We recently discovered this restaurant and are so glad we did. The service was amazing and the food was great. What really impressed me was a wash station that was right inside the entrance. No need to visit the restroom if all you need to do is wash up before your meal. My husband and I split the 5 Crispy Tenders and Fries meal. The tenders were huge and it was plenty of food for the two of us. Everything was perfect. We will be back. read more

Ordered a chicken sandwich and specifically asked for only spicy mayo, no regular mayo. They put regular mayo on it anyway. I went back and reordered, explained again, and they did the same thing. Had to ask a third time to get it right. Frustrating experience when you're clear about what you want. read more

Decided to stop by for a quick bite before heading to the airport! You order from the self service kiosk and then they call your name when the food is ready. It took some time as the food was cooked to order ... Overall, the chicken sandwich was okay. The fries were way too salty. Overall, it was okay. read more

Skip this location. We came here after a Sunday beach day. We came with 4 kids. The kids meals consisted of the usual 2 tenders but literally only 5 fries each. One child got 6 because hers were tiny. This meal was not worth the cost at all. They said that's usual but this isn't the usual in our town where we normally get pdq. read more

Well they redeemed themselves! I received a $10 birthday coupon, so we decided to give them another chance. The tenders were smaller but we're still delicious. Service was great and they did a good job of cleaning the tables after people left. Bath' soda now has a cream soda along with their root beer. Haven't had a cream soda in along time, it was pretty good. read more

2nd year coming back here and I can't believe I'm saying this, but the food is better than chick fil a and I'm all for chick fil a, like I don't eat any fast food other than chick fil a. The fries at PDQ are definitely better, perfectly crisp. All the sandwiches definitely have a bigger piece of chicken as well. We tried the Jacked spicy, Honey Chicken, and the crispy deluxe. This year, they brought back the Zucchini Fries and I'm so happy I got a chance to try them. So worth it! Service is quick, and I like that they have the Coca Cola freestyle machines so you have more fountain drink options. Outdoor seating always perfect for the summer. read more

PDQ is usually good. This location not so much due to poor employee selection. Service was awful and the food even worse.

Good food. Friendly staff. It's not my favorite thing in the world but some of my family members love it and I'm never opposed to eating here. I do like that they have a lot of options from sandwiches, salads, tenders/nuggets, etc. they don't just have a chicken sandwich or a salad but several options of each. They also have some unique things like zucchini fries. Overall a good spot, especially love the convenience of drive thru for working days. read more

Try their chicken fingers. These are the industrie's best. Be sure to ask for their special Sriracha Sauce with it. Service was FRIENDLY! read more

I took my little guy to this location for the first time yesterday. The staff was friendly and welcoming. They helped us understand the menu as we were first timers. The chicken tenders were some of the best we've ever had, and highly approved by a five-year-old. The fries were also awesome. They have several options for sauces, but I wasn't a fan of either of the two I tried (PDQ sauce and ranch). I'm more of a purist, and I felt like the sauces of scared the taste of the chicken. It is definitely a compliment that the chicken is so good that no sauce is needed! We loved our meal and we will be back. read more

In a recent visit, I bit into a chicken sandwich that seemed to have a spongey and strange texture. After taking another bite, I realized that the chicken was raw inside! I discarded the sandwich and told a staff member. I was provided with a new sandwich, which I could not eat after losing my appetite. Later that evening I began to have the classic symptoms of food poisoning. It took about a day to feel better. Generally, I like PDQ, but this experience has caused me to return to Chick fil-A. I reported this via the website a few weeks ago, but received no response. read more

The food is amazing! I wish they would give more sauce. The service is great they staff are so welcoming and nice and very helpful! The atmosphere is top tier and clean! read more

The food was great, and hands down the best most accommodating staff! Unfortunately our little boy was sick and threw up at the table. Staff insisted they will clean up and did everything they could to help us while we were there. They remained friendly the whole time. Great people and great place! read more

Love this place. The nashville hot tenders, and the honey butter chicken sandwich are soo good. Wish they didn't just increase their prices though. read more

Went on Mother's Day because they had a great offer. Our first time. The food is delicious. Hot and fresh. Nice clean spacious eating area. I'm from Chicago and friends told me about PDQ. The young man at the register Jacob was extremely polite and very professional, as well as the servers today. We are hooked on PDQ. Thank you! read more

This chicken is on point! So fresh! The chicken comes out at lightning speeds and the quality is phenomenal. I don't know how they do it! Their shakes on the other hand don't recommend. They're not bad if you're really in the mood for a shake but it's nowhere near the level of quality that the chicken is. read more

We stopped by for lunch and to our surprise - the food was amazing. Our meals appeared to be cooked to order and the chicken was tender and flavorful. Try the 4 Rivers BBQ Sandwich - your won't be disappointed. The tangy sauce on top of the crispy chicken - was the perfect meal for a hot summer day! read more

Visiting from Texas and wow what an amazing sandwich. Everything was fresh & flavorful. Michael is an excellent manager and treated my wife and I with the upmost respect. I will be back! read more

It has been a while since I was south on 41, and I am glad we stopped at PDQ for the new fall menu. Only complaint is the drive thru was super slow, but I guess that's the price you pay for fresh to order fast food! read more

Ay bruh fuc* that ni**a Richard The food good ash tho The milk shakes kinda mid tho for the price read more

Solid fast food. Seems higher quality. Fries are good so are tender. Not Chic Fila but good enough.

PDQ started out with an expansive menu that included lots of healthy bowls, turkey sandwiches that reminded you of thanksgiving, different fries, tatchos (loaded tots) and zucchini fries. All of the amazing things have been slowly but surely eliminated as this brand attempts to tremendously take off in a direction similar to chick fil a. In fact, their menu is chick fil a, down to the waffle fries. It's not bad food. If you're looking for chick fil a without the super pleasurable service, accept no substitute. read more

The service leaves a little to be desired at times but the food is solid and for that reason I've come back! Love the tenders and various dipping sauces and can't go wrong with a coke freestyle machine! (Diet strawberry Fanta thank me later!) read more

Have gone back time and time again and it never disappoints! While prices might be a little steep in comparison to other places, PDQ is definitely still worth a try. read more

PDQ Chicken - Buffy Bleu Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

A good lunch stop I made a quick stop for lunch today. My order taker was way cheerful and certainly brightened my visit. They offered a new sandwich, a 4 River Smokehouse Sandwich, which looked very good in the advertising photos, so I gave it a try. By the time I managed to get my drink, my food was ready. The sandwich was very good. It had a large piece of chicken, quite thick at one end, and a sweet sauce. The thin cut fries were excellent. Aside from one spot kind of blocked off, the restaurant was clean and appeared to be well maintained. They have a drive thru and while there was no line to order at the counter, the place was a little busy. For those Pokemon inclined, there is a Pokemon gym at the restaurant, so you can battle away as you enjoy some good food. read more

Got the spicy chicken sandwich meal. I would take the chicken sandwich at Chick-fil-A or Popeyes any day. Worth one try. Too expensive. read more

I went through the drive through on my way from work. When I got home I unwrapped the sandwich and happened to set it down upside down. There was mold on several parts of the bottom bun. They did issue a refund but I would hope they would be more cautious with the quality of their food. read more

I've driven by this place for years and always wanted to stop in and finally I did -- and it was worth the trip. I now understand that their specialty is chicken tenders -- and the menu had quite a variety of choices. I was looking for a bit healthier so I ordered a chicken caesar salad -- and the chic on the salad was delish! Along with a diet coke it was under $10. If I was on the Tamiami trail shopping again, i would stop here -- before the Sweet Tomatoes or even perhaps as an alternative to the soup and salad at Olive Garden (both nearby). I'd also say the place must be good as there was a table of nurses, a table of 6 Sarasota County sherrifs, and an ambulance crew. I felt pretty safe and thought having them all there was a pretty good endorsement. Give it a try! read more

I have never been to a PDQ I heard good things about it so I went and tried it and the chicken was really good and the flavor of the spices was really good and the fries was really good too I could not stop eating them. read more

Always hits the spot! I'm never disappointed in the service or food here. Chicken tenders are always the way to go and the honey mustard is my go to sauce. I do wish there were more side options but what can you do? Will continue to be a customer here as long as I live in Florida. read more

PDQ is always good for a quick meal and doesn't hurt you like other fast food. It is very fast, and they have lots of healthy choices there as well as the fried. read more

I randomly searched for quick bites by the beach and PDQ did not disappoint! It is a very nice fast food restaurant that serves chicken. I had the grilled chicken salad with zucchini fries and my boyfriend had nuggets and a chicken sandwich with regular fries. Everything was delicious! The chicken was very tender and juicy and I loved the blueberry-ginger dressing on my salad. Also, I am a sauce aficionado and PDQ has an assortment of homemade sauces and they were awesome. I personally think that Chick-Fil-A is a tad better but PDQ was great and about a 15 minute drive from the beach. read more

Always enjoy the ice cream and food at Culver's! Their custard is wonderful. But for this yelp review, I wanted to mention Ethan who works at this store. In a world of bad service, overworked employees, and all the shortages, Ethan offered a smile and good humor along with his hard work and good customer service. I wish every restaurant I visited had an Ethan. He made our day. Thank you Culver's for a nice dining experience! read more

Shakes happy half off 3-5pm. No Microwave. No Freezers. Guarantee this is the freshest fast food chicken you will eat. The fries are tasty but can be soggy from the to go package The Buffalo-Bleu Cheese sauce is delicious and the shakes are fabulous too. The service is excellent and the place is spotless if you decide to dine in. Nice family spot, teen spot, or during the day, professional dining. read more

The food was good but the dark haired man behind the bar at lunchtime today 2/21/22 was lousy. I hope he's the owner or he wouldn't be keeping his job- disinterested, did not smile once. I hope he isn't in some sort of life crisis, but if he is, he needs to clock out and go take care of it. The dark haired young lady was very polite, smiled and showed an interest in my dining experience. read more

I had the Jacked Spicy Chicken Sandwich with the waffle fries. The chicken had more flavor and the fries were crispier than chick fil a. The indoor and outdoor dining areas were comfortable and nice. Would go again. read more
