Don’t go here!
We stopped for a late night snack and basically got 10 fries and a box drenched in grease with 14 tablespoons of mustard and ketchup. Take the extra 2 minutes to drive to Wendy’s. we live about 5 min away from DQ so the food was not sitting long. The burger buns were so drenched in grease there was no way it was edible.

Very good service at 9:30pm. I was served by a guy named "Otman" i might be wrong about the name. He was fantastic

My wife and I have been coming to this location for our weekly “date nights” to have alone time and a cheap meal. The service is always top notch (no idea what those negative reviews are on about); the food is almost always perfect (once in a blue moon we feel the fries could be cooked longer or the burgers could be hotter); and the ice cream treats are always on par.
