    I'm not sure what it takes for a Dairy Queen to fix or replace it's chocolate ice cream maker. But, I know for certain that the Waukee dairy Queen has not fixed theirs in about 6 months. You make ice cream treats. You literally can't do the one thing you're supposed to do. One star.

    We went through the drive through today to get a cherry dipped cone and we had our dog in the car and he said was out the window. We told them it was his 5th birthday and they came back with a pup cup for him!

    I went to Dairy Queen (Waukee) last night 10 ish minutes before close with my boyfriend. We both ordered blizzards, he got heath and snickers, I got the new chocolate dipped strawberry (none of which comes with any nut product which is important for later). As I finished about 1/3 of my blizzard I noticed I was getting any of the cheesecake, chocolate or strawberry in the scoops I was eating. The other 2/3 of the blizzard was just vanilla icecream with none of the mix ins? Anyways as I got to the bottom I also got a piece of Reese’s cup, luckily I don’t have a nut allergy. But anyways if I wanted to pay $7 for vanilla ice cream I would’ve just gone to aldi and gotten two 48 oz pints at that rate.
