Daisy Queen

If I was on death row and tomorrow was the big day, I’d want one of these hamburgers. The claw machine is rigged but the swiss steak sandwich is to die for. A local treasure!

I Love this place !! Very clean & a home town feel. Burgers to shakes fries to tots it is Perfect.

Really good Angus burgers, especially for the bargain prices. Most are under $ 5. The shakes are also good and come in several flavors, though the butterscotch was too mild, I thought it was closer to vanilla.
The venue is a bit unusual, with a classic walk up service window and outside seating. It’s got a front dining section with restrooms you have to step up into. In the back there is is a game room with a few more tables. It has pool tables, air hockey, video games, and even pinball.
The tables were sticky and the place needs updating. The service was weak the first time we visited, but improved the second time when it wasn’t just youngsters working.
I’m still trying to decide if the food overcomes the shortcomings. Yeah, I think the burgers get them there Still, it wouldn’t be too hard to step up training and make cleaning a priority.
Food-​4 stars, service-​3 stars, building-​3 stars, cleanliness-​2 stars.

Classic dairy bar. I had a double burger with onion rings. My companion had a single burger and seasoned fries. We both had Pepsi. I ordered mine with pickles only and my companion had a bacon cheeseburger with everything but pickles. The bums had a nice crispy edge, I suspect from some time on the grill. They came exactly as ordered. My ONLY complaint was that mine had exactly two pickle slices on it. Mind you they were a high quality pickle but only two slices just wasn’t enough. Meanwhile, my companions burger was loaded with toppings. The meat was a very high quality but could have used a little seasoning. Of course no seasoning is better than the ton of salt a lot of places mistake for a well seasoned burger. They advertised that the burgers were angus beef and I believe it. High quality taste and not greasy at all. My companion enjoyed hers as well. The onion rings were batter coated and were good but could have used a little longer in the fryer, as could have her seasoned fries. They were nevertheless tasty. The service is top notch and the place was spotless. The restrooms were very clean as well. They have a HUGE menu so there is something for everyone. I will without a doubt be stopping on my next trip to Marshall.

I grew up with this place. I always love to go back. Not sure what’s in the pizza burger but it’s good. The hamburgers are excellent. Get a milkshake to go with your order.

This is a fantastic place to stop on the way to Harrison.
However — I don’t know where Phyllis R ate, but it certainly couldn’t have been at the Daisy Queen. A plain hamburger is $ 2.49. The largest burger there is the Triple, and it’s $ 5.44,

The food was okay but pricey. Hamburger and fries were $ 14 and the order of fries was very small. I guess the lack of competition allows them to price high. The service was so very slow. Don’t stop if you are in a hurry. This is not fast food.

I love the daisy queen! Classic drive-​in food, plus a game room with air hockey, pool tables, video games, and a jukebox complete the experience.

I drove into Marshall, Arkansas late one evening, looking for a cheap place to sleep and a good place to eat. Driving from one end of town to the other, I was disappointed to find that there were very few options, and most of those were national chains – Subway and Pizza Hut being the most prominent. Asking around about a local restaurant, everyone pointed me the same direction – to the «Daisy Queen» that sits on the main drag, Hwy 65. I had noticed the place, but burgers don’t generally interest me. Not willing to partake of the familiar fare of Subway or Pizza Hut, I reluctantly ducked into the Daisy Queen. The décor certainly wasn’t much to speak of – but the food, Oh! The food! I ordered a cheeseburger the first time I visited (since then, I’ve gotten the double cheese, figuring if I’m going to kill myself with cholesterol, I might as well go whole hog) and it was absolutely terrific! It could have proudly served as a template for hamburgers everywhere. I’m not certain whether I might have on some rare occasion had a burger this good before, but I’m certain I’ve never had a better one. It was fabulous – juicy, tender and full of flavor. The fries were definitely superior to those found in national chains, and the pineapple milkshake was excellent. I also ordered another side that first time which I can no longer recall with certainty, but it was good as well (perhaps stir-​fried veggies). That is another thing this place has going for it – many more choices than you’ll find at your national chain (including whole wheat buns to give one the illusion of eating healthy). I sat there, chomping away – lost in a reverie – reveling in the wonderful assault on my taste buds. A throwback to the burger joints of yesterday, only better. .. though without the poodle-​skirts.
Since I originally wrote this review, a McDonalds has opened its doors in Marshall. If you ever find yourself passing through Marshall, do yourself a favor and pass by the golden arches in favor of the vastly superior fare of the Daisy Queen. I stop by every time I visit Arkansas. You would do well to do the same.

There are very few places like the Daisy Queen left any more. A real classic among the generic eateries of modern America. Just do yourself a favor and slow down while your driving through Marshall and stop at this place for an awesome double or triple cheesburger. Just like you remeber when you were a kid. Everything comes wraped up in paper with a toothpick in it just like 1966. I have driven by this place for years and never stoped. Now its a rare trip up to the Ozarks that I dont go to Daisy Q. Also Frito Pie on the menu! A true southern classic.

Large juicy burgers and homemade onion rings. Regular order of onion rings is a little on the small side, but they offer a double order. Might wait till you eat your burger to see if you want more. French fries are good crinkle cut style. They have several kid’s meal options too. Catfish and a variety of different sandwiches are available along with salads too. Of course a place like this has to have ice cream and milkshakes. Classic, delicious affordable local drive-​in burger joint. Much better than the chain restaurants in town. You can get those anywhere. Stop in on your way through or when coming to float and explore the Buffalo River. Sweet local people with big smiles are eager to serve you. This may become a regular place for us when we’re in the area.
