PERMANENTLY CLOSED

PDQ stands for “People Dedicated to Quality,” and the Florida-born fast-casual chicken chain has made its way to Houston still operating on the same ethos. Fresh, high-quality ingredients are used across the board, from the famous breaded chicken tenders to the sandwiches, salads, and milkshakes. The tenders and nuggets are hand-battered and fried or grilled to order, and served on toasted brioche for the handheld lovers, or bun-less alongside your choice of homemade sauce, hand-cut fries, or blueberry coleslaw. Poultry purists: you can opt for the “Tenders Only,” and enjoy your chicken with a side of sauce… or not.
