PDQ Chicken

In Florida, there’s chicken, and then there’s PDQ. “PDQ” stands for People Dedicated to Quality, and that’s exactly what you get: Their chicken breasts and tenders are buttermilk-brined, hand-breaded, and cooked to crispy, crunchy perfection, and they’re served alongside cult-favorite signature sauces. It’s made PDQ one of Florida’s hottest fast-casual restaurants, with nearly 50 locations statewide and additional outposts in North Carolina, New Jersey, and New York.

PDQ was founded in Tampa in 2011 by Bob Basham – who also co-founded Outback Steakhouse – and Nick Reader, and the company is committed to forming deep roots in their communities, donating millions to local charities, schools, and organizations in need. Millions of loyal fans have fallen in love with PDQ’s tenders, chicken sandwiches, crispy waffle fries, and signature sides & cookies, and now they’re shipping nationwide!
