About PDQ

PDQ Restaurant at TPA Airport; Airside C offers a mix of experiences. While some find the food bland and service lacking, others enjoy the unique and strong taste of the fried chicken sandwiches. The Classic Chicken sandwich and crispy chicken are highlights, with the waffle fries being hot and nicely salted. However, the inconsistent service, with issues like missing pickles and drinks filled with ice, may deter some customers. Despite mixed reviews, the unique taste of the sandwiches sets PDQ apart from typical fast food chains.

Customers have been pleasantly surprised by the quality of the spicy chicken sandwich, describing it as one of the best they've had. The combo meal with waffle fries is reasonably priced, under $15. While the customer service could be more friendly, it's understandable for an airport setting. The chicken fingers and fries, though mediocre, are still edible, and the meals are served quickly. The sandwiches are decent, with the spicy chicken coming close to a traditional Nashville hot chicken sandwich, and the milkshake is enjoyable.
