A retro-style hamburger joint found on the Comm Quad, part of a chain | A retro-style hamburger joint found on the Comm Quad, part of a chain run throughout the Alpha quadrant. The burgers taste almost, but not quite, entirely unlike a burger one could get from, say, a {{ma|Burgerland}} fast food restaurant from 21st century [[Earth]], featuring vat-grown food. | ||
Oddly enough, the soft drink somehow managed to exactly replicate the old A&W rootbeer, and that (and the occasional curious alien "going out for a Terran") has managed to keep them in business. | Oddly enough, the soft drink somehow managed to exactly replicate the old A&W rootbeer, and that (and the occasional curious alien "going out for a Terran") has managed to keep them in excellent business. | ||

Unusually eschewing a location in the Comm Quad, and instead opting for a spot near the docks, The Pit is a rough-and-tumble facility, a bar with a fighting ring as centrepiece. There are multiple pits where contestants descend to face the occupants of a different pit in unarmed physical combat via holographic simulation, to the cheers and jeers of the other patrons. | Unusually eschewing a location in the Comm Quad, and instead opting for a spot near the docks, The Pit is a rough-and-tumble facility, a bar with a fighting ring as centrepiece.

Operating near the docks, the Perfectly Legitimate Protection Company (PLPC), is run two Cardassians, [[Deep_Space_10_Personal_NPC_roster|Mara Joset and Nala Delak]], although they hire other species without discrimination. The exact size of their operation is currently unknown, and they provide perfectly legal armed escorts of both ship and individual variety (although not on the station itself, or in the station's immediate vicinity). The rooms they have rented on DSX are purely for sales, relaxation, and recuperation of employees injured while on Perfectly Legitimate Operations. | Operating near the docks, the Perfectly Legitimate Protection Company (PLPC), is run by two Cardassians, [[Deep_Space_10_Personal_NPC_roster|Mara Joset and Nala Delak]], although they hire other species without discrimination.
