Dairy Queen Grill & Chill

We love Dairy Queen. Every since our children were little my husband's favorite thing is to take them to Dairy Queen. Of course it's as much for him as it is for them. We have probably eaten some of everything on the menu and it's always great.

We have gone to the old DQ since I was a child... when they opened the new grill and chill we had to give it a try. The service was excellent and the food and ice cream seemed more fresh than the older DQ. We have stopped going to the old one and the Grill and Chill is our new Ice Cream spot. They were friendly, happy to take our special requests orders and even brought our food to us with a smile! It is a welcome change and we are happy to have them here!

PROS: freshness, service, speed.
CONS: none!

This new Dairy Queen has great seating and there are more employees to help you. They bring your food to your table and then even clear it for you. The sandwiches are good, and of course the Blizzards are to die for!

My wife and I have been driving from Avon Park to the south end of Sebring to sit in line at the old Dairy Queen for years. We were beyond excited to learn there was a new Dairy Queen opening close to us, but have been very disappointed in the results. I finally decided last night that we won't go back there. We've eaten there a couple of times a week since it opened three months ago and almost always have a problem with the food. The first time I ordered food, the order taker placed the bag on end and all the food slid to the bottom of the bag. The manager quickly replaced my order. Another time I ordered a blueberry cheesecake Blizzard and it came without any cheesecake. The final straw was last night, when I ordered three foot long chili and cheese dogs. I was shocked when I received three regular size hot dogs and was charged about the same price. These hot dogs are about one-third the size of a foot long but are priced only ten cents less. Dairy Queen was out of foot longs and simply replaced my ordered with the smaller hot dogs without mention of it - and how they can charge basically the same price is beyond me! Although the manager irritatedly refunded the price of the hot dogs, he did keep the tax I had already paid. From now on, if my wife and I want Dairy Queen we will drive passed the Chill & Grill to the much farther old Dairy Queen in the south end of Sebring.

PROS: More Choices
CONS: S-l-o-w Service, HIGH Prices, Poor Service
