    Worst DQ experience to date. The girl got our order wrong. Asked FOUR times for two 3 pc chkn stp baskets with one blizzard, one lemonade and a side order of regular cheese curds. I only got 2 pieces for my basket. My fiancé got his 3 but they were very small. No toast or fries with either of them. To make it worse instead of reading back what was on her screen she just doubled the drinks and blizzard and obviously replaced fries with cheese curds. Then had someone else take care of our order. I had my fiancé pay for it just so we wouldn't hold up the line. But very ridiculous and very disappointing. First time here and NOT a good impression especially being a former DQ manager and employee of 6 years.

    It was clean and there was plenty of staff to get quick service. Only complaint is the drive through is not convenient with the line going out to the road.
