PDQ Orlando: SODO

Good place, we ordered a takout so not sure about their interior. However I can say they were quick, chicken was juicy and tender, fries were just made. Fresh and delicious. I would go there again! Have fun and get some tasty chicken, great place for cheat meal! Service was decent we got it from drive through so i don't know how would it be inside. P.S. My ratings are based on whether I believe I could make a better or healthier version at home. If food/drinks/service impress me, I'll be happy to come back. If not the stars reflect that.

People Dedicated to Quality (PDQ)... that's quite an ambitious mission for a regional chain chicken shop. Coming from the West Coast, this business doesn't have a presence where I live. I noted that PDQ Chicken was rated higher than most of the local competitors so I stopped by this location for a takeout order after arriving in town. The structure and interior looked modern in the mold of a Chick-fil-A but with a smaller footprint.The chicken products were sold as tenders, nuggets, and sandwiches. Each type could be prepared as crispy or grilled. Five sides were listed, two of which were items I have rarely encountered... Zucchini Fries and Parmesan Broccoli. A few salads were available for those who wanted to be extra health conscious. Shakes and cookies were the choices for the sweet tooth crowd while kids meals and family meals were offered for the youngsters and larger groups, respectively.A meal of Grilled Nuggets was my choice with Waffle Fries as a crispy side and Sweet Tea as a drink to complete the offer. Twelve small pieces of grilled white meat were placed in a plastic container with the fries and a piece of Texas toast. Supposedly, you could choose more than one of the seven signature sauces without incurring a surcharge. I picked only the Sweet Sirarcha which tasted like a mayo-based remoulade without any spiciness. It wasn't very sweet either.For $12, I'm not sure the chicken was worth it as several nuggets were dry from being overcooked. The fact that the fries and drink were included in the price was what redeemed the value of the purchase. I gave a 3.5 star rating for my late night visit to PDQ Chicken.

Drive thru staff is always friendly and efficient. My go to spot in SODO if needing to pick up fast food. Order has always been correct.

The staff is always friendly and delivers your food quickly. Not sure if this shift change as a few of the tables needed to be wiped down from previous guests. Ordered the grilled chicken sandwich meal with fries and drink. The chicken is well seasoned and moist. Love their waffle fries as they are lightly seasoned. Always a good option for a meal.

I've been here multiple times for many things on the menu and this by far was one of the best. The salad was completely fulfilling and chicken was crispy to my liking. I loved the other items on the menu and loved the quality of the food. Besides chic fil a this is one of my other favorite fast food restaurants to date. I will be back soon.

For every fast food place I visit, I always have a favorite location that I go to more than any other. For PDQ, their SODO location is my favorite. The drive thru line is never crazy, service is good, and the food always comes out perfectly. Some of my favorites include the Buffy blue sandwich, the spicy nuggets, and their grilled chicken sandwich. Their waffle fries are the best, especially with some creamy garlic sauce. Sometimes we hit this place up just for dessert and I always get the peanut butter shake. It has tons of actually peanut butter! Much love to SODO PDQ!

Just got a PDQ chicken sandwich at Kia center. Pathetic excuse for a sandwich, 16$ and barely has chicken on it with no toppings

Our first visit to this location and we arrived just minutes after they unlocked the door. As we walked up one of the employees opened the door for us and greeted us. We walked over to the counter to double check what we wanted and placed her order with ease. I ordered spicy chicken fingers with a side salad, no tomatoes. My companions got the grilled tenders with fries and we all had their lemonade. Our food arrived quickly and everything looked fantastic. The tomatoes had been added to my salad but as they are grape tomatoes I removed them and one of my companions ate them. At least we did not waste them. The tenders were fabulous and we each had different sauce for our tenders. I got a honey barbecue and a sweet Sriracha. The Sriracha would normally be outside what I enjoy but the flavor and heat is excellent. The tenders already have good heat but adding the sauce just expands upon the flavor. The lemonade was everything they claimed it would be. It was well recommended by the lady who waited on us and I thanked her before leaving and told her it was truly excellent. I only wish I could have had more of it. When we finished eating and we're cleaning up the head out the one employee offered to take our tray to get rid of her garbage and then open the door for us and thank us for stopping in. We were the first ones in the door when they opened but quite a few people came in after us. They have a well laid out seating area that is quite comfortable along with accessible seating. I've been happy with every one of their locations I have ever been to and I really wish they had a location close to where I live. If you haven't tried PDQ, you're really missing out.

My wife and I recently tried PDQ for the for time. We have some coworkers that suggested we give it a try. When we entered the staff were welcoming right from the start. My wife ordered the 4 crispy tender meal, with 4 sauces: Pdq Sauce, Ranch, Honey BBQ, and Buffalo. Note: you don't get charged extra for multiple sauces. I think that's awesome. I ordered the Pdq Salad ( Chicken, mixed greens, red cabbage, carrots, cheddar & jack cheeses, tomatoes, cucumbers with the lemon chili vinaigrette) After we placed our orders we got our fountain drinks and then headed to a table. While waiting I notice a sign in the dining area that showed what PDQ stands for: People Dedicated to Quality. I thought that was pretty cool. The company is telling you how confident they are about the product. 10 minutes passes by before we got our food. The PDQ Salad was delicious. I absolutely loved the lemon chili vinaigrette. The chicken was succulent and the veggies were fresh and crisp. My wife thought the 4 crispy chicken meal was delicious. Her favorite sauce was the PDQ sauce hands down. Not to say the other sauces didn't taste good. Aside from what we had, here is a little about the menu.*Tenders- Premium tenderloins. Not Strips. Not Fingers. No added hormones or steroids.

Definitely will be returning to PDQ. Aces!

I want to be as honest as possible. The food is always tasty (though I'll admit my order was cold) and the service is top notch. Everyone is incredibly kind. Thats said I have ordered the nuggets a few times. I think you can order them as 8 or 12 piece and they are pricey. Problem is that over half of them are just pieces of batter that they call nuggets. It's incredibly inconsistent and for that price point it should be consistent when you pay a premium. I don't hate this place. I think k it's tasty but the prices and quality do NOT match.
