January 3, 20232 yr Athens, GA had a great DQ shack during my whole childhood. The menu was hand painted with black paint on a big piece of white plywood and included all sorts of different stuff like 20 different frozen candy bars. When the Blizzard landed they took off and eventually moved locations and went bland corporate. It was never the same.
January 3, 20232 yr Where I work we have different break areas and snacks for clients based on cities. In the Minneapolis area we have Dilly Bars, or did have. Haven't been able to restock them since Covid hit.
January 4, 20232 yr Don’t care either…. Got the chicken fried Dude this afternoon (no lettuce plz). I like lettuce on my dude, no homo. The cool crisp crunch mixing together with the mayo, makes it healthier. It’s science bro.

January 4, 20232 yr And fuuuuuuuuck this world …. I got all fired up for some dq steak strips. Pull up to dq on old Spanish trail, very excited. ‘I’ll take a 6 piece steak fingers. Extra gravy and toast, add jalapeño, please !!!!’ ’we’re out of steak strips tonight’

March 21, 20232 yr dq was the height of fine road trip dining when i was a kid. went there a year or two ago somewhere around vernon and probably left with aids.

My grandmother used to live in Bridgeport in the early 90s before she moved to be near us. Lots of great memories of getting a burger and a blizzard with her at that DQ. We had DQ in both Glen Rose and San Saba this weekend on our Colorado Bend State Park trip. The Glen Rose one was packed. I had a Churro Dipped Cone and it was f'ing fantastic.

March 21, 20232 yr Back before cell phones when we wanted to meet someone in a small Texas town we would just agree to a time to meet at the Dairy Queen because ever town had one.

March 21, 20232 yr DQ in Kyle always has a line of cars out to the road. Would love to see what they make during a week in the summer.
March 21, 20232 yr Last weekend, my wife and I went to go see her parents in Bryan, and the DQ around the corner from their house still had the taco special going on. Three tacos for $5, plus a Dilly Bar for me and an M&M Blizzard for the wife. Righteous eating, I must say.

March 21, 20232 yr On 12/1/2022 at 12:06 PM, Samson's Wig said: "Slowly" is the key word from the title of this thread. DQs are the slowest fast food chain in Texas, especially those in small towns. Nothing worse on a road trip than stopping at a DQ and waiting half an hour for a shitty burger. I listened to an entire half of a high school football game on the radio once waiting in the drive through line at my local DQ.

I actually like lettuce on my sandwiches and burgers, but the waste water effluent they water lettuce crops with gives me the shits. So, I forgo the lettuce.

So, I forgo the lettuce. No doubt. It's the veggies at fast food places that give you food poisoning, not the meat. I won't touch produce being handled by people not paid enough to give a shit about washing it properly. At least the meat is being cooked to death.

March 21, 20232 yr My asshole did hurt, but I blamed that on the chili fries. Oh, well they’re meant for oral consumption despite what they look like.
March 29, 20232 yr Winnsboro had the best DQ from my ancient memory. Was always a team stop after HS basketball when we played up there.

March 29, 20232 yr Yes it is. I swap mustard for mayo, add japs, lettuce and tomato. I haven’t had one in 20 years but my move was to get a side of gravy to put on it. Mixed with ketchup of course.
April 11, 20232 yr The churro dip cone is fucking great.But it’s even better if you ask them to make a blizzard with it.And the cherry dip is good if you get it dipped in chocolate too.DQ kicks ass.
April 12, 20232 yr Popular Post In 78-80, one of my many jobs in high school was working for the local furniture store/funeral home. One day, we had to drive from North Texas (more like southern Oklahoma) to south Texas to pick up a body. Three of us hop in the blue hearse and head out. Somewhere along the way, one guy laid down on the cart in the back to take a rally nap after a long night. Shortly after, we stop in some small town DQ to grab some drinks. Driver orders for me and him, then turns around and says, "What do you want?" Mack sets up and places his order....we look to the window and the chick has bolted. We had to go in to pick up our drinks. Mack stayed in the hearse. I wish I could say we planned that first one...but it was an accident....but every DQ after that....we pulled the same stunt.

April 13, 20232 yr So could you get buried sitting in a chair rather than in a casket?I didn't get to go but an acquaintance had a staged funeral. Basically they had him sitting in his favorite chair like he was watching TV. I guess you just dig the hole deeper.
