Have to supplement my dairy craving with stake and shake happy hour shakes which are very good.
The Dairy Queen stores have options from the corporation as to the ice cream mixture they want to use. Too many stores choose the least expensive to save money and consequently put out a poor product. I tried both dairy queens here in the Villages, their soft serve was not up to par with what Dairy Queens once served. In addition their sandwiches were over priced. When these two things happen, they can kiss their business good bye.
