Dairy Den — Restaurant in Missouri Valley

Last year, I thoroughly enjoyed coming to eat here. This year has just been one disappointment after another. Favorite items removed from the menu; little to no organization behind the window, leaving me waiting to place an order while other people arrived, placed their order, and got their food; and the addition of Red Bull slush flavors to help your children become addicted and hyperactive at the same time. The chili cheese dog I got was a jumbo hot dog, barely lukewarm, and tasting even lower quality than a typical hot dog (probably due to it being so big around). Again, I really enjoyed this place last year, and was excitedly waiting for it to open. Within three visits, the excitement was gone, and my decision to give them another try today resulted in more disappointment. Hopefully, next year...

I'm new to this area, but I was told by many locals that this place was phenomenal. I have been a few times and been disappointed every time. The tornado, a equivalent to a dairy queen blizzard, is severely lacking. It's essentially a cup of vanilla ice cream with whatever flavor ordered sprinkled on top. Myself and two family members ordered three flavors, all of us ended up with a cup of uninteresting ice cream sprinkled with the flavor but nothing beyond the top of the cup. I haven't tried the food so I cannot speak to that. If I wanted a frozen treat I would go to dairy queen every time because they actually fill their blizzards with the candy or cookie pieces. Very disappointed. Not sure what they hype is about. Overpriced and fair to...

They're pretty good, but they tend to have issues with cross-contamination, so be careful if you have allergies or dietary restrictions (think "order a tornado with cookie dough and you're likely to get odds and ends of peanuts and other candies in it"). They're the only place around here that has dairy-free ice cream, though, and they keep it in a separate machine which is the main reason why we go here at all. Also, slushies are sweet things unless you want a sour one, but theirs have a sour edge to them? Maybe bad syrup? If you have no dietary restrictions/allergies and don't mind possible "extras" in your ice cream, the wide range of flavors is amazing and something you can really...
