I just learned that Dairy Queen closed all their branches in Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau. What a pity! Nothing can be better than an ice cream after driving several hours through the desert in triple-digit heat at 3 p.m. Baker is a town in the middle of nowhere, on the trip from LA to Las Vegas. The town only has several gas stations and some fast food. I drove into a Shell station to fill up my tank, and there was a giant chair between the Dairy Queen and the gas station shop. I put the gas pump nozzle into the tank, then walked into Dairy Queen and ordered a Mint Oreo Blizzard. I waited for a while. There were only two staff members in the restaurant, with only one preparing food, and there was another customer in front of me. The room had a strange odor. I got my Blizzard after the staff flipped the cup. Back in the 1990s, when I first encountered Dairy Queen in Shanghai, I was really impressed by this flipping idea. I sat beside the giant chair eating my Blizzard. Suddenly, a group of senior Chinese people appeared. They all walked into the gas station shop. What had happened? I saw them walk out through the shop's side door and then realized there were two toilets behind the giant chair, with a tourist bus parked nearby. The Blizzard was way too sweet and lacked the cool refreshing touch that mint should provide. I guess I won't have Dairy Queen again in the near future. read more

TLDR: The one place in Baker California that I actually enjoy visiting. Solid food at a stop that is essentially in the middle of nowhere. Burgers, fried food, and ice cream. What's not to like? Chocolate brownie extreme blizzard: It's chocolate ice cream layered with brownie bits and chocolate shells. It's a hard combination to beat. The blizzard's integrity stays strong for 15-20 minutes after purchase and it stays even longer if untouched. Burgers: I've had the double bacon burger here, and it gives a very fast food vibe. It's what you'd expect from a fast food burger than a good way to bridge your hunger while on your roadtrip. Sides: Cheese curds, Onion rings, and fries. They're all standard fast food stuff. Don't expect gourmet, because you won't get it. Expect what a city fast food will give you, and you'll never be disappointed. Ambiance: It's a sizable store with ample seating. Expect a decent amount of foot traffic because it is a stop in the middle of two 50-80 mile stretches. Service: It's standard fast food service. There was a time though that the store closed earlier than the listed time. I'm not sure if it's still the case, but I didn't like being excited for DQ with 30 minutes to spare in their operating hours and being welcomed with a closed store. read more

Dairy Queen Grill & Chill - Medium Chocolate brownie extreme blizzard - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Baker, California

This DQ does not clearly display their prices, (nearly the same color as the menu) Also $12.99 for a small Blizzard. Also, for how expensive it is, it took forever. Pass on this one, no blizzard is worth this much. read more

Customer service was nice and the restaurant was clean. Came in to pick up some quick food for my kids on our way to Vegas. The chicken tenders and fries were actually pretty surprisingly good. The cheeseburger was ok. Convenient stop since the gas station is right there as well as the Tesla charging station. Good experience coming here! read more

A mini blizzard is $8.99. Let me say that again. A MINI blizzard is 8.99 at this location. I guess it's good for my waistline but definitely way above normal DQ pricing. read more

Stopped to charge and use the restroom. The DQ is right next to the bathroom so I thought I would try their frozen dessert (it is 105 degrees outside so something cold is very tempting). I got a small soft serve with sprinkles - $7.53. For a small! Yes it was cold and sweet - but not even real ice cream. Not a great value. read more

Dairy Queen Grill & Chill - Small vanilla cup with sprinkles - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Baker, California

Feel disgusting after getting food from here. Worst BBQ chicken strips I've ever had. Place felt dirty and I won't even go into how absolutely gross the bathroom was. Waste of $21.53 read more

Definitely not!!! Totally floored by the price gauging at this location!! I can understand a small difference but wow!!! Definitely never again for me!!! read more

Not worth the stop. Prices are almost double other locations, and it's hard to read. Burger was clearly reheated in the microwave.

Service was very nice and efficient. Tried the cookie crunch dipped cone! The dip hadn't fully hardened yet at first. Ice cream was extremely liquidy though even though it was only low 70s outside. Good flavor combo though. Not a fan of the price gouging due to the location. Single small dipped cone was $6.99 with tax. read more

Located at the far end of town, coming from Vegas, this location runs out of items (according to the worker, often) and doesn't honor gift cards. Not the friendliest employees and not the cleanest establishment. Maybe pass by this one and head to Barstow for your frosty treats. read more

Skip this place. We stopped to charge our car next to this Shell Station and the prices at the Dairy Queen and quickie mart inside we're absurd. Single burger small combo was $12 and a 32 ounce fountain drink was $4.30! Resist fascist price gouging! And fascists! read more

Dairy Queen Grill & Chill - Cup sized sundae for $11? This is a crappy Shell station in Baker, CA. You'd expect these at an airport, not here... - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Baker, California

The old guy worker with an accent is so rude. I asked him for a meal deal and he straight up said no. Nothing else he told me no and stared at me.. don't come here. read more

$10.99 for a medium oreo blizzard, back home it's like $7. Prices definitely way over priced on certain things.

$23.79 for a small blizzard and a large blizzard, and the ice cream was icy def not regular Dairy Queen quality. Price gouging is a real think here! read more

No AC. Sodas are flat. Prices are through the ROOF at this location. Bathroom floors wet & saturated, smelling heavily of sewage. This place is a biohazard - serious changes need to happen here read more

Power tip: no Buster Bar? That's almost unAmerican :\ Got a Blizzard instead. $9.99 for a small. Probably should do the mini to cut down on the calories read more

Dairy Queen Grill & Chill - Size of a small vs. a tiny drink cup. Probably 2-2.5x the volume - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Baker, California

I stopped here last night with hesitation since my last experiences with other Dairy Queens haven't been good. I took the chance and I'm so glad I did! My sundae was perfect, the ice cream taste and texture were spot on for me. The fries were great especially with the country gravy and the tenders were crispy and actually juicy!!! They are usually overcooked and hard. Clean restaurant and great customer service! Can't wait to come back! Fingers crossed you have the same experience read more

Watch out! This place automatically charges a 20% tip without your authorization! My sister was mad as heck! read more

Dairy Queen Grill & Chill - Receipt for ice cream. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Baker, California

Overall: 3.2/5 (dine in) We were charging our Tesla and stopped by for a late lunch. It looked like there was only 1 cook so it took awhile for our food to come out. The prices are also higher than usual. Crispy Chicken Bacon Salad: The crispy chicken was really good, crispy, and huge. The salad came with bacon, diced tomatoes, cheese, & dressing. It was a pretty good portion and filling. I would recommend it. Onion Rings: The rings were big but too heavy on the batter. Flamethrower 1/3 Lb Signature Stackburger: It wasn't bad but I liked my salad better. The beef patties were average but the buns sucked. They should probably invest in sesame or brioche buns. read more

Came here to order a chili cheese dog. Place looked clean, service was quick to take my order, but once I heard the price $6.99 before tax, I had to leave. read more

Buyer beware of the food service scams. They run up your bill for double the food, say they don't speak, charge your card attempting to get 18% gratuity, and then no refunds can be issued read more

Dairy Queen Grill & Chill - They overcharged for our order and then said they don't speak English. We paid for more than we wanted and they requested a 18% gratuity - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Baker, California

The order taker was very pleasant. The eating area was empty but clean. The person preparing the shakes that were ordered was fast and efficient. There were no other customers inside eating or waiting to have their order taken. The music playing was low and tolerable for being as empty as it was. Major complaint is the price for 2 large shakes which come close to $24 which were 24 Oz. read more

Dairy Queen Grill & Chill - Mocca shake 24 ounces - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Baker, California

$10 for a small blizzard, talk about getting over on people! I have been in here countless times on the way to Vegas and every time the tables and floors are dirty. After this last visit, I will skip this place and wait to get ice cream in Vegas. read more

Husband went in while we were charging our Tesla to buy two ice creams, one for himself and one for our daughter. When I checked our credit card bill today, I see a charge from Shell Oil for $40 and some change. I have since disputed this and am receiving a refund. Please beware of the fraud that happens here. read more

Price gouging. Small blizzard is $8.99, it is $5.99 at my local DQ. A little more is understandable due to the remote location but 33 percent is steep. Did not order and will not ever order from here. We charge here often and prefer Jersey Mikes whose prices are consistent with other locations. read more

Food is decent but it's sooo overpriced. Last time we were here, we paid $36 for 2 burgers, a small fry and small onion ring order. Whoa.

$11.30 for a small milk shake? When I asked the cashier if he was serious, he told me it's on the wall menu and "can you read"? Not sure if that's a Baker premium or DQ pricing but that's insane. read more

Got their chicken strips combo. Toast doesn't taste the same as other DQ but chicken strips was good. Came here to charge our car on the way to Vegas and was thankful to see a dq. Restroom was ok but it's convenient. read more

The price gouging is insane. Save your money. We got chicken strips, and 3 small blizzards. Almost $60 for it all. They don't have prices on the menu for a reason plus they ask for a tip when you use a card. Vegas is only like 20-30 minutes away so definitely just wait to get there. read more

What?! $10 for a soft serve cone?!?! Are they for real! Talk about extortion! I can't believe my sister paid this. The place wasn't super clean, even though they seemed to have ample employees. The prices for everything are inflated! My sister enjoyed her $10 soft serve cone, but what a joke!! Forget stopping in Baker these days. Even the gas station next door has totally unrealistic inflated prices. read more

Stopped by here to get gas then decided to have a go at the new Salted toffee BLIZZARD because we'll, i lile Dairy Queen's blizzard. FYI, I love toffee, especially salt toffee. THIS, HOWEVER, was probably the worst tasting blizzard ever. It was a straight up salt bomb that irritated my stomach. It was so bad, I was forced to teach it. IF you know me, i NEVER trash DQ BLIZZARD's. I'm sure there is some type of recipe for this blizzard. I'm also sure that the lady making my blizzard either didn't read the portions correctly or just didn't care. I'm hoping it's the first one. On a good note, the place was clean and organized. read more
