Dairy Queen

Pros: Excellent Mushroom/Swiss Burgers
Cons: None on Long Island

Just came down from another trip to Maine and made another stop at the Dairy Queen that calls itself DQ in much of its literature. Though I've had their ice cream over the years I now stop there for their burgers that are like shoe leather but they know ...

Pros: The milkshake and the fries did not end up in the overflowing trash.
Cons: Where do I start?

First off let me say that all Dairy Queens are not created equal. The store closest to my house is strictly a drive-in/drive-thru, with picnic tables in a shaded area near the parking lot. The location that we visited yesterday has several seating ...

Pros: Clean restaurant. Lots of treats is you have no health problems.
Cons: Hot food, not hot. No sugar free ice cream.

Today we headed to a local beach for an hour. It was really pleasant walking the water's edge. That reminds me I will have to put a request in, to have the park added, I have only been there several hundred times. I asked Len if he was hungry and of ...

Pros: The treats and commercials
Cons: Everything else

In an unforeseen twist of events, Queen Dairy has unthawed from the freezer of hell and made a reappearance in my life over recent months. While still being a cold and bitter wench, she’s not all that bad these days in some ways, especially when the ...

Pros: The Blizzards are good and the flavors interesting. The ice cream isn't ice milk.
Cons: The sundaes are small, I wouldn't eat anything other than ice cream.

My husband would rather have soft serve ice cream than Ben & Jerry’s. Needless to say we were looking for a Dairy Queen while in Florida. The last time we had ice cream from DQ was in Canada this summer. The Canadian location was in a very small food ...

Pros: Good Food, Good Prices, Clean
Cons: Calorie Central

As soon as I could walk, I remember walking up to the carryout window at my local Dairy Queen. I remember with fondness getting a ice cream cone there with my parents, and I absolutely loved it. I have grown up now, and even though I have moved from my ...

Pros: Best ice cream cakes around
Cons: Less-than-clean environment; food quality is debatable

We don't go out to eat at Dairy Queen very often, and frankly, the times I have let the kids talk me into it do not carry the most pleasant of memories. Why the kids find it such a treat is beyond me; they always complain about the food after we have...

Pros: Cool Ice Cream Treats
Cons: Hot Foods are Not Very Tasty; Buildings are Dirty and Outdated

As a young kid, Dairy Queen was one of my favorite places to visit. Like most kids, I loved the various DQ treats. Whether it was a chocolate- dipped ice cream cone, a dilly bar, or a royal treat, everything tasted sweet and delicious.

Now, as...

Pros: Cool treats!
Cons: Expensive for what you get, dirty rundown restaurants

Recently my family took a weekend get away. My husband was craving a hamburger and the only fast food place in the small town we were in was Dairy Queen.

We have a couple Dairy Queen establishments in our area, but they are all so run down...

Pros: Good ice cream selection; decent hot food
Cons: Service, prices, menu items and cleanliness varies (widely) at certain times.

In a small town like the one I live in, there's only about three or four fast food places--and seeing that most people complain about McDonalds, I decided to try and find a job at my local Dairy Queen. So, after working here for two months, I can report ...

Pros: Good, low-fat soft-serve ice cream, lots of options
Cons: Poor quality food, some items are overpriced, franchises generally lack personality

Dairy Queen is a fast food chain specializing in “Hot Eats” and “Cool Treats.” This means it offers a variety of food products and an even larger variety of ice cream products. The Queen has virtually taken over the globe and has ...

Pros: all good
Cons: none

Dairy Queen is a nice cozy place where you can sit and enjoy the best ice cream around. Wether it's cold or hot outside, you just can't resist those tasty treats inside.

You can always choose from their delicious, old fashion ice cream cone or...

Pros: Good food, delicious ice cream
Cons: Atmosphere is bleek

Yes, I suppose Dairy Queen serves food. While their typical fast food fare such as burgers and fries, chicken and steak fingers are fairly unimpressive, their ice cream is wonderful.

Dairy Queens have among the lowest required population...

Pros: Ice cream
Cons: Everything else!

I am still trying to find out what has happened to my favorite ice cream parlor?! Did someone die and leave an idiot in charge? Or maybe the problem is, Ms. Queen has been franchised out to so many ne'er do wells, that she has lost her crown.. ...

Pros: The whirlwind of memories, and the lemon-lime "Mister Misty" float
Cons: The mall-ization of the Dairy Queen threatens our cultural heritage!

I am amazed by the number of "Dairy Queen" reviews that make reference to the nostalgia draw of the DQ, amazed more still by the number that seem to find that as the sole merit. I am now starting to wonder how many people feel their childhoods...
