Wed Sep 07 2011I used to love the peanut buster parfait (even though it has a stupid name) but lately they have been shrinking the amount of fudge they give you.

Thu Jul 28 2011Food is really not that good. Plus, whenever I eat something from DQ my throat starts to close up. I think I might be allergic to whatever they fry their food in but yeah, even if I wasn't allergic I still wouldn't eat at this place. Also, their blizzard has the highest calorie ranking for anything served at a fast food restaurant. MMMMM, diabeetuusss.

Sat Jul 16 2011Dairy Queen 508 W RANDOL MILL RD ARLINGTON, TX 76011-5784 817-860-2912 ***Do not go to this location***** MANAGER is too timid to tell you if they've ran out of something. Instead they will have you wait 11 minutes in drive thru till they fix more (icecream). Placed order in drive-thru for a mini blizzard (with only 1 car ahead of me)@16:11, pulled up to window at 16:13. Cashier did not open window to receive money till 16:16, took money and did not come back to window till I hunked my horn at 16:19, all to inform that "sorry ma'm but we're making more icecream." (I knew something was wrong just watching the management body language-Panicky and Frantic). I reply:"how much longer will it be?" her reply: "It'll be 30 more seconds". Cashier closes window. Manager walks over and commence to discuss something with cashier at the drive thru window but never sticks her head out to apologize to me for the wait time. Manager looks at me then leaves and continues to walk around in a franti... Read more

Tue May 31 2011I like the Blizzards and other ice cream ONCE in a while, but still WAAAY overpriced and the customer service is pretty much hit or miss.

Sat Jun 12 2010We went to a new DQ Grill and Chill that they opened nearby. The burgers, fries and chicken strips were good. The DQ nearest my house is a walkup only that's been there since ice cream was discovered. If I'm feeling adventurous I'll get a Blizzard and see if I can make it home before my stomach feels like it's been drop kicked. For some reason only their ice cream effects me that way.

Thu May 20 2010Although I haven't eaten at DQ in a while, my last experience was ok. Aside from the service you get sometimes, it's acceptable. Besides, what kind of quality and cohesion do you expect from first time on the job high school kids with a bad case of acne and ragging hormones?

Tue Apr 20 2010Had dairy queen breakfast for the first time today and it was HORRIBLE!!!! I got the Country Platter and the sausage was so dry it just fell apart in crumbles and the biscuits were just the same as the sausage. i was very unsatisfied with it. it was the worst breakfast I have ever had. and i cant forget to mention how gross the eggs were..i ordered them scrambled and i got them and they were runny and looked under cooked. Never going back there!

Wed Apr 07 2010Went to the Dairy Queen in Tumwater, WA. I have always loved the Peanut Buster Parfait but I was so disappointed. First of all it was much smaller than they used to be and they were chinsy on the peanuts and there was something wrong with the chocolate fudge sauce, it was different in a bad way( kind of bitter and bland). Totally not what I remember and I won't be getting another. So what is wrong with all of these food chains that have been around for years and years and now they are cheapening down the quality of food. It's just a shame. Hey Dairy Queen, how come you no longer have pride in your food!?!?!

Mon Mar 01 2010They have terrible food service nowadays, I don't walk to DQ anymore, because Culvers have always better for putting a Reese PB cups.

Wed Oct 21 2009I don't eat fast food ALL THAT MUCH. I have had Dairy Queen hamburgers in the past, but rest assured I will NEVER AGAIN order their burgers. I do like their ice cream. That's about the only thing Dairy Queen is good for.

Wed Oct 21 2009How did Dairy Queen get pregnant ? Burger King forgot to wrap his whopper. The cuisine is worse than this old joke.
by twansalem
Wed Oct 21 2009Dairy Queen's ice cream is decent. Their burgers, on the other hand, are not. These burgers are edible, but that's about the best I can say for them.

Wed Oct 21 2009Anyone foolish enough to order a burger at an ice cream joint and expect it to taste anything but lousy deserves everything they get. My days of eating much in the way of fast food never really existed, so I don't qualify as an expert, but these may be the worst fast food burgers available. The couple of times I tried one of these it was like having an alien lifeform in my intestinal tract.

Sun Oct 04 2009Tried the new owners of the DQ in Van. Texas. This was the worst DQ I have ever been too. The GM Jason Allred is very rude along with alot of other employees at this location. The food was under cooked and fries were very cold. This location also puts salt on all burgers, the GM Jason Allred says, "it gives it flavor". This Location is owned by DQ of Tyler which has other locations in and around the area, but this one is by far the worst and I will not suggest anyone to dine at this filthy place.

Thu Jun 18 2009In high school, my friends and I partook of our "lunch" at the local DQ nearly every day (that was a time when I could consume a banana split for lunch, and drink beer-and-shots at night, and not gain a pound). In later years, it was convenient when I was on the run and needed something solid in my stomach (if it came down to a contest between fast-food hamburgers or fast-food ice cream, ice cream always won). In recent years, my patronage of fast-food restaurants of any kind has become virtually non-existent. Once in a blue moon, though, I'll have something at DQ. Just last week, my birth-mother and I were driving around in her area of north NJ, she got a yen for some DQ ice cream, and I wasn't adverse to the idea. I had the "Peanut Buster" whatever-you-call-it. Not bad or nauseating, as a McDonald's or Burger King "mystery meat" burger would have been...and it certainly satisfied my always active sweet tooth...but in my old age I've become something of an ice cream connoisseur, and I...

Sun May 24 2009This is good if you get a sudden craving for a sundae and there is nothing else nearby. It's really nothing special, although I've never really had any problems with their ice cream other than that it can be quite sweet. The Turtle sundaes are good though.

Fri May 22 2009I have had one bad experience at a Dairy Queen, so I will give them 2 stars. We were driving home from Kentucky and we stopped in a DQ inside a gasstation. I guess we should have stopped at a real DQ, but whatever. When we were ordering the ice cream, the lady [cashier] was typing with her head on the cash register and her hand smashed against her face. She never spoke, except to tell us the total. No thank you, no come again, nothing! Absolutly nothing! When we got in the car, the ice cream tasted like they got it out of the gas pump. The service was horrible and so was the ice cream. Other than that one time, though, I have never really had a bad experience at a DQ. Just don't go to a DQ that's inside a gas station, and I think you should be fine.

Mon Dec 08 2008Above average offerings as fast food goes. They are on the rise unlike much of their competition.

Tue Dec 02 2008Most of the people think about ice cream when they think about Dairy Queen. Not me. Being lactose intolerant I only visit them for their burgers and fries, and occasionally their chicken strips. I have to say that on the burger department, Dairy Queen has been vastly underated. Their burgers are definitely no worse than McDonald's and granted that McDonald's burgers are not stellar, but just think how many people visit McDonald's each day and order their burgers. Their fries are no worse than Wendy's and most of the people would agree that Wendy's fries are decent enough. Price wise, due to the lower sale on their burgers and fries, you can often eat there for much less even than the McDonald's these days.
