The place was super busy at 8:20, close to closing time. We went inside to get some ice cream. The guy at the counter was crazy busy but was still very respectful and kind to us. I have a peanut allergy and he personally made my ice cream to keep me safe, and happily spoke to us the whole time. It wasnt perfect in many ways, but the man's attitude made it a delightful experience.

I've been into this location about once a month for the last four months. Each time the drive thru was busy with hardly any customers inside. The young kids working were extremely busy trying to navigate though not only the lack of staff, but the lack of patience of the customers who were placing large orders through the drive thru then expecting the food to be ready the minute they pulled up to the window. The staff was very helpful and patient with my youngest who insisted on giving his own order. People need to remember everywhere is short staffed and these kids are out here working. Orders get messed up at every establishment, lets remember to take a step back, look at the big picture and give grace...pick and choose your battles.

It's a Dairy Queen! I have never eaten anything but ice cream at any Dairy Queen and I don't eat at these types of places often in general - but this location lives up to what I expect from a big name ice cream store. My Oreo brownie sundae was delicious & the staff was courteous and did their jobs correctly. Store was clean & had a few tables to sit at and enjoy a little down time! Can't complain.

The young man who took my order was ever so friendly. When I got to the pick up window the young man there greeted me with a wide smile and gave my pup a pup cup. Love this DQ.

Delicious and filling lunch option. Everything in my order was correct- I got a deluxe signature stackberger with a side of onion rings and fries. All the food was hot and yummy!

Had a small online order and the lady working the window offered us a drink while we wait which was really nice of her. And a different worker gave us our food and made our sides a large because of our wait. We didn’t wait longer than 3 minutes. Service was incredible and they went above and beyond every interaction at my visit

We just got the cotton candy blizzard was very good & turtle pecan blizzard w hot fudge instead of the dipped cone chocolate, which was also very good.. if you like the hard chocolate pieces w your turtle sundaes or blizzard just order like it is. I like the hot fudge I get more chocolate flavor and not crunching on hard chocolate w every bite. Both are good just a preference thing.
