Waiting a while for my Sunday but it's well worth it I would recommend the strawberry cheese quake blizzard

Dairy Queen? Or Dirty Queen? And I'm not talking about my femmy neighbor with the Member's Only jacket drenched in Patchouli. Really, it's not working. You're just stinky. But this DQ could use a visit from Mr. Clean and the Brawny paper towel guy. Both of whom I've had huge crushes on. Napkins, papers and spoons on the floor. Behind the counter wasn't a pretty picture either. They weren't busy and should have been cleaning. You know what they say..."If there's time to lean, there's time to clean." However, my simple little vanilla cone really hit the spot. For that...2 stars. Staff was friendly. One more. Total. Three stars

I've stopped through this DQ throughout the years when I craved an Oreo Blizzard or the double cheeseburger meal. The thing I would say is that this location has never gotten my order wrong. And if you know fast food joints, you know that almost NEVER happens. I would also note that despite the fact that they can sometimes be a bit slow at this location, they always have given me fresh and hot food. Nothing ever feels like it has been sitting. Even the fries are always piping hot. As far as the location goes I would say that the drive thru is cramped and coming out on to Central Ave to Missouri Road headed northbound can be a major challenge. Sometimes I've had to go through the neighborhood to get to the next light because northbound AND southbound Central Avenue can be hectic during the day (and even at night). One final note, the employees always are young. Which means they aren't perfect. However, they are ALWAYS friendly and get my order right. And that's what I judge them on. Bravo teen DQ kids, OWN that summer job! Lol

Quick and pleasant drive-thru service and standard issue DQ deliciousness - perfect dessert stop. If you've never been to a DQ before, try a Peanut Buster Parfait - the soft-serve is delicious, the fudge is thick and creamy and the peanuts are plentful and salty - it's an excellent combination. My husband 's favorite is the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard, if you're looking for a sure thing in a cup. Enjoy!

Who doesn't like DQ? And they gave this one a face lift! Not a lot to say here but I've never had bad service here and the drive thru seems to be always busy so, dozens of ashamed late-night eaters can't be wrong.

So I have been here quite a few times.... just never gotten around to writing a review for it.... I really enjoyed when they had the 2 for $3 hamburgers however they don't anymore. But they do have an awesome lunch deal where you get a burger or other choice of main dish, some fries, a drink, and a sundae for $5. That is pretty unbeatable honestly. The fries are meh but everything else is good... especially the ice cream and let's be honest that is the reason you came to dairy queen in the first place. Service is usually pretty quick and I have never really had a problem.

I loved DQ as a kid and practically lived there as a teenager. Fast forward many years and I am now rediscovering the joy of their soft serve. I am an ice cream fiend and DQ's vanilla cones just seem to hit the spot these days. Something about the cold, creamy goodness is deeply satisfying, and is rivaled only by their chocolate sundae. This location has been here forever and has been upgraded. The staff is very polite and the drive-thru is usually busy. Most times this deliciousness is worth the wait!

I am disgusted with the restaurant!!! Let's see... cater to kids and tell my 5 year old grandson to cross a seriously busy street (Central Ave.) to use the bathroom at a Boston Market. How about this Dairy Queen... Get a F'ing bathroom for your patrons!!!! It is pitiful you can't even wash your hands before you eat - that leaves us with the question what your employees do when they need to wash or use the restroom while preparing patron's food.

The line was long but did move quickly. We can cones and then tried the new Apple blizzard and the pumpkin blizzards. They were both outstanding and reasonably priced . It is too bad that they do not serve both of these choices after december

Ice cream was typical for DQ but neighborhood was a bit sketchy on a Saturday evening. A guy outside had a holstered firearm. Very small store. Very limited seating. My only concern was how well they cleaned the Blizzard machine. Just looked like it needed some cleaning. No one got sick so probably fine too.

I am giving this place 1 star because they only have vanilla soft serve.... Why not chocolate?! I find this very strange and annoying.

Buyers beware! I have been to this DQ several times with minimal complaint. It is small and seating is limited but that never really bothered me. Today I brought my daughter and we purchased ice cream and food and the cashier told me the bill total was $8.00 even. I gave him my credit card and he ran it. At first I didn't think he was going to give me a receipt. I guess they just have a slow credit card machine. He finally handed me the credit card receipt, not the actual receipt the cash register produces and I noticed that the card had been swiped for $10.00. At first I thought maybe there was a fee for using a credit/debit card and next I thought, wow, that's ridiculous. When he delivered the food, I asked him why the bill was $8 and the receipt showed my card had been charged $10 and he said, "oh" and walked back the register and instantly popped the drawer open, took out $2 and ripped the receipt off and walked over to me. He showed me the total and said, "you were right" and handed me the $2. Umm....ok. So basically, my advice is to watch your receipts very closely, ask for both copies, the credit card and the register one, and maybe even pay with cash cuz last time I checked the 8 and the 10 weren't "next to each other" on a keyboard and I am not sure there's a plausible excuse for this accidentally happening. I am thinking that that employee thinks he's running some kind of scam where he skims a couple bucks off every credit card transaction and pockets the extra money at the end of the day and that's some bullsh*t. I will be contacting the store directly tomorrow to voice my concerns with their manager although maybe he or she's in on it too. Might be best to avoid this location unless you're actually wanting give your money away to dishonest people.

Slowest moving Dairy Queen I have ever been to! Went at 2 and took 20 minutes for my order which was the lunch deal for one not any big order , food was still good as good as fast food gets, but not quick enough for me to stop in and get my lunch

My wife and I are regulars at this location for their frozen treats. I normally put fast food at 2-3 stars, but this place gets the fourth star for two reasons. First, I'm really impressed with the cheerful attitude by the staff, even though they are often slammed in the evenings. Second, this place is always neat and clean. Awesome Blizzards.

Was next door waiting for my girlfriends doctor appointment when I got hungry so I walked over to this place. Says doors open at 10:30 so I checked my phone and surprisingly it was exactly 10:30, so I reached for the door and it was locked. I decided to wait 5 minutes in the chair outside and watched an employee walk in and lock the door behind him so I left. Needless to say if your establishment opens at 10:30 then be prepared to open at 10:30. They lost my lunch business for today.

I am so glad they remodeled this place. It was getting a bit run down, but is a staple as one of the only dairy queens in the central Phoenix Area. The service is good and the ice cream always hits the spot. Yesterday we went through the drive-thru and had to wait a bit, but once the window a Hispanic man in his early 20s handed us our amazing shakes and was so friendly. He was overly kind and made me wish I had gotten his name as we drove away.

Place was great. Staff was friendly, greeting, and efficient. Even thanked us for our business on our way out. My only compliant was the place was a little too small, gets crowded easily (pretty much all Dairy Queens are). Other than that, Awesome service!

This DQ is getting a face lift and it looks like they're almost done with the remodel. The good: DQ now offers a "Mini" size which is PERFECT for my periodic Half Health Bar, Half Oreo Blizzard cravings. The bad: The Drive Thru takes FOREVER!! Seriously, I don't know what is happening inside when there are only 2 cars in the parking lot?! The ugly: The damage those Blizzards are doing to my heart and ass

Yep it's a Dairy Queen, It's a little busy around 7, but worth the wait.

The other night I was craving a Peanut-Buster Parfait but had no desire to schlep inside the nearby Dairy Queen. I was feeling lazy, bra-less and make-up free. Easy solution, I thought. Drive a little farther to the drive-thru Dairy Queen. YES!!! Central was eerily vacant of cars, so I made it there in no time. It took a while for someone to take my order and then when I got up to the window, this young kid looked at me and asked if I was "so and so." At first I thought I didn't hear him right so I said, "What?" He repeated the name. I ponder it for a moment, and with a scrunched look, I said "Uh, no." I paid, got my change and drove off. But I started thinking on the way home: could that have been a secret code? For a drug-deal? Or some cool rave party? Damn! I should have said "YES!" I could've had some extra fun with my Parfait! Oh, well. It hit the spot. I'll be back again, and maybe the next time I'll remember to say "yes" if asked a random question.

We went for soft serve cones on July 11 in the early evening. The ice cream was smooth and creamy and certainly hit the spot. What impressed me the most was the friendly staff! They are awesome.
