The honey butter chicken sandwich was super yummy! My daughter & I loved it. The zucchini fries were really good too.

Staff was amazing and friendly. Their dipping sauces are different from anyone else and I mean this in a good way. Don't forget they have tater tots!

It's pretty good for fast food. Zucchini fries are the bomb but like all fries, best if you go ahead and eat them. Chicken tastes good. One of our usual spots.

Not bad. But this was my second time coming here. I ordered 2 crispy chicken sandwiches. It says it comes with lettuce tomatoes pickles and Mayo. Both sandwiches only had lettuce and Mayo. It wasn't very tastey like that. I'd like to give them another shot but idk. I don't enjoy paying $8 for 1 meal and it not being right. Plus there is a wait for the food, so I assumed you make it to order. Since the wait was so long I thought everything in my order would be right. But I guess not. 🤷‍♀️ The sauces are really good though. That creamy garlic butter sauce is amazing! It saved my sandwich.

PDQ is one of my favorite fast food chains. I will admit I do miss the fried Turkey sandwich. It was always spiced right and was very moist. They serve their food fresh and do not grab an already made sandwich of a heat rack. The building is clean and the employees are always polite and well dressed. The managers wear a chef outfit, which I think is quite impressive. I hope they stay here for many long years. Keep up the good work PDQ.

I had the chicken sandwich with pimento cheese and bacon. Since the zucchini fries were so highly recommended by previous reviewers, I had ordered them too. Oh my goodness, were they good, especially when I dipped them in the creamy garlic sauce. The only problem was that I ordered the food to go and the last of the fries were soggy from the oil. Next time I'll pore them on a napkin to absorb the oil.

I'm a fan of the PDQ tenders and zucchini fries. I also like their tots, regular fries, and shakes. I love that from 3-5 each day the shakes are half price, but I don't need ice cream! PDQ is a place I hope to visit regularly. If I could change one thing, it would be the bowls with rice, but I think I should give them another try. Overall, very good.

The original chicken sandwich is so good, I've never tried anything else! If you like pickles, ask for extra. They are awesome!

Very neat and clean. Got the pimento crunch chicken sandwich - it was very good! Food was ready quickly, staff very attentive. For your crispy chicken fix, this is the place! My only regret is that my sandwich wasn't bigger.

It was our first time and we enjoyed the experience. Food was fresh and delicious. Really enjoyed the zucchini fries. The sweet potato fries with marshmallow dipping sauce is really tasty! We will ne back!

PDQ was delicious! I went here last week for the first time and really enjoyed the honey butter chicken sandwich I got. My only reason for a 4 star review is that the portion was pretty small! I should have ordered 2!

Variety of food. My salad was great! My husband's chicken sandwich was very good he said.

It's a shame that there aren't more of these in the triangle. Their tenders aren't artificial (reconstructed) nor do they have a strange oily flavor like some of the other local chicken places. Their milkshakes were ridiculously creamy and a small was fulfilling. Service was fast and dining-in was pretty chill on a Saturday around 7 p.m.

This was my first time visiting PDQ. Here are my thoughts on the Great Chicken War of 2018. I had a crispy chicken sandwich and it was really good. Unfortunately, they are not open for breakfast. The chicken is battered in a peppered breading separating them from the other chicken restaurants. I will definitely be returning to try other menu items.

Okay experience , went inside to order a 4 piece tender meal with some fries and a shake. Took forever for my shake to be made and when I asked the manager , she was very slow about it and gave me such a hard time. Once my food finally came up the other manger that was working , he was very nice and ended up refunding my meal for me and giving me my next meal for free , so will defiantly be back thanks to him. Overall my food was good and hot but how I had to fight with the workers there to get my food was just crazy.

Went in 3-2-20, 3pm. Restaurant is immaculate. Hand Sanitizer in lobby. Very responsive employees. Good food. Large food prep area. Whole complex needs to advertise more. I go to Home Depot & Total Wine frequently and was not aware of PDQ. Has Frank's hot sauce too!

First time visiting a PDQ, my experience was amazing!!! Staff was very friendly, food was better than I anticipated. They missed one item though, bacon on my sandwich. But they apologized and gave me a free meal coupon, that I never even asked for! Whoa!!! So, I'm definitely going back!!!! Health department score was 100%!!!!
