Pretzel Sticks with Zesty Queso — What You Get

Every order includes several warm soft pretzel sticks and a cup of DQ's zesty queso cheese sauce for dipping. The pretzel sticks are baked soft-style — chewy, slightly salted, warm — not hard or crunchy like traditional pretzels. The queso sauce is thick, warm, and cheese-forward with a mild spicy edge. Find all DQ snack options on The Dairy Queen Menu.

Pretzel Sticks — Best Dipping Options

While the queso sauce is the standard pairing, some locations allow you to substitute or add other sauces:

  • Zesty Queso — Standard. Bold, cheesy, slightly spicy. Best overall pairing.
  • Ranch — A cooler, creamier alternative if queso is too rich.
  • Honey Mustard — Sweet-tangy contrast to the salty pretzel.

Pretzel Sticks as a 2-for-$5 Item

Pretzel Sticks with Zesty Queso are one of the eligible items in the 2-for-$5 Mix & Match deal. Pairing Pretzel Sticks with a Small Sundae for $5.00 gives you a savory-and-sweet combination at exceptional value — both items together would cost $7.78 individually.
