Sat in the drive through for 10 minutes before anyone said anything to me. While we sit here we watch 6 people walk around talking playing on the phone. As a local I will not be returning. I’ll travel out of town for DQ before I come back. The service was not good. Staff was extremely rude in the drive through, then we sit for 10 minutes as I said before. The person I assume is the manager dark curry hair, probably mid 40s standing around laughing and talking with the staff. She looks at us and then walks off. No one had helped us at this point. Disappointed in the service as I am a manager myself.

We stopped in to get supper while we were in town after a ballgame. There were several high school age kids working. We stood at the counter for 5 minutes while they all looked at us from the kitchen before a girl came up and finally took our order. One boy knocked a bag onto the floor and 3 of them walked past it before picking it up. I was relieved they threw it away and didn’t try using it. Most of the workers were on their phone the entire time we waited for our order. I have to hand it to the two gentleman cooking. They were the only ones working and they were hustling. Our food sat in the window while the kids were on their phones and playing around. Thank you to the cooks, we enjoyed our food, and to the girl that took our order finally. The rest didn’t seem to care about anything besides their phones.

I really hope today was just an off day for them, the girls were very nice but my food wasn’t very good. They had only been open for an hour and My fries tasted like they had been under the heat lamp since they opened, my burger was ok but was slopped together. I understand they try to hurry but I was the only one in the line.

The boy at the counter turned his back on us and acted like he didn’t see us. Afterward, he turned to us and sheepishly took our order.

The Last 3 times I have come to this DQ they have gotten my order wrong. Even after coming to get it fixed the second time the “fix” was wrong as well. This DQ used to be really good but has declined greatly in the past 5 years.

so I was in the drive thru yesterday and everything was going fine food didn’t take too long. When I get home I find a long black hair in my burger and I wasn’t happy so I called them and told them my issue and all she said was “oh well I don’t have anyone with long hair in my kitchen” like the snotty old lady she is her name was Jeri I believe but I’m tired of these disgusting places ruining our town. #GETDQ&JERIOUTTATOWN
