I find Bill's Tavern to be just the thing to pop into to complete a daily or two when I'm pressed for time. It's fast. It's pretty streamlined. There isn't a lot dialogue. Once you're run it a couple of times, you can just jump in and start laying the hammer to the zombies, then say goodbye to Frank at the end. It's just a fun fifteen-minute romp that qualifies for a daily foundry quest and doesn't give bad XP either. I don't always have time to do longer ones. Are there any others that might be similar?
City Skirmish [NW-DRTXTVIAC]
If you've been into the Tower District in the last few months, you'll notice they've been digging tunnels in lots of places. This leverages those events and has Orcs breaching another part of Neverwinter just West of the Tower District. Lord Neverember and the Guard have sealed off the neighborhood, but there is a sizeable contingent in there and you need to go in and retake the neighborhood.

Old Magic [NW-DGBLCWRFP] (Quick once you learn where all the tomes are hidden)
Help an old Sage find some lost tomes from pre-Spellplague times in the Tower District.

This one is a blast to put at 5 players and solo, probably one of my favorites.
If you consider 20 minutes or less quick, mine isn't too bad either. The first few times will probably take somewhat longer, depending on choice of mount, quality of gear, and initial tactics. Once you learn what mobs to draw out of the "boss" fight before tackling the "boss", and just click through the dialog, it can probably be whittled down to 15. There is some running around, but it's pretty much action from beginning to end. You can also avoid the last batch of combat by cutting over the hills to the end chest (this wasn't by design, but I'll leave it for those that choose to replay the quest.) You also get to interact with some popular Realms novel personalities...
Whispers of an Ancient Evil...[Extended Edition] [NW-DFDAXX8VE] The Cult of the Dragon, agents of Lloth, and Red Wizards of Thay are conspiring to bring forth an ancient evil to Faerûn. You must align with agents of the Harpers to investigate their enemies the Zhentarim. Caught in a race to gain information, can you prevent the Cult of the Dragon from setting events in motion that would destroy not only the city of Neverwinter, but the Realms themselves?
The earlier Featured version is likely quicker, as I've added to it for the Extended Edition, but the line of travel and end result is still the same. I start with easy mobs and get progressively more difficult as you work your way through. The mobs near the "boss" have a pretty good punch to them, so be prepared. If anything, give it a shot, and if it's not your cup of tea, or too long, that's ok.

See my signature for quests. I am also (slowly) working up another one.
If you just want "stab for loot and ranks" do Sir Killalot's Slaughterfest. Hopefully the puns don't kill you too.
No tips needed, but always appreciated.

I've also got a good fast combat daily, "Karrilos Hills: Orc Raiders". Qualifies for daily, but I've done it in 9 minutes. Pretty much non-stop combat, including some large-scale fights.
Bill's is good, you might also wanna try the Old Jerry saga.

Eldarth's quests are awesome. I can highly recommend them all.

I ran The 27th Level and enjoyed it immensely. I'm getting ready to try the other suggestions as well. My thanks to everyone for their input. If you have any other suggestions, please do post them.
I like 27th level but after a few drinks I keep falling off those steps you have to jump up or the wire you have to walk across, and end up doing bills again.
Two of my quest, "the Mines of Gubasso" and "the Vault of Hargon" both take around 17 minutes to complete once you have run them once to get familar with them. Assuming you don't read the dialog and you don't go off looking around. Both of which can be fun but if your looking for fast get in the way. I think the average time for "Gubasso" is list around 20 minutes and "Hargon" around 27 minutes. But last time I ran them Gubasso took me 15 and Hargon took 17.
Happy Hunting.

Also Nuck Chorris Vs. Funkhead, although it doesn't qualify as a daily.
