Dairy Queen Grill & Chill — Restaurant in Saint Joseph

Basic fast food burger. Good fries.

Original Cheeseburger 1/3 lb Signature Stackburger - $8 (meal): A basic fast food burger. Nothing special. They don’t have anything unique, but if you are there for the ice cream, it is not a bad burger.

Each patty is 1/6 lb and seasoned with the standard salt and pepper ratios (maybe a tad on the lighter side). The bun appears to have a butter coating on top, but it was not especially noticed in it’s flavoring. The cheese was melted and not terribly sharp. This burger comes with just ketchup, mustard, and pickles (which I always skip).

Fries (included in the meal deal): These were actually a bit better than standard fast food. They were plenty warm and a great standard fry texture. Not too much salt. Great flavor. Medium cut.

Coke (included in the meal deal): Mediocre. I am finding that these touch screen machines are typically a bit off calibration and this one was no exception. It was not drastically off, but it left something to be desired from standard bottle Coke or standard dispensers.

This was a generally filling meal and I don’t regret trying it.

Service: Ready and quick to take my order. The meal did take a while to get. They give you a small number sign and bring your meal to your table. I’d say it took about 8 minutes to get my meal and there was no line when my order was taken. They were fairly pleasant and kind, though.

Atmosphere: Modern and clean. I sat in a more secluded section of the restaurant on the northwest side of the building. There is a door and foot traffic, but it is used a lot less than other entrances. There was some older pop/rock music playing, but it was kept fairly quiet. They have standard tables and chairs as well as high tables and chairs. They may have had booths, but I cannot remember for sure.

Conclusion: Not bad for a burger, but not great. I think the price was fair.

Had an absolutely awful experience, we ordered a 4 piece chicken tender, we arrived at the resterant and was happy to see that it was slow this should have been my first warning, when we arrive we have 1 guest infront of us they ordered an ice cream then ask what we need we tell them and begin the wait, the icecream is served to the family and then after my order around 5 min later they took a group of 3 peoples order, totally normal I get it, another 10 min and now im wondering what happened to those prized tenders, did they fall, reincarnat or just simply run away. After another 5ish min of pondering this question and asking how the progression of my order was going I was completly ignored by the cashier, then after they walk away they retrieve the order of the people who ordered behind me fries drinks the works, now I completely understand chicken is a food that one must be very careful cooking with certain cook times and temperatures however this is now 25 min after my order. After another 5 min of being ignored and being made a fool of I simply gave up my endeavor. Congrats dairy queen for you have turned me into a court jester as I am a fool to have believed my order was being worked on. Arrival time 11:25 am Exit time 11:55am on the...

This location needs to speak to the daytime manager about COMMUNICATION. My coworker and I go there for lunch on Wednesday. Only to find the Door Locked. They were open, but the door locked. We found a door by the drive though open... but after waiting several minutes... we were told the dining room was closed due to being understaffed. Which is understandable. We we said" Oh OK But Just so you know, There is not a sign on the door explaining that. Maybe you should post one to explain." She didn't respond. Just turned and went back to work. We went to Qudoba next door and sat at the outside table to eat. In the 30 mins we were there....we watched 23 people PARK, GO TO DOOR, LOOK FOR SIGN, LOOK PERPLEXED and then LEAVE. There were even 2 police officers who looked in the windows like there might be something bad going on. They NEVER posted a sign. Such a SIMPLE thing to communicate to your MANY customers, most likely ON LUNCH and working against a time clock. The manager needs to Do Better. I know I doubt I will waste my lunch hour on a place that doesn't have any consideration for...
