Dairy Queen Grill & Chill

First time here after eyeing this place for awhile now. & here to tell you that we will be back!…read more We ordered: * shrimp tacos * Al pastor street tacos * #2 combo (2 tacos, beans, rice, & 20 oz drink) Everything was hot when it came out, and super flavorful. As someone from SoCal where there's good tacos on every corner, this place definitely satisfies those cravings. Price wise I felt it was very fair, everything pictured was around $34. They were very quick with the food and kind to answer our question! Environment is super clean as well. Happy to say we have a spot for tacos now close to home.

The other two in my party (also from SoCal) straight up didn't finish their meals. That is not to say the food wasn't good. I personally liked the carnitas tacos I had. I don't like tomatoes however the pico de gallo on these were delicious. I wish I had room to eat the other uneaten items. I wish I had been able to try the pastor tacos. That would have been a good test. Maybe next time. Service was good but average. It was close to closing time and they were mopping the floor so the prevailing smell was that of cleaner rather than tasty food. The floor was clean!

As a former Chicagoan, the food is 100% accurate, even down to the radioactive green relish on the…read moredogs...which is great...but the problem here isnt the food, its the portion size. A typical Italian Beef is supposed to be about the size of a brick, about the diameter of your forearm, and weigh more than a pound, fully dunked. What you'll get here, instead, is about the diameter of a can of Red Bull, and weighs about the same as one. Literally the smallest Italian Beef i've ever had in my entire life. It tasted perfect, but it was just..disapponting.. Chalk it up to shrinkflation, but what's served here is frankly tiny compared to what you might enjoy in a typical shop. The Chicago Dog was perfect, but expensive. In most shops the dog comes wrapped with crinkle-cut fries. No luck there, its just the dog. A sandwich and a Chicago dog will set you back about ~$20..and for that price, there's no reason to be skimpy about anything. Buona is sooooooo close to perfect... If they address the shrinkflation problem, they'll be absolute gold.

This place has been on my list for several months now so I stopped at the Buona in Murfreesboro on…read morethe way home from Cookeville. To give them a fair shake at a comparison to Chicago, I ordered two iconic Chicago staples, an Italian Beef and a Chicago Dog. First the beef, I ordered it with hot giardiniera and dipped. The beef was tender, flavorful and the peppers packed a pleasant heat. The bread was sturdy had a good flavor as well. Considering we are outside of Chicago, I'd go 4.5 stars. The Chicago dog looked and tasted legit complete with the neon green relish. For the dog I'd also go 4.5 stars. Seems like Murfreesboro might be sleeping on this great spot cause I was there at 6:30 on a Sunday evening and it wasn't packed. Highly recommend this spot when you are in the Boro to get your Chicago fix, it deserves our support!

What can I say about Cane's?? Umm... it's awesome!…read more Always SUPER fresh, HOT and fried to order chicken fingers with their amazing Cane's sauce. The shop is nicely appointed with call-backs to Tennessee favorites (Elvis, Riverdale High School, MTSU), and is very nice inside. The counter is wide open for accepting multiple order lines and the staff on soft-opening day were fantastic! Very friendly, welcoming, and ready to assist both old heads like me, who is a Caniac Club member (and you should be too! just ask for a card at the register or window when ordering, register that bad boy, and download the Cane's app for a digital version of your card) as well as new folks who've never had the Cane's experience. Once you've had it, you'll want to go again and again! The biggest problem with Cane's - at any location, not just the new Boro shop - I always need more sauce!

There was loud music / fun / festivals. It's a grand opening they went opened up grand and great. The caveat to this is the food wasn't the best. They didn't have that signature canes flavor that I knew to love. I ordered two specific ordered and got changed for two of the same. I informed them of these but since it was so busy they were kind of rushing me because there were multiple cars waiting. In total I paid about 35 when it should've been about 22 and some change. I'm not sure if I'll be back to this one because it felt like I was being rushed and felt some what of an inconvenience because the employees got my order wrong resulting in me paying more to turnaround and find out the food really wasn't seasoned and some what not cooked. I went to the grand opening and maybe I think it was like this because of the cars and long lines packed from the windows to the walls. It'll be some time before I come back here.

It was a good variety of food with crispy Korean fried chicken, bulgogi fries, and a couple of sides. The Korean fried chicken was the highlight of the sampling. It was perfectly crispy, but the spicy flavor was more sweet than spicy. The flavor was still delicious even with the lack of heat. The two sides paired well with both the chicken and the fries. The corn was seasoned perfectly, and the slaw was fine but nothing special. The bulgogi fries were covered in beef, and they didn't skimp on the toppings! I wish the beef was chopped up a little more, but it was nice and tender. The service was good; there was no one in the restaurant when we stopped by on a Saturday.

While they are on the pricier side, I still find that their food is definitely well worth it. My order was still nice and hot after a 20 min drive home. The chicken was super crispy with bold spicy and garlicky flavors. The radish was light and sweet and the cucumbers salad was delish. Definitely a fan and will be back for more.

One word for this DQ, down right DIRTY. From the employees to the service extending all the way from the owner. Food is under-cooked, milk shakes runny, possibly from the fact they stay backed up due to inexperienced teenage employees. Complaints need to be directly addressed to the owner due to the managers neutral "could care less" attitude. Owner name is Richard Van Buskirk residing currently in Shelbyvile, Tn. However if one is able to contact Mr. Van Buskirk please keep in mind this business was handed down to him and his attitude is much like the managers he hires. Loosey Goosey- anything goes! This man owns the one off of Rutherford Blvd too. Best advice is just go to Baskin Robbins. read more

It melts fairly quick, but it had good flavor and texture. Customer service: 2/5 The girl at the register was nice. However, the service was slow. It took a good amount of time for our whole party to get their order, and it was not at the same time. My wife was waiting for a long while for hers. We reminded them 3 times. Then a large party came to the window, that appeared to be the employees friends. They all received their orders and my wife was still waiting. I reminded them one more time before we received it. When she started eating, it was clear that it was missing toppings. So that was very irritating. Price: 3/5 The average price is about $6-7 per ice cream, Not terrible but, just ok. I'm from CA and this was pretty close to the pricing I see at home. Ambiance: 3/5 This is not a sit down ice cream place. They have some benches outside but, this type of venue is a walk-up window and you eat your ice cream while standing or in your car. Not bad, just do expect to have a table like you would at a restaurant or other types of ice cream shops. They do have a cool custard machine you can watch though the window from the outside.
