June 13, 20205 yr What is actually really good there is the grilled chicken sandwich. Large piece of chicken and a small bun.There used to be an ice cream bar I got there as a kid, it was vanilla ice cream with "hidden" fudge and peanuts throughout the random bites, coated in the chocolate shell.What was that called? I need to order one if available. I bet it has been 35 years since my last one.

I can't speak for their steak fingers, but the one near Stassney and Manchaca has some of the best fast food American tacos out there. As for dessert, I tend to favor the Oreo Royal Blizzard. For those who don't have Royal Blizzards at your location, it's an Oreo Blizzard with a generous portion of hot fudge in the middle.

July 9, 20205 yr Had the Royal Oreo only with Butterfinger. The fudge part was just a big glob in the middle.

July 9, 20205 yr new Drumstick blizzard is strong. real strong. maybe the best one yet. It was damn good. Anyone tried the Circus Animal Blizzard yet?

The beetus be damned, this sounds amazing. also, you should write marketing copy for DQ and other ice cream novelties
July 10, 20205 yr DQ is terrible these days. Haven't been in like 3 or 4 years after they ran out of ice cream one day. That's after they ran out of their "blizzard of the month" by the 8th of the month (but kept it on the sign of course). I never even thought they're ice cream was particularly good, it was just convenient for us. Now days the line of cars wraps around the building, I don't get it.
September 15, 20205 yr Author Picked up a S'Mores blizzard today. Never had it before so decided to give it a try. It was pretty good.
September 15, 20205 yr I never even thought they're ice cream was particularly good,Y’all keep calling it ice cream. While it’s a good vehicle for candy and such, it ain’t ice cream.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I live close by, thought I would get fat from living so close due to my love of blizzards, and thankfully it's so bad that I've been to the La Grange DQ more than that one in the last year.

September 16, 20205 yr Has it gotten noticeably better in the past 4 years? Because it sucked when I was last there. What kind of person would I be if I kept trying shitty things because maybe this time it will be good. I just get creamy creations or swoon from heb if I'm in the mood. Half as convenient, but 10 times better.

The juice isn’t worth the squeeze to drive to Highway 6 and I 10 just for DQ. The small town ones are always better and I’ll seek them out on road trips.

It's on one of the main roads. Out of your way a little as it is mine unless I'm heading to Houston, but every time I've stopped it's been great. I judge a lot by french fry quality and they had hot, crisp and fresh covered. Not easy to do sometimes, especially since I have stopped during regular meal times as well as off hours.

Half as convenient, but 10 times better. I was just razzing you man, no worries. i don't know what DQ was like 4 years ago b/c I have really only been going to DQ with any regularity the last couple years or so b/c my GF lives pretty close to 2 of them. and as i have gotten older, store bought ice cream (other than Talenti which is mostly gelato) gives me a stomach ache - i think its one of the preservatives. so if I want ice cream I go to Tiny's, if I want gelato I go to Gemelli's, and if I want soft serve delicious treats, I go to DQ for the Blizzard. i also think the quality of DQ's vary from shop to shop. the one on Burnet Road is family run and it seems well run for a fast food joint.

September 11, 20241 yr We've been on a Blizzard kick all summer. I've only ever had one flavor...Pecan Turtle Cluster. When my kid goes out to pick them up and asks what I want I always say this:
September 11, 20241 yr Chocolate covered cherry. I always ordered it off-menu, but very rarely did the kid not know exactly what I meant. Unfortunately I think it's been legit retired though, because the last few times I tried I was denied.
