Dairy Queen Brazier

Horrible. Ordered a large turtle pecan blizzard and a small Georgia mud fudge blizzard. received a medium turtle pecan and a small Georgia mud fudge. Turtle pecan had a total of 5 pecan fragments… the mud fudge had 3 brownie bits… spent $ 9 for essentially 2 cups of soft serve… go to the DQ in Walmart… much better

This DQ is a landmark and fixture here in Lee’s Summit. I am a big fan of their hot fudge sundaes, dilly bars, ice cream cakes and chocolate mint bars. However, I have never had more than a 3 star meal at any DQ this one being no exception. In fact, two days ago I had the toughest grilled chicken sandwich I have ever eaten. I was literally laughing as I ate the thing as I wrestled with it like a Rottweiler with a rope toy. The side salad was brown on the edges and when I returned it I told the kid it has definitely seen better days. He was polite and fixed me a fresh one. Good think it wasn’t drive through. The onion rings were alright for fast food. I am and will remain a fan but every time I eat actual food at a DQ I am reminded that they are known for their ice cream.

This DQ is old and established. It is open year round. It has indoor seating and the typical DQ soft serve and Brazier fare. Both Hubby and I like DQ soft serve and when we were in search of some desert today after our dismal dinner experience at Café Guadalajara, we opted for the comfort of DQ soft serve. Hubby had his usual Strawberry Sundae and I got my typical medium chocolate dipped cone. Both were served quickly and as expected. The drive thru service at this DQ is 5 star. Only thing that prevents this store from getting 5 stars is that the restaurant is old and the indoor seating at the booths is kinda tight. Never been let down at the Drive Thru.

Seemingly no AC on a 100 degree day. Runny ice cream. Chocolate was never fixed after 15 minutes of waiting.

Whenever I step inside DQ I’m immediately transported to my childhood. It’s a mixed bag of emotions. Like any kid, I loved a trip to DQ. Dad would devour a Peanut Buster Parfait and I would go to town on a butterscotch dip cone. However, when I was in middle school, I confronted a guy who stole my bike when I found him and my bike at a Dairy Queen — so there’s that emotion too.
When did this become a therapy session? Sorry, let me lead with the key fact on this DQ: the owners give back to the community and really care about kids in Lee’s Summit. They host high school music groups in their parking lot in the fall. If you haven’t been to a «Dairy Queen Social» put together by one of the high schools then you’re missing out.
But, with this location, there’s a weird mix of updated décor and seemingly un-​updated atmosphere and appliances. The tile finish is nice, but the door to the outside was built on top of bare concrete, clearly an after thought to keep some of the cold air out. Also, the reach in freezers, full of those delicious DQ treats, create an awkward view from a few booths as they back right up against them.
All in all, a good DQ and community oriented to boot.

I’ve been there twice first visit was poor second visit was good and quite a few people there for 830 at night.
