    The meals are okay, but I highly suggest the ice cream. Specifically, the Chocolate Dipped Strawberry. 🫪

    As a coach, one of the greatest responsibilities I have is helping young people grow into respectful, responsible adults. Every day we talk about how to treat others, how to carry ourselves in public, how to show patience, appreciation, and kindness—even when situations aren’t perfect. That is why our experience at the Estherville Dairy Queen was so disheartening. Before we even walked through the doors, I gathered our team and reminded them of three things: we were only ordering ice cream, we would gladly let any other customers go ahead of us if someone came in, and because we were a larger group, I expected them to be especially appreciative and respectful toward the staff. For context, there were no other customers in the restaurant when we arrived. Unfortunately, the girls weren’t even given the opportunity to walk in the door before they were being spoken to in a scolding and belittling tone. These are 13- to 17-year-old student-athletes who had done absolutely nothing wrong. They hadn’t been loud, disruptive, or disrespectful. They simply walked in excited for a post-camp ice cream stop. When I saw the way my players were being addressed, I stepped to the front to calmly explain that we were in no hurry and understood we were a large group. Before I could finish my sentence, I was interrupted with an “Obviously,” delivered in a dismissive tone. At that point, our team chose to leave and support another business. Once every player had left, I stayed behind because I genuinely wanted to have an adult conversation. I wanted to explain why we were leaving—not to argue, but to share perspective. I wanted to apologize that our stop had been last-minute and explain why we hadn’t called ahead. I wanted to let her know that I had already instructed the girls to order only ice cream to make things easier on the staff. Most importantly, I wanted to express that these teenagers had done nothing to deserve being spoken to the way they were. Unfortunately, I was interrupted multiple times and never had the opportunity to finish what I was trying to say. I understand that working in customer service is hard, and I truly appreciate the people who do it. Large groups can be stressful. But stress should never justify speaking to young people with disrespect before they’ve even had a chance to interact. The most disappointing part wasn’t that we didn’t get ice cream—it was watching a group of respectful teenagers leave feeling embarrassed and unwelcome. As adults, we have the opportunity to shape the next generation by the way we speak to them. We can correct, teach, and set expectations while still treating people with dignity and kindness. I hope this experience serves as a reminder that customer service isn’t just about taking orders. It’s about how people are made to feel. Unfortunately, on this visit, our athletes were made to feel like an inconvenience before they even had the chance to say order.

    I ordered a shake and it is not mixed and super thick, no straw was given and I couldn’t even use it because the shake is way too thick and is practically a malt and I ordered a shake not a malt. My slushy I also ordered was very runny and not slushy like at all it came out super separated from the actual slush part and juice part which is disappointing because I drank all the juice and now left with just the slush even after studying it numerous times. Also when ordering the food they kept acting like they couldn’t hear us and we had to go to the window to finish our order. The employees gave us a mean stare and glance when they came to the window and didn’t seem happy to serve us. The chicken tenders we ordered on the mix and match were barely warm, and they acted like they couldn’t give us them at the drive through speaker when we tried to order and so we went to the window instead. Overall it was a horrible experience and wished we went somewhere else instead.

    I’ve never tried their food but ice cream I absolutely love. Drive thru service was pretty quick no issues.
