Why did I pay for honey bbq tenders and hardly get any sauce? I drove so far for this, just to be disappointed. I don’t think I’ll be returning if this is what my service is going to be like every time. This is the second time in a row this has happened to me here.

Been here for ice cream first time for food. I had bbq chicken tenders box. They were tender and juicy. My husband had the #8 and he said it was big, juicy & delicious. We ended our meal with blizzards. The food and service was great. They will definitely see us again.

My wife and I were very satisfied with our visit here today. I got the $7 combo and the cheeseburger was really good, better than McD's. Compare their food to Rally's. It's really good! The ice cream sundaes were the bomb. And we bought some Dilly Bars to take home. 🍔 🍦

A legacy location. Anyone from this area remembers getting Ice cream at Dairy Queen. While watching the lakeside parade or out with the parents on a hot afternoon this location is a stable of lakeside. Food is decent but no different than other Dairy queen locations. The Sundae is a big disappointment though. No nuts, whip cream or cherries. You get your topping choice and ice cream only. That in my opinion doesn't make a Sunday that's just ice cream with a topping. Service is ok, the issue stems from difficulty ordering through low windows and always a crowd. Parking is easy to access, but a small lot. There is ample parking next door though. Atmosphere is kinda horrible though. The Super hot blacktop sun faded everything, the dining area that is ok but feels off putting somehow. Fi

★★★★★ 5.0 Michael Eberle · Sep 2025

I love this place! Probably more for nostalgic reasons than anything else because it's been the same for at least 50 years. I need everyone to patronize this place to keep it in business! There's value in the simple presentation of a great product. And the Peanut Buster Parfait is amazing!!
