Don't think I've had anything other than a Blizzard from DQ in at least 20 years.

Sir you said exactly what I was thinking! WTF?!
I might open a rant about people buying tacos at Dairy Queen. What the heck is wrong with people…
And since we are in the rant section, I have never, ever, not ever ordered food at a Dairy Queen. Just ice cream. My local Dairy Queen likely sells maybe 4 cheeseburgers a day so I have no idea why they even try. Basically the food is made to order and takes forever. Last time there some absolute jackass ordered tacos (just kidding. Order food of some sort) which means I’m stuck in the drive through for 28 minutes waiting for the grill to heat up and the food to get cooked. And of course MY ice cream is melted mush by the time I get to the window.
So thanks a LOT folks that buy food, at an ice cream joint … rolls eyes
DQ hasn't been an ice cream joint ever. They don't even claim that they serve ice cream. That's beside the point though. Whether or not they were ever an ice cream joint, they are now a fast food joint that also serves something that may or may not be ice cream. The ones around here probably sell more burgers than Blizzards.

If DQ is gonna let people order cooked food at the drive through window, they ought to ask those people to pull into a designated parking spot to wait for their order. That way those of us who are just ordering “ice cream” can get our fix and move on with our lives.
Every other fast food joint in the country has figured this out.

Tacos at a DQ? I've not seen that on the menu here, that must be a regional thing.
30-40 years ago some of the small town DQs in ND and MT offered Fleischküchle. Haven't had that in years, but now that I'm thinking about I wonder if some of the towns in MN known for their German heritage might have that.

The only non-ice cream thing I've ever eaten from any DQ was their cheeseburger and it was as lousy as I predicted it would be...

Sorry, but you have no more right to your seaweed sludge than I have to my Flamethrower burger. You can wait just like everyone else.

Here I thought it was just our DQ that served lousy hamburgers....

I like the dip cone.
The burgers aren't bad at all, but who goes to DQ for burgers? I did only when I was in a very small town and found the DQ as one of the only options. They do cook them to order, which always helps.

DQ has better burgers than most of the other fast food places. I rarely order their seaweed sludge.

They put in a raw egg in the original Orange Julius back in the early 60's that made them so creamy and frothy. When then they stopped doing that they were never the same. Still good, just not the same.

I've only known Orange Julius as a mall chain selling smoothies. I didn't know DQ bought them out in 1987 until I googled it just now.
That explains why I haven't seen any in the mall for quite a while.

I will admit, that when I go back to my hometown I do go through and get a Jim Dandy.

A lot of the Dairy Queens up here close for the winter and have limited menus.
I miss a lot of the old menu like their Mr. Beef basket

The best DQ in the world is in Pleasant Hill, OR. They are an old DQ that has a mom and pop menu that is grandfathered in. You can get sausage gravy biscuits for breakfast, or chicken fried steak and gravy, or eggs and hashbrowns, etc. All that stuff that satisfies my Southern upbringing. And a Blizzard. Fantastic.

These old school ones are fantastic, but IME are mainly rural. Their Chicken fingers with country gravy are hand battered and fried on-site.
I was shocked when I ate at one of the new locations in the city. Reheated frozen food. This message has been edited. Last edited by: tatortodd,

I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a “Jim Dandy” at a DQ. What’s that?

Wow, not only do people actually eat at DQ, but they also serve tacos, I would have never guessed either of those.

That's one blizzard more than I had in the last 50 years.

Its a warm sandwich made with a hoagie bun, lettuce, tomato, cooked ham, melted swiss cheese, and tarter sauce. Two bread and butter pickle chips are placed on top of the sandwich, at least at my hometown DQ.

The Dairy Queen menu in Texas is different then the rest of the country I believe. It is different in Florida anyway.
