    PDQ storefront

    Did you know every first Mondays of the month PDQ gives back to Military families. Those with a military ID get 50% off their bill. Thank you PDQ for this!!! It is appreciated so much! PQD is always so delicious! Their spicy tenders are my favorite with creamy garlic and sweet sriracha! Lately, I'm obsessed with their garlic buffalo tenders! Omg, flavor explosion... so good! PDQ always has excellent customer service and the ambiance is great. They have a few tv's around that usually play sports, so that's a plus for us! Pdq is usually our go-to at Raymond James Stadium and Amalie Arena!!

    Solid meal. Saw this place on the way to visit family and was curious about it, so I pulled up Yelp, took a look and decided to try it. The space is open and huge inside. The menu reminds me of a combination of Chick Fil A and Canes in 1. I went with the Chicken Sandwich Meal, no mayo and add Pepperjack. I thought the chicken was tasty and seasoned well. I enjoyed that it had some crispness to it, even though it could have been a bit warmer. The Fries were cooked well, but a tad overseasoned. 1/2 Cut Tea for the drink, bit it was still a little on the sweet side. Feels like this place needs a few adjustments, but in general, not a bad meal at all.

    This is the worse salad I've ever got for PDQ. Not sure if they are cutting back or what.

    Not sure what's going on with their salads but the one I got was not hood at all. Very poor and small portions and the chicken was cold and chewy. Certainly not the quality you expect from a location where people deserve quality.

    5 Piece Tenders with a side of fries

    I ordered a 5 Piece Tenders with a side of fries. They have a variety of sauces. I chose the Creamy Garlic. The chicken was tender and juicy and the creamy garlic sauce was the bomb! The associate who waited on me was very polite and accommodating. The restaurant was very clean and organized. This was the first time I tried a PDQ. It reminds me of Canes when I lived in Texas for a bit. I will definitely be back.

    Family meal 12 Tenders $24.99
    Dee R.

    PDQ has a family special right now and a Bogo tender option. I bought the 12 tenders, two sides and a salad meal for $24.99. They let me get 6 grilled and 6 breaded tenders with sauces, they were out of garlic. The broccoli was great, but not mushy and well seasoned, the fries were not hot though and I through most of them away. The salad large enough for my daughter and I to share. The Chicken here has a great flavor so we were happy and we definately got our monies worth.

But I have to say, this Lutz location is by far the best one we've visited, and that's all thanks to Corey. Seriously, that's how you run a fast-food restaurant. I've never experienced service this good at a fast-food establishment before. Corey went above and beyond, not just for us, but for everyone in the restaurant. He was constantly checking on guests, making sure everyone was satisfied, and creating such a welcoming atmosphere. Him and the rest of the staff were incredibly friendly and genuinely seemed to care about the customer experience. The amazing service aside, we absolutely love the food here. The chicken tenders are fantastic, and you can tell the breading is made fresh and with quality ingredients. The mac and cheese was unbelievable too. It wasn't the hottest when it arrived, but honestly, the flavour was so good that I didn't even care. The sauces are always a huge highlight at Chicken Guy! as well. They have some of the best dipping sauces in the fast-food world, and it's always fun trying different combinations. Those Egg Rolls were fantastic too! Very unique. As an added bonus, Corey was kind enough to give my dad and me samples of a couple milkshakes, and they were fantastic too. We genuinely can't say enough good things about Corey and this location. Between the incredible customer service, delicious food, and welcoming atmosphere, this was easily the best fast-food experience we've ever had, and I'm not just saying that. Easy 5 stars.

    I'm genuinely surprised to see such ratings for Indi's Chicken. I went in expecting a simple,…read moreno-frills spot serving good old-fashioned fried chicken and classic sides. That sounded great to me. Unfortunately, the food, portions, and pricing were all disappointing. A three-piece chicken meal with two sides runs around $13-$14, and the pieces are small. Two of my three pieces were very small drumsticks. The meal doesn't include a drink, and if you just want water, you have to buy a bottle. The sides also come in very small portions. I ordered the 3 piece spicy chicken with baked beans and potato wedges. The seasoning on the chicken had a decent flavor, but it wasn't spicy at all. The bigger issue was that the chicken was extremely dry. The larger piece of fried chicken was especially bad, there was barely any meat in it. Most of it was over-fried, hardened breading surrounding a lot of empty space. I kept biting into thick, crunchy breading and air while trying to find actual chicken. The baked beans were fine but nothing notable. I did like the potato wedges, which were probably the best part of the meal. You get three as a side, but they are at least fairly large. There are also several extra costs that add up. Sauces are sold separately, the meal doesn't include a drink, and there's an additional 3% charge if you don't pay with cash. All in all, I really don't understand the high ratings. You can get better fried chicken at plenty of fast-food restaurants, or even from Walmart or Publix, for less money, with larger portions and more options. Even if you're specifically looking for a no-frills local chicken spot, this doesn't feel like a good value. You pay more, get less, and, based on my visit, the quality isn't there. I definitely wouldn't recommend it.

You don't have to pick through the bones if you don't want to like with a normal chicken breast... The owner is very nice, and his restaurant is a welcome addition and change from the normal fast food franchises that you find on Gulf to Bay boulevard...

    Great local business if you love hot chicken…read more I've been wanting to try this place out for ages, but it's so specific (only chicken!) that I usually cannot convince my family to go. But today, I decided to do a Costco run and forego their food court, and try out Crossroad Hot Chicken by myself. I ordered online before heading over. Super easy. Food was ready 5 minutes before I got there and packed up well. I got the 3 piece chicken tenders, x-hot, with a side of the greens. The tenders were more like half a chicken breast each. Huge. Very succulent chicken, not dry at all. They were crispy and very spicy. I'm part Thai. After a few bites, I was wishing that I had ordered the mac and cheese instead to help offset the spice, but I persevered. The greens were good, very smoky tasting, but they were overwhelmed by the spicy chicken, so I only recommend them if you get the mild or medium chicken. Really nice staff at the restaurant. While I got my food to go, the sitting area seemed nice and comfortable for a casual meal.

    I don't know who is running this place or made the recipes but they deserve a shiny gold star…read more Stopped by here with my girlfriend and friends while vacationing here from Virginia. We got the tenders with hot seasoning, chicken sandwich with medium spice, wedge basket with mild, Mac and cheese, and baked beans. Every single item was made with love and seasoned perfectly and delicious. The chicken was beyond crispy and maintained the same crispiness level for over 30 minutes. Top 2 chicken places we've ever been to. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere and Vincent was great to talk with and super nice. Would we go back here while on vacation? Yes, I'd probably catch a flight down here for that alone.

I've passed by it so many times over the years. But it wasn't until recently that I decided to try it after seeing many reviews from Yelp friends at other locations. I don't really know much about this location. All I know is that they are closed on Sundays. I attempted to go there twice in 2 days. That's my bad for not checking the hours of operation. Anyway, I walked in on a Monday to fresh chicken and honey biscuits. Their online menu appears to have more items than what they have on a given day. Be mindful of that when ordering online. I'm glad I visited in person just to see what was available. It was an easy decision. I selected the 2 piece white meat (breast and a wing) chicken that comes with a honey biscuit. They put both of our orders in one box. It was still hot when I got home. The breast meat was actually the best part. It was juicy and tender inside, with a mild taste of Cajun marinade. The outer breading on the skin was crispy and crunchy. There was no kick of spice (like Popeyes), but it was still very tasty with whatever blend of seasonings that they use. They may have spicier options. I didn't really ask. My husband said that the Publix chicken is better. Maybe it is, but I'm actually sick of eating Publix chicken and needed a change of pace. The breading and the spices are different enough from other fast food chains. This was a welcomed change. So much so, that I will be going back for more. If anything, I'll go back for the biscuits. They were also kind of crunchy, but not in a dry way. I can't explain it. I love that I could taste the butter with the sweet honey glaze. Hey, it was different! I'm also hoping to try the blueberry biscuits the next time they have them available. I see that they also have fried shrimp and chicken tenders. I'll update the review once I try more items. I'm actually happy that there is a location nearby. It gives me more options for fried chicken. It's in a Food Mart that also appears to be clean, and the service was quick. I'm not sure why I didn't try it sooner.

Most places don't do pre seasoning. That chicken tasted like they season them the day before n then fry em the next day. I had a bad experience in the new churches chicken in plant city. That chicken was so bland! I'm not to familiar with the brand but i say Krispy Krunchy chicken will have these old timer brands running for their money.

I went there today to pick up an order I placed through Uber Eats. Usually, when you pick up an Uber Eats order yourself, they don't require a verification code. However, when I went to the front and gave my name to the cashier, she asked if I had proof of the order. I told her no, as I had ordered on my computer and didn't have a code. She insisted she needed verification. My phone wasn't working at the moment, which I don't blame her for, but the way she handled the situation was incredibly frustrating. I waited 20 minutes before I actually got my food. The cashier stood there talking on her phone, claiming she needed to ask her manager, but she never actually did. I didn't hear her explain the situation or ask anyone for help. Instead, she just stayed on her phone and eventually slid the food over to me. There was no apology for the wait, no "here you go," and no "have a nice day." She just slid it over with a smile while still chatting on her phone. It felt like she was purposely inconveniencing me. As soon as I mentioned that I had my ID to prove who I was, it was suddenly no issue, and she handed it over without ever checking with a manager. Very disappointing experience. While the food itself still tastes good, it is simply no longer worth the money or the poor treatment. I never expected over the top, bubbly customer service, the staff that used to work here would just get the job done without the fake enthusiasm, and that was perfectly fine. But there is a massive difference between a worker just trying to get through their shift and one who actively goes out of their way to keep you waiting while talking on the phone. Between the disrespectful service and the shrinking portions, this place just isn't what it used to be.
