PDQ's FAQs

MENU AND ORDERING

What’s the story with PDQ’s food?

Here at PDQ, we keep it fresh and make it fast. We start from scratch, every morning, with farm-fresh ingredients. Serving up signature sauces and dressings, crafted in house. Hand-breaded tenders, chef-crafted sandwiches and mindfully made salads, all made-to-order in our check-us-out open kitchen.

What kinds of ingredients do you use in your menu items? Where can I locate your nutritional information?

We keep things simple and do them the right way. It’s the only way we know how! No added steroids. No added hormones. No nonsense. It’s a difference you can taste and feel. It’s food, the way you want it. Want an ingredient added? Something changed? Just ask us. We’ll do it with a smile!
