    Cute seasonal Dairy Queen in Park Ridge. This may have been the first Dairy Queen I ever saw that closes in the winter (they're open year-round where I'm from). They have the same items that pretty much every DQ has--at least as far as dairy treats go--and they also have some food items like burgers and hot dogs and whatnot. It's larger than many of the DQ's that close part of the year, as it has indoor seating, washrooms, and so on. There's also a good amount of outside bench seating as well. The parking lot is on the north side of the building and has about 10 parking spaces. When you leave, pay attention to the sign so that you don't drive the wrong way down a one-way alley. So visit here and support your local high school students! Much like so many DQ's (maybe it's in their corporate materials?) they have a large crew of high schoolers working here which I kind of love, especially when it seems like it's the first job one of them has held.

    Best workers ever they are so sweet best ice cream you are the best. Service was great love the attitude.

    Half full fry

    Love their burgers and Sundays. However tonight I ordered two large fries and this is what both bags looked like. Not sure how they calculate this being a large fry. Totally disappointing.

    Double cheeseburger

    Had the double Cheeseburger and fries combo. Pretty good prices paid under 20 for 2 meals. The cheeseburger was delicious and juicy. Definitely worth it

    CHILDHOOD MEMORIES, DELICIOUS TREATS The Diary Queen always illicits childhood memories. This DQ is located on the corner of Devon at Canfield Ave., Park Ridge, IL. I ordered a medium vanilla and chocolate twist cone with rainbow sprinkles. I saw a very young girl with a vanilla cone covered in sprinkles and thought "I want a cone just like her ice cream cone!" My husband, who always gets the same treat at the DQ, got his usual. The peanut buster bar! Vanilla ice cream covered in chocolate. The inside is caramel and peanuts. A messy treat to eat! Once in a great while he gets a strawberry sundae with whipped cream and nuts. No cherry, please. Our total was $5.46 -- which is a good price point. However, if you get 2 different treats (eg, sundae, banana split or blizzard) it is over $9. A banana split is over $6! This DQ expanded several years ago. Despite the expansion it is still relatively small. There are benches in front where young children, parents and grandparents hang out. There are 6 or 7 tables inside. Their ice cream cakes are very, very good but not inexpensive. When they get ready to close for the winter they sell their ice cream cakes very, very inexpensively. If you have someone who has a birthday coming up in November or December you may want to snag one of their creamy and delicious ice cream cakes. You will save anywhere from $5 - $12! The Owner always winters in his AZ home. He is not an elderly man (maybe late 40's or early 50's). We hit up this particular DQ after seeing the movie "Blinded by the Light" at the Pickwick movie theater in downtown Park Ridge. It's an art deco theater. Beautiful. The Pickwick even has tours (architecture and art deco). This DQ has a very small parking lot (less than 12 spaces). We usually park in the street (Devon Ave.). You can also park across the street at the bank parking lot (after the bank is closed for the day). Street parking is free. The Owner is rarely here, but he was here on the afternoon we stopped by. He took our order, rolled up his sleeves and prepared my cone. Sweet! Service is efficient and welcoming. Park Ridge is an upper middle class town. There's not a lot of diversity in this town -- same situation at this DQ location. The owner is friendly. The employees are always quick at preparing your DQ treat. They are great, hardworking kids. They also serve food at this DQ (burgers, hot dogs, fries, chicken strips). My 4-star review is based on going here more than 20 times. This DQ closes for the season 1 week before Thanksgiving.

    Busy old school storefront on a pleasant summer evening

    This is a classic old school Dairy Queen, and located in a nice clean-cut neighborhood of Park Ridge. I really liked their use of a number system as the place is too small for orderly queuing and it lets folks find a comfortable spot and just wait for their number to be called. Service is friendly and quick anyway, and on a pleasant summer night, sure enough, there was a pretty big and friendly crowd milling both inside and out. As small as the place is, it does have some limited inside tables and seats, which come to think of it, many DQ's don't have I don't believe. Wife and I both had small cones (I had mine dipped), and they were plenty generous with fresh cones for the $2.09 base price. Limited street parking is easy right out front, and several patrons were parking across Devon at the TCF bank parking lot (while the bank was closed).

    This DQ is the best in all of Chicago and it's surrounding areas. The food/ice-cream here is made so good and the staff is super friendly. I definitely take the extra drive just to come here with my family

Yesterday was the first or second 70 degree day of 2026, so the weather was perfect and the seasonal re-opening of the DQ a mile away was to our advantage because the crowd was a bit quieter here and we were able to find a street spot. I think my daughter was overwhelmed when we walked in; there are lots of choices. She could barely contain herself, but I guess that's to be expected of a two year old. I got her a kiddie scoop of decadent chocolate, which she liked but may have been a bit too chocolatey for her. Or maybe she just wanted to taste a bit of mine and was done with the chocolate. I got a single scoop of the caramel ice cream. I'm not really sure if the sizes were different or if it was the size of the cup because they seemed the same. Both ice creams were so flavorful, really rich. It's a dangerous place to stop that's for sure. But next time I'm getting a scoop of each! As with almost all the South Park businesses, there's no dedicated parking. You'll look for street parking. South Park is across the street so I imagine some days at the wading pool with a stop for ice cream afterward are in our future. There's seating both in and outside; we sat outside and it was really pleasant. They have pre-portioned ice cream in a cooler inside as well as ice cream cakes, and a water dispenser as well. They have a little cart that I've seen at various functions around town as well, if you're out and about and happen upon them. You can also rent the cart for your own event! The staff were helpful, the store was neat and tidy. This is a wonderful small business in Park Ridge and we're so lucky to have them here!
