    I came here today and the food was terrible. The fries were way too salty and not crispy at all. They tasted terrible. The chili cheese dog was terrible too. The bun was stale, the chili and the hot dog wiener was not freshly cooked either. I'm avoiding this place for now on.

    I order from Uber got the tenders with gravy and no gravy. Not to mention i went couple times before at this location and went to drive thru and was going to order it. They kept telling me we have no gravy. So im done with this location. Never had problems with other dairy queens in texas cause gravy is the thing down there. Also want to say is that coming back with a response saying hope yall give us another chance. Negative once I leave a comment on reviews like golden corral. We haven't went back there. Also other restaurants as well. I did a bad review on a apartment they literally ask me to call them so I did and we work out a deal so I thats the only way for me. Not just say hey sorry you had bad time with us hope you give us another chance. Ummm no!

    I have despised this location for a while decided to revisit and give it a shot. Nothing changed and will not be going back ever again. I pulled into the drive through with no one else in the establishment but employees. Asked a question about customizing and order and received a half hearted response not even applicable to my question. Employees seemed like they were being punished by being there by tone and attitudes. Pulled up to the window paid and was asked to park and they would bring the food. 20 minutes go by I watch from the car employees talking laughing and dancing around and one even playing the connect 4 game in the dining area. After 25 minutes walked in and asked for a refund and was asked what didn't I receive on my order. I stated none of it. Cashier apologized while the other employees rolled their eyes and paraded around aimlessly. Finally after 2 attempts I was refunded. I made the mistake of coming back after terrible service/experience. Will not make that mistake a 3rd time.
