Drive through is too small. My husband scrapped his rim trying to make the turn to the window in his car. Now we have that expense to fix.

Ive gotten maybe a total of 4 dairy queen ice cream cakes ever. My first time at this location is now my last, as I picked up a dairy queen blizzard cake for my son's birthday and upon pickup the person who decorated the cake left off all of the reeces pieces I paid for because I did a "design" (gray frosting).
Upon eating the cake, we found random bits of onion inside the cake, not like a lot but like either they didnt change their gloves or accidentally had some type ot contact during making the cake like a unclean work station. We ended up throwing the rest of the cake out upon finding the onion bits as it was honestly really gross. We sent a complaint that was forwarded to the owner in the beginning of the week and never received any response. They do not care.

The drive through is so small and hard to turn in. I hit the curb trying to get to the window. $40 for a cheeseburger kids meal, a 4 piece chicken tender basket, and 2 ice creams is real ridiculous. In hindsight I should've said nevermind and went elsewhere. I had to pull around and wait for our food and ice cream. The chicken tenders were so small, the hand full of fries I received were really sad looking, and my root beer tasted horrible I couldn't drink it. I also had to pay separately for the gravy which I always assumed came with the chicken basket. My sons stomach was I so much pain after eating the food. After stopping at the store, it was a 45 minute ride home and he cried all the way home because his belly was upset. He ended up with diarrhea later. I won't be going revisiting this DQ.
