    I went to dairy queen with my family because we wanted ice cream at the time and though it would have been a good idea, turns out it wasn't in the slightest, I have a severe peanut allergy and I ordered an m&m blizzard and started eating it, it tasted funny and I had my friends try it and turns out it had straight up peanuts in it, I then went inside to complain about it and they said "I should have told them beforehand" im sorry that I don't go screaming around "I HAVE A PEANUT ALLERGY, IF YOU SERVE ME PEANUTS I WILL DIE" you shouldn't have made such a crucial mistake with an item like peanuts, knowing full well that peanut allergies are very common and you can kill someone, i risked my life for your mediocre ice cream

    they are the most laziest people to work at Dairy Queen. They don’t wanna make your food right and they have everything to make a blizzard, but they just don’t wanna make it. They have lost a loyal customer.

    What do you have to do to get a hot meal from this place? I got a four piece honey bbq basket and my chicken was cold. 10.84 for a cold meal is really disappointing. I'll wait awhile before I decide to go back, if I ever do.
