There's some beef between a McDonald's and a Dairy Queen in Marshfield, Missouri, and it's not just in their burgers.

The local fast food joints have been trading barbs with the help of their giant restaurant signs.

It all began when the McDonald's location used its sign to say, "Hey DQ! Wanna have a sign war?"

The Marshfield Area Chamber of Commerce, which is documenting the back-and-forth in a Facebook post, has been adding photos daily of new entries in the sign war from various local businesses.

An area Wendy's recently joined in on the fun, taking a dig at McDonald's with the message: "Hot and crispy fries don't arch."

Wendy's, which famously advertises that its beef is "fresh, never frozen," also called out the competition's cooking practices:

Other businesses — from a local Mexican restaurant, fruit stand, temp agency, Domino's, Sonic, and more — have all given their two cents too.

The Domino's made a cheesy joke:

Sonic, where customers receive their food in drive-ins, wrote on a sign, "My milkshake brings all the cars to the yard." The store also referenced the feuding food joints, adding, "We have ice for these burns!"

McDonald's threw some shade back, calling out Sonic's drive-in model:

Las Cazuelas, the Mexican restaurant, wrote on a neon sheet of paper in its window, "Nacho average sign. P.S. We have fried ice cream."

The people at Arvest Bank went for a pun as they grabbed the proverbial popcorn: "Just CHECKING in on the sign war."
