"I have been to this place many, many times. The food is always good, and correct, if something does go wrong they will happily help you. I have always been gratful for this place ever since I was a little kid and they took us there for a treat. By far my most visited restaurant in town. It's the only one with a drive thru."

"We ordered take out. The cashier was very friendly and the food was delicious. We got chicken tenders, onion rings, a burger, and the Ultimate Cookie Blizzard. We would order food here again!"

"It’s not often I would think of doing a Dairy Queen review, but I have to give a mention to the best food service manager I have ever seen. Went with my family 6/23 and the manager was amazing. She was getting orders out super quick and even took time to check in on my family (with a young child) to see if we needed anything. I was super impressed with this person and she deserves a raise and at least some credit for being great at her job."

"Just literally left the store...needless to say super happy. Both burgers were fresh, buns super soft. When traveling and adding expenses, we find it hard to spend 15 dollars on a burger that might or might not meet the expectations on the hefty price. DQ never disappoints and this store is no exception. We met the owner and had a great conversation with her. We'll run, delicious food. Thank you!"

"Give these girls a raise! Two girls working hard to serve a steady stream of customers on Sunday, July 20 around 1:00 p.m. They were swamped but doing all they could do to wait on customers efficiently. My chicken strips were good sized, cooked just right. Good job, Girls!"

"The employees were so nice!! My husband and I are truck drivers and had to overnight in Custer. My husband walked to Dairy Queen to get dinner and when he got there the lobby was closed. He called and asked if he could walk through the drive thru to order and they said yes (most places won't let us do this). Then after he ordered the lady opened the lobby for him to wait for the food because it was cold outside. The food was great and the employees were amazing!!"

"Awesome staff! Asked for a pup cup for our dog at the drive thru window expecting a cup of whipped cream, they handed us a mini cup of ice cream. Made my dogs day! Great food too!"
