Dairy Queen - Fort Dodge

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.

Food was awesome it's to die for cashier was very nice and courteous I reccomend it to anyone

I ordered a cake for my daughter's birthday on short notice, and it turned out to be absolutely perfect! I was moved to tears of joy! Thank you for creating such a wonderful panda cake! The shade of teal was especially striking.

I was pleasantly surprised by this unexpected find. We usually prefer Dairy Queens that serve food, but this one was different! It was connected to a charming family-run restaurant called Tom Thumb Restaurant and Bakery. The food there was excellent, and I was really impressed by the menu. Everything we tried was delicious. The bakery was tempting as well, so I took some cinnamon bread to go. It was a unique discovery, definitely worth more than just the Dairy Queen. Yum!
