Reviews For PDQ Chicken: Ocala

We usually stop here on our way south, but this evening stood out as a great experience. Good was good and quick, as usual, and staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. Facilities including bathrooms were very clean, and all condiments and drinks were well-stocked. The table games were a plus for entertaining the kids. Wish I had gotten the name of the manager on staff to--a tall, gray-haired gentleman--as he was exceedingly polite and helpful.

PDQ is truly a standout when it comes to fresh, high-quality fast casual dining. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, complemented by friendly and attentive staff. The food is always made to order, ensuring every bite is fresh, flavorful, and delicious. Their signature hand-breaded chicken is perfectly crispy on the outside while remaining tender and juicy on the inside. The variety of house-made sauces adds the perfect touch, with the honey mustard and ranch being personal favorites. The fries are consistently golden, crispy, and seasoned to perfection. Beyond the incredible food, PDQ excels in cleanliness, efficiency, and exceptional customer service. Whether you’re dining in or taking your meal to go, you can always expect a fantastic experience. If you’re looking for a place that offers both quality and convenience, PDQ is an excellent choice. Highly recommended! -Miss Ocala Teen USA

I am impressed. I will also be back and do highly recommend this location. You will enjoy the food and the staff. Everyone is fantastic and will go out of their way to provide an excellent quality experience. The atmosphere is open and lively, there's a lot of screens and space to move about. The parking is even great with a lot of places for service vehicles, a recommended location for our wonderful service, and first responders. Seating is great, and there's an outside area that may be pet friendly. Ask for yourself. I think the prices are also five-star, much appreciated! Another great reason to visit PDQ's the food is truly the reason I'm making the review. What a blessing. Thank you all, and see you again soon. I love this place.

PDQ hosted a group of about 50 deaf people on May 17th and they were WONDERFUL!! The food was very good, fresh, hot, and tasty! They treated us respectfully and we really enjoyed ourselves. Thank you Ocala PDQ for such a wonderful night.

Been several times now, everything is very good. Staff are very nice. My favorite is the Nashville tender sandwich. Only real complaint is that the few times I paid almost a dollar more for a large fry it looked exactly the same as my friend's regular fry, so I just stopped ordering the large.
