    Poor customer service, we were refused service. My family and I attempted to order in the drive thru last night. We pulled up only to hear a recording that the restaurant was closed but the operating hours on the door was until 11 pm. So we waited in line with the other cars ahead of us who received the same recording. When I pulled up to the window, the employee asked me what I wanted to order only to tell me that they were closing soon and wasn’t cooking anymore food(it was 10:45 pm). When I asked her why not, since they weren’t closed, she said she would ask her supervisor only to come back and say I’m sorry we’re not cooking anymore food tonight. This was very upsetting since we had already waited over 10 minutes in line only to be turned away. I most likely will not visit this DQ again, I will drive to the one on Brandon Ave in hopes for better service.

    Paid over $6 for what turned out to be a cup of vanilla ice cream passed off as a medium Blizzard. Took it back, they remade it in a tiny cup that didn't even add up to my original medium, no apology, and it was still mostly plain vanilla after a few bites. Staff clearly don’t know (or care) how to make a proper Blizzard. If Dairy Queen wants to keep customers, they should take a lesson from Chick-fil-A on service and actually train their employees. I’ll be driving out of my way to a different DQ from now on.
