The employee was very nice and he quickly prepared our order. The ice cream was a little soft but we still enjoyed the hazelnut shake and salted caramel toffee blizzard.

We were on vacation this week. Went to DQ last night in hopes to have ourselves a sweet treat. Only to get the shaking of a head when asked if still opened. 5 employees blatantly ignoring a customer standing outside at 10:25pm. We triple checked time of closing was 11pm. Called immediately after leaving to ask employee what their hours were. She replyed "we closed". I then asked what time their operating hours were, young lady answered with "10:30, I think?". I informed her that the website stated 11:00pm. She then rudely hung up on me. Very very disappointed in these young people's work ethic. We will NEVER return to this franchise. One star isn't even deserved. LOCAL only!

Love this little Dairy Queen. The service is always great... it has the old fashioned feel of a drive in restaurant .

I look forward to getting a shake here every day on weekends and after work. My favorite place to cool down. the ice cream and shakes ect..are Really really good. Especially when the owner is working. He's very nice and good to regular customers. And sadly this one closes on off season months too. But when they open for tourists in summer. I can't wait to get one of his shakes every day after work. prices are very fair, and it's really good quality chocolate,Real strawberries, this place is a definite blessing and must have for this community. Next time I go I'm going to try something different from the menu.😋Hope this was helpful to y'all 🙂. Update, my new favorite is mango pineapple smoothie. For a non dairy choice. It's so delicious 😋.

During the week the wait time is not too bad during the busy season unless it’s a Friday of course!
