“I was there for soft opening night. All the staff were so very friendly and the food was great! So happy to have them in our community!“

“Very impressed with this Dairy Queen store location. Dairy Queen is a top favorite with my wife and kids so I have been to many locations in MN and WI. I had never been to this location so called to confirm they sold cakes. The customer service on the phone was upbeat and friendly. The service at the store when I arrive was equal to the call (friendly and helpful). While I waited for the cake (very quick) to be personalized, I observed great and efficient service for each customer in line. Great store!! Until next time.“

“My coworker is local and said I had to try it. I’m glad I did. We all got the Western Burger and Cheese Fries and it was sooo good! The flavors were dynamic. Perfectly cooked, savory and sweet. Then there was their Fry Seasoning and White Sauce…bottle it up and sell it! I don’t know what the ingredients were but OMG I’d buy it by the pound. The location was clean and fun. The people were friendly and service was great! A++“

“We came here in passing on the way home from the butcher snd we are glad we stopped. It seemed like a cool spot with outdoor seating and indoor seating but looked like a local hot spot.

When we walked in we were instantly greeted and the guy who take care of us was very helpful and service oriented. He shared with us his favorite items as well as customer favorites which helped us narrow down our choices from the large menu.

The food was amazing! I got the hash sandwich which had the perfect crunch, juiciness, and satisfaction while my wife got the Nutella waffle was Rich, savory and delicious!

The only complaint was the fries were awful. They felt like I got left over let me finish this batch of fries. Lots were stuck together, they didn’t have a crisp soft crunch or taste good. It because I was so satisfied with the bash sandwich I didn’t feel dissatisfied.

I’d come back but make sure my fries are better.“

“This place is so extremely clean!!!!!! The food is fantastic you can tell they care about their service. They’re fast. And kind!!!!!! I’m not even kidding the kids area is the cleaning I’ve ever seen. The amount of food you get for the price is unreal. 1000/10 recommend“

“Positive and fast service with good food. Been trying pastrami burgers from different locales and Barry's was very good. Not a much sauce as some places but I was reminded that this pleases some people. The fries were especially good and hot. Parking is difficult and it is a walk-in, can't just it in the car in the parking and expects service to come to you...“

“Came to Santaqueen Drive-In as a normal, innocent customer. Left changed forever.

First off, Kylah was on the grill and I could tell. Every burger came off that grill like it had a college degree and a future. Perfectly cooked, dripping in flavor, and clearly made by someone who takes their grill duties personally. I don’t know what seasoning she used, but I’m convinced it’s classified.

Over at the fryer was Rachel, and let me just say—those fries were in good hands. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and dangerously addictive. I swear she looked at the fries once and they just knew to come out perfect. If loving fries this much is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

Then there were the waitresses, Brynlee and Anaya, who ran that place like a well-organized circus. Orders taken with confidence, food delivered at lightning speed, and jokes thrown in for free. I asked one question and got my food, a smile, and a personality upgrade.

The food? Unreal. The service? Elite. The vibes? Somewhere between “small-town classic” and “five-star chaos.” I came hungry and left questioning why this isn’t a Michelin-star establishment.

10/10. Would trust this entire crew with my last meal. Santaqueen Drive-In isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a lifestyle.“

“Yes I do!! Amazing service☕️🍳🥞“

“fish and chips, double meat double cheese and seabugers!“

“I just went through the drive through on a busy Friday evening. The young man taking my order was so positive and enthusiastic. He kept saying, ”Sure! We can make that for you!” He called me by name and asked how I was doing at the window. He had me pull forward and in literally 30 seconds they brought me my piping hot food. That young man called me by name and told me to have a good evening. The concrete mixer is my favorite! My fries and hamburger were hot and delicious. I think whoever is running this Culver’s must be a fantastic trainer and manager. Thank you for such a lovely experience.“
