I might just stick to chick fil a or raising canes otherwise.

Pimento crunch
Vanessa T.

Tried the fall special - two layers of fried turkey with cranberry sauce on a bun - and wow! You've got to get this because the breading has lots of stuffing-esque spices. The pimento crunch was also delicious. It's got pimento cheese, of course, plus bacon and chips IN the sandwich. The tenders are a great move here and they've got tons of sauces to choose from. Finally, i love that they have a sink near the counter to wash your hands, the staff is incredibly friendly and they have Coke Freestyle machines! The shakes are extra thick! A+++ I personally find it way better than Chickfila because of all the options!

My salad
Cheryl P.

While visiting family in Pinellas County we decided to stop in and grab a bite to eat. We have seen PDQ restaurants in various places and were curious as to what they were all about. First, the initials PDQ stand for People Dedicated to Quality. It serves various dishes of chicken tenders. I consider it an upscale fast food establishment. They have a large menu in the wall to make your meal choices from then you go up to their counter and place your order. In front of the counter is various bottled drinks but they also have a drink station with sodas and teas. They even offer a flavored green tea. Near the drink station is a hand washing area which I think is a great idea! The server then brings your food to your table after you get your drinks. They identify you by the the number we were handed after placing our order at the counter. In our party of four I was the only oddball to order a salad. Everyone else choose their chicken strip meal which was fried. Portions were large and everyone said their chicken strips were very tasty and moist. Sides are a la carte. I had their Mediterranean Salad which consisted of grilled chicken strips, mixed greens, cucumbers, tomatoes, kalamata olives, pepperoncini peppers, feta cheese and a scoop of hummus. It was served with a lemon chile vinaigrette. I have to say I was impressed. It was delicious! Everything was fresh, the hummus had a good flavor- it was a nice twist to the salad. I loved the dressing it really complimented the salad well. My hubby and I ordered sides of zucchini fries. They were very tasty and they gave a a dipping sauce of our choice. I chose a sweet sriracha sauce and I thought it went well with the fries. Hubby had a ranch dip and he was very pleased with the flavor. We tried the flavored green tea with blueberry. It was a very nice change of the usual choices of sodas or plain tea with lemon. All in all it was a very good dining experience. I loved the menu choices, the drink station and hand washing station. The service was good, they were pleasant and answered our questions with patience because we were newbies. Our food was brought out promptly - hot food was hot and my salad was nice and chilled but my tenders warm. We will definitely go back and try some other locations closer to us. Unfortunately, we do not have any PDQ restaurants in our county but I'm willing to travel for that salad again!

Spicy chicken sandwich and waffle fries
Cristen S.

Great chicken chain on par with Chick fil that uses hormone free chicken. Their spicy chicken sandwich was great with a handbreaded, golden brown crust with spices in the breading ae well as a spicy, made-fresh-in-store sauce to top it off. The moist and tender chicken looked and tasted like real chicken breast and not some pounded or pressed chicken pieces that only slightly resembles chicken. The sandwich was on a nicely grilled bun and topped with butter leaf lettuce and a couple of pickle slices. Their hand-cut waffle fries were nicely fried and simply seasoned. The only negative would be that the size of sandwich is a tad small. Would like to see this chain expand West as they are right up there with Popeyes and Chick-fil-a and have surpassed the Colonel (KFC).

Jollibee - The crispy spicy chicken with the gravy sauce is to die for!

Jollibee

Definitely a bit overstimulating, but that has nothing to do with the workers or food or business…read moreitself. The interior and seating is a bit small considering how family-friendly this establishment is. As for the food, this is the most decision and crispy fried chicken to be served in a fast paced environment! The gravy is well seasoned that they serve it all with and the other sides are amazing! We had the sweetest host who walked the dinging floor and she was VERY attentive during our time here! I just wish it was bigger !

We had such high hopes, but everything was below mid. It's cheap dark meat, fatty cuts that are…read moreexpensive and not tasty. My hubby says that Jollibee is "Glorified Gas Station Chicken." We were so excited but after spending over $50 on 5 pieces of chicken, a yum burger, side spaghetti, palabok, fries and a coconut icy.... We felt it was pretty pricy for 2 adults and 2 kids. The service, was fast food centric and of course they messed up the order and forgot the icy. Oh well. My chicken was passable (I got spicy) but the regular chicken was gross and the guys refused to finish it. The yum burger tastes ultra processed (but still a step up from Whitecastle), the spaghetti was interesting with a banana sweetened ketchup sauce overtop that was slightly unique. The palabok was the most interesting, but somehow also tasted fast foodish and not "fresh". Jollibee's must taste better in other countries? This is our second time trying and every time we leave poorer, disappointed, and with a slight stomachache. Def felt less "jolly" after eating here. No thank you.
