Dairy Queen

I think it was a decent dairy queen. Don't confuse the three stars for hating on it; it is, after all, a corporate chain using frozen, internationally shipped ingredients. My #1 was what I expected. I ate bites of my kids' burgers and woah, just a dry, rubbery patty on a dry bun absent ketchup, mayo, mustard, cheese, and any possible topping. I suppose I could have asked for those things, but typically when options are possible service provides them at time of order. The fries were a 6/10. The mini blizzards were as expected. The kids' meal milks came with straws that required a surgeon's hands to use effectively. The facility was a 7/10 on cleanliness, a 6/10 on stocked for customer use; straws empty, ketchup smears on pump, un-bused tables, and the restroom was about the same. The area is great! Walk to the park and playground at WA Bush, or just down the sidewalks of College or Yelm. The cherry blossoms in this area are beautiful in late April/early May.

This place is decent, but the only things I will get from now on is the fried to order onion rings/ Cheese curds and a blizzard, but otherwise then that I would honestly pass. The chicken strip basket and fries combo didn't taste fresh (I could get fresher tasting/ cheaper ones elsewhere). Fries were soggy, the toast wasn't toasted (only lightly buttered). Tried to go back today for something different, but the hot dog was cold and the bacon and cheese that I added didn't feel cooked enough and wasn't melted (ended up only eating half of it before I tossed it). Like I said I will only go back for those two things.

The restaurant offers 100% transparency of the kitchen you see all of the staff not just the ones taking your order. Food is handled from start to finish by clean cut well mannered individuals. Food tastes exceptionally good being very prompt through the drive-thru as well as restaurant you can see kitchen and food start to finish from both drive through and diner

Ouch. My $5. (?) Blizzard cost $7+ when I got to the payment window. The guy said that they charge 80 cents for each additional item. I ordered a medium size with banana, pineapple, and pecans. When I order this same Blizzard in Oregon, they simply charge me for a medium. Beware of Washington state DQ's.
