PDQ – American
Tampa-area location of PDQ — People Dedicated to Quality — the fast-casual chicken chain founded in Tampa in 2011 by Outback Steakhouse co-founder Bob Basham and Nick Reader. Hand-breaded tenders and nuggets lead the menu, fresh and never frozen, alongside chicken sandwiches, fresh salads, sliders, crispy fries, fresh-baked cookies, and hand-spun shakes, with kids' meals and combo deals rounding out the value. Dine-in, drive-thru, and online ordering with delivery keep every option covered, and the rewards app feeds the regulars. It suits Hillsborough families raised on the local chain, drive-thru pragmatists, and anyone who wants fast chicken with real breading.
