9 Best Fast Food Restaurants near Divernon

“I stopped in today with my daughter. It has been many years since we've dined at this location due to it being out of the way.The employees were great! I encourage my 9 year old to order her food for social practice. The 2 working today were very friendly and helpful.Once one of them heard she had a leopard gecko for a pet, the stories and pet pictures came out. When we left, she asked, "Can we come here again? That guy was really nice!"Great job!

Kid-friendliness: The staff made my 9 year old feel important and walked her through all of her options for the sandwich, toppings, and sides!“

“Delicious! Great treat for the summer :)“

“Went to DQ tonight with my 3 littles and had a great experience. The young staff was very friendly and attentive and kept smiles on my children’s faces.“

“It is very clean and friendly employees fresh food. A little wait but not too bad. The worst part about this place is the location. Trying to get out of the parking lot and back on the main road without a light is quite difficult but I still insist on using this one.“

“Check before you leave! Wish I had! Got home and noticed that I not only did not receive the extra cheese I paid for, I hardly received the normal amount! Bummer!“

“Back in the late 70's, 1970's that is, a girl I worked with down in Carbondale introduced me to one of my favorite treats, the chocolate-banana malt. Let me tell you that DQ made a terrific one that I have found it difficult to come close to at any other DQ's.

However, within 20 or so miles of me there at least 5 or 6 DQ  locations that I have tried BUT NONE HAVE MATCHED consistently the DQ in Virden, Illinois!!

Let me explain.

For the most part the staff are teenagers, probably still in school (I usually come by this location on the way home after 8pm, or, occasionally I will have lunch there and a supper.)

What makes this location standout are these young adults. I assume they are local, and I'm not faulting anyone else there who are older, it's just that as a group these "kids" (I'm in my late 60's) are some of the most genuine, caring and hard-working individuals you will ever have the fortune to meet.  And by God, they will create the best treats and other food items just the way you want them AND their attitudes are upbeat and positive.

I just can't say enough about them. It's personal for me when it comes to service and the quality of what you order and they deliver!

While I am not riding around on my Honda 350 and stopping by for my chocolate-banana malt like I did 43+ years ago , they make it seem like I am back at SIU-C and living life with a smile.

Thank you Dairy Queen in Virden, Illinois for allowing me to not only harken back to a simpler time with good people who aren't angry AND putting a smile on my face while I savor the items I order from you.“

“Not much I can say that folk don’t know about the most popular fast food restaurant in the world. Locally, they employ a lot of teens and it’s typically their first job. Remember this when you want to complain. They’re largely doing their best. The food… it’s McDonald’s so again you all know what it is.“

“Very nice staff! One of the employees helped an elderly couple get from their car to inside the restaurant.“
