With summer weather just around the corner, PDQ has announced the return of its fan-favorite Cali Club Sandwich and Banana Oreo Cookie Shake.
Starting May 11, 2021, at participating PDQ locations nationwide, the chain will once again be offering the Cali Club sandwich. This tasty sandwich is made with the brand’s fresh, never frozen chicken breast, along with ranch, bacon, guacamole, lettuce, and tomato, all served on a toasted potato bun.
As if the return of the Cali Club weren't exciting enough, fans can also once again order the famed Banana Oreo Cookie Shake. This fruity treat is made from all-natural vanilla ice cream, hand-spun with real bananas and crunchy Oreo cookie crumbles. The whole thing is then topped with whipped cream and a cherry.
