You probably had your first soft serve at Dairy Queen (maybe the best you’ve had). DQ restaurant serves more than soft-serve. But before your next visit to Dairy Queen, take a look at the allergen menu first.
An allergen menu is quite different from the main menu. You can call it a guide that keeps you from wishing you never visited a restaurant.
Ahead, you’ll find all the items on DQ’s menu and the allergens they contain. Also, this menu will guide you to enjoy a good meal at DQ while staying within the limits of your diet.
About Dairy Queen
Dairy Queen is popular for its soft serve. But the restaurant also offers fast food items like its popular breakfast sandwich with egg and cheese.
Dairy Queen started in 1940 in Joliet, Illinois. It currently has its headquarters in Bloomington, Minnesota. DQ is an American chain of frozen treats and fast food restaurants owned by International Dairy Queen Inc., a subsidiary company of Berkshire Hathaway.
The restaurant started as an ice cream parlor but added fast food to its offerings later on. Besides the sundaes, signature blizzard treats, and dipped cones, DQ also offers specialty burgers, sandwiches, and tacos (if you’re in Texas).
In addition, there are over 4,400 DQ locations across the United States and about 6,800 locations globally.
When does Dairy Queen open?
Dairy Queen opens as early as 6 a.m. and is open until 10 p.m. in most of its locations.
But operating hours vary with locations and cities. You may find a DQ location that opens later than 6 a.m. and closes later than 10 p.m.
To avoid any disappointment, visit the official Dairy Queen website to confirm the operating hours of the location nearest to you. You can also walk into your local DQ to confirm the opening and closing hours.
The Dairy Queen allergen menu is a detailed compilation of all the items on the general menu alongside the allergen information of each item.
The allergen menu lists all the possible allergens each meal contains. It also carries a disclaimer that meals may be cross-contaminated with allergens. Therefore, Dairy Queen does not boast of allergen-free meals.
To dine safely at DQ, inform the restaurant of your allergies while ordering your meal.
