“Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly and understanding and peaceful only down side is the servers and service people were gross saying they pee on the food and being very rude to customers and they do it behind the managers back and they give u nasty looks.“

“Went to DQ tonight with my 3 littles and had a great experience. The young staff was very friendly and attentive and kept smiles on my children’s faces.“

“I stopped in today with my daughter. It has been many years since we've dined at this location due to it being out of the way.The employees were great! I encourage my 9 year old to order her food for social practice. The 2 working today were very friendly and helpful.Once one of them heard she had a leopard gecko for a pet, the stories and pet pictures came out. When we left, she asked, "Can we come here again? That guy was really nice!"Great job!
Kid-friendliness: The staff made my 9 year old feel important and walked her through all of her options for the sandwich, toppings, and sides!“

“Back in the late 70's, 1970's that is, a girl I worked with down in Carbondale introduced me to one of my favorite treats, the chocolate-banana malt. Let me tell you that DQ made a terrific one that I have found it difficult to come close to at any other DQ's.
However, within 20 or so miles of me there at least 5 or 6 DQ locations that I have tried BUT NONE HAVE MATCHED consistently the DQ in Virden, Illinois!!
Let me explain.
For the most part the staff are teenagers, probably still in school (I usually come by this location on the way home after 8pm, or, occasionally I will have lunch there and a supper.)
What makes this location standout are these young adults. I assume they are local, and I'm not faulting anyone else there who are older, it's just that as a group these "kids" (I'm in my late 60's) are some of the most genuine, caring and hard-working individuals you will ever have the fortune to meet. And by God, they will create the best treats and other food items just the way you want them AND their attitudes are upbeat and positive.
I just can't say enough about them. It's personal for me when it comes to service and the quality of what you order and they deliver!
While I am not riding around on my Honda 350 and stopping by for my chocolate-banana malt like I did 43+ years ago , they make it seem like I am back at SIU-C and living life with a smile.
Thank you Dairy Queen in Virden, Illinois for allowing me to not only harken back to a simpler time with good people who aren't angry AND putting a smile on my face while I savor the items I order from you.“
