  Super sad. Paid 12 dollars for two ice cream cupcakes from this location. We got them premade in the freezer. We got the same thing last week from Streator Dairy Queen and they made it fresh for us and they gave us an entire full cup of vanilla on top as compared to this shop where they scraped the ice cream at the base so you barely get any. If I wanted old ice cream I would have went to the store. And then I was told to just pick two from the freezer, not given a bag or anything. This was a huge letdown in care and customer service compared to this location in the past where as the owner has been so giving.

  Got the blizzard, they make it PERFECTLY unlike other restaurants I’ve seen and been too. The line is only filled when school is over, but that also makes it amazing to eat with friends here. The seats outside are perfect to sit on too.

  The blizzard was really great. There is only one employee and he’s doing great alone. Way to go DQ

  National Free Cone Day (3/19) has officially become a family tradition for us and this DQ handled the chaos like a boss (mark your calendar for next year!). This is our second time participating (but 1st time at this location), and per usual, it's a hit with the kids. On a normal day, I imagine this location has your typical flow of customers. But on National Free Cone Day? It felt like every suburban Streamwood teenager showed up at once. We came around 5:30 PM after school, and there were lines out the door. That said, major kudos to the staff for handling the rush so well. They were clearly prepared, with batches of vanilla cones ready to go. The line moved quickly, and our wait was only about 5-8 minutes which is honestly not bad at all considering the crowd. You can get a free vanilla cone (no purchase necessary), but we opted to dip ours for $1 each both to support the business and the Children's Miracle Network. Plus, how do you say no to a chocolate-dipped cone? It's a great deal considering dipped cones usually range from about $3.79 to $5.49 depending on size. This year, they really expanded the dip flavors. In addition to classic chocolate, they offered cherry, confetti, mint crunchy cookie, and cotton candy. My husband and I stuck with chocolate (a classic for a reason). Our kids went with mint crunchy cookie and cotton candy. My oldest loved the mint crunchy cookie which was decent, and my youngest was all about the cotton candy. The cotton candy was definitely on the sweeter side, it's not for me but kids love it. Personally, chocolate is still my favorite. Seating inside was completely full, so most people grabbed their cones and headed out. Groups of kids and families were standing outside enjoying their treats, and with the weather in the upper 50s, it actually felt perfect for a pre-spring outing. They do have restrooms available, though we didn't use them. I also noticed several freezer cases stocked with ice cream cakes and treats for purchase. You can also check out their cake design book for custom ice cream cake orders. Honestly, the inner child in me will always want a DQ ice cream cake for my birthday -- I might have to come back for one this year. The staff was friendly and efficient, especially given how busy it was. The only small critique I noticed was the cones were shorter than usual, more of a single swirl instead of the classic taller double swirl shown in their menu (see photos for reference). But on a free promo day where they're serving a huge crowd, that's completely understandable. (They probably had to conserve stock to last throughout the day as the promotion goes till end of the night. So honestly, I'm not complaining when it was a free cone and we're donating for a good cause). Funny enough, my friend went to a different DQ in Elmhurst later that evening and got a full double swirl treatment -- she sent me a picture and it looked fire, especially with the cherry dip. Definitely on my list to try next time! All in all, we had a great experience despite the crowds. If they can handle a day like this so smoothly, I can only imagine they run just as well on a regular day. Thanks, DQ, for the treat -- my family and I will definitely be back!
