I met with a business associate at this DQ location earlier today. And we were both very pleased, the establishment was clean, (immaculate in fact). The staff was positive, eager to help, and brought our food to the table for us. The food was pretty great too! For a mere $5, the lunch special was well worth the trip.

Food is always good. The fries do seem to be a little to oily and the onion rings aren't as crunchy as I personally like. But this place is definitely comfort food for myself.

I ordered the new grilled chicken and it was very good, but the fries were very pale and not cooked long enough. The store was clean this time, the last time we were there all the tables were dirty and the restroom wasn't very clean oh, so it looks like they've improved. The ice cream products there are very , very good. Very very expensive though so we don't go there very often unless it's happy hour. But all in all good place to eat and has improved since the last time I was there.

$5 buck lunch is among the best fast food deals around. This DQ doesn't get 5 stars for this visit, though. There was no ice in the ice maker and the ice cream topping work was area was very unappetizing. There was sticky red sauce splattered around the area and flies were congregating there. The food was delicious and served fast.
