Dairy Queen

[kwhey]

Last time I got to go to a Dairy Queen was in 2012 in Hot Springs, AR. Man, talk about bring back some good memories and the Blizzard was AWESOME!

As much as I hate to have another fast food joint in Moore, I do crave DQ when they flash their ads on TV. Will admit the wife and I drove to Chickasha one night for some special they had going

That's nowhere near as silly as countless amounts of beer drinkers making treks out of state just to buy "six point" beer.

I don't drive to Texas specifically for this, but whenever I'm south of the border I always make it a habit to pick up a few cases.

FYI don't buy BMC (bud/miller/coors) out of state thinking you're getting a beer that's twice as strong (you aren't). If you're after light beer, don't even waste your time, gas, or money buying it out of state, the difference in ABV in OK and any other state's light beer is so insignificant there's no way you'd even notice a difference.

Oh isn't that the truth right there. Just drink an extra beer and that really is the extent of it.

I understand it's not double, but at the end of the day it's still higher. So if I'm there and near a walmart, I'm still going to be picking it up.

Not trying to beat a dead horse here, it's just a pet peeve of mine, the misconception of OK's mass produced American lagers vs other states that is. I'll leave this last statement, get off my soap box and quit derailing the thread here...

Texas Bud = 5% ABV
OK Bud = 4% ABV

Texas Bud Light = 4.2% ABV
OK Bud Light = 4.0% ABV

If you're drinking TX Bud because you're looking for a more flavorful beer, well, you can achieve that in a multitude of ways here in OK, chances are while supporting a local brewery or brewpub too! If your drinking it because you just want to get buzzed, reconsider the previous point. I've swayed many BMC drinkers over to the 'dark side' with craft beer and homebrew, much to their delight, when realizing more flavorful options in a wide array are available just down the street. At that point drinking beer often becomes quality over quantity.

OK, that's it, I'm done!

Wow.... I've seen some threads get derailed before but this one has become one big intoxicated wreck.

[bille]

heh, that tends to happen when beer talk gets brought up. That said, I'm 100% at fault for bringing beer into the conversation, sorry!

It's also available in liquor stores, right?

Looks like a green light to go!

Bah as far as I can tell they got rid of the steak fingers basket which was one of my favorite reasons to go to a DQ.

Cool. This is good news for Moore. It looks like it will also feature an Orange Julius.

the dq in chickasha does very gets a lot of business

[zacelliott]

The wife and I will make a trek to DQ in Chickasha about once a month or so. I grew up in an area where every town had one and I love them. The Chickasha location is always busy no matter when we go, but the service leaves lots to be desired. Countless times we've been in there and food has been cold, ice cream runny, 6 people in the kitchen, only one working, etc. Sounds like this owner is gonna keep stuff in check though and I predict the Moore location will do very well.

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner.
Although you can't get name brand domestic beer in a liquor store.
But don't those Mexicans know how to make some good beer? Not to mention Tequila.

While I have been looking, but can't confirm it, my aunt told my mother today that the Dairy Queen in Moore isn't the only one.

My aunt states one is supposedly being built here on Southside OKC, northside, Del City, and of course Moore. In my recent phone conversation with my mother, she stated that they did clear off some land next to Del Rancho on 59th and Santa Fe.

I thought I'd run it by everyone here, as generally, people here are more in the know. So, anyone know what's being built next to Del Rancho on 59th and Santa Fe? Could it be the Dairy Queen we're supposed to get on Southside OKC?

While I have no info on that location in particular, it surely makes sense to me that there would be a plan to build multiple locations around town if a new business group has decided to take the plunge. I'm not sure 59th and Santa Fe would be my choice - my trick knee tells me somewhere farther south and west would be more likely. There is an outparcel on SW 104th and May that's begging for something, although they may not want to go in next door to a McD's. There's also a spot next to an existing Sonic on SW 89th and May that could be a possible spot, and just as I type this, I remember seeing a brand-new "SOLD" sign on a parcel immediately west of QDoba on the north side of SW 104th west of Pennsylvania. That had been rumored some time ago to be a Sonic location, which obviously never happened, so a DQ there wouldn't be a ridiculous guess at all.

As I said, I have no info at all, just some hopeful speculation. I know DQ isn't exactly prime on the "smart" food choices list these days, but I for one am delighted they're coming back to OKC.

Blizzards, for the record, rock.

[megax11]

That's about the only thing I ever got from DQ. I just want one on southside, because southside deserves... SOME love at least. I am more curious than anything, where my aunt found out this information. She was the first to tell anyone in my family about the one in Moore, so I don't want to say she is lying, but the curious side of me wants to know WHERE she got this info about 3 more locations being built?

[MFracas84]

I hope that it is true that Del City could be in the running.

While waiting for some other stuff to grind, I took a moment to snoop the permits for OKC and the only thing I could find along 59th that sounded like it might be in that area was for a Family Dollar store at 2 SW 59th, but I have no idea if that's the right property. It would be on the correct side of 59th (south) by virtue of its number, and I think that Del Rancho is located at 16 SW 59th.

I've heard that the owners of the Jersey Mike's on 19th street in Moore are actually the ones that are opening up the Dairy Queen (also on 19th). They expect to have it open by January 1.
