Dairy Queen Grill & Chill

If you find yourself in North Indio, there is one spot you absolutely cannot skip. After a family…read moresushi dinner this past Sunday night (April 19th), we decided to see if the local hype around Better Ice Cream was justified. Spoiler alert: it definitely is. First Impressions & Atmosphere The moment we walked in, the first thing I noticed wasn't just the display cases--it was how clean the place was. You could literally smell the freshly mopped floors, and every table was shining. It's rare to see a high-traffic dessert spot look that sharp on a busy weekend night. Service Under Pressure There was only one young lady behind the counter, and despite the place being packed, she was a total pro. She was incredibly attentive and managed to get everyone's order--including our group's--completed flawlessly without breaking a sweat. That kind of service is hard to find, especially when a shop is that busy. The Main Event: The Flavors The ice cream itself was amazing, but the real showstopper for me was the Orange Julius. It isn't pictured, but it was the highlight of the night. One sip took me straight back to my childhood--it was perfectly creamy, frothy, and hit all the right nostalgic notes. The Verdict Whether you're finishing off a meal or just looking for a weekend treat with the family, this place delivers. Great vibes, spotless environment, and top-tier treats. Pro Tip: If you're looking for a trip down memory lane, get the Orange Julius. You will not be disappointed!

It was topped with strawberry and Mexican candy and the rim was so delicious! Very refreshing and the alcohol was well balanced! I left feeling gooood, but not loco! The mangoneada was delicious as well. I would have liked some more mango chunks tho. It was sweet and salty, but most importantly, drinkable! Usually, mangoneadas are so sweet and heavy that you take a few sips and you're done with it. Not here! Sipping the mango in between the margarita was giving my brain the pleasure it deserved.

We ordered my son the Chocolate Brownie ice cream, but unfortunately, he did not like the flavor. Had he been able to sample it beforehand, we could have avoided purchasing an entire scoop that he ultimately would not eat. Because of this, we had to purchase a second ice cream in regular chocolate, resulting in an unnecessary additional expense. For a business where customers are choosing from so many different flavors, I find it very surprising and disappointing that samples are not offered. Allowing customers--especially children--to try a flavor before committing to a full serving would provide a much better customer experience and help prevent situations like this.

SHORT ANSWER: Yes, this is a good place, location, and the food is good. Not my favorite burger but…read morethat is just me. LOCATION: Wonderful retail center location. Lots of parking, clean, safe, and lots to do in the retail center location. FACILITY: Very nice buildout. I have been to other Five Guys before but this one seemed like it had more square footage. Very clean, nothing out of place and the peanuts are a nice touch. MENU: To me a little confusing but I ordered my toppings as requested and got the meal deal for $13.99 which seemed fair enough. I usually just order a #2 at some other burger place and I am done with thinking. FOOD PREP: Nicely made for each order, it took a bit but when it arrived it was worth it, well the fries were worth the visit. FOOD QUALITY: To me the burger was too spongy soft, a bit messy. It was only in the foil wrapper for maybe 2 minutes. I am a fan of another burger place and to me, that is how a burger should taste. But the fries, did I mention the fries? Not sure how they are made but excellent. WAITSTAFF: Workers here seemed, on this visit, to be out of gas after maybe a busy Friday lunch crowd I think. They were nice but just did not seem super happy to be there and I get it. OVERALL VALUE: Pretty good, $13.99 plus tax is fine fr a meal burger, fries, and a drink, I won't mention the other burger place that has been my favorite for 40 years but the #2 is less money, but the fries at Five Guys are by far superior. TIP: I'd say this location can get slammed and the food delivery time is kind of slow so be aware if you're in a hurry. Rating this visit on the place itself, not my preference to tastes, so in that this was a great visit.

I'm thinking, man I didn't even bring my lunch. I have no idea what's in Indio other than it being scorching hot! So I get to the spot where I'm working. I start looking online. I get to Andy's burgers #4. Now any place that has a number after it has to be good. Where I live it's Tams burgers. So at first I look at the menu I want to get a double bacon cheeseburger then as I pulled up, I saw burritos from 14 dollars, then I saw a beef burrito for 8.99. Heck with that price I'll get 2. I asked a nice lady on the other end of the loudspeaker what comes in the beef burrito she said ground beef beans, pico de gallo, lettuce, and cheese. That was a perfect combination. I I pull up to the window. She has me two good size burritos. Let me let me jump back a little bit. I drop my card and she said don't worry about it. I'll come by and pick it up. I said no no I got it, gave her my card. She gave me the burritos. She asked me if I wanted fresh salsa or the packets. I said what are the packets she said del Sol, I asked what is the fresh red or green? She said red, I said I'll take the fresh. I was on my way back to the spot where I can eat. I took a bite into the burrito , put some red salsa on it , Flavor for Sure!! The picture below only has one burrito because I literally just smashed the first one for my lunch. I highly recommend Andy's. I can only imagine what other flavor bomb items are on the menu. Looks like I don't mind coming to Indy to work anymore. As long as I have Andy's to keep my belly full cause it sure is hot out here and you're gonna need some food to work out here in these extreme temperatures. Thank you For the great food Jim
