dairy queen fall menu review: maple cookie shake and pumpkin pie blizzard, side by side

Dairy Queen is arguably most famous for its dipped soft serve cones, but when I saw this year’s fall menu, I realized that the fast food resto may shine even brighter after summer’s peak. The lineup includes two seasonal Blizzards and one milkshake, each highlighting a seasonal flavor that’s ubiquitously adored. I, a food editor, headed to the nearest location to taste the trio to bring you the following ranking, reviews and original photos.

Oh! And while I have you, DQ is offering fans a small Blizzard for just 85 cents through September 21, available exclusively through the DQ mobile app for DQ Rewards members with any purchase of $1 or more. You know what to do.
