We really wanted to get a pumpkin blizzard. This is something my family enjoys once the fall flavors come in The service was really good. Our Blizzards were brought out to us. We also ordered chicken strips that we did not particularly like. Kinda dried out and old. You should go get a blizzard however read more

Would give negative 5 stars if I could. We just got home after picking up 3 Blizzards for the family. I'm not sure what we got, but they were the most rancid tasting things I've ever had at a restaurant before. One of them tasted like either something REALLY spoiled was used, or maybe some cleaning chemicals got into it or something else I don't even want to think about. Another tasted horrible but not nearly as bad, and the third one seemed OK but we weren't going to trust it after the other 2. My wife tried it too, just to make sure it wasn't just me, but it was clear that something was VERY wrong with the food. I put it in the freezer for now to make sure I have it on hand in case we get sick as I'm half tempted to bring it to someplace to be tested for poison or chemicals. I tried calling the restaurant and just get a "the voicemail box isn't setup" recording for 30 mins straight so gave up. I tried going to DQ's website, including the link they share on responses here, but apparently they don't have any corporate oversight and just blame everything on individual franchises. No contact info for any owner other than a phone number that doesn't work. Well lesson learned, never going back here again. I'll dispute it with my credit card since they don't care about letting people actually contact them for issues. But to everyone else, better check your food before you leave here because whatever they gave us was beyond disgusting. read more

My personal favorite is the #9 Combo meal with a large fry and a large Coke. I work weekends nearby and usually twice a month (at least) I stop here and order dinner, at the drive up window. They NEVER disappoint me, the burger is always HOT (not warm), so are the fries. No matter how busy they are the staff is friendly and the food is served quickly. read more

We gave in to a late night craving and ordered two special blizzards- cookies and cream as well as marshmallow aka Fluffernutter. Were on cloud nine while devouring. Then things changed. Both sick as dogs, all night, and into the morning. Not sure what but it's in the avoid list now read more

Food came a bit slow, but the food made up for it! The "Royal New York Cheesecake Blizzard," is amazing, would recommend. The place was very clean and had good music playing. read more

Always out of key ingredients like fudge, peanuts etc. very disappointing. Other times the order is wrong.

This is a really great place. They have custom cakes and all sorts of fantastic items and they even ask you when you're ordering your meal if you'd like your dessert later great experience great staff read more

went to Dairy Queen for desserts for my grandchildren. Ordered two items. The drive-through window and ledge was extremely filthy. There was food all splashed all over. I told that I will not be back unless they clean up the place. read more

They had to make my chili dogs twice because they done them wrong and when I finally did get them made right the hot dogs were like rubber they were nasty I couldn't even eat them read more

I take my family to this Dairy Queen a couple of times a month as we are typically big fans. But the last 3-4 times we've been there, we've left feeling short-changed. Tonight, for example, three of us ordered Blizzards with a variety of bites added. It was expensive, costing more than $17 for three small Blizzards. We were happy to pay because we love the products. As we dug into our desserts, they all seemed packed full of the extra bites we paid for. But as we got through the top 1/4 layer, we realized the rest of the cup was just ice cream. There was no sign of the bites we paid for. It was as if they simply filled a cup with soft serve and topped it with pieces of Oreo cookies and cookie dough bites. We didn't even finish our desserts...what a waste of money and time. We're done with this establishment and will encourage everyone we know to seek their desserts elsewhere. read more

Dairy Queen Grill & Chill - Where's the bites? - Fast Food Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

I was a regular here and would eat there 1-2 times a week, but after the experience I had, this Dairy Queen is Banished Permanently! I'm thankful there are several other ice cream shops nearby as I'll be taking my business elsewhere. read more

I'm rating this Dairy Queen Grill & Chill a 4 stars for the customer service that was received on the day I went in. Although, if there were half stars, I'd down rate to 3.5 due to an interaction witnessed behind the scenes. I had two other people in my party there were three different orders on one bill. Two ice creams (with different hard topping) and one mini blizzard. While we had a little trouble using the mobile app coupon for the blizzard, the cashier who helped us, took her time to figure out why it wasn't working on first swipe. Once we got everything paid for, my party got their cones while I waited for my blizzard. The down rate comes next. The cashier that patiently helped us, was trying to rally her employees to better serve the line. She must have been the person in charge for the night or a manager because she kept telling the workers where to be and how to be, in order to expedite everything quicker and while customers were waiting for their orders. This is not a bad thing - she was reminding the co workers how to manage their time in the back while multiple orders were being placed (no need to have 2 people hang out at the drive up window where 2 -3 people are needed to make ice cream and meals). My gripe is that she could have done this a little softer, where customers would not hear it. There wasn't a lot of people in the lobby at that point, but it got a tiny bit loud because one of the workers wasn't paying much attention. Again, not her fault completely, as she did make the attempt to remain calm. I think the lack of customers made things echo. The redemption was when my blizzard came out and she did the upside down trick. I learned that you can hold the cup upside down with the mix in it, for so long before it comes spilling out. She did it a couple times and we joked about it. Really worth standing there because it turned out to be quite the fun trick, and learning something new about the dessert is always good. We paid it forward by giving a couple kids some coupons we knew we wouldn't use and they were over the moon that a random stranger would do such a thing... they ended up using a couple while we sat there with our ice creams. read more

Its a dairy queen. Always fill the cups to full so the icream starts melting . Lucky we carry spare napkins.

I ordered a burger and hotdog with ketchup and mustard but instead got a hotdog with mayo and no burger but fries instead. It's insane to me how this order was so wrong. read more

waited forever for a cashier to take my order. then she charged me 2.82 for a small cone when the price list said 1.89.

Went here today two cupfections heath cupfections and asked that they use gloves. They used gloves but gave us a Brownie that was not warmed heath loaded so much that you couldn't even digest it nor taste the ice cream. Trashed it because it was so unedible. read more

2nd time I come to get a frosted animal cookie blizzard and instead of telling me they're out of the frosting they use Cotton candy flavored cone dip instead. Taste awful. I rather them just tell me they don't have the frosting so I can just get the vanilla ice cream with cookies only, instead of wasting my money on an awful a tasting concoction. read more

Very rude management. They gave us an incomplete order3 times, which is frustrating, but happens. However the more mistakes they made the ruder they became read more

It's not possible to leave zero stars or I would. This location had the worst customer service at the drive thru window I've ever experienced. We were talked to like we were stupid and continuously talked over. Will never go back. read more

The food here was very good. Just like the DQ I used to eat as a kid. The thing that really makes them stand out was the service. The staff was great and a mistake with my order was quickly corrected. read more

Me and the wife stopped here on are way to Costco. We went thru the drive thru and ordered two double cheeseburgers and onion rigs and drinks and I also ordered a Chili Hot Dog with onions. We ate it in there parking lot well the service was good and quick. The hamburgers were Dry and only had one Pickle and hardly no Ketchup or mustard sand they were cold the onion rings were the only thing that tasted good. The hot dog was small and cold with no taste to the chili. We will not go back it ran us $24 read more

First off I'm old school so I love DQ. Took my grandson for dinner. He ordered a kids meal (grilled cheese) nothing about his sandwich was grilled. Maybe warmed a bit. Him being neurodivergent could not eat it. The fries were warm ( it was dinner time) not fresh cooked. Fries that had sat under a warming bulb. He also got a under the rainbow shake which looked nothing like the picture. An additional $4.98 I think. He said it tasted "icky " and it did. Very artificial so when the manager walked by we told her about the shake and she said well sorry honey that's the way they taste there's nothing I can do about it. I said really? A burger and kids meal for 28.00? She gave him a small cup of ice cream. But did she? Not really because his kids meal came with a small cup. That's our last time there. Also besides the rude manager, if you're going to walk around and check things how about clean the tables instead of acting like a big shot with little kids. read more

Was charged for a fish sandwich. Was later told they did not have any. Was told they could give me a cheeseburger instead, a cheaper item

I'm hate to give places two stars but this DQ was terrible. Their idea of a strawberry milkshake was a melted vanilla shake with large chunks of strawberry that clogged the straw. It tasted disgusting and I feel short changed for spending $10 on two small products that we weren't satisfied with. read more

This location is the closest thing that's not a gas station to my office. I checked the online menu to make sure they have some form of a salad and head to pick something up between meetings. Crispy Chicken BLT salad and back to work I go. Everyone was polite and it wasn't extremely slow. But then I get to work and open my salad. I'm not sure what the B in BLT stands for but I thought it was bacon. I also assumed my entree salad would have more than 1 chicken strip on it. While everything tasted fine, I'm more than disappointed that it appears I got a side salad with 1 chicken strip slapped on it and not the salad I ordered and paid for. I'm all for being understanding during COVID, but you also need to do your job and not screw your customers. Do better DQ. read more

I drive a truck so I can not go through the drive thru. And state law allows 50% capacity inside the restaurant, instead they have the dine in area closed. If you like getting stuff eat at places that make accommodations for the people who deliver your stuff not here. read more

I'm giving one star because they actually succeeded in putting ice cream in my cup. This was a bad experience. We came in as a group of 7 and here were the issues 1. Everyone who got blizzards got a melty mess. The "fudge" core is a spoonful of fudge and the entire top was melted. When it was remade they did the flip to prove the blizzard was cold and all the fudge fell out of the cup onto the floor 2. Someone got chocolate ice cream in a cone. It came in a cup. When she requested it be in a cone they put a cone on her cup and did not put any in a cone. 3. Everyone in the store had this problem and multiple people requested their money back 4. The person who got a caramel milkshake stated "it tasted like milk with a little caramel" *this is nothing against the cashier, she did her best Solution - everyone needs better training read more

Been here multiple times, always takes forever. The staff has no clue what they are doing and have consistently messed up my order. The last time I went I basically told them how to make a misty freeze as they clearly do not know how, and they still messed it up. Absolutely pathetic and terrible. read more

I love them! They were very accommodating to all of my needs and was never rude. I will go again. There's multiple yummy ice creams for all ages and whatever size you desire. read more

It's ok , but now I won't be going. They stop serving orange Julius, other location have them. Just this location I guess Too much work , it's my favorite and the only reason why I go there . Why they insist on putting the bbq sauce container inside with the food kind of gross me out . Because the sauce container probably has been touch by a few people , not everyone has clean hands working there . I see the girl handling my money then turn around a few minutes later and grab the sauce and put it inside the chicken strip box . read more

Second time I've been here in 3 days. Burgers are FANTASTIC! Flavorful and juicy. Amazing what $5 can get you. The staff on both days were different. Bad business practice to charge an additional $0.69 to SUBSTITUTE an ingredient rather than just make the substitution for a blizzard order.Two days ago it wasn't even a discussion. Today it was an issue. Bad move and it has left quite a bad taste in my mouth. Just unnecessary... read more

We came here a few weeks ago and were served by a young man who had just started working here. I remember him being very pleasant, attentive and coming out to the dining room to check up on our experience. The food was as expected "Dairy Queen Delicious ". Anyway, we returned and saw the same young man again, probably one of the most kind, respectful and pleasant young men I've seen lately. He remembered us and again gave exceptionally great service! To the parents who raised him, "Bravo, be proud" and to the manager that hired him, I recommend you continue to train him because he'll one day be running a store should he continue in this field. Anthony, thank you for your great service, I see a bright future ahead of you! read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE! Manager had a Nasty Attitude. Food was wrong and nasty... Here's the set up. We placed a large order for a family of 7, we were asked to pull forward and wait for our food. (As expected) a few minutes later another vehicle with 2 people in it parked next to us and waited on their food as well.. An employee brought the food out and gave us half our order and gave the other half to the vehicle next to us. One of the people in that vehicle began endulging in the fries then Realized the order was not theirs and told the DQ employee. The employee comfirmed it was our order and the manager came out in a very bad mood. She told us she would remake the food. With in atleast 20 seconds of them walking back into the resturant, they brought our food back out.(obviously didn't remake the order) We left got home and almost all the fries were gone. The burgers were very dry and absolutly disgusting. The pretzels were ice cold and so was the queso dip, the dip was actually in clumps. None of the sauces we asked for with the chicken was right. Completely opposite of what we asked for. An absolute waste of 50 bucks. And as for the shitty "manager" no undershirt half buttoned and half tucked in, looked and acted very unprofessional... This was our 1st time at DQ and it was our last too. I will never go their again! read more

Went through their drive through about 5 minutes ago for some food and blizzards. Got our stuff, no cars behind us, decided to hand out food and napkins. About 10 seconds into distributing the food, a girl opens up the drive thru window and YELLS at us! She stated we were running up her drive thru time and that we need to pull up. Mind you, zero cars behind us! This girl could have asked in a polite manner to pull our vehicle forward, but decided to scream, act in a confrontational and aggressive manner, and demand we pull up! We were dumbfounded by this girl with an obvious power trip! Icing on the cake is that they shorted us on our food order. Very very poor people skills and customer service! read more

Just had a wonderful chicken basket and ice cream. The total was $5.00.. What a great deal. Staff was friendly and food was fresh..I will be back again.. . read more

I don't know why there are so many 1 star reviews... this is my go to location for Dairy Queen food and blizzards. Their drive through is surprisingly fast and the food is always hot or at least very warm. Never had an issue with them. They may have some younger employees working there but none caused any disturbances even when eating inside. They seem to do their job very well. Honestly this is a great location to go to. Very clean and new looking. I have been to many DQs around Bradenton/Sarasota and this is the newest and nicest I've found. The one on 70 is decent as well. read more

Terrible customer service. Did not get the order straight. Forgot one item. Saw one of the employees washing down the seats and then do the table with the same cloth. Not very sanitary. Owner needs to step up and improve their customer service. read more
