PDQ Las Vegas: Sahara

It’s the closest thing to Chick-​Fil-​A until the real thing arrives. Their fries are great, and the chicken fingers are moist. I don’t feel as bad eating here than, say, Raising Cane’s, and I prefer the sauces at PDQ. Try all of the dipping sauces until you find your favorites. I like the sweet sriracha and creamy garlic sauces.

For a fast place, this is amazing. The staff is attentive and quick. It is surprisingly quiet in there too. They took a while with my brother’s milkshake and offered us a drink and a cookie for taking long.
They chicken is so much better than canes! Probably won’t go back to canes after trying this place
We’ve gone two weekends in a row and we are yet to be disappointed.

We love this restraunt. The grilled chicken is fantastic! Unlimited sauces, honey mustard is the best. The manager Antwaun was amazing. They treat us like we are important and that’s why we continue to return.

I’m so freaking in love. Like, head over heels. This place is awesome. You can have your fingers crispy, grilled, in a salad, in a sandwich… whatever. And choosing grilled makes me feel like I’m making a way healthier decision than I actually am LOL. There are a ton of sauces to try. I liked the BBQ ones best. The fries are decent and the shakes are just OK. The service is awesome. They were totally cool about our fussy babies and even gave my friend a cup of boiling water to «sterilize» a binky that fell on the floor. I told them I really wanted a location in Henderson, which they said may be on the horizon, but now that I think about it… I changed my mind. Too dangerous! I’d eat here every day!

From 12÷30÷15
Stopped into PDQ out of hunger and curiosity. Once you walk in this place, it’s actually nice for a fast food chicken joint. In other words, it’s not greasy and tacky looking, PDQ looks like an actual restaurant.
I ordered the tenders meal, and it wasn’t bad! Next time I am down this way, I will try other items on their menu.

I have been here a couple times for lunch. My favorite is the crispy turkey sandwich. Love it!
The fingers are really good too. So fresh and tasty! The salads are good, and the grilled versions are okay, but when I come I gotta get the fried!

Honestly, reading some of these reviews I got a laugh. Keep in mind we are reviewing a fast food restaurant. We are not reviewing Giada on The Strip, frankly some people should be embarrassed that they even attempted to sound as pretentious in their reviews as they do. That is beside the point. Here’s the deal:
The selection is great, you can get all sorts of variations of sandwiches, tenders, salads, and sides.
The chicken is fresh, it is well seasoned and not dry. The chicken from here tastes like chicken made with love. Not the hate filled chicken of Chick-​Fil-​A.
The french fries are deliciously seasoned and well fried. They always come out fresh and crisp. Nothing on earth is better than fresh fries.
Sauces-​a-​plenty! There is a huge sauce selection that you can keep coming back for more of. They are not stingy and the associates do not act like their job is on the line if they hand over any extra condiments. God forbid a person needs more sauce.
The staff is courteous and friendly and always willing to go above and beyond for you. The food is ready quickly and brought out to you.
Can we talk about the soap they offer by the little wash bin? SMELLS AMAZING.
The layout is great and holds many people in a non crowded fashion, because who on earth wants to eat their meal next to the creepy IT guy Larry that hasn’t showered in two days? (I work in IT).
Bottom line, get off your high horse and go eat some tasty chicken at a friendly, clean, and well rounded fast food joint.

Tried the grilled chicken sandwich right off the bat it was ready in 2 minutes a horrible sign. And eating it was incredibly dry almost like jerky. Inedible threw it away was in a hurry and left without complaining.
Something tells me i was served food that was returned or premade and just sitting there. Disgusting and a shame for a restaurant advertising freshness.
Chik fil a i have never this with.

Delicious chicken fingers and sauces. Unlike other chains this brand has a good range of dipping sauces. Personal favorite is the Creamy Garlic and Chipotle BBQ. The best part it’s unlimited which allows you to try various flavors.
It’s cool that you have the option for your chicken fingers: Crispy or Grilled plus they have salads and descent amount of sweet items like cookies and apples slices with toffee flavor dipping sauce.
This location is the second one in Vegas with plans to open more according to the staff that assisted me today. Everyone is friendly and attentive to your needs which is rare in a fast food joint.
If you enjoy Raising Canes this is a must try for something different and refreshing approach to chicken fingers. They also make delicious hand spun shake which changes throughout seasons. I got the seasonal apple pie shake and it was on point with texture and consistent flavor throughout.

I am super impressed with this place. The food is fantastic and they have Cheerwine! It is fast place for a meal without the fast food vibe. The place is extremely clean and the prices are very good. I will definitely be returning.

Raising Canes who?! Chick-​fil-​A who?! Living in Las Vegas, we have been so lucky to have many out of town chains come our way. PDQ has hit the jackpot with their chicken tenders! Talk about winner winner chicken dinner!
«People dedicated to quality» couldn’t be more true. You can see it in their customer service and you can taste it in their food. A simple concept that is often hard to come by these days with other places.
Food:
— Chicken tenders: Super tender and juicy with just the right amount of seasoning and breading.
— Fries: FRESH CUT fries! I liked it! I am actually very picky about fries. (Shh…not a fan of in & out fries!)
— Sauces: They really hook you up here! It is unlimited, so indecisive people just try ‘em all. I really like the creamy garlic and sweet sriracha. The buffalo, bleu buffalo, and honey bbq weren’t too bad. I have yet to try the honey mustard, ranch, and chipotle bbq sauces.
I love that they are big community supporters. On my first visit, there was a pink t-​shirt and milk shake promo for breast cancer awareness month. For Veterans day, they are honoring free tenders or sandwich for vets /​active military.
Fair prices, unlimited sauces, desserts, seasonal shakes, and fresh tasting fast food will keep me coming back!
If lady luck is on my side, I hope we get a PDQ in Henderson soon!

Wow! For a fast food restaurant I am extremely impressed!!! Heard great things about this place so we had to try it. I got the grilled turkey sandwich with cranberry sauce. Very tasty sandwich with a nice meaty lean piece of turkey. Had to get a chicken tender to try and the blueberry cole slaw. Omg the chicken is moist and cooked perfectly with a nice crunch. Wow! The breading on the tender is light and crispy, not dripping in oil and tasting of old yucky oil. I was a little hesitant to try the blueberry coleslaw but wow, yummilicous! They have a bunch of cool sauces too! I tried the honey BBQ (Yum). But what blew me away was the fresh-​cut fries!!! Holy fries! Prob one of the best fresh-​cut fries I’ve ever tried! So well seasoned you don’t even need ketchup! Nice and thin like I like them.
I also want to say that not only does this place serve tasty well-​made food, the service was amazing. We ordered our food from the manager Chris who asked if this was our first time. He was so nice and helpful and brought our food to us promptly. At the end of our meal he came over to ask us how we liked it and we of course said Awesome! Since it was our first time he gave us a cookie of our choice! Now that’s service!!!
Love love love this place and will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu! True to its name PDQ– People Dedicated to Quality! Can’t wait for the Henderson one to open! ;-)

We had errands and found ourselves hungry on Sahara, so we decided to try PDQ.
I was struck by the immediate attention and cheerful assistance we got from staff.
He had the tenders and fries and I took the buffalo tender sandwich with blue cheese and buffalo sauce. We both loved the tender chicken and I was blown away with the tangy sauce!
Everything is fresh and very good.
Shakes are fresh and excellent.
They have a pedal driven hand washing sink in the foyer so you can wash up and a variety soda dispenser.
I usually do not review when I visit a chain but this spot is truly a go– to, fun and delicious option!

Drive-​thru experience was one of the best I’ve had in a very long time. First thing that makes this place different … face to face ordering. The lady was friendly and asked for my name first before taking my order. Then when I got to the second window, the lady addressed me by name, which was a shock especially because I was using the drive thru. It just shows they get the name for a reason, making personable customer service. She was smiling and friendly, she even apologized for the wait (which wasn’t long at all!!) just overall great customer service. I know this place is new, but the workers seem like they don’t hate their job and they’re happy to help you. I hope this part doesn’t change as time goes by.
Food. I ordered the tenders, you can get them grilled or fried. Can’t name many places where you can get this option, especially for a fast food chain. I don’t think you can mess up tenders so they’re average to me, just a warning if you like it crispy … these are not for you.
Sauces. They’re all free and you can get as many or little you like. I love that!!! Most places are so stingy with their sauces as if they’re gold. I didn’t want to seem greedy so I tried their sweet sriracha and honey BBQ.
Side. You can choose fries or cole-​slaw as your side. I decided on trying their fresh cut fries, which are similar to five guys fries.
They also have the large soft drink machine where your selection of drinks are unlimited. After all that, you can add a soft baked cookie to your meal for $ 0.99. Their cookies are soft and chewy.
Side note. I did see on my receipt that she wrote the description of my car near my name, I did think it was a little awkward, but maybe they do this when they’re super busy and they have cars pull around, at least that’s the best explanation that I can come up with.
This location is not my normal commute, but if I’m in the area, this overall experience today made it definitely worth visiting again !

Drove by this place and noticed it was new to town so we decided to stop by and check it out. It’s like a glorified Cane’s chicken fingers. A lot nicer on the inside and they also have a drive-​through.
The PDQ stands for people dedicated to quality. One things for sure it’s definitely fast. We waited maybe a minute for food.
I ordered a crispy chicken brioche sandwich. The chicken was definitely very tender and juicy. I’m not the biggest fan of their breading, I actually prefer Cane’s breading but that’s more of a personal preference thing and not indicative of quality or taste. I do feel the chicken quality is better here than Cane’s.
My fiancé had a three piece chicken tender meal and the fries that came with it were definitely fresh cut but they were soft and soggy! Which was a bummer considering we were excited that they were suppose to be fresh french fries. We were expecting hot and crispy.
I will definitely come back in the future to try a chicken tender meal with some of their interesting sauces.

P– People dedicated to Quality.
D– Do get the garlic sauce to go with your chicken, it’s BOMB
Q– Questioning whether or not to eat here? Do not hesitate, go here now.
I only went through the drive-​thru on my last visit, and I was pleasantly surprised with all aspects. The first thing I liked was being able to place your order face to face with an actual person instead of a speaker! They asked my name, and repeated my order back to me to make sure it was correct. When I drove around to the second window, they greeted me by my first name and handed me my drink. Lots of smiles, pleases and thank yous all around. The customer service here is top notch, for a fast food joint anyway.
My food came out quickly and I was on my way. Everything came out HOT. I ordered the 4 pc chicken tenders, with fries and a drink. I also ordered the garlic sauce, ranch, and buffalo for dipping! No charge for extra sauces :) The garlic sauce was bomb. Creamy, garlicky, it tasted just like a garlic ranch. The ranch sauce was kind of weird. It didn’t taste very ranchy and was similar to the garlic sauce but without any garlic. I wouldn’t order ranch again from here. The buffalo blue was a hot buffalo sauce and was pretty good. The fries were skin on and came out crispy. They were very tasty as well, seasoned just right. To drink I just got a boring Sprite– but they do have the Freestyle machine so you can get any drink you want. I have read many great reviews about dining inside, and plan to do that on my next visit.

Experience: this opened right in front of my house, so I’ve been waiting for it to open. I came back from an appt and passed by right at hungry time… a late lunch/​early dinner around 3:30pm. I hit the drive in.
Facility: I didn’t go inside, but the drive thru is there for lazy people like me. It’s brand new, so I can’t imagine there would be much to complain about. It’s a fast food place, so it’s casual and great for a quick bite.
Service: the lady helping me was friendly and helpful. Unlike most fast food, where you can tell the people are pissed off they work there, this place has happy people serving you. Hopefully that doesn’t wear off over time.
Food: I ordered the 3 chicken strips and fries on the side. The chicken strips (⁴⁄₅) were fresh, hot and very good. I loved the honey mustard and the chipotle BBQ the most. I also tried the ranch and sweet sriracha, which were good too. The fries were great! The were also fresh and hot! They were the small shoestring type with the skins still on, giving them that rustic flavor.
Overall: I will definitely be back! Not only is this conveniently located, but I like the food. I’m looking forward to trying their chicken sandwich too. I’ll be back soon.

OMG!!! so good and so nice this is what fast food should be!!!
This place is definitely over staffed. I swear all the staff was friendly. Maybe too friendly every other bite had someone asking me how I was if I needed anything, lol. But seriously they were all great!
Ok the guy in the white chef shirt brought me my order and threw in a huge fresh order of strips. He said they were extra. Holy crap that is a lot of food. 6 strips (so juicy and yummy), california club (the best chicken sandwich I have ever had!), fries (these ones were kinda over cooked), blueberry cole slaw (sweet). And my cup of iced tea. Out of the dipping sauces I loved the honey mustard and the garlic ranch! Honey BBQ is very sweet and doesn’t have that smokey BBQ flavor. The Siracha BBQ had the smokey flavor with a bit of a tang.
All in all this place is awesome!!!

The Skinny: the chicken tenders combo is pretty delicious! 4 star quality but the other menu items are only okay (3.5) service: quick and efficient although the cashiers do forget to ask about what sauces you want. Love the ambience. (3) value: meals are a little skimpy on the size of the chicken but very generous on the fries (3.5).
There are some serious things to love about PDQ. The best thing is the chicken fingers combination. Lightly battered and fried, the tenders are especially tender and juicy. Only complaint are the chicken fingers are a bit on the smaller size for the price. The hand cut fries are pretty good as well with their crisp shoestring sized exterior. I have not tried their coleslaw which is a healthier option instead of fries. For a drink, try their lemonade which they have behind the counter. They will happily refill this for you as well. I found it a bit strong but when diluted with lots of ice, it works well.
We tried their honey bbq and honey mustard sauces which are both pretty good.
If it was just this item alone, this joint would get 4 stars. However because we tried some other lackluster items which prevent the bump up.
The fried chicken sandwich was okay. Although the chicken is good the ratio of chicken to the bun is way off. (too much bun… not enough chicken) Also when we ordered this, they never asked what sauce we wanted with it so it was a bit plain when we had it. Definitely ask for sauce!
I tried their grilled chicken salad which albeit edible was pretty mediocre. Their grilled chicken tastes more generic — a bit too tough, dry and salty. The salad tastes like the standard iceberg mix you get from a bag from the grocery store with that slightly dehydrated texture from being cut and sitting in a bag for a while. They go heavy on the blueberry dressing which I found to be overly sweet. I would probably pass on this in the future.
I also tried the crispy chicken salad with the honey mustard dressing. Although the flavoring of the salad is better, it still doesn’t even rank up with the chicken fingers combination.
We also tried their brewed iced teas. The green tea had an unpleasant floral tone to it and I cannot recommend it. The brewed iced tea/​sweet tea is okay albeit a bit weakly brewed. Probably would be better if you mixed the iced tea with the lemonade and made yourself an Arnold Palmer.
This place is clean and spacious. I love the fact they have a hands free sink outside the bathrooms so you can wash your hands before/​after eating.
Service is quick and efficient when it comes out. Ordering does take a few minutes though as they only have 2 cashiers.
Overall, I like this place — the fried chicken tender combination is well priced and the sauces are good. I would come back just for that as their other items are decided weaker. 3.5 starred review.

This place is awesome. The décor inside is so clean and refreshing. There’s plenty of room for big groups.
The restaurant has been compared to raising canes but I believe PDQ is so much better. They offer more than just tenders. They have salads and amazing sandwhiches as well. I had their new sandwhich the Cali Club … And it was delicious! The chicken was juicy, the bacon was crispy and they definitely didn’t skimp on the avocado. They also offer a bunch of different sauces. I think my favorite are: sweet siracha, garlic ranch, and chipotle BBQ.
