Jaelyn came to our table and offered all sort of things to help our dining experience. She was very friendly and made us feel that she wanted to be of assistance! Rarely see this kind of kind customer service!

This is the first time i ever been to a PDQ, but I I can say for sure that this is the BEST fast food I’ve EVER had. Im a lil high rn. The atmosphere inside is so nice, everything is clean, they had board games families can play, coloring pages and crayons for kids, and neat lil They really are people dedicated to quality. Ok I just got home and the mac n cheese I got was really soupy and mac noodles tasted weird, but the mac & cheese that my friend got tasted great. I just wanted mac and cheese and I got cheese sauce with a bit of mac in it

Fast friendly service, food was at the right temperature, waffle fries were fresh and crispy, tenders were spicy and good. John was a terrific host, recommended items and got the correct order. Will comeback, recommend this PDQ.

This place is always immaculate. I've never seen it dirty even when its full of people. The staff is so friendly and the food is always delicious, hot and quickly done. I have never waited more than 3 minutes for my order to be done. This past Sunday my order was ready before I even paid for the bill. So far all my visits here have been very good and fun.

Hands down, the best fast food chicken sandwich. Where others once ruled, PDQ is now boss. It might cost a little more but the quality difference is undeniable. All locations I have seen are similar, same basic floor plan. They are clean, well staffed and provide a nice selection of food to pick from. Love that they have one of my favorite childhood drinks. Cheerwine.

I found a roach on my salad, I'm disappointed and disgusting. See my video, I'm not being here again. See the video I recorded it as evidence. I'm reporting it to the county.

The restaurant is clean and the staff was super friendly and everyone was hard at work. Got my chicken sandwich with fries and a drink. Got that buffalo bleu sauce on the side...let me tell you, way better than that other place that rhymes with "Rick Smolay". I'd sell my wife and kids for that sauce!
