“ Great Service - Mobile order was ready when I arrived. Sauces are homemade and free! Chicken was juicy and outside of the reestaurant was clean. ”
“ PDQ for the win!! Queso crunchy bowl, broccoli, some chicken and tots!! Yes! They have Military Monday's, where you can get 50% off your entire order when you show your military ID. Super good food here! Very clean location with a cool hand washing station by the counter ... ”
“ The service was fast and friendly. PDQ was clean and had plenty of drink and condiment options available. Our food was hot and fresh. We recommend the Korean BBQ chicken tenders. ”
“ This is an excellent PDQ location. Staff is super nice. The Tim Tebow jersey on the wall is cool. I’m pretty sure PDQ is partially owned by him. There is a brand new Publix across the street as well. The food came out fresh and hot. Nuggets are phenomenal for fast food. Waffle fries are a winner. I always said PDQ is a slightly better CFA. That’s up for debate but just my opinion. The freestyle machine allows you to crest cool drinks. Ones you can’t get in the store like zero sugar root beer. Overall this is a fantastic PDQ! ”
“ Love the chicken here, service is great too. ”
“ Wonderfully tender and flavorful chicken ! Really fresh sides as well. Thus is now one of my very favorite places!! I'll add, I am in my 60s, and consider myself pretty conservative, I found that clientele is wide range of age, class, race. Very nice atmosphere! ”
“ Just finished outpatient surgery and the guy at the drive thru "Roosevelt " was amazing. Told us hope everything goes well and and a speedy recovery. There are truly good people left in the world. Thank you Mr. ROOSEVELT for making my day. ”
“ In a world that's always trying to scam you, make you buy a membership, hide the small print, and other sneaky things just to make every little penny out of you, I just had the most beautifully made chicken sandwich. I don't care about how food prices have gone up, this twelve dollars was the best twelve dollars I've spent in a very long time. This sandwich was so perfectly put together that if it was air brushed and puffed up a little, it would be like what you see on commercials. All the contents in the sandwich were perfectly stacked almost as if SpongeBob made it. It was tender, fresh, and chock full of flavor. Compared to other fast food restaurants that make their sandwiches all lopsided and soggy from excessive sauces, this sandwich was quite shocking to see. It was a once in a lifetime experience that I just had to share about. I don't think I'm ever going to see a sandwich from a fast-food restaurant like this ever again. Even when I come back here next time, I doubt they'll make a sandwich like this again. But who cares, I'll be back! This was truly a lifetime experience that I embraced to the very last bight. Not to mention the fries which stayed fresh and crispy till I made it home. Whoever made this sandwich, wow... WOW! Thank you for this once in a lifetime experience. This experience of quality that the older generations often talk about... I finally experienced that in the world of fast-food. Need I say more and let this memory live on. This made me very happy. ”
