Friendly service, fair pricing, super friendly service. (Yes, it’s worth saying twice!) Even the tabletops will provide a giggle. Multiple dairy-free options. Everything we had was truly outstanding, but the strawberry rhubarb crumble ice cream may have been the best I’ve had in years.

“The oldest Dairy Queen in Minnesota and it was delightful! Nice sized portions and love the retro-feel. No complaints here! Well, the almost-required gratuity ask was a bit cringey, but if that's what is needed to keep employees, so be it. they were organized!“

“Love this DQ! I used to live near it many years ago and loved being able to walk to it. There's just something about standing outside ordering your treat that takes you back to a time when life was simpler. Everything taste like it should and the service is top notch. It can get busy at night as a lot of youth sports teams tend to stop there.“

“We own Midwest LifeShots Photography and recently had a fundraiser event in which all of our proceeds go to a local family in need. We reached out to Stam after a few others had turned us down and asked if they would be willing to donate some of their products to the families who were attending our event. They IMMEDIATELY got back to us with an enthusiastic YES!! They went above and beyond and donated a pack of medallions to each and every family. As fellow local business owners, it speaks VOLUMES to us when a business not only helps another business but doesn’t even think twice about helping the community. They will consistently have our support. Thank you!!!“

“From the moment we walked in and greeted with a happy smile hello to an accommodating substitute of a mix in to the FULL mixed bowl of ice cream...we knew THIS location cares!!!
We have visited numerous Cold Stone Creamery from around the country...and had begun to rethink CSC due to most having grumpy non-caring employees, rarely fill the bowl and do not ask for a substituted mix in.
Was so refreshing to have such a POSITIVE experience at this location. Thank You for bringing real customer service back!! Will see you again soon!“

“Great ice cream. I come here at reasonable times and get served no problem. I don’t come 1 minute before closing time like Desiree Franken does and expect employees to stay late because I am too entitled to realize how ridiculous that is. Get a life Desiree Franken!“

“Fast thinking with taking call in orders from your car ( the number was on their big sign) in the parking lot along with the drive through.“

“Crumbl Cookies is always fun with its rotating weekly menu and big, indulgent flavors. I love their super thick chocolate chip cookie, but I’m also a fan of their super thin version because the bottom caramelizes and gives it a perfect sweet crunch. I was also surprised by how much I enjoyed the Dubai Chocolate Cheesecake cookie even though I don’t normally like cheesecake. Great flavors, huge cookies and always something new to try.“

“so many different sections for my kids birthday👌“
