Not being an avid Dairy Queen diner, I didn't really know what to expect. The last time I ate food (not ice cream) from Dairy Queen I recalled being disappointed so I went in with a bit of skepticism. Regardless, I thought I would give them a try tonight just to have something different.
I wasn't sure what to order but a burger was sounding good so I went with a combo number 2. That is a double burger with bacon, pepper jack cheese and spicy sauce. I have to say, I was not disappointed. It was big, fresh, juicy and pleasent tasting. It had just enough spice to make my mouth tingle amd my nose run. The bacon was a little more chewy than crunchy which is fine at breakfast but makes it difficult to eat in a burger. And half the bottom bun was soggy by the time I got home. Aside from that, this was a good burger.
The fries were piping hot hot when my bag was passed through the window. I think I burned my fingers a little. They were good fries. Not my favorite but good. Hot. Crisp. Salted just enough.
I had a touch of sticker shock when I saw the menu and heard my final price. Over $10 for this meal. For fast food that is just too much. I've complained about that before in regards to other places. When I can go to a casual dining place and get an equal or better burger for the same or lower, I take issue with that. I also take issue when fast food isn't so fast. I sat long just enough tonight to start getting irritated. The freshness of the food makes up for that. I would rather wait 5 minutes for a good burger than receive a crap burger in 30 seconds.
So am I a fan of DQ? I don't know that I would say that just yet. But its good to know I have another place to eat.
