Dairy Queen (Treat)

You have to love pumpkin flurries

A solid well put together team here to pair with amazing ice cream and shake products!!! I went in the daytime and Angel was very helpful and was a solid representative for DQ and made for a good experience! A couple days later i went in at night and Melody and Tony were working. Melody's humor paired with her kind soul and Tony with his comforting presence made for such a delightful presence. Great Job guys!!! Will be back and fsvorite DQ location so far. Love the Ultimate Royal Choco Brownie by far yum to that creamy fudge center 😋😋😋😋

They are usually good, but tonight they were turning customers away AT 9:50pm saying they were closed!! Multiple groups of people turned away!! If you say you are open till 10, serve people till 10. No need to lose customers and create negative interactions over not following your own hours.

Got an extremely small sundae. It was very small overpriced and slow service.

This guy named Andrew was VERY HELPFUL AND NICE YESTERDAY! I really am grateful my first interaction with the business was with him.

The steak nuggets were great too!

To start this off, I must say I would rate this location 0 stars if it was possible, but unfortunately that’s not the case.
Today, September 30th (at 9:10 PM!) my girlfriend and I went to this location as we wanted a quick treat and we knew that Dairy Queen closes at 10 PM. As we’re pulling into a parking spot, we see an employee mopping that seems to glance at us and stare. After a few seconds, he walks over to the door, opens it (while still staring at us), closes it, locks it, then proceeds to jiggle the door to ensure it’s locked.
Both confused, my girlfriend and I look just at each other. After a short amount of time I stepped outside of the car and walked up to the door, not being acknowledged once by the employee inside mopping. I went to try to open the door to see if it was actually locked and to see if it would grab the attention of the employee, yet he didn’t bat an eye. This is all taking place between 9:11 and 9:12, still a whopping 48 minutes before they close!!! If we had shown up right before they close, I would understand this situation much more, however that was not the case at all. If something was causing them to need to close early I would completely understand that as, but it was the lack of communication on that employee’s end and the complete rudeness that was upsetting.
I will most definitely not be returning to this location, and my views of the company have unfortunately been affected heavily by this.

Classic DQ we've been used to for 30 years.Always a treat to go there.

Chicken tenders and white gravy...enough said

The blazzard was good and the cone was ok. They didn't have chocolate.

Best ice cream in the United States.

I brought my mom there and she loved it too. We always talk about all the old stuff they used to have like the Yukon Cruncher.

No hairnets, no gloves being used . Employee very unhappy, robotic like attitude. Unclean store.

This location was my second favorite in North Florida...BUT our last two visits have been disappointing. The location is ideal for this iconic ice-cream franchise to thrive, perfect for travelers, and somewhat close to Santa Fe College and the University of Florida to satisfy student's sweet tooth cravings. This location is in a busy eating hub of Gainesville, so be prepared for traffic and hustle and bustle. There is always a large homeless presence around this location, so if that is uncomfortable maybe Ocala twenty-five minutes south may be a better pick. Although this location shares space with a shell gas station, there is plenty of room for parking and there is an around-the-building drive through for no time to stop cliental. Navigation from I-75 is easy for north and south bound travelers, and there is a large shopping center just behind this location that might be ideal for tractor trailers.

On our visit we ordered three ice-creams and a malt through the app. This location was somewhat busy, and had three people working. We had an extensive wait as the workers were having trouble with the equipment that makes the ice-cream. The workers definitely get a thumbs up for trying to get the equipment to work, but there was no success. The workers had to refund customers...but not all. They were not able to refund our order as we ordered ahead via the app. We were told to call corp or return the following day for the order to be completed. I will skip ahead...still waiting for a refund.

On our previous visit, we always pay for extra topping or mix-ins, but the ice-creams were 90% plain with none. Ice-cream is one of our favorite desserts, and we visit many ice-cream stops in north, central, and southwest Florida. Based on our experiences...both in the past three months, we may just stick it with our favorite locations in Palatka or Ocala.

We got the turtle blizzard and it was amazing. However, the girl in the front was BUSY. She was alone and rushing like crazy to take.care of everyone.

Not their fault, but their blizzard machine was broken and that was what I wanted.
