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
Ana V.

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
Howard L.

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).

Ashanti S.

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

Efficient

Great place for a hot dog and a cheeseburger, let alone the smoothies and the casual atmosphere.

A Chicago institution…read more A Superdawg hot dog with fries and a chocolate malt is a perfect meal. The car hop service takes you back in time.

Flew into Chicago late, wanted a taste of Chicago but didn't want to head back into the city so…read moredecided to try Superdawg (on our list for a while). It was almost 11pm (they're open until 2am on Fridays.) and there were at least a dozen other vehicles in their drive-in stalls. Ordered their specialties, a Superdawg and Whoopskidawg with Superfries, Chocolate Super Malt and Black Kows. Service was fast and friendly at 11pm on a Friday. We were eating in our rental car in apx 10 min. It was cool to eat outside on a warm July night in a classic, 1950s style drive-in. The food was excellent, flavorful and fresh. I normally avoid krinkle cut fries because they are usually frozen and mushy or mealy. Not Superfries. These fresh cut fries were practically fried mashed potatoes. We loved them! The drinks were perfect. The Black Kows is basically a root beer float and served with an extra root beer "sidecar." Our only complaints were about errors with the garnishes. We specifically said we wanted all the garnishes on both dawgs and they only gave us the standard grilled onions on the Whoopskidawg and forgot the sport peppers on the Superdawg. Otherwise we loved everything. We might go back next week (before we fly home) because I really want to try their Whoopercheesie Burger and maybe a Supersundae. (Menu Descriptions/Prices) Superdawg Not a wiener - not a frankfurter - not a red hot - but our exclusive... Superdawg™. On a poppy seed bun, we tenderly place the loveliest, juiciest creation of pure beef hot dog (no pork, no veal, no cereal, no filler), formally dressed with all the trimmings, escorted by our often imitated, but never equaled, Superfries™. Served with all the trimmings - golden mustard, tangy piccalilli, kosher dill pickle, chopped Spanish onions and a memorable hot pepper. $9.30 Whoopskidawg Our char-broiled version of a Romanian, Hungarian, Polish sausage; basted in our special sauce, and served on a Whoopskiroll™, with grilled onion and a pickle. $12.05 Superfries For extra pleasure an extra measure of Superfries™. $4.35 or $6.95 - Try 'em with cheese! Supermalts and Supershakes A full pint of smooth creamy refreshment so thick we put straws in them only to prove that you can't draw them through. (We will gladly thin them down, if you prefer them that way.) Flavors: double rich chocolate, mellow vanilla, real-fruit strawberry or pineapple. $5.80 - Regular $7.10 - Large Black Kows A beverage--a dessert--a snack. Chunks of ice cream floating in a foamy sea of root beer. You can drink it. You can eat it. You can do both at once. $6.20

Better to go to a small independent business than to a chain. In Niles there's a place for peri…read moreperi that's not Nando's or Port Of Peri Peri. Flame On Peri Peri is a singular restaurant serving hot ass food. Kind of seems like it mixes American fast food with Mediterranean options such as chicken and falafel among protein options. This type of cuisine typically uses meat but there's a falafel option for those getting the meaty stuff. After hearing about it one time, I came here. It's located in a nice strip mall building, modern looking. This is an order at the counter type of restaurant. Has some spicy ass food. There's a sort of Mediterranean fast food kind of feel too. It's about $10 for one of the Rice Bowls. The vegan option for protein is the falafel. These were plentiful, a good value. Also you get a choice of sauce, and I got the creamy hummus. This also came with hot and white garlic sauce. It was fucking ass hot. This had serious hot peppers in there. For sure I would go here again. It's expensive so not all the time of course. There's a pretty big menu full of options like bowls, pitas, and salads, and there's options for both meat eaters and vegetarians.

I always forget to get photos of the food, but this place is great! The chicken is juicy and the…read moresauces are SO flavorful! The fry seasoning and perfect too. Never had any issues and all the guys are great. Plenty of parking in the plaza and a good amount of seating inside.
