Dairy Queen - Paintsville

Had a banana split and of course it was delicious as always. The employee that took our order was very friendly and nice. The seating area is outside and covered but it needs to be better taken care of they was parts of the metal seats that was brokenand could definitely cause some serious injuries and it looks pretty run down these days. So if you do visit please keep an eyeout for parts of broken tables so you or a family member don't sit on it and get hurt

The absolutely best hot dog sauce on earth. This sauce should be literally sold in stores. Put your hands down.

It pains my soul deeply that the Paintsville Dairy Queen has anything less than a solid 5.0 stars. Personally, I think that speaks more to some of the reviewers but I digress... The Paintsville Dairy Queen is legendary and for very good reason. Unless you 've spent significant time in Paintsville, this Dairy Queen is unlike any DQ that you have ever experienced. Folks still take your order manually, jotting down on paper and doing the math to total it up (no calculators), then you 're handed a paper slip with a three digit code that will be announced over the loudspeaker. If the vintage ambiance and Outlaw DQ vibe isn 't enough to win you over, the food will. From a genuine Paintsville native, here 's the quintessential Paintsville DQ order: Foot long hotdog with sauce and slaw Onion rings Butterscotch or peanut butter milkshake Some fellow natives claim that the meat sauce recipe has changed significantly from the 90s. Rumor has it, the lady responsible for the recipe a Slone, I believe took her patented meat sauce formula to the grave with her. Be that as it may, whatever recipe is in effect now works also satisfies, at least in my book. However, I 've only been able to visit Paintsville once or twice annually since moving away in 2003, so nostalgia admittedly makes me an easy grader. Parking: Paintsville isn 't very busy and most seem to get their orders to go, so parking isn 't an issue. Even if it is, there are other parking lots nearby from which you can walk. Kid friendliness: This place is so wholesome. It 's great for kids.

If I could give zero stars I would. I ordered a chicken wrap. First bite the whole piece of chicken, came out of the wrap and was too tough to even eat. Service: Take out Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $10–20 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
