This is one of the old original Dairy Queen's. No indoor seating, just a walk up window. No burgers or fries just ice cream ice cream ice cream! I used to come here as a kid. Great memories, very nostalgic. Same benches out front, same little windows that seem like to hide a magical land world of treats
, and then ice cream comes out!! Take a ride to the past and get a Dilly bar, banana split, or dipped cone here.

1) is average, but if you buy bigger 90% white ice cream after first two scoops. Cheap on the inside few things on top. All the buster bars and dilly bars halved in size. The prices higher then other local stores.

2) same people always there, usually have to stand around until someone wakes up sleeping in back. Has card fees, always a line, slow service, and asks for high tips.

3)in the ghetto, homeless people children and immigrants ask for money while your in line. Bars all over, drunks stumbling around.

Things to know~ is it windy or rainy, this place is only open if the sun is out.

Is it hot or cold, sun up or down. Expect it to open 2 hours late and close 2 hours early to the schedule if it’s not over 70 and sunny

Is there a holiday game or event today in the state, good chance it will be closed if there is *all day.

Is there anywhere to park, sometimes if college kids up the street partying aren’t using it.

Is it worth it, no go up the street 1st Ave has a better one.

I go to a Dairy Queen 1-2 times a month, this one always falls short of the rest. Always something that makes me go, wow waste of my time, let me just get back in my car and leave.

I've lived in cr for over 20 years and I can honestly say that I've only stopped here maybe 5 times. With every view the staff is friendly, they greet you with a smile and there has never been a time where I had to wait long for my order.

Wheelchair accessibility: With the way the building is, the walk up window is low to the ground and easily accessible for a wheelchair.

The drive through employee suggested an off the menu blizzard that was the best I've ever had.

Pretty sure it’s the owner that always seems to have an attitude and not very kid friendly. I support food service workers standing up against rude customers but she’s just plain rude when we were nothing but nice to her. She was shaking her head at us and talking rudely to a 3 year old. Asked for dip cones and was given dilly bars not sure if that was just because they didn’t wanna make the cones or what because we surely weren’t told about the change. I didn’t end up getting anything because I didn’t feel like inconveniencing her any further.

We ordered an ice cream cake for a birthday party. The cake was perfectly decorated and tasty. Great customer service, from ordering to pick up!

Seriously the best. We have driven across town to get the Blizzard Cakes for each one of our childrens' birthdays over the years (we have five kids) and every time they are DELICIOUS. Made right there onsite, never purchased elsewhere; extra fudge.... soooo good. Not to mention the customer service rocks. This is "our DQ!"

Nice for a treat if your taking a walk in the area. But older style treat so I dont believe they have hot food. I could be wrong..
