Wanting a sweet and cold treat? Check this local place out. It is always busy for a reason! Quick and friendly service with a large variety of menu options to choose from. They also offer a drive through for convenience.

I live halfway between here and a Dairy Queen. Sadly they jacked their prices up 20% over the winter break where the other place stayed open all winter and hasn't had a ridiculous price hike. When they told me it was now $8 for a large malt I laughed and drove over to Dairy Queen where I'll always be going now I guess.

Before 2024, I would have up and down recommended Parlor City. This year their prices have doubled and some have gone up even more, and the quality is down. Disappointed to see them take advantage of price increases to this point

they lied to me and gave me peanut butter ice cream when I'm allergic to it and so I had to go to the hospital and almost died and their clothes when they said they're open

The food here is not very good but occasionally it could be decent. The ice cream here though is phenomenal! The service is amazing if you ignore the annoyed people every now and then. The atmosphere of this place is great making me feel like nothing has changed except for the fact that there is an old building that sells ice cream.

Someone needs to tell staff to not wrap hot fried food in tin foil or else it'll be soggy BUT ice cream is fantastic. Pistachio milk shake is so lovely.

Always a favorite... good sized Fudge Nutty bars - when DQ has decreased size of their Buster Bars they are now pretty tiny.

Ordered a dip top cone tonight and the kids working the window were laughing saying “dude that one really sucks” - before my cone was handed out. I almost said to take it back. The red dip covering was leaking off everywhere and onto the cone and napkin the girl handed me. To be exact it was the one she wiped it off with. Didn’t even have the decency to redo the cone and give me a new one… or even a new napkin. I shouldn’t have to ask for that… hire people with common sense and decency. Would’ve been 5 stars had the cone not been terrible and lopsided with stuff dripping off. I absolutely enjoyed being covered in ice cream on the 5 minute drive home. Next time I’ll go somewhere else. It’s the little things…
