Dairy Queen

We went on a road trip to help our friends move.  Logistics were a bit fuzzy and I offered to help out if they needed me to drive the U-haul.  So guess what I did?  I drove the U-haul!

So off we went on a Saturday morning.  It was getting near to lunch and I told the wife that I was ready for some lunch and there was a town coming up with some places to eat.

Me: "What do you want to eat?"
The Wife: "I don't know.  Subway...?"
Me: "I'm not in the mood for Subway, I might get DQ, do you care?"
The Wife: "Nope.  Just drop me off a Subway and come back and get me."
Me: "Okay."

As we pull up to the intersection and turn towards the Subway (in the gas station), we see that the DQ is having a Grand Re-opening celebration.  What does that mean?  The parking lot has quite a few cars in it, more than I would expect but it's right next to Subway so I say, I'm feeling like a Blizzard(tm) so I decide to park there and get food at DQ.  We walk in and find out that they're giving away FREE Mini Blizzards(tm).  No purchase necessary.  What divine provision!

So I wait in line, order my Crispy Chicken Sandwich Combo and we order our two Mini Blizzards(tm) - Heath bar for me, Oreo for The Wife.

"Do you want your Blizzards(tm) now?"

Me: "Actually..  I guess after I eat."

"Okay, just come back with your receipt when you're ready."

I sit down and wait for my food and the wife comes over with her Subway and we chow down.  There are kids running around with the face painting they're offering and people stuffing their faces with free Mini-Blizzards(tm).  

I finish my meal and go place my order for our dessert.  Service is a little slow but it's definitely understandable with the place packed.  The Blizzards(tm) are perfect, not just because they're free, but because I really wanted a Blizzard(tm) already.  Free was just sugar on top.

We came back the next day on our trip home and the Grand Re-opening was over.  No more free Mini-Blizzard(tm), no more face painting.  =o/

An excellent place to stop if you're craving a frozen treat.  Stop in and pay your respects to the Queen of Dairy.

Went in only for a drink and blizzard and was serviced with a smile.

I got the Mint Oreo Cookie bizzard and it was made to perfection with lots of cookies. Soda was soda and thats it Yelpers...:()

Not one of the better DQs out there. You may want to stick  with one of their ice cream products from the drive-thru. I work away from home a lot and often travel I45, so I end up stopping at these kinds of places a lot for a quick bite on the go. The dining room here is often not very clean, and simple grill orders often aren't done properly. Several times the fries have had that old cooking oil flavor. On the bright side, the frozen dairy products have always been good
