Dairy Queen

Update: La Grange Dairy Queen is now completely remodeled into a modern style. The DQ has the same staff, and locals still mostly go through the drive through for ice cream and drinks, or food for supper after getting off from work. This restaurant is increased in size, it seems, for dining inside now. It is "new", clean, and still has "happy tastes good" style ice cream and and food. This store is still a favorite with the local citizens of La Grange. This is a good place to stop if you need a rest stop while passing through town.

Update 6/6 Still excellent service by an outstanding crew! The ladies running this location deserve a round of applause! Not only did they hustle, but they knew ever customer by name. The service was quick and fantastic and I enjoyed my visit. Even better, they obviously have an older gentleman who comes everyday for coffee and to see the care and effort they put in to making that man feel special was just beyond belief. There's still some good in the world!

I stopped by on 10/9/2021 at 12:03. The drive-through and dining room were fairly busy but the young men working there were doing a great job handling the traffic. Evan took my order and brought it out front to me. He was courteous and professional. It was really cool to see some young guys hustling. They deserve a round of applause. And the fries were hot and the burger was delicious.

Every small town has a Dairy Queen. And La Grange is no different. Each of these small towns' Dairy Queens has a variety of menu items that may or may not be available at other locations. When I stopped at this location, I was surprised by several items I had not seen before -- fish baskets (well, at least outside of Lent season), chili dogs, patty melts, nachos, taco salads, and an actual chicken fried steak dinner. Had I been stopping for more than something sweet, several of these items would've tempted me. But today was just a vanilla shake. That in itself was good -- but I was especially impressed by the young men working at the counter. One of the team was already preparing my shake before I'd even finished my transaction. With service like this, I'm making a note to try this location for the huge variety of lunch and dinner options.
