This is our first "Go-To" ice cream place. Why? It's nearby, prices are low, the staff is great. My husband always gets a soft serve cone and my son gets a vanilla with sprinkles. Ive ordered a sundae, a dipped cone, and their blizzards. Ive also purchased their ice cream cakes on several occasions. The best. One day I decided to try a hamburger. Let's just say...I think Ill stick with just ice cream here. Sorry! read more

We've been going to this DQ for over 50 years...their shop is always clean and welcoming. I needed a cake for a birthday. I picked up a chocolate blizzard which everyone LOVED! Even tho I didn't pre-order but they personalized it for me. Definitely check out their cakes, While there there is a case of Stars, Peanut Buster Bars. Dilly Bars, for a quick fix. They also have yummy hamburgers and other lunch items. Give them a try, they're great! read more

Great service, affordable prices and large portions. The front staff were polite and attentive to our needs. We had the Blizzard, chicken tenders and hamburgers. Would definitely come back when we are in the area. read more

Cute seasonal Dairy Queen in Park Ridge. This may have been the first Dairy Queen I ever saw that closes in the winter (they're open year-round where I'm from). They have the same items that pretty much every DQ has--at least as far as dairy treats go--and they also have some food items like burgers and hot dogs and whatnot. It's larger than many of the DQ's that close part of the year, as it has indoor seating, washrooms, and so on. There's also a good amount of outside bench seating as well. The parking lot is on the north side of the building and has about 10 parking spaces. When you leave, pay attention to the sign so that you don't drive the wrong way down a one-way alley. So visit here and support your local high school students! Much like so many DQ's (maybe it's in their corporate materials?) they have a large crew of high schoolers working here which I kind of love, especially when it seems like it's the first job one of them has held. read more

Dairy Queen - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Park Ridge, Illinois

I've stopped by this location twice now - closer towards the end of the day after the rush. The staff here are so friendly and patient. The blizzards and dilly bars are always delicious. They're quick to attend to customers and get orders out to everyone. I've even witnessed a small incident arise when the ice cream cone being dipped fell into the container and it was quickly resolved without it being made into a huge issue. There's plenty of parking around the establishment. There is seating inside as well as benches outside to sit and enjoy your food. read more

Love their burgers and Sundays. However tonight I ordered two large fries and this is what both bags looked like. Not sure how they calculate this being a large fry. Totally disappointing. read more

Been coming here for years and have to say they always have some of the best workers at this location. Whether the line is out the door or there are just a handful of customers, they are always polite and patient. Dairy Queen is always delicious. It's just nice to have it served by lovely people. read more

Food: Blizzards are the best dessert food on the planet. Cookie Dough blizzards in particular. Service: Always super quick, normally friendly. Ambiance: Casual in a good way. You can show up in sweatpants or athletic shorts & not feel bad about it. I normally take food to go, but they have indoor dining space that is a throwback to olden days diners or ice cream shops. read more

Dairy Queen - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Park Ridge, Illinois

This DQ is iconic! Located on Devon Avenue and Canfield Road this Dairy Queen is a staple to the Park Ridge community. At almost any given day, I drive past this DQ on Devon and there's always a line. How can't there be, when the DQ blizzards are the only welcoming kind to us Chicagoans? I ordered the oreo blizzard and as sure as it sits firmly upside-down, it was tasty AF. The people behind the counter were friendly and efficient, and we got our ice cream fast. read more

I've enjoyed this place for 50 years. Love the double cheese burger with grilled onions, and a strawberry shake. read more

Great service and definitely great ice cream, I ordered Oreo blizzard and it was amazing. I recommend this place for anyone who's looking to have some very good ice cream. read more

CHILDHOOD MEMORIES, DELICIOUS TREATS The Diary Queen always illicits childhood memories. This DQ is located on the corner of Devon at Canfield Ave., Park Ridge, IL. I ordered a medium vanilla and chocolate twist cone with rainbow sprinkles. I saw a very young girl with a vanilla cone covered in sprinkles and thought "I want a cone just like her ice cream cone!" My husband, who always gets the same treat at the DQ, got his usual. The peanut buster bar! Vanilla ice cream covered in chocolate. The inside is caramel and peanuts. A messy treat to eat! Once in a great while he gets a strawberry sundae with whipped cream and nuts. No cherry, please. Our total was $5.46 -- which is a good price point. However, if you get 2 different treats (eg, sundae, banana split or blizzard) it is over $9. A banana split is over $6! This DQ expanded several years ago. Despite the expansion it is still relatively small. There are benches in front where young children, parents and grandparents hang out. There are 6 or 7 tables inside. Their ice cream cakes are very, very good but not inexpensive. When they get ready to close for the winter they sell their ice cream cakes very, very inexpensively. If you have someone who has a birthday coming up in November or December you may want to snag one of their creamy and delicious ice cream cakes. You will save anywhere from $5 - $12! The Owner always winters in his AZ home. He is not an elderly man (maybe late 40's or early 50's). We hit up this particular DQ after seeing the movie "Blinded by the Light" at the Pickwick movie theater in downtown Park Ridge. It's an art deco theater. Beautiful. The Pickwick even has tours (architecture and art deco). This DQ has a very small parking lot (less than 12 spaces). We usually park in the street (Devon Ave.). You can also park across the street at the bank parking lot (after the bank is closed for the day). Street parking is free. The Owner is rarely here, but he was here on the afternoon we stopped by. He took our order, rolled up his sleeves and prepared my cone. Sweet! Service is efficient and welcoming. Park Ridge is an upper middle class town. There's not a lot of diversity in this town -- same situation at this DQ location. The owner is friendly. The employees are always quick at preparing your DQ treat. They are great, hardworking kids. They also serve food at this DQ (burgers, hot dogs, fries, chicken strips). My 4-star review is based on going here more than 20 times. This DQ closes for the season 1 week before Thanksgiving. read more

This is a classic old school Dairy Queen, and located in a nice clean-cut neighborhood of Park Ridge. I really liked their use of a number system as the place is too small for orderly queuing and it lets folks find a comfortable spot and just wait for their number to be called. Service is friendly and quick anyway, and on a pleasant summer night, sure enough, there was a pretty big and friendly crowd milling both inside and out. As small as the place is, it does have some limited inside tables and seats, which come to think of it, many DQ's don't have I don't believe. Wife and I both had small cones (I had mine dipped), and they were plenty generous with fresh cones for the $2.09 base price. Limited street parking is easy right out front, and several patrons were parking across Devon at the TCF bank parking lot (while the bank was closed). read more

This location is awesome! Dairy Queen is so underrated now with all of these other ice cream places around us, but Dairy Queen is the real OG. Such delicious ice cream and blizzards and the prices are cheaper than most places around us, which is funny because the quality is top-notch. I have been coming to this location since I was a young girl playing softball at Oriole Park, and we would stop by here after some of my games. The staff is always so nice, and I've seen the way some of these teenagers who work there react to the cute little kids, and it's just so sweet. The lines can get long, but they always fly by because they always have tons of people working at one time which is very helpful. This location is closed in the winter because it's a small location with barely any seating inside, but in the summer, this place gets PACKED. Mostly neighborhood folks sitting outside on the benches, and it's just such a nice, relaxing place. It really feels like summer once this place opens and you see everyone sitting outside with their kids in their baseball or football uniforms. The food is delicious here, too, but my go-to is always the ice cream. I'll normally get a soft-serve dipped cone or a Cookies and Cream Blizzard. This location always donated ice cream to my elementary school's fundraisers, events, and ice cream socials, and for that, I am always grateful for this place. read more

Dairy Queen means summer in Park Ridge. This location is a magnet for basically everyone in the community. They generously donate ice cream to kids sports teams after big games and are an overall good neighbor. I live just a few blocks away, so we sneak over there once or twice a week for a Blizzard. The staff is efficient and somehow manages the sea of kids, parents and teenagers trying to get their ice cream fix. They employ a lot of students home for the summer - hats off to them for giving kids something productive to do. There are always a dozen or so cakes ready to write a name on to celebrate a birthday. There is also a kitchen which cooks a limited variety of meals - nuggets, hot dogs and fries. I have never tried it, but some kids in the neighborhood seem pretty hooked on it. I love this Dairy Queen and hope it stays in Park Ridge for generations to come! read more

They are great I just walk down there in the summer time to Buy food and ice cream there prices are are not bad read more

Always friendly and quality service when coming to this Dairy Queen location. Ice cream here is good and to this day it still makes me smile when they flip the Blizzards upside down. The cakes are really delicious too. Sometimes they do get a bit busy, but they work as fast as they can. I've always loved Dairy Queen, and that will never change. Dairy Queen has the best ice cream ever. I will certainly come back again. We absolutely love this place and go as often as we can. I would highly recommend this location. read more

Park Ridge is by far the best Dairy Queen we've been to. Stopped in the other day for a cake for my dads birthday, and we were blown away! We wanted a cubs themed W cake, and it turned out perfect. The girl who decorated the cake was so helpful, nice, and provided great customer service. They're also doing a great job with social distancing and maintaining a safe environment for not only the customers, but their staff as well. Overall a great experience, I definitely recommend the Park Ridge Dairy Queen to all! read more

The best kind of Dairy Queen. Loud, friendly, busy, yummy ice cream. Came by on a Friday night at 7:30. Ordered a small blizzard with extra oreo. Holy cow - cookie gods, forgive me...but this thing was absolutely LOADED with oreo. I typically must order extra oreo in things like this at other places just to be able to taste it. My blizzard tonight blew my taste buds off the map. Well done, y'all. Don't change a dang thing! read more

Fun place to go with your family or friends to get ice cream. The parking lot is a little bit small and the line is sometimes pretty long but the ice cream is really good. The food here is also pretty good which is not something you always see at Dairy Queen's across the board. Highly recommend read more

This place is in a great location where I live now. I came by to this store and ordered chicken strip basket, onion rings and my favorite Oreo blizzard. There was a bit of a wait time which to me was great, it means my food is being freshly prepared. The chicken strip wasn't not bad. Tasted like a normal fast food. The onion rings are great. You can taste the onion. And especially the Oreo blizzard was incredible tasted. Food is decent for fast food. the cashier was professional they repeated your order so that never mistaken into the order. Crew was really nice, very patient to the customer. The prices of the food were great price. I would definitely recommend going here and try their blizzard. You didn't disappoint for eating at DQ. You would have satisfied for graving an ice cream. They have selection of blizzard cake also. read more

Do you enjoy stampeding mobs of shrieking children, covered in various flavours and consistencies of sticky, melted ice cream? Do you enjoy pushy, clueless soccer moms who think that just because they have a flailing toddler in tow it grants them immediate service with no wait? Do you enjoy being body checked by a 6 foot tall 13 year old who is rushing to get out the door to his buddies, resulting in a large Buster bar stain across the front of your shirt? Oh my, then my friend, this DQ is for you. Were it not for the fact that this is the closest location to where I live, I would never come here. But an extra star for the extremely patient, accurate and friendly staff (that is made up primarily of teenagers) that put up with this nonsense night after night. Oh and for the Dipped Cones. Those are freakin fabulous. read more

Love this location- but if they wanna succeed this summer they need to be more efficient

This old time DQ hits the spot, always! Their onion rings are delicious. Their soft served ice cream is classic. Can't go wrong here, people. Sometimes service is slow, but trust me, it's worth waiting for. FYI, they are seasonal. But that'll make your long-awaited visit in the Spring that much better. read more

Always friendly service and consistent ice cream, slushes and blizzards. I called ahead after the kids had a late baseball game and they were ready with the orders for 10 kids. It capped off a great night. read more

Very nostalgic experience with good old American ice cream at an old style Dairy Queen. Little leaguers and families crowd this place every day. Blizzards, dips, sundaes, cmon. It's all good. It's ice cream for crying out loud! read more

Great place for a hot dog and a cheeseburger, let alone the smoothies and the casual atmosphere.

Good taste and lot of options available here. I like the idea what they sell it at. Upside down. Orea flavour is my favourite. I visit this DQ more than I should. Excellent customer service! Flavor is amazing! Highly recommend! read more

"Tis the season...no not that one silly...it's Ice-Cream season!! This D.Q. is less than 5 minutes from the humble abode and oh so good!! We've been coming here for years. It's great to see the neighborhood kids working here every spring/summer, and they couldn't be sweeter (no pun intended). And it's so refreshing to hear the "Can I help you sir/ ma'am?" and the "Thank you very much". They do get B-U-S-Y. Take a number, the line goes fast, and it's so worth it!! They have benches and seats outside, perfect for people watching as you lick. There is nothing like a soft swirl choc/vanilla twist on a warm summer night!! read more

This is the greatest DQ ever! Great service, great food and great kids. The burgers are OUTSTANDING! The teenagers are always friendly, kind and generous! They make the experience worthwhile. read more

Thank heavens they're back! THIS is the super-cute 1950's/60's era outside with the inside of proper running machinery. Go closer to 9 if you want less line. At that point, they still have a full crew of employees, but not nearly the crowds. Also, beware of the going on a Friday or Saturday evening. If you go during the week, you will have lots of attention. Just speak up, because the machines are loud behind the counter. Fun thing: Chocolate Brownie Sundae with chocolate ice cream. Basically, anything is good here, but the main thing is that whomever hires the teenagers- they're actually worth their weight in ITune vouchers- whatever matters to teenagers these days for rewards. They're polite, non-snobby kids who are pretty nice and are willing to get your order right. My only thing: Please be open year-round next year. It's been way too long since the good ice cream shop was open. No, I don't care that it was winter. I missed this place! read more
