Dairy Queen has been around longer than I can remember, serving up a plethora of sweet stuff and appetizing food alike. \n\nThis Dairy Queen, Warm Springs/Arroyo Grande, is one of the ones that has the full menu, and isn't an \"express\" location like so many others. Many locations around town only offer an abbreviated menu, including the Boulder City location. Something to keep in mind. If you want a meal, make sure you're going to a location with the full menu.\n\nThe roster of sweet stuff is what made Dairy Queen stand out to begin with. The legendary Blizzard is a thick shake that has become the stuff of legend, and is available in TONS of varieties. There are also slushes, shakes, sundaes, cones, the list goes on.\n\nTheir \"real\" food isn't bad either. Their chicken fingers are easily among the better ones served at fast food places. Plus, they have a variety of sandwiches and burgers as well. \n\nA few minor complaints I have about this location:\n-The staff. Actually, most of them are very friendly, but I have had a few bad experiences. My order has been messed up before, and one time when dining in, my order was taken by someone who I (quite honestly) believe was mentally challenged - and I had to repeat the order several times.\n-The menu listed outside the building at the drive-thru does not have the complete list of Blizzards. Not a big deal, but there are other great flavors not listed there that are listed on posters inside the building.\n-Location. This is an extremely congested, hectic intersection and parking center, and when Green Valley High School lets out, it becomes Hell on Earth.\n-Prices. Good food, but more expensive than most fast food.\n\nBut Dairy Queen has excellent food, and at the end of the day, I'll always be eating here despite my small quibbles. Definitely recommended.
