I ordered the mushroom and Swiss burger, it is very well cooked, juicy, flavorful, I enjoyed it very much! We came here for lunch during a normal weekday, the place is packed, which says how popular this place is.

Plenty of TVs tuned to sports and the FOX network. It has the TouchTunes jukebox so those who like to play music on that app will be happy. Many small-town bar & grills use that app/jukebox system. The service was very good with only one waitress and cook running the show. About 15 minutes from order to delivery. I just had a basic cheeseburger and fries. This is a burger joint no frills. The burger was very good sized, and the fries were ok. The meal was certainly worth the $10 value. One drawback is stairs to get up to the dining/bar area. Other than that, a good place to have a quick burger and fries. Beats the Burger King across the street.

My kids wanted DQ, so I figured I'd save time and ordered online so I could get in, grab the food,…read moreand get out quickly. I arrived at the exact time the app said my order would be ready. There was a long line at the counter, only one employee working, so I waited patiently assuming my online order would be coming out shortly. I waited 20 minutes. Finally, after everyone else who had been waiting got their food, I asked if my order was ready. The response? "Oh, we'll get that started for you now." ...Wait. What? So I asked, "You guys wait until the person who ordered online shows up before you even make the food?" Employee: "Yes, that way your ice cream doesn't melt while we make the food." Okay... So then they immediately hand me the ice cream cone. And I proceed to stand there another 10 minutes waiting for the food. At that point I asked, "Why would you wait until I get here to make the food? Now I'm standing here with melting ice cream dripping everywhere, which completely goes against what you just told me." Response: "Well, if someone orders online, they might not show up for 30 minutes to an hour, so we wait until they arrive." I'm sorry... That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. The entire purpose of online ordering is convenience. It's supposed to save time and let customers skip the wait. Otherwise, what exactly is the difference between ordering online versus just walking in and ordering at the counter... or going through the drive-thru? And if someone chooses a pickup time and decides to show up late? That's on them. The app literally lets you choose "pickup now" or schedule a pickup time. If I'm ordering ahead, I shouldn't still be standing there for 30 minutes while watching everyone else get served first. To add, I got home and realized they made half of the order and set it in the warmer...with the applesauce from the kids meal. It was hot when I got home so my child didnt get to eat her apple sauce at all. Do better, Dairy Queen.

I kid you not every single time i'd order something. I forgot to order my ice cream because it was so overwhelming. When I got my food, it was disappointing. Part of the pretzel was so rock hard I couldn't even eat it. The worst part though, my gravy dipping sauce was a solid when it is typically liquidy. I was shaking it around and it would not budge. Disgusting. I understand we came here closer to the end of the night.... we went through the drive through around 8:15 and they close at 9. But really, there is no reason for food to be hard or the gravy sitting there so long it turned solid. It was a bummer!

Good? Okay? Mediocre... my search became desperate and the bar even lower the further out I looked from my location until I came across Chick N Rice. What's that? Pictures of food that look appetizing? It must be too good to be true. It must be AI generated. But I am out of options, so I took the long drive... First came the Lemon Coconut Soup. With one bite, years of bad food experiences that created Up North food PTSD came crashing down... next came the Hot Chicken sandwich. Friends. With delight I would like to inform you, Chick N Rice does not disappoint. They do not settle. Made fresh to order. And with decades old family Recipes made the way they did back in Thailand. My only regret is that I don't live in Brainerd, and to enjoy this delish food requires additional trips back. But I kid you not, if the lakes weren't enough, this food makes it worth the consideration! Enjoy!!

I have gone to the back counter to order wings three times and either two people working back there are ;having cigarettes together outside or today, with four people, nobody asked me if they could help me. I waited at least five minutes. I was not about to yell. Two guys talked with each other with one giving me eye contact and within my vision and one young woman was working as fast as she could. I finally went up front and asked if I was mistaken about ordering at that counter and the cashier said no. Order there. I asked for a manager but the pregnant lady has not corrected this situation (she sits in the back with the workers close by) so I assume she just lets it go. I complained to the cashier and he said "I guess they are just busy.," Not good. So here I am. You have great merchandise but I will live without it and go elsewhere if nobody responds to me.
