    I've gone every day this year but Four since myself and my son got sick. Couldn't wait to go enjoy Dairy Queen. The employees are absolutely the best.

    It strikes me as odd, that I was one that got a chocolate shake, and it cost more than the blizzard my companion had. It was an average type of ice cream shop, the wait was average, per customer, but given that we were there mid day, it was an average wait, as there was a few people in teon of us. The blizzard was a mess, and didn't need to be, it was like the ice cream was slung all over, and by the time we left, it was melting down the side of the blizzard cup. My shake was more liquid than mix of ice cream and milk, and it cost more than the ice cream with toppings! Not sure I'll journey back here for this, but maybe I'm just disappointed in the ice cream ratio I remember from years ago, the whipped cream is a nice touch, but honestly, Ice cream is a better touch.

    I ordered a large vanilla shake and was not disappointed. Although not a Frapp, it most certainly hit the spot for me. :)

    Very poor customer service. The person running the drive thru was rude and cut us off as we were trying to order and then when we got our food they didn't give us the hot fudge sundae we ordered

    This location seems to fail to maintain their slush machine, Its been several times my husband and I went for Misty’s or orange Julis and after waiting in a long drive through line and been turned down. That’s all we wanted, then been stuck in the line unable to pull away because of poor design of the drive up. I think we will just stop coming.
