Dairy Queen - Carol Stream

We only visit Dairy Queen during the summer, and we always enjoy our time there. I particularly love the banana sundaes, which is what I always come for. My husband enjoys their cones, and sometimes I treat myself to an ice cream cone as well. The ice cream is wonderful, and we will definitely be back!

Overall, I would say it was decent. While it wasn't flawless, I didn't set my expectations too high. There was something about the atmosphere that felt a bit off, although I can't quite put my finger on it; perhaps it was just the light crowd. The wait time was somewhat frustrating, but the food eventually arrived! I would rate it a solid 4 out of 5.

The restaurant is very clean, and the customer service is excellent. I will definitely return repeatedly! The triple chocolate brownie is my favorite!

Ice as always. Love that they have regularly had new flavors lately. I wish this place had the hot food. Even the older gentleman who served today was a bit grumpy and unwilling, but nevertheless polite.

I love, love, love Dairy Queen! It has been my new favorite snack place as of late. The location closest to me has a couple advantages, plus a disadvantage. First, we've been ordering dilly bars by the sack full. I'm not sure what's gotten into me, but it's almost like a compulsion. It started about a month ago. I've noticed a few things about the 3 closest locations. If the dilly bars are wrapped in white paper wrappers, they're wonderful. They've got the swirl we've all come to know and love. You know the one I'm talking about! Anyway, it doesn't matter if they're in the boxes or the brown bags- it's the white wrappers. Next, the ones that are not- they are wrapped in a clear see-through container, they are different. Have you noticed those ever? There's no swirl. The front and back sides both look the same. It's depressing really. You're looking for that sweet little swirl, but it's not there. You may think it's unnecessary, but this is why I buy a dilly bar and not just an ice cream bar from Jewel or another grocery store. You can taste the love they put in the swirl. Laugh if you want, but I spent a summer working at an ice cream stand when I was in high school. It was wonderful. I finally made the DQ standard with the swirl, and understood the meaning of putting love into the product. So it's important for them to do the same. You can't sell 2 types of Dilly Bars for the same price. Some of the bags even have less bars in them. I think some have 6 bars and some have 8-10. I know they're individually owned and operated, but it's going to make people decide which ones to buy their ice cream from in the future; at least if I can have anything to say about it! Enjoy your ice cream. It's a wonderful product, but think about what I've said. We still love DQ- just the ones that put love into their products!!
