In a nutshell, I still love Raising Cane's chicken tenders more. However, PDQ does care about "homemade" and fresh items. Love their Coke 100 machines, as well as unsweetened Regular and Green Teas (Sweet Tea available also). You can purchase Lemonade and bottled Cheerwine.
Sign up for coupons at www.eatPDQ.com and follow them on social media. Also, there are certain specials available, such as the $1 mint shakes on March 17th (St. Patrick's Day) or the Monday Madness Meal - 3 piece tender meal from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. for $5 every Monday in March
PDQ also caters. The food is freshly made, but I feel the tenders don't have as much flavor as Raising Cane. I love the blueberry coleslaw. Will need to try the salad next visit.
