Dairy Queen - Fort Dodge

I ordered a cake for my daughter's birthday, short-term, and IT WAS PERFECT!!! I literally shed some tears of happiness! Thank you for your perfect panda cake! And the color of the teal was noticeable.

I was certainly surprised with this random find. We typically like DQs that serve food and what we expected. Except that's not that!! It was seperate with a mother n pop connected restaurant. Tom Thumb Restaurant and Bakery was excellent. I was impressed by the menu it was satisfied because it was delicious. With the bakery too full of dinner, so took a cinnamon bread to go. A unique discovery hasn't even got DQ. YUM.

We had a great day today. There were lots of laughs, drinks and great times. Many memories were made today. A family came together to celebrate a patriarch's birthday. And then the sun over DQ... WAS A DAY?...

I know this place as Tom Thumb, which is a well established restaurant and bakery. The Dairy Queen is only attached to it. My review is for Tom Thumb the restaurant. Good food, reasonable prices and good service. This place is a Fort Dodge area icon.

Your choice of good home style cooking (Tom Thumb), Dairy Queen, and full-menu drive-through. Hungry or feeding the crew? Items like fries, slaw, and cheese balls are available in measured quantities. Get there from the western highway 169 parallel road. For to-go, order everything from the north side menu sign. If you're only ordering DQ, they will tell to go to the second pickup window. It's usually okay to bypass the people in line for restaurant food. It occasionally gets funky but so does getting out and getting back to the highway. It works. Look out for the curb if you turn hard right out of the parking lot and then trust the signs or just figure it out yourself on the second try.
