I tried the PDQ location in Ocala. I thought it was very good and since the placed was packed, I guess there were a lot of customers that felt the same way.

PDQ stands for People Dedicated to Quality. It's a fast casual restaurant specializing in fresh hand-battered chicken tenders, made-to-order sandwiches, daily cut fries, hand-spun milkshakes and fresh salads.

Outback Steakhouse co-founder Bob Basham and MVP Holdings CEO Nick Reader are the two principle owners of PDQ. The partners spent more than two years developing the concept behind the brand and the quality of the food and establishments. On October 30, 2011, the original PDQ restaurant opened its doors in Tampa, FL.

PDQ is founded on the concept that high-quality food, memorable service and genuine hospitality are the basis of an excellent restaurant. All menu items are made to order and they believe fresh high-quality food can be served fast, at a price you'll love.

One more thing - Restaurant Business Magazine recently named PDQ as the number 1 fastest growing small chain in America and Nation's Restaurant News chose PDQ as a 2014 Hot Concepts recipient.

My comments are not an advertisement for PDQ. I just see so many comments made by individuals - as I say shooting from the hip - that haven't done their homework. I don't work at or own a PDQ, I'm just a resident as most of you are. So when PDQ opens its doors, give it a try. I think you'll go back!
