Dairy Queen

I can't believe that I'm giving DQ 5 stars but hear me out. Between 11am-4pm they have a $5 lunch menu. For $5 I had 3 crispy and tender chicken strips, fries, a cup of gravy for the fries and/or chicken, unlimited soda, and a small sundae with hot fudge drizzle. All for $5. What a bargain! That's $1 per Yelp star. It doesn't get any better than that.

Pretty much a typical Dairy Queen.  Made a stop here because one of the kids was hungry.  They got what they wanted and was satisfied.  I was super impressed on how clean the place was.  Often isn't the case, but they did a top notch job here.

Mandatory stops on any trip to Gearhart:  the spring to fill up water and DQ for dipped cones or corndogs.  This time it was corndogs all around.  I think the woman working the drive thru was also cooking as it took over five minutes for our dogs, but hot damn (literally) they were nice and crunchy.  And chicken too, which negates the fried food factor.  Right?  Riigggggghhht?

Didn't stop for dipped cones on the way back but as all patriotic Americans know, dipped cones are one of God's most magnificent creations.  Victoria Falls, the Grand Canyon, Great Barrier Reef, DQ chocolate-vanilla cone dipped in chocolate, not necessarily in that order.  I would eat one every day if My Fitness Pal let me.

So if you're hungry on that seemingly eternal trek to the ocean, DQ it up.
