These two women did not know how to make a blizzard. It was so soft it was soft served rather than a blizzard not flip upside down it would’ve hit the floor I’m so disappointed I love

I am very upset with the lack of diligence that the people who serve here have, there was a promotion in the app, I asked my husband to please buy it for me and I gave him the code to redeem it.The girl did not want to accept the promo code, she told him that I had to be in person with the application and give them my cell phone. I felt like I was claiming a lottery jackpot... Very bad service! They complicate everything into something that was so simple and made us lost time, had a bad time that makes you hesitate to want to return.

Can't go wrong with DQ. Stopped here to get a couple of blizzards on our way back from the beach.

Love the "blast from the past" vibe. Service is quick and efficient even though there's always a line.
They USED to be great. But with some staff changes .. just not someplace we'd go again. They made two out of three items incorrectly. When asked politely to make was ordered, what was ordered, instead of making the extra large blizzard that was ordered, she made a junior (whatever is smaller than a small) for one, and would not fix the second one. Quarts at Jeremiah's are always right, and for three it is about the same cost of getting subpar service at Dairy Queen. This person at Dairy Queen was flat out rude!

Hands down the best dairy queen! It's been so long since I've been to a dairy queen, but this by far is the best. They only serve ice cream, no food. The chocolate dip cone and heath bar are my favorite! Definitely recommend!

The Sanford Dairy Queen is a staple in this town, honestly, you can't say you are from Sanford unless you've been to this location. The store has been in business since 1953 and still maintains the original iconic look and retro design motif. This store has no indoor seating and limited outdoor seating. You basically pull up, place your order in left-side window, and pick it up in the right-side window. The staff have always been friendly and usually hook me up with Flurry ingredients. Although I usually go for the Flurries, I like to switch it up to a waffle bowl, banana split, or my childhood favorite, a soft serve vanilla ice cream covered in chocolate dip; they even have ice cream for dogs with little bones in them. As spring sets in, you might notice lines forming at this store even near closing time, which is 10pm. Regardless, the staff do an awesome job here and I have never had to wait more then 10-15 when its busy, but for the most part, I can get in and out in a few minutes. If you are not from the area, know that there is an outdoor laundromat right across the street (Park Ave) from Dairy Queen, so you can pop in for a sweet treat while you're waiting for you clothes to dry. Also, behind Dairy Queen and across S. Oak Ave there is a Dentist office there incase you need routine maintenance after your Dairy Queen Visit, haha! All-in-all, this is great little Dairy Queen store that is a must see. Although this store doesn't have items you see at a much larger Dairy Queens, such as fast-food items and larger cakes for purchase, it does have a decent variety of flavors to choose from, a great selection of toppings and ingredients, and management routinely adds/removes specials to keep things looking fresh.
