None of the DQ's around me have the food part just ice cream (1stworldproblem!) Anywho I was near one today. So I had to get the OG Chicken Strip basket.
Firstly, Country Gravy as a dipping sauce is elite, and I can't think of another fast food place that has it. Dipping chicken strips in Ranch is cool, but peppery white gravy is a better option IMHO. They also offer Cheese Curds for a side instead of fries, they are elite. Well, I don't know about DQs, I've never had theirs. But in general, they're one of my favorite appetizers.
The Texas toast was toasted nice, the gravy was pretty good, and pretty peppery. The fries were crunchy and had the right amount of salt. This is Dairy Queen we're talking about. But as far as fast food, it was as good as I remember. Their website made a point to mention they make their Ranch in house. I have no idea if this is real or bullshit. But I got a side of it, and it was definitely a lot better than most fast food places. But I ended up mostly just dipping everything in the gravy. Texas Toast in gravy is really damn good.
I was full and over an hour from home so no Blizzard, but I used to love the chicken strip basket and a blizzard for desert. That used to be some of the best fast food eating. Before the lone DQ with food in my city closed down
