I'm convinced that this is the best Dairy Queen in the city. I have visited the one in the Beltline a few times, and I'm certain they go out of their way to express just how inconveniencing I am for coming in and ordering. Not so at this one.
This DQ still operates with primarily teens in what is likely their first job on the front lines. Unlike other businesses that have this, though, the restaurant management has what seems to be great training and oversight. Everyone I've encountered there in the occasional quest to quell a Blizzard craving seems to actually give a crap about their job. It's a nice experience.
