Yes, it's a chain, yes its in a super-sketch neighborhood and the establishment itself isn't the…read moreprettiest. This is Normandy Blvd., not Avondale, so you'll have to excuse the blackout window at the drive-through and the lackluster furnishings. I come here for one reason.....wait, make that 2. First off, it's 2 minutes from my house....I mean, so is McDonalds, but I know better than to try and go to McDs for ice cream. Secondly...Blizzards. Need I say more?
Is it too early to use "It's the Holidays" as a fat food excuse yet? I mean September-ish is practically October-ish, and with October comes Halloween, so yes, in my maniacal foodie mind...."it's the Holidays."
My go-to fave is the Butterfinger Blizzard....and fries, of course, because sweet and salty, why not? I've tried their burger once and that was enough for me...flavorless and uninspired are mere understatements. I do, however appreciate that their Ranch dip is made from Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning and not out of a bottle, because it's not the same and tastes so much better.
I MEANT to order their newest Blizzard flavor, the Cinnamon Roll Centers (sounds delish, right?), but I guess I was flying on autopilot because I got the Butterfinger one instead. No big deal, my fries were piping hot, my Blizzard had that crispety-crunchety peanut buttery taste that i love, and nobody better lay a finger on my Butterfinger!
Service is a contrast between "Hello, welcome to Dairy Queen, may I take your order?" to "Go ahead and order." Although there have been highs and lows throughout the years, I have never experienced the long wait times and attitudes that other reviewers have mentioned. The young lady at the window this evening was actually pretty cool, so all in all, it's actually not that bad.
Till next time, my fellow Yeeps, thanks for reading, and as always...SYOY!
