Spotlight

For more than 70 years, the DQ system's recipe for success has been simple.  It's been a combination of hardworking people who own and operate restaurants, and great-tasting food and tempting treats served in our establishments.

Although much has changed in the world and in the DQ system through the years, one constant has remained:  DQ restaurants are still, and always have been, the place to find kids' sports teams celebrating a victory, business people on their lunch break and families taking time out to enjoy great food and soft serve treats!

" The 2015 Taste of Edina at The Westin was incredible. Well organized and well executed.  Also, the extra room made a postive difference to those who attended.  In my humble opinion, this was the best Taste ever."
