Wish I could rate 5 stars, and would, but I was a bit disappointed. I was told this dairy queen still had a lot of discontinued treats. Looking online, I saw they still had the classic Oreo brownie earthquake, a sundae style dish, topped with hot fudge, oreos, whipped cream, and finished off with triangles of brownie. I asked to be sure, and the person at the counter said they still had them so I ordered two. What I got however, was a blizzard with chunks of Oreo and brownie. No hot fudge, no whipped cream. No nostalgia. Had my treat of choice as a child been a dilly bar or dipped cone, I'm sure I would have rated 5 stars. I still wholeheartedly recommend this location. Just, if you ask for the Oreo brownie earthquake of your childhood, don't expect one. Just ask them to add Oreos to a triple chocolate brownie. It's not the same, but at least it's closer. EDIT: Went back for a dilly bar today! Some of the younger workers might not know what you are talking about, but I spoke with someone who has worked there longer and she told me they still make it, just with the...
Read moreRead about this restaurant in the New York Post and just had to drive over and try it out. Since my husband and I were driving through South Dakota when I read about the shop, we pulled out the road atlas and made a change of plans on our trip back to Ohio. Adding a day and 600 mile to our trip for ice cream sounds completely ridiculous, but believe it or not, it was completely worth the drive. The flavors and textures were just like I remember from my childhood and haven't been able to get in Ohio for a decade. My husband and I had blizzards in chocolate-dipped waffle cone, a cherry-dipped dilly bar, and two hot dogs. Everything that came out of the old-fashioned ice cream shop window was made with obvious care and exacting attention to detail. The prices were half or less than I would expect anywhere else. I even had a nice chat with the owner while we waited for our order to finish (through the window, of course). If you live in or are planning to travel through the Fargo, ND/Moorhead, MN area or any of the surrounding states, do yourself a favor and visit...
Read moreStaff are extremely disrespectful. The girls here will charge you more if they don't like you. We used to come here all the time because of the ice cream. It used to be a fun place to take the kids to enjoy a great treat but the disrespect shown from these young woman day after day shows a very large lack of professionalism considering it's one of the most famous dq's in the country. One girl tried to charge me 8$ for a side of crunch on my cone! 8$ are you kidding me. All 3 of my young children agree these employees are extremely disrespectful. The music they play from 8-10 is garbage and not family friendly. The owner is an awesome man and very polite but 85% of these young women are snobby and disrespectful. They never smile at you. They never say thank you or have a good day. They don't greet you. It's like they absolutely hate their job. My 9yr old and 8 year old both agree the ice cream is delicious...but the service is better at McDonald's. That...
