Dq Something Different.HISTORYThe founders of the Dairy Queen system were men and women who introduced a new kind of dessert treat and, in the process, developed the foundation of the franchising industry. The history of the DQ system is a story of a unique product that created an industry.A Story of Sweet SuccessFor more than 70 years, the DQ system's recipe for success has been simple. It's been a combination of hardworking people who own and operate restaurants, and great-tasting food and tempting treats served in our establishments.Our phenomenal story began with the 10-cent sale of a then unnamed product on August 4, 1938, in Kankakee, Illinois. A father and son partnership in Green River, Illinois, had been experimenting with a soft frozen dairy product for some time. They contacted Sherb Noble, a good friend and customer, who agreed to run the "all you can eat" trial sale at his walk-in ice cream store. Within two hours, he dished out more than 1,600 servings of the new dessert.Back then, food franchising was all but unheard of, but the new product's potential made it a natural for such a system. When the United States entered World War II in December 1941, there were fewer than 10 Dairy Queen stores. However, shortly after the war, the system took off at a pace virtually unrivaled before or since. With only 100 stores in 1947, it grew to 1,446 in 1950 and then to 2,600 in 1955. Today, the DQ system is one of the largest fast food systems in the world, with more than 6,000 restaurants in the United States, Canada and 18 other countries.Although much has changed in the world and in the DQ system through the years, one constant has remained: DQ restaurants are still, and always have been, the place to find kids' sports teams celebrating a victory, business people on their lunch break and families taking time out to enjoy great food and soft serve treats. And success for the DQ system is as simple today as it was in 1940. Satisfied custo...

One of a kind.

We come in to Omaha once or twice a year. We always drive over to Council Bluffs , on Madison Avenue , to eat at the Dairy Queen. We even drive over there for cheeseburgers to eat at the airport before heading back to California. The people that work there are really nice and friendly. No other place that we know of makes cheeseburgers like they do. Mustard , ketchup and pickles on a patty with soft buns. Yum Yum Their ice cream is very creamy. Not like California's ice milk. Never close this location please.

In all our travels, we've stopped at dozens. This one always gives us more bang for our buck.

Awful service

Every time I go to this dairy queen I am treated poorly. Everyone there has an attitude and if it wasn't for its location I'd be happy to never go back! And don't bother reading the hours of operation on the door, they close whenever they feel like it, usually 15 or so min early. That's a reflection of poor management. Very displeased!!

They are not opposed to servin...

They are not opposed to serving your kids old, rotten hotdogs.

They are supposed to be pink...not tan!! And there is no way they didn't know they were that old. We've been there twice and this happened both times. We will NEVER go back.
