DQ – Grill & Chill

There was a mutiny in our household today! We were driving home from a friends house and I was trying to think of a convenient, interesting place to stop for my new place of the day.  Dairy Queen yells my daughter and just like that we’re off to Dairy Queen! Fine, just fine, Dairy Queen it is.  This particular Dairy Queen is located at 2110 Mildred Street West, Tacoma.  The small chocolate dipped vanilla cone I ended up with had 330 calories, which was less than I would have guessed.

Per Wikipedia, the state with the most Dairy Queens is Texas, which makes sense since it is a large, often hot state. As of last year, there were more than 5,700 Dairy Queen locations in 19 countries. The legal name has been DQ since 2001. The parent company that owns DQ also owns Orange Julius.
