Stopped by this Dairy Queen and had a great experience. The service was good, the ice cream was amazing, and the burgers were really good too. read more

Eulanie was cleaning and scrubbing all the tables, chairs, and booths. We were so impressed! The food was hot and fresh and delicious. Service was excellent!!! read more

This is an ok place to get your typical Ice cream treats. The staff works hard and I think everywhere is short on staff. Expect a long wait and ok food. You get what you pay for and what you expect. If you love everything DQ this is the place for you. My kids love the dipped cones so here we are =) read more

So.... This is fast food, this is what you expect, we have all tried it. But I won't ever go here again, why? Because they sell mediocre food for twice what it cost anywhere else. These prices are sit down restaurant prices and they are obscene. You wanna charge this? Clean the place, serve the tables but you would still come up short. In other words don't come here. read more

Dairy Queen Grill & Chill - Fast Food Near Me - Custer, South Dakota

There were two cars ahead of me. Nearly a 15 minute wait before ordering. When I finally got to the window, they handed me the incorrect food. They took it back and asked if I had the malt and Blizzrard. I said yes and they closed the window . After waiting a few minutes more, the window opened and she stated the amount, I couldn't hear what she said, but I handed her a $20 bill. She started to hand back the change, and the receipt blew away. I had $3 and a few coins. when she handed the malt and Blizzard to me, she very quickly inverted and uprighted the Blizzard. I asked if a medium Blizzard and medium malt really costs almost $17.00? She responded yes that's right and quickly closed the window. I knocked on the window and asked why Hot Springs DQ was nearly $7 less for the same items. She said "we hear this every day - different owners I guess" and quickly closed the window. So, slow service, mistakes on the order, extremely overpriced, crappy attitude -and the Blizzard was runny. I try this DQ about once a year (we have only a few restaurants open in the off season) - and the outcome is always the same. read more

Me and my friends and my mom came here one day and the staff left right before I ordered and was gone for a full 10 minutes before he came back to get the last order. and then was gone for 20 minutes before we got our sundaes and overall was just kinda passive aggressive about serving us read more

The food was delicious and came out pretty quick, same with our ice cream. The staff were very friendly. The look of the place was very clean with beautiful wooden interior! read more

Service is trash. We waited in the lobby for 20 min just to place an order. And didn't receive the food into 15 min later!

This place sucks hard core, Service is horrid! We waited in line for over 15 mins and when we finally got our food I took a drink of my tea and it was basically water. I told the girl it was bad and asked to switch to a Pepsi. She called the manager and the manager told me she couldn't substitute it and I could have a Pepsi but it would be $3. So stupid!!! Terrible terrible terrible. Don't go here just burn you money instead! If I could give this place a zero stars I would! read more

I'm a fan of DQ chocolate milkshakes, and I've had a lot of them. A perfect one can be sucked through a straw. The one from this location could not. And because it came in a non-insulated cup, the outside edges quickly turned into just a cold drink. We enjoyed our shakes, but there's separation between the ones we got and the best DQ has to offer. read more

Said no cheese, extra pickle, got extra cheese, no pickles. Food was ok though. Good stop on the way back thru the mountains.

Closing at 8:00 really. Been there twice to order dinner but they were closed very discussd over situation will not go back to the Custer SD dairy queen. read more

I don't normally write reviews for fast food joints, but management needs to read this, especially since other reviews articulated the same problem. It was the SLOWEST fast food joint I've ever been to. We waited for our food for at least 10 minutes. Even after specific instructions for food (no tomatoes), they of course included tomatoes. read more

Incompetence on a scale usually reserved for the mentally challenged. The worst run restaurant ever? Maybe. We made the mistake of pulling into the drive thru lane and thirty minutes later STILL hadn't had our order taken. Let me reiterate: Thirty. Minutes. Later. By the time the nincompoop came onto the broken speaker for our order we declined and told him we were just going to leave to which he GIGGLED, "God bless!" Then we waited behind the ONE truck that had been waiting at the window the whole time another TEN MINUTES. By the time we gratefully left this disaster there was a line of five cars behind us (check out the picture) and we'd wasted FORTY MINUTES in a fast food drive thru line. This place is an utter disaster run by chimpanzees who literally DNGAF and think it's hilarious to waste your time. It needs visit from Gordon Ramsey with a flame thrower and the franchise owner put in stocks on Mt. Rushmore Road. Don't believe me? READ THE OTHER REVIEWS. If we had we wouldn't have bothered pulling in. Don't you make the same mistake. Avoid this place like the plague. Hopefully it'll go under and a hobo with a coffee can fire will take over... at least you'll get your food faster. read more

Dairy Queen Grill & Chill - Trapped behind five cars at the WORST DQ EVER for THIRTY MINUTES. - Fast Food Near Me - Custer, South Dakota

Second time this DQ has forgotten half our stuff especially the kids meal. And asked for 3 different sauces , got none and two out of three kids disnt get their meal read more

Been to many Dairy Queen's all over and this has to be the worst. Good luck getting warm food and not waiting forever in drive through. Not only was my food not warm but the crazy was frozen?? I thought they warmed that all day but I guess not. DONT GO TO CUSTERS DQ. Spend the money somewhere better. read more

This DQ has to take its place as the worst burger I've ever eaten in my 53 years on this earth. It was literally cold. The bun tasted 1-2 weeks old. No flavor at all. I found myself wanting a microwave to heat it up. The fries weren't much better, so I drowned them in ketchup. My other three family members had the same impression of their meals. Painstakingly slow service, then they got the order wrong, ugh! I do not know how this place stays in business! Do yourself a favor and steer clear of this business. read more

The employees were great and the service was very fast! It is a very small Dairy Queen with a tight parking lot but the food was amazing. The snack melts were very well put together instead of falling out like I usually get them. My husbands chicken strip basket was good as well. The bathrooms are clean but very tight but gets the job done. Great place to stop for a quick lunch while in town! A little pricey on some items though. read more

Small DQ and there was quite a line for drive thru, but the order taker was amazing and we had no issues with our ice cream order!

I will never go back to this place cook handling food puts hands in garbage can doesn't wash or sanitize hands goes back to handling food again so gross and unsanitary read more

Worst DQ ever. Twice we came in, stood at the counter with no one in front of us, and walked out without being served. No employees or adults in evidence. Two teenage customers rough housing behind the counter, helping themselves to drinks. Doesn't even seem like a going concern. Got roller dogs from the gas station down the street. Someday, after they've gone out of business, these franchisees are going to wonder why their business failed. It failed because they were absent, collecting profits without supervising their business. Tourists may go once, but they'll never attract locals. Check my reviews: I'm almost always very positive, or else I'm silent. If I can't say anything nice, I usually don't say anything. This place is truly abysmal. It lives in memory as THE WORST place I've ever been anywhere. read more

If I could give this place a half star I would . Myself and my pregnant wife got lunch there today 3-13-2022 it was horrible. My wifes bun was dry, stale and falling apart . There was rotten lettuce on her sandwich horrible just horrible . My order was wrong and my buns were also stale and falling apart . Unacceptable. I will never go there again and I will pass along to other local people here in the area and tell them not to waste there time or money . read more

Customer Service is sooooo bad. I requested to separate my bill from my friend's bill and the lady said can NOT do it because they were short of staffs. How simple my request was . And she was so rude.... This is how DQ serves. Sucks! I put 1 star but they deserve less. Zero star! read more

This fast food establishment was anything but fast. I was greeted with terse service at best. I was told my total then waited 5 minutes for our frozen blizzards. I then waited another 7 minutes for my two chicken tender baskets. Albeit they are fresh; BUT, they are far from busy. My blizzards melted all over my car. You would think the woman handling the drive through could use critical thinking skills to bide the time gap more efficiently. read more

All of the other dessert stores were closed on a Tuesday night in Custer so we picked Dairy Queen. Most of the reviews for this location were negative but our service was great! The line went fast and our ice cream was 10/10. read more

Not the fastest drive thru, but also not as painstakingly slow as others have experienced. The blizzards we got were excellently made, though, so the short wait was completely worth the time. Not all DQs make blizzard this good - they definitely didn't skimp on the mix-ins. This place was A-OK in my book. read more

As far as Dairy Queen goes when you visit for ice cream it's pretty much a good deal. However while standing in line tonight the "manager" came out and abruptly informed us how slammed they were and that we were just going to have to be patient. No one in our party was in a hurry nor did we act discontented while there. Then as we acted surprised by her comments they viewed it as a complaint and she came out again to "confront" us. I understand stress. But how you handle it makes the difference. read more

Super slow drive-thru. Who puts butterscotch in a butterfinger blizzard? Gross. The dog enjoyed her cheeseburger though. read more

Food was okay, but all the staff had a kind of "you are an inconvenience to me" type of attitude. Restaurant is very cramped, and even the parking lot is poorly laid out. Even with the staff, or food did get cooked and out to us pretty quickly and everything was correct. My daughter said their RANCH DRESSING CUPS was the best she had ever tasted. read more

Very dirty restaurant. Mushroom burger was so gross. Mushroom sauce was a congealed concoction on the meat. Kind of hard to mess up their milkshake products but because of the dirty environment, I question how clean their machines and hands are.... read more

This is the most DISGUSTING! Restaurant i have ever seen. Flys everywhere, nobody at the counter to take my order, slow, timy bathroom, and a complete shit hole. Vegetables are soggy and odd looking, and very overpriced. read more

The staff can use an attitude adjustment. The guy I dealt with went storming through the shop looking for me, said "This you?!?" as though I had done something wrong, and basically tossed my tray at me. Makes me wonder if I had an extra helping of someone-else's-spit with my burger. read more

If I could give this a zero I would. At 11:59am we pulled into the drive thru. We waited 12 min to have our order taken, when it was finally taken it was wrong. We pulled up to the window where a woman named Laura took our correct order. While it was being made we watched food being heated up in the microwave, food was pulled out of a fridge and the fridge was left wide open for three minutes, workers were literally standing around watching others work while there for seven people in the drive thru. When we finally got our order about 15 minutes later we had an item missing and two items we never ordered. Laura said that the person before us must have driven off (no they did not). She ripped the bag out of my sister's hand and slammed the window in her face. She came back ten minutes later with half the order and when we asked for the rest of the order she argued with us saying she had already given us the order. We explained it was the wrong order and she again started about how people drove off, two people quit, she did not have time for this. Again she slammed her window. When she came back with the rest of the order she handed it to us and we found out that they had put our remaining sandwich in a bag UNWRAPPED, there was nothing covering it. When we asked for a manager Laura stated she is the manager and what did we want from her, she gave us our food. When my sister said we wanted our money back and to take the food back she grabbed the receipt, slammed the window in my sisters face, returned the money and told us to leave so she could help other people. The food was disgusting, greasy and cold. We have told about two dozen people about this experience. Outside the DQ location we went to there was a carpenters bucket that was catching water leaking from the restaurant with such a film on it you could tell it had been there days and is a breading ground for bugs. I wonder what the health department would think of that. By the time we left it was 12:49pm, it took 50 minutes for this ordeal. It was my first experience eating regular food at DQ and I will never do it again. read more

This poor DQ seemed to be under-staffed. Long line that lasted forever. Food came promptly, but with many missing items (which then you had to wait in line again to get them). Looked like only 2-3 people were working and at one point I wanted to help them because they were so backed up. Lots of flies and the tables really needed to be cleaned. The ice cream did taste good, however, I'm not so sure I would recommend this place unless you notice there is no line to order your food. read more

Place was mostly empty with 4 people working there, They could see us standing at the counter but nobody would come out and wait on us. We let them know we needed help. A reluctant non-smiling employee finally came out and asked us rather unfriendly what we wanted. We ordered and even gave a tip. When our order was ready, the same employee came back, handed us our food, no comment, no smile, no thanks for coming and turned around and walked away. We won't be back. Funny sign on the way out stating that they pride themselves on their friendliness and was signed by all the employees. Well, at least we had a laugh. read more

Not a bad DQ. Service was a little slow, but it was busy. Food was good. Only problem is flies sometimes outnumber customers.

My husband and I were there yesterday evening and we order the #7 & #8 with two blizzards. We told them to bring the blizzards out last after we are done eating. We got the blizzards first and they were completely melted. And the girl brought out our food slammed our food down on top of our traveling book we were looking at. She was very rude and rushed back all because of her boyfriend was there. We are not to happy with this type of service. We never had this type of problem with any of the Dairy Queens until now. read more

Very slow...incompetent employees. Waited thirty minutes for two medium blizzards. Got extremely frustrated and the manager was kind enough to give our money back but still had to wait for our blizzards. Pretty nice gesture, however when we got our medium blizzards, they were smalls and mine did not have chocolate ice cream as I had asked for. Absolutely awful place. read more
