How to Customize a DQ Kids’ Meal
If your child prefers simple food, ask for a plain hamburger or choose chicken strips with the dipping sauce on the side. Pick applesauce or banana if your child prefers fruit. If you’re ordering online, review the final selections for the side, drink, and treat before checkout.
If you want a Mini Blizzard instead of the kids’ cone, look for a swap in the order builder or ask the store whether it offers one and what it costs. Availability and any extra charge are store-specific.
Food Allergies, Gluten, and Non-Dairy Options
A blank allergen entry in DQ’s chart describes the item row. DQ warns that cross-contact can occur in its restaurants and says it cannot guarantee that a prepared item is allergen-free. For an allergy or gluten-related restriction, tell staff which ingredient you need to avoid and ask how the exact item is prepared, including whether it uses shared equipment.
DQ sells a Non-Dairy Dilly Bar made with coconut cream. The ingredient list also includes soy lecithin. If you are considering it for someone with an allergy, check the wrapper for the current ingredients and allergen statements. Ask the store whether it can be purchased separately or substituted for the kids’ cone.
