“Great food!!! Will be back! 5⭐️“

“Dave's Hot Chicken has some great food! I am a fan of hot foods, but most chicken places are rather ho hum with the heat. The extra hot chicken here is actually hot! The slaw is unique and very tasty, and the pickles are fantastic! The food is ready when promised, and the staff is efficient and friendly! Give it a try!“

“slowwer than Christmas,don't waste my time,I gave them another opportunity and they let it go again , I WILL NOT BE BACK !!!“

“Very professional“

“Absolutely obsessed with PDQ’s Nashville Hot Chicken! The perfect balance of heat, flavor, and crunch—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, with just the right kick. It’s my go-to every time I visit. Add some fresh fries and a shake, and you’ve got a top-tier meal. Fast, friendly service and always consistent. PDQ nails it!“

“really good hot chicken. not so hot it burns your face off, but hot enough to know you just had a spicy meal will prolly go on our work rotation.“

“We love PDQ on Westchase! Food is always delicious and the staff is always friendly! The best part is that it is consistently this way :)

Kid-friendliness: Coloring pages, crayons, seasonal decorations and a hand wash station.“

“Fries were not full barely any suaces were given and no straws in the bags. 100.00 order price is getting out of control. quality is as good as mc donalds anymore. you partner with Doordarshan which was over 14.00 in fees. yet grubhub I find out has free delivery for prime members.“

“Stopped into Chick fil A for a chicken sandwich today with my second cousin. He loves the chick fil a sauce and the spicy chicken sandwiches.

The staff was amazing as per the usual, and it was still decked out in the holiday spirit.

The inside has a play place for the kids and a lot of space.

Plenty of parking and spots to chill.“

“PDQ is better compared to what it was a year ago. Contrary to past visits, I actually had a satisfactory visit here, but I’m not saying it was perfect. The dining area is clean, and was small yet large at the same time. The service was fast and got our order ready quickly.

The food itself is overall good. The PDQ Sauce is a nice addition and tastes great with chicken tenders. I got the garlic Parmesan tenders, and it tastes good, but it’s very greasy. The fries are solid, but the toast was a miss. The texture of the toast let it down. Overall, would recommend, but still not the best compared to other nearby restaurants.“

“We have been longtime supporters of PDQ and this location did a GREAT last week when Manager Victoria helped make the delivery of lunch to a doctor's office EXTRA SPECIAL. I called the restaurant and requested that a handwritten note be included thanking the Doctor and his staff for their exceptional care. You all made so many people smile that day (plus they LOVED the food!).“

“We visited the zacksbys on West Hillsborough by Target and could not have been happier. The staff was friendly and Zachary had the place looking amazing. I was compelled to leave this review after seeing how he wiped down the drink machine. I’ve never seen anyone, anywhere do that before! The bathrooms were spotless and the atmosphere was great. Zachary even held the door for us as we were leaving! Thank you for such great service.“

“That lemon slush is so amazing 🤩 love this late night spot 💕“

“The food is 25% the staff bings in the other 75%. 8 years I have bin going there. Thanks for the wonderful service and food. Let me know when you also bring back shakes.“

“Eriel is always so kind! It doesn’t matter what time of day, she is smiling and happy to take care of your customers! I don’t know who needs to hear this but good employees like her should definitely be recognized and rewarded! Remember it’s the food that brings the customers, and it’s your employees that keep them. She deserves a huge raise, promotion and definitely recognition! She greets me by my name always, her positive attitude is a great way to start the work day!“

“Great people, great food!!“

“Definitely the best KFC I have ever been to!!
My meal was ready before I finished paying.
Plus, the clerk who took my order was so outrageously attractive, ? adorably short, and cute that I had a great deal of difficulty keeping my chin off the floor.“

“To begin with, the place was clean, which immediately caught my attention, since I have gone to other Pollo Tropical and cleanliness is conspicuous by its absence. We went for lunch and what we ordered was hot, fresh and super delicious. Although I am a bit picky about food and don't usually eat at these types of places, I have to admit that everything was very delicious. Please DO NOT HURT YOURSELF. I hope I can return and that it is just as good. Good things also have to be said!!!!!“

“Why do they keep asking me what sauce I want with my spicy chicken, it's perfect just like it is.Update, OK, I tried the Chick-fil-A sauce today and it was amazing, it has kind of a smokey flavor which was really great with the spicy sandwich.

Wheelchair accessibility: Food court in the middle of the mall. Second floor.“

“Pick up phine atop frying mear ti hars“

“Yesterday around 6 pm my dad bought 3 fried chicken sandwiches with no fries to go. The sandwiches were excellent. And I would say the taste of their sandwich was unique and strong which in my opinion you wouldn’t find a taste like that in any typical fast food chain. It was an experience trying this place coming from a Floridian “

“WARNING: THIS IS A MALL CHICK FIL A AND HAS A LIMITED MENU
Used the Curbside pickup feature. Great way to avoid the large line and anxious crowd. Food and service about as usual as a full sized Chick. Fries were soggy and only partially warm, with very little salt (as usual). Hot take Chick-Fil-A fries are pretty bad usually, they can be good but usually mess up bad. Nuggets on FIRE today. Best I’ve ever had.

Parking: Mall parking lot

Wheelchair accessibility: Via mall parking lot spots and various ramps“

“This is the best fried chicken you want in your life! Also the best customer service and care. They know each of their regular customers by name! And, surprisingly by voice! This is a wonderful family establishment and a great place to spend time and money and this is an all around great place to get great chicken and great service. THANKS TORRIE! You provide a service that far exceeds the expectations. I will forever be a loyal customer!“

“By far the best chicken tenders I’ve ever had in my entire life. I am extremely picky and my favorite food is chicken tenders so I will make a drive just to try a new chicken place. Will definitely be making the 30 minute drive again. The waffles is the perfect addition to them.“

“The drive thru is busy, busy. The place uses the business model they adopted during COVID with two line of cars, and efficient employees taking orders in line. I went inside and was the first one in line. I waited about 3 minutes for Andy to help me, but it was a lot faster than waiting in the car line. I passed on the very tempting banana pudding milkshake, frosted coffee milkshake to go for the diet version of the Sunjoy, unsweet iced tea and diet lemonade. You cannot go wrong with grilled chicken nuggets. Several wheel chair access parking spots. This place is all wheel chair access as well as the bathrooms. Great service. I heard a rumor that I can get free tea refills but I didn't have time to stay today.“

“I ordered a cobb salad without cheese and they do that but they forgot the hard boiled egg. That’s the best part. I’m not feeling good so I didn’t go back. I also ordered a bowl of their chicken noodle soup. That was perfect!“

“Excellent everything clean the food exquisite super nice the attention Super good

Parking: Facial finding parking

Kid-friendliness: It is a family atmosphere, it is suitable to go with children, they allow pets, that is also what I loved being able to share the most and that my little one with 4 legs was welcome ?? ????

Wheelchair accessibility: The entrances and the whole place how the tables are organized a person in wheel villas can move freely the bathrooms everything“

“This Chick Fil A is right off of the USF campus. The store was very clean and a worker was constantly cleaning up after everyone. That worker also asked if we needed anything or if we wanted refunds.

Ordered the 4 strip meal, came out fairly quickly. The food was hot and to their high standards. The lemonade was also mixed well. Nice and quiet even though it was crowded at times. Maybe because there is no play place inside.“

“We have been longtime supporters of PDQ and this location did a GREAT last week when Manager Victoria helped make the delivery of lunch to a doctor's office EXTRA SPECIAL. I called the restaurant and requested that a handwritten note be included thanking the Doctor and his staff for their exceptional care. You all made so many people smile that day (plus they LOVED the food!).“

“enjoyed myself 🙂it was so nice everyone was so nice and kind i will go back again“

“Extremely friendly and courteous service. Very clean location as well. Nice to know they're bilingual. Today is the first time that my husband and I visit this location and I highly recommended it. The owner is super nice as well. Thank you for such a nice experience! Will definitely come back to buy. NPR Couple.“

“This location is ridiculous, the past 3 times they give you sauce in the tiniest container and refuse to give you more to finish your meal. At this point, there is no reason to keep going to the franchises, not sure what their employees issues are with sauce. There is also no one ever in there when we go, so obviously there is an issue with this location.“
