    Drove 45 miles for a pumpkin pie blizzard and they sent all the pumpkin 🎃 back cause the manager said it wasn't needed this time of year which btw is October 22. Their manager is a fun kin idi it. Also they were selling them a week ago. What time of year is supposed to be for pumpkin pie blizzards?

    I have visited here 4 times over the past 2 years. Each time hoping for improvement. Ice cream was too runny each time. The last visit it fell off the cone when it was handed to me. Service was lack luster. Won't be going back. Go to Alanson Dairy Queen if you want a great cone.

    I just can't believe how small a large ice cream sundae is, and how expensive.

    We stopped and got 2 adult combos and a kids meal. All three burgers were COLD, not just cooled off, the cheese wasn't melted and the buns were extra firm. We had already gotten back on the expressway before we discovered this and ended up having to stop somewhere else for food. My blizzard was ok but my wife's chocolate strawberry stared off great, but after the first couple bites is was chunks of chocolate and vanilla ice cream. Normally I really like DQ food, but I would, and will avoid this location.
