It's gotten a lot better. It used to be absolutely horrible, but they've definitely improved, especially with the management change. I got a meal and a blizzard, and I got my meal fast, something that didn't happen before, and my Blizzard was flipped like it was supposed to be.

Poor kid was all alone. Had no help and handled himself extremely well. Service was prompt,, correct and even being bombarded he smiled and talked with every single customer. I've worked in the food service industry since I was 15 years old. Let me tell you this kid would have a well paying job in a restaurant I run. Kudos to the underdog who remembers his bite. It was a great thing to see commitment to self, customer and quality. Bravo

UH OH . . . am I ratting myself out!?? This DQ is quite often my GO-TO GETAWAY when I tell the wife I need to ride my bike. It's a perfect 15 mile away ride on country roads, usually not crowded when I get there, and the blizzards are always great. SHHHHH . . . I'm hoping she'll never read this!

Absolute angels on shift, deserving of a pay raise to keep them on the team (23 Aug. 2024 at around 7:20 p.m.). I was greeted with a friendly smile, my dog was offered treats, food and ice cream arrived quickly. First time I've ever left excited to come back. Now I realize that description alone may not earn them a raise but if the owner is competent enough to compare this review to the one of the many-many 1 star reviews about staff (including mine 4 yrs. ago) they'd know it'd pay dividends to keep those girls on staff and happy.
