All I can say is wow, I'm impressed at how the young lady at the counter kept her composure and demeanor while some jerk in the drivethru was honking swearing and pounding on the glass because it was taking some time to get food, luckily he peeled off before the situation escalated, I was not going to stand for his behavior and motioned to him to ✋️ stop and give us a minute☝️and calm it bucko 🤫 to which only pissed him off more. (That jerk wad along with seemingly being short staffed is why I gave 3 stars on atmosphere) After we ordered, The girl was trying to get me a gift card to which charged my debit card but would not activate the actual gift card. She tried everything she knew and called a manager and ended up giving me my money back, I appreciate her not just sending me on my way with a bad gift card, 🙏 had that happen before too, but in the meantime people were piling in and all eyes on you situation. I applaud both the older cook and the girl for keeping calm and getting the job done. Yes it took a while but DQ isn't fast food to begin with and we know that as we come everytime we sneak to the Casino. Well worth the wait!!!! 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 I know it's probably not the busy season but they seem to be short staffed a lot which whatever, it is what it is, also know it's hard to find good help, specially this time of year, food for thought... we'll see you next time 💯

The service was very good. The young man was right on the ball. It was not really busy. But the food came hot and fresh. I had the $7.00 chicken strip lunch that comes with a Sunday. It was very good.

We went to DQ to get munchies. It would appear Jay and silent Bob were running the show that night. We got good food at affordable prices and the 2 young men working were a barrel of laughs. Hope you 2 boys enjoyed your tip
