I drove into Marshall, Arkansas late one evening, looking for a cheap polace to sleep and a good place to eat.  I looked around and was disappointed to find that there were very few options, and most of those were national chains--Subway and Pizza Hut being the most prominent.  I asked around about a local restaurant, and everyone pointed me the same direction, to the Daisy Queen that sits on the main drag, Hwy 65.  I had noticed the place, but burgers don't generally interest me--but not willing to partake of the familiar fare of Subway or Pizza Hut, I reluctantly ducked into the Daisy Queen.  I can't speak to the ambiance  of the place, as I just don't remember clearly, but it wasn't much to speak of--but the food I remember clearly!  The hamburger was terrific!!  It could have proudly served as a template for hamburgers everywhere.  I'm not certain whether I might have on rare occasions had a burger this good before, but I cannot remember ever having one better!  It was fabulous--Juicy, tender and full of flavor.  The fries were also excellent, as was the pineapple milkshake.  I also order a side that I cannot recall with certainty what it was, but it was good as well--maybe stir-fried veggies.  That is another thing this place has going for it--many more choices for sides than you'll find at your national chain.  I sat there, chomping away--lost in a reverie--reveling in the wonderful assault on my tastebuds.  A throwback to the burger joints of yesterday--only better . . . and without the poodle-skirts.
Review Source:There are very few places like the Daisy Queen left any more. Â A real classic among the generic eateries of modern America. Â Just do yourself a favor and slow down while your driving through Marshall and stop at this place for an awesome double or triple cheesburger. Â Just like you remeber when you were a kid. Â Everything comes wraped up in paper with a toothpick in it just like 1966. Â I have driven by this place for years and never stoped. Â Now its a rare trip up to the Ozarks that I dont go to Daisy Q. Â Also Frito Pie on the menu! Â A true southern classic.
Review Source:Large juicy burgers and homemade onion rings. Â Regular order of onion rings is a little on the small side, but they offer a double order. Might wait till you eat your burger to see if you want more. French fries are good crinkle cut style. Â They have several kid's meal options too. Â Catfish and a variety of different sandwiches are available along with salads too. Â Of course a place like this has to have ice cream and milkshakes. Â Classic, delicious affordable local drive-in burger joint. Â Much better than the chain restaurants in town. Â You can get those anywhere. Â Stop in on your way through or when coming to float and explore the Buffalo River. Â Sweet local people with big smiles are eager to serve you. Â This may become a regular place for us when we're in the area.
