PDQ Restaurant (TPA Airport; Airside C)

My wife and I were returning back from a cruise in Cozumel and had a flight leaving from Tampa back to Michigan. We stopped at PDQ for lunch, it was our first time ever having it and I was blown away. The chicken was very tender, juicy, and flavorful. The fries were good and the service was good as well, they need to come to West Michigan.

We ordered a 5 piece Crispy Buttermilk Chicken Tender meal and a 3 piece Spicy Tenders, with waffle fries. The tenders were delicious but I didn’t care for the waffle fries as much, they were kinda pale and not good to me and the Pepsi was flat. All types of sauces for dipping. Service was okay.

I literally throw out the 2 sandwiches I bought on 9/30 at 8:45am. I spit out one of them. HORRIBLE quality on both sandwiches, inedible. Total waste of money and should have gone to Burger 21, which is next door and I had thought to eat there but changed my mind for PDQ. What a mistake!!

PDQ has seriously gone down in Quality, which is hilarious cause it’s part of their name!!!

Lauren greeted us at the counter and was extremely helpful. She was kind, courteous and went out of her way to help us. She even realized the waters we were getting from the refrigerator next to the counter were warm, they had just been put in. She went out back and got cold waters for us. The food was very good as well. I have been here before and will definitely be going back again.

I asked for a recommendation, and the lovely cashier set me up with an excellent sandwich and a delightful sauce for my tater tots.

I never expect much out of airport restaurants, especially fast food but I was pleasantly surprised about this place. It was one of the best spicy chicken sandwiches that I've ever had! It was hot and fresh & the service was quick! The combo with waffle fries was under $15 so very reasonable as well. The customer service could be a little more friendly, but it was OK for being in an airport. I'll definitely stop by next time I'm going thru Tampa. 💯 👍

Chicken meals. Had chicken fingers and fries with bq sauce. $12. Mediocre meal. Not very crispy, but edible. Took about 5 mins to get meal. You can order at computer terminal or
in person. Posted menu text is very small and almost impossible to read. They have one salad choice. Meals come in a plastic to go container.

Horrible to wait for 16 mins and not getting the sandwich. And took another 10 mins to wait for the manager to refund

The sandwiches were definitely decent. I tried the spicy chicken, and it came pretty close to a traditional Nashville hot chicken sandwich. The milkshake was good as well—nothing extraordinary, but enjoyable. Prices are not too bad.

Does not look like the sandwich in photo!!

Nice staff and great food.

Not welcome!!!!! The girl who was at the counter looked like it was her worse day ever. I just walked away

Employees were extremely rude and don’t make eye contact. One employee in particular spent whole time sitting on counter and texting with AirPods in and when asked for something wouldn’t even acknowledge you.
