Y'all are some ripe jerks. Got a burger, and they intentionally dropped a dot of ranch and a single of their smallest onion ring on what was supposed to be their backyard ranch burger.
You think that's funny? Get a kick? Glad you got yourself a laugh. Next time is hands

Not sure about the low reviews, but my food was hot and ice cream cold.
Service was polite.
Perhaps a few of the low reviews are due to Islamophobia?

Poor Service and Product Quality – Dairy Queen Jacksonville, NC (1513 N Marine Blvd)
On 2 September 2025, at approximately 2:45 PM, I visited the Dairy Queen drive-thru located at 1513 N Marine Blvd, Jacksonville, NC. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing.
First, the ice cream cone I received was completely unacceptable in presentation (see attached photo). Instead of the expected Dairy Queen quality, the cone looked sloppy and unappetizing, resembling something that should never be served to a paying customer.
Second, the service was equally poor. The employee who took my order sounded entirely disinterested and disengaged. At the pickup window, there was no interaction or courtesy extended. Even after I said "thank you" as each item was handed to me, and "have a nice day" before driving off, there was no acknowledgment whatsoever. The overall impression was that serving me was an inconvenience to the staff.
To make matters worse, I was not given a receipt, which makes it difficult to document the visit properly.
I am sharing this feedback because I believe Dairy Queen should uphold higher standards in both product presentation and customer service. What I experienced was far below the level of quality one expects from Dairy Queen.
