My husband and I visited this store almost every day in the month of October to eat ice cream and every visit was good experience. The staff that is there are some of the best we’ve encountered there and we’ve been coming for 20+ years. We want to mention one in particular who went above and beyond to make sure we, as well as everyone else, were taken care of- Jami Bailey does an exceptional job.

Don’t order delivery. The posted online delivery times are a lie. I ordered my meal to be delivered 2 hours and 15 minutes ago and the restaurant is literally 3 minutes from my hotel. The food has still not arrived. I had to call a toll-free number where I waited on hold for over 5 minutes to be connected to someone in a third world country who spoke broken English in order to cancel my order. Every time I’ve ordered from this location it at least takes 1.5 hours to be delivered but tonight will be the last time I ever patronize Dairy Queen on Jekyll Island. 👎🏻

Why do these employees hate life and their customers so much? This is a beautiful Dairy Queen to work at, even if it is attached to a gas station. I worked at a Dairy Queen in the middle of nowhere PA during high school and I know what I am asking for is not hard to do at all. Since they choose not to stock chocolate soft serve, I asked for chocolate sauce added to the blizzard. I got more specific this time because 2 days ago, they barely put any chocolate in my same order. This time I made sure to repeat they could charge me extra, please don’t worry about flipping it upside down, I know chocolate makes it a bit more liquid-y. Well, she slammed these two blizzards down on the counter like she did not gaf about the mess she just made for herself to clean up 😂 And despite charging me for 2 chocolate sauces, they couldn’t even get the chocolate in the blizzard, it was just on top, pouring over the side. Also not putting pickles on a burger when asked is super easy. She made sure there were extra pickles. These people just hate life and are taking it out on the ice cream and the people that love it. Stay clear of this one 😬
