Dairy Queen is one of the few fast-food restaurants that can hit every pleasure point a diner
could ever hope for. Dairy Queen produces delicious desserts that go perfect with your
meal. The only question is, do you order before or after you eat your meal? The answer to
that question lies in if you like melted ice cream or not. Here are 10 Ways Dairy Queen's
Food Menu Is Surprisingly Awesome.
Classic DQ cone
Let’s start off with a real classic. It doesn’t matter if it’s blistering hot
outside or freezing cold, a classic cone is a real treat. You just ate a deliciously greasy
meal, and now you’re craving dessert. It’s when you’re feeling full that the guilt
of wanting a tasty treat comes over you. That’s when you make a compromise and eat a cone.
You don’t feel so bad for being a glutton when there’s no whipped cream or toppings
involved. Do you go plain or have your cone dipped in chocolate? The great thing about
the chocolate dip is that it makes the ice cream a little soft. The cone dip is warm,
and it causes the ice cream to melt ever so slightly. The first bite makes all the other
cone dip munching possible. The creamy ice cream pairs so well with the chocolatey dip
that coats it. You don’t need an excuse to enjoy something as fantastic as a DQ cone.
Any day can be turned into a special occasion when you savor their soft serve ice cream
no matter if it’s dipped in chocolate or not.
Dairy Queen Hot Dog
Why is it that fast-food restaurants all but have forgotten about hot dogs? Luckily Dairy
Queen isn’t the type of place that forgets what their customers like. Any hot dog aficionado
knows that not all hot dogs are created equal. Sometimes you bite into a dog and wonder what
it’s made out of. You don’t have those concerns when eating a dog at DQ. You can
taste the quality ingredients from the very first bite. There is a reason why hot dogs
have been on the menu all of these years, and it’s because they focus on the quality
of the meat and the seasonings used to give them flavor. Do you go with plain or with
chili cheese? Make sure to get a few extra napkins if you’re going the chili cheese
route. It’s easy to make a mess when you’re scarfing down something so good it makes you
grunt like a hog searching for truffles in the Italian countryside.
Pretzel Sticks with Zesty Queso
If there is one item on the Dairy Queen menu that is genuinely bizarre, it would have to
be their pretzel sticks. Who goes to DQ wanting to eat soft pretzels dipped in cheese sauce?
This is one of those items that so many people overlook. Though, those who love Auntie Anne’s
pretzels know what all the hype is about. No doubt, the pretzel sticks are DQ’s way
of competing with Auntie Anne right in her own backyard. It’s not unheard of for those
two quick service behemoths to square off in the same food court. Some people won’t
want to go to two separate restaurants to get their fix of dough and sweet frozen cream.
The Pretzel Sticks with Zesty Queso is a tasty snack for those who don’t want a full meal.
Everyone has those cravings that need to be addressed right away. You’re driving down
the road, and you want something chewy and doughy dipped in cheese. That’s when you
head on over to DQ for an order of their pretzel sticks. As you probably already know, it’s
almost impossible to walk out of the joint without ice cream, as well. It’s funny how
you go in wanting to dip freshly baked bread in cheese sauce and walk out with a sundae
so big you need a shovel to get it in your pie hole.
The DQ Treatzza Pizza
It’s impossible to say Treatzza Pizza without having a silly smile plastered all over your
face. Pizza is a fan favorite, no matter how you slice it. If you’re unfamiliar with
the Treatzza Pizza, you’re in for a real shock. This isn’t like any pizza you’ve
ever eaten before. You’ll never think of pizza the same way again after enjoying one
of these sweet and creamy delights. Yes, it’s full of the DQ ice cream that you already
love. There’s nothing pizza about it other than the shape. It’s okay to feel a little
uneasy at first about a frozen treat shaped like the pies you dream about in the middle
of the night. There are currently four Treatzza Pizza varieties. There’s Reece’s Peanut
Butter Cups, M&M, Choco Brownie, and Heath. You might as well go down the list and try
all four of them. Some of you go to DQ and never venture too far off of the deep end.
You get your favorite items and stick to those. Now it’s time to see the other side of the
menu. There’s a whole tundra of treats waiting for you to devour.
Chicken BLT and Side Salad
Who goes to Dairy Queen in search of a salad? That’s like going to a Mexican restaurant
and ordering the hamburger. Evidently, some people go to DQ for salads, and they have
two varieties for those people. Someone somewhere is trying to eat a salad because they feel
guilty for all of the ice cream they’re eating. That must be the logic behind going
to Dairy Queen and ordering a salad. You have a choice between the Chicken BLT and a side
salad. The Chicken BLT Salad comes with your choice of deep-fried or grilled chicken. It
also comes with crumbled up bacon. This is one of those salads for people who like to
think they’re eating healthy, but aren’t. It’s a salad for the fast-food generation
who wants to pretend they’re eating something good for them. If you’re planning on ordering
the biggest ice cream on the menu, maybe go with the Side Salad. It has nothing but chopped
up vegetables and your choice of dressing.
Dairy Queen Onion Rings
Onion rings should be in a food group all of their own. Have you ever reached into your
fries to find a single onion ring? You have to wonder if it’s a plot to get you over
to the other side. You’re either someone who loves onion rings or a fries person. No
one is saying that you’re not allowed to enjoy both. It’s those who eat both onion
rings and fries that end up having the hardest time deciding. Worry not my friends, there
will be more visits to DQ, and that means more opportunities for side dishes. What
makes Dairy Queen’s onion rings so good? That’s a trick question that could only
be asked by a fry person. It’s the golden delicious deep-fried outside of the onion
ring. The onion plays second fiddle to the crispy, greasy outside coating. They come
in two sizes regular and large. Go large and save yourself from the near future regret
of having too few onion rings.
Chicken Strip Basket at DQ
Who would’ve ever thought that an ice cream place would give fried chicken joints a run
for their money? DQ does just that with their Chicken Strip Basket. There are several options
to get your fix of these crispy deep-fried morsels of perfection. You can get the chicken
strips by themselves. If that’s not enough artery-clogging goodness for you, then you
can go with the basket. The Chicken Strip Basket comes with strips and fries. Let’s
be honest and say you went to DQ with the desire to eat all of this and ice cream. Don’t
sweat it; you can order the Meal Deal, and they’ll throw in a sundae. Still not enough?
You can upgrade your sundae to a small Blizzard for an additional charge. To dip or not to
dip? That’s the real question in life. Are you the type who dips their strips in sauce,
or do you eat them plain? Even dippers need to take a bite or two plain so they can enjoy
the deep-fried deliciousness of the chicken strips. Do you live life on the edge and use
two different dipping sauces? No one will say a word if you wipe out the bottom of the
sauce containers with your fingers. Some things indeed are good to the last drop.
Cheeseburgers at Dairy Queen
DQ has made many higher-ups at the burger chains shake in their shoes. Anyone who has
ever eaten one of their cheeseburgers knows why that is. Dairy Queen is one of the few
places that can give industry leader McDonald’s a run for their money. DQ’s cheeseburgers
can go toe to toe with McDonald’s, and that’s saying something surprising. It is considering
that DQ is thought of as that place you go for ice cream. Today, it’s so much more
than that. Some people prefer their cheeseburgers over their competitors. Maybe the fact that
a person savors the flavor of their burgers differently while eyeballing frozen treats
has something to do with it. But their burgers can stand on their own. It should also be
noted that Dairy Queen has a variety of sandwiches. You can get big beefy burgers and grilled
or fried chicken sandwiches. But, for many, the cheeseburger is the king of all sandwiches.
If you’ve never had one of their cheeseburgers, now is the time to savor one. You will never
think of Dairy Queen the same way again after eating them.
DQ Fries
People are on to what you’re doing. It doesn’t matter if you’ve pulled the shades, and
you’re at home. You might even go to your basement bunker, and everyone knows what you’re
doing with your fries and DQ delicious soft-serve ice cream. You’re dipping your fries in
it. Aren’t you? You’re not alone. Many people like you dip fries into ice cream.
Knowing this information probably makes you feel less alone. It’s a common occurrence
at Dairy Queen. It’s not unheard of for someone to buy fries and ice cream without
considering a drink or sandwich. The fries at DQ are great. They’re golden brown sticks
of perfection. This is going to sound weird to some, but there are those who go to DQ
for just their fries alone. They will order fries and munch on them while watching their
favorite YouTube videos. Who knows, maybe they’re watching this video right this minute
while savoring the delicious greasy flavor of hot and savory fries.
The Famous DQ Blizzard
What’s the first menu item that comes to mind when you think about Dairy Queen? It’s
the Blizzard. No item on their menu is anywhere near as famous as the Blizzard. It doesn’t
matter if we’re talking cakes, cones, or burgers. Everyone knows the Blizzard, and
there’s a good reason for that. DQ has made it so everyone can get a Blizzard filled with
all of their favorite sweet treats. We’re talking candies, cookies, and even brownies.
Who doesn’t love the idea of eating ice cream with real pieces of Reece’s Peanut
Butter cups in it? There’s nothing like it anywhere in the world of fast food. Sure,
McDonald’s has the McFlurry, but it’s not nearly as good as a Blizzard. Maybe the
best thing about Blizzards is they have limited time items. These are things inside the Blizzard
that change depending on the season or if something new is hot. DQ knows that people
love their Blizzards, and they like to keep it fresh. Many people go there just to try
the latest flavor of Blizzard. The timeliness of the limited-run items is partly to do with
that. Though the classics will always have a following and that’s why it’s not uncommon
to see people sitting down and eating a Blizzard and nothing else. There are few fast-food
menu items as iconic as the Blizzard, and that’s why it’s been a staple ever since
its introduction.
