Chances are that whenever you decide to go out for a special meal, you choose a restaurant where you can sit down, open a menu, and choose from a huge array of options. The ambiance, service, and food all add up to a dining experience. But sometimes, it’s fine to go with something simpler. Instead of heading out to a pricey sit-down restaurant, why not visit somewhere more tried-and-true? There’s one Dairy Queen in Minnesota that is worth a special trip. You’ll get all your favorite treats in a setting unlike any other in the world.
Moorhead Dairy Queen is located at 24 8th Street South in Moorhead, Minnesota. It has been open since 1949!
During summer months, the best place to enjoy your treats is at one of the retro picnic tables next to the building. They're great for enjoying a warm day - and for people watching. This DQ gets busy.
This goes back to the original 1949 contract, which is still in effect today. Because of this contract, the owners are free to offer treats that you just can't find in other Dairy Queens.
For example, have you ever heard of a Monkey Tail? You can only get it at Moorhead DQ! Of course, they have old favorites at the ready, too. From banana splits to Oreo Blizzards, this DQ has you covered.
In addition to unique treats in an old-fashioned setting, visitors of this Dairy Queen can also enjoy its one other claim to fame. Moorhead Dairy Queen is where the Dilly Bar was invented!
