Dairy Queen — Restaurant in Bemidji

Who doesn't love DQ? People are going through withdrawal since the the DQ in the mall closed. NO DQ FOR BEMIDJIANS IN THE WINTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sooooooo happy when this outside DQ opened for the season. This place is totally hopping! Folks out standing in line with snow on the ground and windchill in the 20s! Thankfully the staff is doing a great job keeping up with so many customers. Staff is all smiles and good customer service. If you go here; plan to be in line for a while and plan for your 2nd choice options as the shipping shortages...

We always loved going to Dairy Queen when Mike owned it. I have been twice this summer and it just isn't the same. They no longer offer chili dogs or chips, and they don't have fountain soda, only cans. They were out of a lot of ingredients to make stuff.

Now that the lake side is the only DQ left it makes me a bit sad I'll have to go for a drive in the winter months if I want any DQ but the fact that it is on the lake means you get a great view of the lake to go along with your ice-cream. The staff are great and so nice. Its also near Mc Donalds so if you get a burger or something else there but want ice-cream you won't have to rely on there ice-cream machine working because you can just go get a blizzard...
