3/12/2026 Ate list: Chicken Sandwich - 7.5 Nashville Chicken Sandwich - 6 Fries - 6.5 Friendly staff. Nice location. As a competitor to other "chicken foxused" fast food options, it's pretty darn great. Could see preferring certain parts of this. Fairly even battle. But pretty good! read more

at first look the food looked delicious , but biting into it was the opposite, the chicken was so tough and DRY over cooked beyond belief it was awful. Even the fries tasted dry and like they'd been sitting out for days. So sad :( we were excited to try somewhere new, we are big fans of SuperChix, Chick fil a , popeyes.... read more

PDQ - spicy Grilled Chicken Sandwich Meal - Sandwiches Near Me - The Villages, Florida

Best chicken tenders in The Villages - better than Huey Magoo or any other stop - great value for the quality

When I asked my parents what PDQ meant, my father replied, "Pretty D@$& Quick!" When I walked in for the first time, I saw above the cashier's station People Dedicated to Quality. They have never disappointed me. read more

The food at this chain is always good. Its chicken sandwiches are great. I had a salad which was crisp, cold had lots of fun stuff to nibble. I found the restaurant clean and efficient. Our food was hot and came out fast. Kudos for doing things right. I find that so many places don't. PDQ is on our list of approved eating spots. read more

PDQ - Walk up counter. - Sandwiches Near Me - The Villages, Florida

Best sauces ever and their waffles fries are great. Subtracting a star for having to charge for sauces but still great otherwise

The food was great and hot. I ordered the food and before I filled my drink it was ready. My wife and I enjoyed it very much. The place is very clean and maintained. Just be careful when you get your food. The food is in a metal container and will slide off the tray if you are not careful. We will come back again. Give it a try for yourself. read more

Got 2 5 tenders to go and found them wet and soggy ... had to put them under the broiler in high for 3 minutes to crisp them up ...

If you want fast food on the go I had chicken over salad it was good we stopped after golf It's just like other fast food chains read more

Never tried PDQ until recently! This location is clean and offers indoor as well as outdoor seating. My husband really likes the Honey Butter Chicken Sandwich. I tried the spicy chicken sandwich that had good flavor and wasn't too spicy. The waffle fries are very good and crispy! Each combo is less than $7. You definitely want to try their milkshakes! The peanut butter one is soo good! The restaurant has good music playing and the food is served fast! My only critique would be their tea at this location. The sweet tea was not sweet at all. I don't know if they forgot to add the sugar or if the person making it didn't know how much sugar to add. Otherwise a pleasant dining experience. read more

PDQ - Spicy Chicken Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - The Villages, Florida

I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich, side salad and a drink. The food was very good. With tax, $15.60. It's too expensive for a simple lunch. read more

We've been driving from Orlando for several years to get our PDQ fix. My wife had their Mediterranean salad, which was excellent! I had waffle fries, fried chicken breast with tomato, and a Lettice sandwich. As I bit into the chicken meat, I knew it was different, it wanted to stop me from biting into it. It was chewier and had less of a chicken flavor. Even looking at the meat you could see small layers of material. I asked if it was imitation meat, but they weren't sure. Though gave me a free fried chicken strip sandwich to replace it. I took what was left of the imitation meat home to see if my dog would happily eat it. Unfortunately, she turned her nose up from it. read more

4 stars on Yelp does not surprise me as the people here in the Villages love their monuments to mediocrity when it comes to food. I live about 5 minutes from Colony and decided to try this place for the first time as I was craving a decent chicken sandwich. Rolled up to the drive through window, asked for swiss cheese and got a NOPE. We only have cheddar and pepper jack... So we don't have the best cheese option for a chicken sandwich (swiss) and too bad for you. Cancelled order and drove away wondering if owners of this place went to clown college. THANKS FOR NOTHING AND BYE read more

Good food, just not like homemade Was disappointed to see on my receipt that a chicken tender meal to substitute an iced tea, was. $2.69 upcharge, with no credit for the soft drink. For two of us nearly $29.00. Yikes. Maddie was a delight! read more

Amazing! Food never disappoints! My kiddos are picky chicken people and they love PDQ. Super friendly staff. We haven't gone in there and haven't seen a smiling face. read more

Things have changed in the last year. Management, employees, food. Tried 3 times in last 6 months and all were failures. Tastes like grease is not fresh. The waffles fry nachos were just gross and served in a big greasy pile of liquid cheese I presume? read more

Update: Tiny pieces of waffle fries with even tinier chicken nuggets. I did not complain. Sauces I had requested were missing from the tray. Again, I did not complain, just returned to the counter to politely request them. I knew the place was busy and mistakes happen. In return, the staff member threw the sauces onto my tray and called me a "b***h" even though I had done nothing to her. Totally unacceptable. read more

My chicken fingers and zucchini fries were hot and fresh. My only disappointment was they did not have the fresh unsweetened black berry tea I had gotten at other PDQs. read more

Friendly employees, great food, accurate orders, clean tables/counters/drink fountains/etc! Just be aware that they are frequently busy on specific days and times (service is still fast), but seating can be hard to find (I think that's kind of a compliment to how good the place is though) read more

Chicken strips were very good, and the milk shakes are awesome. The staff was very friendly. I will definitely go back

service was 10/10 and i went every day when i was on vacation! i wish they had a PDQ in st louis missouri

Stood for 20 minutes for on line order. Finally, I asked if they got my order. The manager, Jessica, said that I didn't ask for it. It was stashed on a shelf behind the cashier. I guess out of sight, out of mine. No one called my name or asked me what I needed....and by this time I was the only one standing at the pick up area. Poor customer service. read more

MGR not a good fit for problem solving. IHad reserved their bogo 12 get 12 super bowl ad. Ordered online. Went to pick up and they didn't have my order. Since it wasn't prepaid. The order process didn't offer me that option and how was I supposed to know that was the case. The process did give me a pick up scan code which I showed MGR. but that wasn't what I needed. I wasn't on his list " so no strips for you". He offered to sell me 48 strips at full price. What a guy! So with people at home waiting I did a really smart thing. Drove across parking lot to PUBLIX and the were glad to sell me my chicken strips for 33.00. And they were fresh and hot!!! Will not go back to PDQ or recommend. APP OFF!!! read more

Why 5 stars? Because I ordered the chicken finger basket and it was amazing as always! They are hands down my favorite chicken fingers ever! I have to point out how nice the employees are too. Good job PDQ! read more

Like all PDQs, expect to be in delicious chicken heaven. They have the most succulent and freshest chicken tenders known to humanity. Well, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but it is some of the best chicken I have ever eaten. Don't forget, you have to take into account that this place is actually a "fast food" joint - but unlike any other. The first thing you'll notice when walking in, is its cleanliness. Unlike any other fast food restaurants, this place is immaculate. The tables, chairs, booths, and condiment station are all well maintained. They even have a cool hand washing station (standard in all PDQs) in the dining area for kids and adults alike - hygiene is important after all. You order at the counter and wait for your name to be called over the PA. THE FOOD: I don't think I have ever had anything that I didn't like at PDQ. I'm not even a fan of salad, and they even make that look tasty to me. The chicken sandwiches are also super tasty, and you can expect the same great quality chicken as their chicken tenders. My favorite thing to order is definitely the 5 piece chicken tender meal which also comes with fries and a drink. It's an awesome deal, plus you get to choose from a variety of dipping sauces. All their sauces are unique so I recommend trying a few and finding one you like. They don't charge or even give you a stink eye if you ask for any additional sauces. Truly a place where there are People Dedicated to Quality (PDQ). I can't wait to repeat. read more

Great salad, more chicken than I could finish.clean and fast service! The prices were good.

Turkey sandwiches were the best! Salad was crisp,clean and delicious. Waffle fries were yummy with the question. Delivery was prompt.

New food establishment which is clean inside and out. This place clearly takes pride in its facility as well as the packaging for TOGO orders. Everyone knows that when you get a TOGO order that is piping hot, somewhere along the drive home, the meat steams the buns and then you have soggy buns covering meat, not to mention limp French fries. PDQ thought about that--There are 8 holes in its sandwich box to vent the steam so it helps to keep soggy buns away. The Cali Club with its grilled chicken on a brioche bun topped with creamy avocado and crispy bacon and garden fresh lettuce and tomatoes is our favorite. The grilled chicken salad with added bacon and avocado tossed in a blueberry ginger dressing was pretty darned good also if you are not eating bread. The zucchini fries are also crispy and delicious-- we didn't chance this one by getting it TOGO; instead, we dipped the hot, crispy zucchini fries in ranch dressing. Bottomless home brewed tea to wet your whistle- yes, please! Clean dining room & restrooms and lots of parking to accommodate large groups. Meals are affordably priced. PDQ is definitely one of the places hubs & I will return to. read more

The food is always good. But 20+ minutes in the drive through is never acceptable and it's happened to us 2 days in a row around the same time (midday). I understand the lunch time rush but these kinds of wait times mean poor planning and efficiency inside. Sorry. read more

Nothing but high marks for PDQ. Serving a quality product is their goal and they do it well.

First time at PDQ..Great experience with ambience to food and service.Everything was more then expected from a fast casual restaurant .Had the Bleu sandwich and tots -both excellent flavor profile.Will definitely visit agin when in the area. read more

I really enjoy pdq they have the best food love their tator tots and they have a friendly young lady named Ruth. She is sweet and kind also I worked with her at Burger King. read more

I'm a grilled chicken health nut. Staying in the villages on a work assignment. Had lunch here yesterday after reading other yelpers reviews... I must say, while 5 grilled tenders are loaded with 49 grams of protein, they tasted seasoned full of sodium. After seeing the nutrition of these babies, sodium was over 1400..yikes!! The blueberry slaw was ok, unoriginal, it could grow on me. Overall I give 3 stars on taste, but 5 stars for great service.. read more

PDQ - Yikes on the sodium!! - Sandwiches Near Me - The Villages, Florida

Excellent food, excellent service! First time eating at DOW, will be back. Free style drink service is a plus. No additives in your chicken, how appropriate. Great tea & zucchini fries! read more

Similar in taste and service to Chick-fil-A, but a little pricier. Had the crispy blue chicken sandwich w/ fried zucchini fries and a lemonade. Enjoyed the sandwich and lemonade, but the Zucchini fries are just too soggy from the grease. Hope they can figure out a way to fix them and make them crispier cause they have a good flavor. They have a good selection of different sauces, they keep them behind the counter so you have to ask for them. Will continue to visit for the chicken and lemonade. Iced teas are good too. read more

Fast, tasty chicken and other poultry items. Three salad choices, ultimate coke soda dispensers. Crispy chicken is so lightly battered, that you think it is not crispy, but it gives the food a good spice taste. read more

The quality of food here is great even though it's casual fast food. Fresh salads and amazing chicken tenders. My only complain were the zucchini fries are a bit too greasy but they made it up to me by giving me a complimentary food voucher. Thanks PDQ! read more

Ordered the burger and fries. They were boring and bland. Frankly, McDonalds has more flavor and tastes better. I tried the zucchini fries at another visit. They tasted good, but were mushy and greasy. I really wanted to like this place, which is why I went back a second time, but no luck. On the upside, the staff here is friendly and competent. read more

Good fast food joint, the BBQ chicken sandwich is great, the fried zucchini are great, their crunchy chicken salad is good and they have one of the best milkshakes in town, and my friends they always order their chicken nuggets and they say they are great... I get the fried zucchini at least 3 times a week they are so good.... read more

This is my favorite place to eat, fast food or otherwise. Food is always hot and delicious, great menu selection and very reasonably priced. Place is clean and employees friendly and courteous. Their queso bowl is delicious!!! PDQ gives back to the community several hundred times over and has terrific rewards for their customers. Give it a try, you'll go back for more. read more
