    We had to check out PDQ after hearing such good things about it considering we don't have one up North. My brother even said it is better than Chick-Fil-a believe it or not. We ordered the spicy chicken sandwich, the classic crispy sandwich and then also got a side of fries and a side of mac & cheese. We split everything so we could judge it all instead of buying everything individually and running up the bill. Overall, I loved it. The spicy chicken sandwich had such a good flavor and spice to it. The heat profile was nothing super crazy which made it very delicious to eat. The waffle fries are very good here too. It definitely gives off the vibes of it's chicken competitors but it seems the focus is more on the different kinds of chicken and spice levels. The interior is nicely themed and it makes it a great spot to sit, even though we got it for takeout. I really liked the whole overall experience for a fast food place. It's pretty great.

    This was my first visit to this location which happens to be the closest to where I live. I have driven by it frequently but we were actually in the area and it was lunch time so we stopped. There were four of us in our party and we ordered separately for dine in. The menu is actually a bit extensive considering they are mostly chicken. I have enjoyed several of the chicken selections and the past from other locations and knew that I would enjoy it. I ordered the Jacked Spicy Chicken sandwich with no tomato and a side salad. The sandwich was truly excellent with some real good heat to it. It was everything I expected. They charge $2.99 extra for the salad instead of the fries but it is a big salad. For the dressing I tried their lemon chili vinaigrette and that also had some really good heat. It was unexpected but welcome as I like it hot. You walk up and order at the counter and they take your name and will call you when your food is ready. The service was quick and everything looked exactly as expected. The dining area has plenty of tables and booths with really good lighting. They have Coca-Cola freestyle machines so you have a wide variety of drinks available along with a couple of selections of iced tea on the side. Personally I am a big fan of PDQ even though it feels a little pricey you definitely get a lot of food for what you pay. I hope to be able to come back frequently.

    First time at PDQ and I have to say we were impressed! Friendly customer service and the food came out fast. The chicken had flavor and wasn't dry, the waffle fries were also very good! It had a couple sauces - but the garlic one was also good!! This location is in a new area by Disney World, so good for them being on the early stages on development! Try them out! Of course we know who they compare to, but they are great in their own right!!

    PDQ has one of the best spicy chicken sandwiches around!! Great place for lunch!! Located in Flamingo Crossing next to several hotels, i highly recommend stopping at PDQ if you are visiting!

    Excellent! My 3rd visit to this location which is right across from the Disney College housing campus. Lunch time tends to be busier than dinner time. I'm a chicken sandwhich kinda guy so I've been able to try all the different ones, the favorite is really just the classic. The one thing I have to hands down recommend are the shakes! Get as many sauces as you like as they are free. I also enjoy and appreciate the hand washing station outside the restrooms, I feel like this encourages to wash our hands. Overall worth your visit, the whole area is lively with other places for night life after your chicken.

    Spicy Chicken 3 Spicy Tenders Meal

    PDQ is similar to Chicken Guy. I ordered the spicy tenders. I preferred PDQ's tenders to Chicken Guy's (they were more fresh and had more meat to them). However, there was not as many sauce selections. I also ordered the Oreo milkshake which was very good but not extremely memorable. The service was VERY fast - we received our food less than 5 min after placing our order. However, they did make a few mistakes with our order. Overall, a good fast food chicken place. For me, Chic-fil-A still outranks PDQ. But, this is a good alternative.

    This was my first time trying PDQ, and am so glad that I could try this brand new location in my area. I like the idea of focusing on doing one thing really well, and they did not let me down. Chicken- well seasoned, not too greasy, great temp. Solid 9! We tried some chicken tenders and the honey butter sandwich. The sandwich was a little too sweet for me. But it was well seasoned, cooked perfectly and the bun was great. Next time I will ask for the sauce on the side. Sauces- tried only 3; the PDQ, garlic, and Buffalo. The garlic and PDQ were really good. Hand washing station is so convenient so you can prepare to enjoy your meal, and clean up after your meal. Staff was friendly and location is spacious. This chain has their own unique taste which differs from Maggo's and Chic-Fil-A. Definitely worth a try!

The chicken is always fresh, tender, and cooked to a perfect golden crisp without being overly greasy. The Texas toast is evenly buttered and toasted, providing a warm and flavorful complement to the meal. The crinkle-cut fries are well-seasoned and prepared to the right texture. Most notably, Cane's Sauce stands out as a distinctive and well-balanced addition that enhances every component of the meal. Service is efficient and courteous, even during busy hours. The staff maintains a clean and organized environment, which contributes to an overall positive atmosphere. Raising Cane's demonstrates that a streamlined menu, when executed exceptionally well, can outperform more complicated concepts. It is a reliable choice for consistent quality and customer satisfaction. Highly recommended.

First time ever trying it since we don't have these back home--and wow. This place doesn't just serve chicken fingers... they serve life decisions you'll never regret. The menu? Simple. To the point. No "Do you want it grilled, wrapped, blackened, or turned into a burrito?" nonsense. It's: chicken fingers, fries, toast, slaw. Boom. My kinda place. The vibe inside was unexpectedly chill. "Love Again" by The Kid LAROI was playing, and I swear those chicken fingers hit different with background music that makes you question your teenage heartbreaks. Employees? Cool, calm, and friendly--like they already knew this chicken was about to change our lives. Now let's talk food. HOT HOT HOT chicken. Crispy outside, juicy inside. Fries? Golden perfection. And the slaw--listen, I'm a slaw kinda guy, and this was not your sad picnic slaw. This was slaw with confidence. That Cane's sauce? Let's just say I considered baptizing my fries in it. The place was spotless, the energy was welcoming, and honestly, if Cane's wants to expand to my hometown, I'll personally volunteer as tribute to cut the ribbon at the grand opening. Bottom line: Raising Cane's at 2AM is greater than life's problems.

The team member who took our order was friendly and welcoming. When our first batch of chicken came out, it seemed a little dry, like it had been sitting for a while. We mentioned it to her, and without hesitation she sincerely apologized and immediately had fresh chicken prepared for us. The difference was incredible! The freshly cooked chicken was hot, juicy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. My daughter also ordered a chicken bowl and couldn't stop talking about how much she enjoyed it. The restaurant was kind of slow when we arrived but the lobby dined up pretty fast. It was also pretty clean. What really stood out was how the staff handled the situation. Instead of making excuses, they made it right, and that made all the difference. Great customer service, delicious fresh food, and a wonderful experience overall. 10/10 I would definitely recommend Pollo Tropical and will gladly stop by again!

Excellent fried okra; real fries. We also like their ribs. AND they have good ice. The machine can be finicky but the customers like the ice, so they keep it running for us. I think that's pretty cool. And, again, they're local. Not some big chain. 4.5* this time since the turkey wasn't as great as usual. We'll be back!
