Most Disliked
Some guests express concerns about cleanliness, noting that while the atmosphere is friendly, it could use a bit more attention to maintenance. Others mention that although the service is generally excellent, the quality of to-go meals can occasionally be inconsistent, such as items arriving lukewarm, especially in kids’ meals.
A few diners find the prices on the higher side when compared to other fast-food options. While many enjoy the sauces, personal preferences vary—some visitors find particular sauces unappealing despite them being popular among others.

First time visit. Loved the atmosphere! Delicious chicken tenders and waffle fries. I loved the hand washing station and the “to-go” container station. So convenient!

Ok, this place is amazing! This is a step up from the Mac Donald’s that we went to that was literally terrible. But this place is raisin canes level. The sauce in my opinion is not good but i can see people enjoying it. The atmosphere was clean, but could be a bit more clean. And the service was amazing. I definitely recommend the chicken tenders. But the service was 10x better than Illinois, heck they were even walking around asking if we needed anything. Very friendly staff and Definitely a step up from the casual up in Illinois. Keep doing good!

I love this PDQ location! They do a lot of fundraisers for the schools and help the community. They have delicious crispy nuggets with a choices of sauces. I tried the Korean barbecue sauce and it was amazing. They also have great kids meals and mac & cheese. A few times my kids ordered this and it wasn’t hot though. They also have really amazing milkshakes!

The food is fast to get out and it tastes quite good. I like the waffle fries and their sauces go great with the breaded chicken nuggets. The honey bbq sauce is my favorite for sure. I've been here three times and I always have a good experience. The people are always friendly and it's a nice place to have lunch and get away from work for a little while.

Absolute 10/10 if I could give them it. The crew seem to love their job so I assume they are paid sufficiently. And they are so helpful and to the point for delivery drivers idk who handed me my order at 8:23 pm Sunday September 21st 2025 deserves to be looked at for promotion or running his own franchisee. They are a bit expensive but I gotta assume its quality much like chik-fil-a and Dave's hot chicken. They operate like a mom and pop shop, truly amazing experience

PDQ is one of the better fast food places around in my opinion. They have a great menu of food at fair prices, and excellent customer service. I particularly like this location. From the management on down, it is a really great and well run establishment. It's always clean and the staff is always friendly. I go to this location a few times to month it seems since I live nearby, and I have never been disappointed in service or had a bad meal. Keep up the great work!

So sad this location is closing! We have been coming here every Sunday after church for years now. The team at the Julington location has always had the freshest food and wonderful friendly clean atmosphere
