Restaurant #18 - Dairy Queen (July 28, 2011)

"Where It All Began"

Back in October of 2010, Ryan and I were dining on some fine ice cream and conversation in Dairy Queen with our significant others when we came upon the great idea of what it would be like to eat in every restaurant in Quakertown.  Fast forward to 9 months later, where we are starting to begin the "D" section of the restaurants in Quakertown.  We do have several restaurants left that start with "C" but most of those are in Q Mart which are only open on weekends, or the others have really weird hours and close early. Therefore, Ryan and I will have to make extra time for those, so we began looking into restaurants that start with "D" and came upon Dairy Queen.

Dairy Queen is obviously known for their ice cream and blizzards, but does anyone really eat an actual dinner there?  Well, we did, and we actually enjoyed it!  Ryan and I both decided to order the 6 piece chicken tender basket which comes with your choice of sauce.  We both chose the homestyle white chicken gravy, which was the cashier's recommendation.  The basket came with fries and a drink, and at DQ, all the drinks come with free refills! (BONUS)  As we got our food (which was cooked and put together at a high rate of speed), we noticed that every table in DQ was dirty, and some even had trash.  It made for an unpleasant atmosphere when you are trying to eat a french fry but your hand is stuck to the table because of BBQ sauce left over from the previous customer.

The chicken tenders were nice and crispy and were fresh out of the oven.  They had a tender taste and only one out of my six was a little bit too chewy for me.  The gravy was an awesome addition and made for a delicious meal.  If you don't like the gravy though, you can get BBQ sauce, honey mustard, ranch, etc. as a replacement.  We topped off the meal with a free refill and we struggled not to buy ice cream to finish it off with dessert, as we are on a budget :) 

It was a good meal overall, but the cleanliness factor is important to us and that should be a top priority for any business.
