I like this place and it's not because I like ice cream (because I can't actually eat ice cream). I love the history of this place and the fact behind why it looks so retro: there are some bylaws in place that state if you wish to make any upgrades at all (other than regular maintenance) then you must now adhere to an entirely new code, which would completely change the whole look of the ice cream stop, and also cost a LOT of money. So, the owners keep it maintained, but wont drop the money on upgrades - I actually like it more like this as it feels a little like a step back in time,
This Dairy Queen is a walk-up window only (so no indoor seating) but there are benches outside. Keeping in mind the winter weather in Brandon, it's also only open in the summer! Inside is humming with summer students who are all generally very friendly, and will make small concessions if you ask nicely (such as - could you sell me a tiny piece of banana for my dog?). If you are looking for a cheap and stress-free dinner, grab a dollar menu burger from Wendy's and then walk across the road for a chocolate dip! read more
