I would not recommend this Dairy Queen location! Yesterday my brother and I went to go and try the new eggnog holiday blizzards! When we received our drinks we noticed that it tasted just like a normal vanilla milkshake and went to speak to the employee. The employee argued with us that we ordered vanilla milkshakes because there was no way she would mistake it for the eggnog shake…both my brother and I restated that we ordered the eggnog shake and repeated it twice before paying for our order to make sure she knew. She continued to argue with us that she wouldn’t make mistakes and that if we wanted the eggnog milkshakes we would have to be charged again for two new shakes. When my brother was tired of the interaction (realized she was not understanding at all) she offered to just add eggnog syrup to our vanilla shakes. We agreed to this, however when she went to add the syrup she began to gossip with her coworker about us. This is absolutely terrible customer service and just pain rude and disrespectful. We will not be returning to this location!!!

This place is terrible. The people are extremely rude. I ordered 2 cookie dough blizzards and asked for extra chocolate fudge. The woman said it already comes with fudge and will be chocolatey. I saw the ice creams that were literally vanilla ice cream so I asked her where the chocolate is she said it’s in there and if you want more we will have to charge you extra. I asked her why she didn’t charge me extra there and then and she got extremely rude with me and started gossiping and giggling with her co workers. I called the location about 20 times no response so I called from another phone and got a response straight away. She started getting all rude and worked up with me and refused to give me a refund. I will never be coming here again!
