Go through the drive thru. Never had problems there but going in is like they never knew you could. Ice cream only though, food is not good.

I was having difficulties with the app and the lady at the window seemed annoyed. I asked her if she could look up my account using my phone number since it wasn’t loading on my phone and she said they can’t do that. I worked at a Dairy Queen for 3 years and we did that all the time?! Whatever I was going to pay using points but paid cash since I didn’t want to ruin her times. Anyways she was quick to hurry me out of the line even though there was only one car behind me. It didn’t bother me until I was driving and saw they didn’t put the queso that comes with the pretzel sticks in it. Maybe if she would have been less in a hurry she could’ve at least looked in the bad to see if it was there but no. It’s 2 pm and there isn’t a rush people need to learn patience. The pretzel sticks were warm thankfully but they were not good without the queso. If they were out I would’ve understood and would’ve ordered something else. So now I’m upset I paid for 3 sticks of bread that don’t even taste good on their own. This location always gives me problems and this has topped it off.

Extremely poor service. There were six in our party. We went inside to order and stood at the counter without anyone acknowledging that we were there. After more than five minutes we asked if someone could come and take our order. Four of our party received there food. The other two waited without receiving our food. I could see our food sitting behind the counter under a warmer so I went to the counter and asked about our food. I stepped behind the counter just a step and the girl taking orders went ballistic, telling me not to step behind the counter. I said okay but could I get my food. I stepped back from the counter and she just kept saying "You can't step behind this counter." I said I understand but could I please get my food that's been sitting under the warmer while the rest of our party was finished eating. Her customer service was extremely rude.
