    Went through the drive thru to get dinner tonight. The first time there was very little communication. Drove 15 minutes back home just to see they forgot one of my cheeseburgers. Drove back to get it and the guy that was bagging the food tried to argue with me that he knew it was in there "I put it right on top." I informed him I only got 2 of 3. He then finally got me another one. I promise I would make an extra 30min round trip for a cheeseburger.

    Customer service is always so nice. Food was steaming hot. Ice cream is always great. Tip: if you can finish a peanut butter parietal but be extremely miserable afterwards, order the hot fudge sundae with peanuts instead. Yum!

    Went through the drive through to get a kitty size dipcone, price was $3.80 - i told them to keep it. We all need to stand up to these prices and do without things that we love. That is ridiculous.There is not even a oneHalf cup of ice cream in a kitty size.

    We love DQ and their ice cream. However, this location has been having issues with Mobile orders. This was our second time ordering via DQ mobile app and picked up by drive thru and it took them 20 mins in total to locate the order and then make the order. 20 mins waiting in the drive thru is excessive. I’m not sure if the employees know how to manage mobile orders and if more training is needed but there are more issues ordering via mobile app than just casually driving thru which there are no issues with that. I believe one of the orders was made incorrectly but we waited so long and didn’t want to bother anymore. I hope they can improve their mobile order system or just don’t offer it at all if they will take longer and get the order wrong still. That’s the only issue. However, the quality of the ice cream is good here.
