We've never had a problem with this Dairy Queen. It's close to home, the staff has always been nice to us, the dining room is clean and I LOVE Dairy Queen ice cream.

Its DQ - What do you expect? The wait was long, the blizzards were a little sloppy, but still tasted good. The medium is a pretty large size blizzard, so if you arent too hungry, a small is def enough.

I would give this place zero stars if I could. First we were all but ignored when we walked in. Three separate employees walked part us, including a man that looked to the manager. Finally, a woman came to help us and she did not look happy we were there. In fact she acted like we bothered her. Second, she informs us that they don't participate in any of the current promotions since its past the end of the month. Well, we were there on the last day of the month, but according to her the 25th is the end of the month and we are wrong. She was so rude we decided to just leave and not get anything. Had her attitude been better, we might have still ordered and ate there. Third on the way out, she made rude comments about my father and I. She made sure she was loud enough that we heard it. I guess this store owner has too much money, and can afford to let his help be rude, and money to walk out of the store. Next time we will stick to the Dairy Queen in West Allis, as they are always nice and have never been rude.

A group of us stopped in for an after dinner desert. I have to say that I have been in multiple Dairy Queens over the years and when all is said and done a Dairy Queen is a Dairy Queen. I do have to complement the younger staff that was working. It was a Friday night and I am sure that they all would have preferred to be somewhere else, but they did provide a high level of customer service. We were promptly greeted at the door by the employee who was cleaning tables. The clerk that took our order offered us a seat and said that she would bring our ice cream out to us. I don't recall this level of service at other DQs. Overall it was a great experience.

THE "Q" IS FOR QUIRKY... This Dairy Queen serves the same Dairy Queen favs we've all come to know and love. BUT, this particular DQ has a few idiosyncrasies. Let me catch you up to speed... THE DRIVE THRU... Be forewarned, the drive thru is flat out weird. Since this DQ is in a strip mall, there really isn't a place to drive "through." So, you more or less do a giant U-turn in their parking lot. It works out well, unless of course the parking lot is congested, in which case you end up pissing someone off as they whip in the driveway. Don't get all excited and crap in your Depends, grandpa. I'm just trying to place my order. The really strange things is the automated message you get when you use the drive thru after 8:30 p.m. (and oftentimes earlier). This serial killer voice says, "We'll be with you in a moment. We're sorry but the grill is closed. It closes every night at 8:30." For the longest time I couldn't place where I'd heard that voice before. At first I thought it sounded like former Archbishop Timothy Dolan. Then I thought it sounded like Anson Williams (Potsie on Happy Days). Then it came to me: if you youtube the episode of Friends with the "creepy Doctor" that idolizes "Fonzie", it sounds EXACTLY like HIM. My real gripe is: who the hell closes their grill at 8:30 at night? Several bored employees are paid to babysit one another behind the glass. THE RENOVATION... This Dairy Queen had clearly seen better days. She was looking a little haggered for royalty--you might say she looked like Dairy Hag. The franchisee must have realized that his DQ looked a little dated with the teal-ish color scheme and formica tables circa 1990, so about a year ago he decided to take the restaurant forward a few years. And he DID....to 1995. Swapped out for some dark formica tables, were some equally dated lighter colored formica tables. The walls got a new coat of maize colored paint. Kind of vanilla, no pun intended. And they added some amber "pendant lights." What is the "mystique" of the pendant light amongst restauranteurs. They kept the brown brick-style floor that one is used to seeing in fast food restaurants of decades past. I could never figure out who's brilliant idea it is to use this flooring treatment with nasty, dirt-collecting grout in a commercial setting where constant mopping is required. Even when it's allegedly clean, it looks filthy. THE FOOD... It's consistent in taste, with the only variable being how the employee prepares it. The skinny twink kid will hand you a product that looks PRECISELY like the food pictured in the ads and the menu board. The sloppy looking, grump-l-up-a-gus girl with the mousy, brown, greasy, string-mop hair pinned in a bun will serve you a stingy portion, with a few toppings haphazardly thrown on the ice cream in a half-assed way. Nevertheless, the food always tastes good. It's DQ. Kudos to them using FRESH lettuce EVERY time--not a shred of yellow or brown to be found. NO RECEIPTS... This place doesn't give receipts, because apparently the owner must be a miser. You have to ASK for a receipt, and even then you rarely will get one. The owner is just asking for his staff to rip him off by not providing customers with receipts. Oh, well, some people just trip over dollars to pick up dimes. THE RATING... If you're in the mood to "DQ" something different, you will get what you would expect from this place. That's one thing I'll give this chain is that no matter which franchise you visit, it is consistently good. This isn't the best location in the chain, but there is nothing sinfully wrong with it either. For now THREE shopworn stars for the Layton Ave. DQ with the faded, old sign, and makeshift drive-thru.
