    Probably the nicest little Dairy Queen we have been to and the girl who waited on us was delightful! All the food we got looked and tasted wonderful. Could not recommend more! We will be going back.

    Stopped by yesterday for some food but I haven’t been there since the summer time with my kids, when I was here yesterday it was chaotic, no gloves were being worn and it was just plain dirty, it was way better over the summer time when they had some kids working for them, but it’s just plain dirty now.

    Facility dirty. Every order I’ve received has been messed up. No gloves when handling food. Done going there. Drive farther.

    The guy who served me was kind & courteous, however, my burger & fries were cold. My cheese wasn't even melted on the burger..and cold fries. 😕 I hardly eat outside of my home because it's costly & every penny counts. I wasted $10.50 at your establishment today & I don't think I will be back, although I doubt it matters.
