    My burger was okay. Dairy Queen burgers have never been my favorite. My fries were wonderful and my kids chicken strip baskets were delicious. All are ice creams were great. The best thing about this establishment is how clean it is. You can tell they take pride in making it a nice place. Probably the cleanest fast food restaurant I’ve been to in many years. I’d probably just not order a burger again.

    So they advertise they close the doors for dine in at 8pm Saturday 5/31/25. At 758 pm I walked up to the dining room door only to find it locked. The less than motivated staff deliberately ignored me until 759 or 800. Only to then tell me they close the doors at 800. I believe this is unacceptable on any level. They then proceeded to tell me I could go through the drive through. At that time I stepped to the side so all 3 of the employees who were obviously not working and proudly pointed at my bucket truck that stands 12’4” tall. They would not have been happy. So they tell me to walk through the drive through. As a disabled veteran I find this absurd and ridiculous. They need to get Americans in there that pride themselves on serving a small community.
