“Creamy rich ice cream. Great portions. Great prices. Cute place to enjoy. Dog friendly. Kiddie size is more than enough for an adult. Smalls are huge! But I wish they would change up their flavors. Non chocolate, peanut butter and fruit types are bland and need a flavor immersion pop. The menu needs to add more flavors or change them up.“

I recommend you go and visit the farm and the farm stand so you can get your fresh meats, eggs, jam, milk, get a slice of pizza on the way and for the children the ice cream is a most. Blessings🤗🤗“

“I'm originally from Texas and I was raised on food this good and well prepared, but usually you had to be invited to a Sunday cookout with your buddy and their 50 closest relatives for this level. The service is great, the food comes out quick and fresh, the flavors are top notch and very authentic for South Texas/ Northern Mexico. We've been twice and we're excited that we've found actual Mexican cuisine up here. Who would have thought Wallingford would have such a gem! Wallingford is for Foodies I'm quickly finding out.“

“This is the cleanest and nicest looking Dairy Queen I’ve been in in a long time. The older woman behind the counter that was taking orders has such a knack for customer service just the way that she immediately greets you with a smile, Welcomes you in, And she makes sure that you get everything in your order. She even made sure to ask me if I wanted any ketchup with my order, which unfortunately is not very common in a lot of Dairy Queen’s. I only went to this one because I happened to be in the area, but I would go out of my way to come back here again.“

“The frozen yogurt was good, though it was a bit more frozen and firm than other places I have been to. The store was very clean and nothing gross stood out. The service was average overall, but they were ready and when it came time to check out. The best part of the shop was definitely the atmosphere and decor. It is the nicest looking frozen yogurt place I have been to. Prices were about average compared to other frozen yogurt shops. Overall, it is a solid spot I would visit again.“

“probably not no. just entering the establishment their was paper towels all over the place and every surface was sticky, got up to the counter it was well over a half hour in line grabbing our purchase for one bowl I chose the fruity pebbles roll. the quality was very good of the ice cream. behind the line it looked clean but personally I think these young folks that work their need to try and fit some lobby maintenance here and their. I know it's rough sometimes. but those kids definitely were working their butts off every associate their was friendly too. but the entry was unesthetically pleasing.“
