First of all I want to say that Dairy Queen is one of my favorite restaraunts. However, the quality of this location is hit and miss. Today I ordered via Door Dash, a 6 piece chicken strip basket with gravy. 5 of the 6 pieces were very small with one being smaller than my thumb. The other 4 pieces were not much bigger. I get that you can't control the size of what's being cooked, but come on. If you are serving this to a customer, throw in an extra strip that is decent size. It's not going to break the bank on the Dairy Queen franchise because you added one more to make up for the sorry excuse you call a "tender". Also, the gravy was very watered down. It dripped of the toast and chicken. I don't recall other locations being like this. One last question. Why can't I order a kids meal online for my kid? The option is there but doesn't allow me to add it. Don't tell me it's to stop adults from getting it for themselves. Hopefully the manager passes this information to the staff and things will change.
**UPDATE** You didn't answer my question about the kid's meals. Just another generic response like the others.

Employees are rude and aggressive, plus you have to ask for a key to use the restroom, there are no signs stating this, so my daughter waited outside the door for several minutes. The employees just don't care.

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
