Three stars?! For shame! Y'all are sleeping on Dairy Queen. I truly am dumbfounded this establishment only has three stars. Every single time I've been in the last year or so, the customer service is truly top notch. Not a single side eye at my fat girl order in sight. This is a place I can be without shame when I want to completely demolish my half-assed attempt at a diet. Their cheese curds and house-made ranch is literally so good. Chef's kiss. Spectacular, give me 14 of them right now. As far as I know, they're the only fast food restaurant who makes their own ranch, and this just elevates everything in my opinion. I don't even feel like I need to comment on the ice cream offerings as it's ice cream and who doesn't love them some soft serve dipped cones or a decadent blizzard? This place is the GOAT. Tell me I'm wrong. I'm ready to read more

Surprise second review in one day! It has been Years since I've been to a Dairy Queen so I was interested to see how it would be all these years later. Grandpa surprised me by taking me here to grab some desert! It was completely empty inside, but it being 7 pm it wasn't too surprising. The booths inside were wooden seats and pillow back. Not the best seats, but not too bad. Thankfully we weren't seated on them for long. One thing I will say is I forgot how pricy this place is. Blizzards are just ice cream with toppings yet they're about as expensive as burgers or tenders. Completely ridiculous! I ordered a medium M&M Blizzard. It was good. Tasted exactly like what it is, ice cream with toppings. Good, expensive, but good. Overall, the price makes it very hard to recommend this place. The ice cream tastes good, nothing at all wrong with it, but it's just definitely too pricy for what it is. read more

Came for a treat and left with a smile and a full belly. We all ordered different things. 1 butter finger blizzard, chocolate donut blizzard, dipped chocolate cone and 2 cookie dough blizzards. They were all delicious and churned perfectly although we were disappointed that the cookie dough ones were more runny than we had remembered them. We wish there was more than just this location as it is a bit of a drive but all in all we had a nice afternoon out as a family. read more

We swung by Dairy Queen to get some sweet treats: a chocolate sundae, a chocolate dipped cone, a regular soft-serve of cone, and a Coke Zero. The shoppe was busy when we arrived, several customers were seated at the restaurant but no one was in line, so we were able to step right up to the counter and place our order; after a few minutes we received our orders, found a booth to sit in and enjoy our sweet treats. read more

Dairy Queen is definetly a treat considering how high their prices are these days. Whenever I am there though I get excellent customer service. Especially going through the drive through. I believe it's Hammy who is so kind and fun to talk to at the drive-through window. It's refreshing to see someone so excited and grateful to work there. Ice cream is always top notch (my favorite is a cotton candy blizzard), and the meal deals are the best! Just wish the place had more room to park and maneuver into. read more

We had took the kids there for a quick bite after trunk or treating. Prices are kind of up there for fast food. Place was clean thou. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Still not a bad place. They have lots of sweet treat options! read more

For what they charge for fries they should be fresh and crisp not old and soggy, shameful.Also 1 milkshake was $3.00 and another was 5.99 which in itself is shameful, but 2 different prices is absurd. That will teach us not to trust them and to check the receipt. 10.49 for a sad cheeseburger and soggy fries is not good either. DQ used to stand for quality, apparently not anymore. They should be ashamed. We won't be back any time soon. And we have heard that from quite a few other people. But the booths were clean and new a vast improvement. read more

Great staff, fast and clean! Greeted upon entry, helped with some new choices, everything as ordered. Perfect. Food is the normal 4/5. All desserts 5/5! read more

There are lots of fancy ice cream places around, but sometimes you just want a classic soft-serve treat. For those times, Dairy Queen in Sparks is a great choice. It's conveniently located off Prater Way. The drive-through can get a little backed up, and parking is even more limited, so we use the DQ app to place our order. Not only does it save time, but we also earn points toward future treats. Our order is ready by the time we get to the window. It's nothing fancy, but it's consistently good and hits the spot on a hot summer day. read more

The only DQ left in town and my kids are obsessed with having me drive across town to get a soft serve, these brownie sundaes, a blizzard and cheese curds. Service is hit or miss, but really what can you expect from teenagers? This latest trip was on a Sunday evening at my daughter's request. My toddler wanted a soft serve and my daughter asked for this Heath bar chocolate brownie Sundae and not her usual Heath bar blizzard and cheese curds. I drove across town and made it back before her ice cream melted. I refrained from ordering anything for myself. My coach/trainer would be proud. I hope they keep their doors open because I know my kids will send me on a mission here probably this weekend. Lol! Who knows it may be later today with all of the nice weather we've been having. read more

Went through the drive though to get some blizzards. Staff was friendly, drive through is clean, but didn't realize the price of a small blizzard. It was good, they turned it upside down, it was thick, but for the price, I can buy a gallon of ice cream. If you go, make sure you are a rewards member, that way you can earn free blizzards, cause their food prices are not that bad. Also an FYI, they don't have chocolate ice cream or maraschino cherries. I used to love to go and get the chocolate cherry love with maraschino cherries insinstead of cherry sauce and mixed with chocolate ice cream. Kind of ruined DQ for me. read more

It's okay. Service was poor. Staff was rude to us in the drive thru (seems like that's always the case...) but we got a caramel blizzard and it was bomb. Kinda expensive for what it is but sometimes when you're craving a blizzard you just gotta get a blizzard read more

The blizzard was very good I ordered extra cookie dough and brownie which was on point however I also ordered chicken strips and fries. The fries were extra dark old and crispy almost like potato chips. The chicken I could tell was cooked in old grease // will just stick to ice cream read more

Haley was amazing and cut my dog's burger patty in half!!! So kind and thoughtful!!

Wednesday night, it's a bit chilly out but ice cream sounds good. I ordered a strawberry Sunday and a small oreo blizzard with extra oreo only to recieve and extra side of see you next Tuesday from the gen x / millennial kid at the window. I was already feeling bad about stopping here and breaking my 3 hour diet and this made it worse. My strawberry Sunday was actually a Monday (because it sucked) And now I'm at home contemplating life due to the bad service and me forgetting I was lactose intolerant. Won't be coming here again read more

I will always rate the soft dipped cones a 10+. I ordered a cheeseburger with bacon and crispy fries. The burger was good but fries were not crispy nor were they hot. Price was expensive. Service was fine through the drive thru. I will only go back to have a small dipped cones. read more

It is a little pricey for what amount you get and the quality in my opinion. I had a number 11 which was just a cheeseburger onion rings and a drink and then there was another bacon cheeseburger fries and a drink and it came to almost $27! And as you can see in the picture my burger was nothing spectacular. The girl who took the order seemed kind of annoyed that I wasn't too sure which number meal I wanted but the little girl that was making the specialty drinks the shakes and things she was on it and just rocked it she was great. My burger had ketchup, too much mustard, cheese and a pickle that was it and the onion rings were cooked just a little bit too much there were a little too crunchy but they definitely were not greasy. read more

The food was subpar but service was amazing! Very friendly staff, Hammy saw my pups in the drive-thru and offered pup cups for them both. Blizzards were delicious as always. read more

Dairy Queen coupons for the win, always! Stopped by this evening for some buy one get one treats! So glad we still have our Dairy Queen in town for our late night sweet tooth cravings! We even got a pup cup for a four legged boy! Always good fast service! read more

Drove all the way for 8 miles to get a delicious hot fudge sundae!!! There were four cars in front, but they are so quick, I couldn't even do my Yelp check in. Since we ate dinner so early, it was only a matter of time for the hunger to set in.. Special was the two for 4 snacks! What a deal! Will be back for some delicious Dq burgers. read more

I got the 4 piece box with Texas toast and fried. I thought it was meant for Holly Hobbie. It is almost comical. The smallest chicken strips I have ever seen and the Texas toast is simply a piece of wonder bread read more

Worst experience at DQ today. For the prices that they are, (Very pricey), the staffs attitude, ice cream being way too soft, wrong order, ( passing it off as they don't carry chocolate ice cream, a lg looked like a med in a large cone) my experience... sucked. We were at the DQ in Carson recently, and they had chocolate soft serve. So I proceed to tell the girl at window after returning to it in the drive thru, that I think got the wrong order. I ordered chocolate ice cream dipped in chocolate. " Ya well we don't carry chocolate. we only carry it starting in October. Its a winter month flavor. " I told her Carson had it the other day. Ya, well we don't not here." Really DQ. train your staff to be polite. its not like you have 31 flavors there. get it together. Very dissatisfied to say the least! I had to give it 1 star to post review. I t may have received a 1/2 star cause the chocolate dip was the only thing right on the visit to DQ. Boo DQ! read more

Picked up Milk shakes on my way home from work for Mom and I. Speedy service! I generally end up in line for 10-15 minutes but today I was in and out in 5. I got a large chocolate shake absolutely delicious, could be a little thicker but great flavor! read more

It's the only one left in the Sparks Reno area and I go way out of my area just to get to this Dairy Queen and I have to say it's worth it. Great food and the ice cream is outstanding along with great service. I do wish there were more Dairy Queens in our area. Like going to the North read more

Cool Dairy Queen location. Picked up some goodies and food here on our way to Carson City. Got one of the chicken tender meals and some ice cream. Everything delicious. So many things to choose from. NIce to get comfort food on the road. read more

I rarely come to Dairy Queen unless I have a real hankering for a blizzard. Every time I eat the actual food at DQ (no matter the location), I leave feeling extremely nauseous and sick. I have never had a bad blizzard though, so they get three stars for that. I usually come through the drive through when they aren't busy and they're pretty quick. Staff is usually friendly and they keep the restaurant clean. However, I was a bit sticker shocked on this last visit. I wanted a mint brownie blizzard - size mini. $6 after tax!!! I'm sorry, that's just absolutely insane! Yes they're good, but they aren't worth that price. read more

There is only ONE DQ in town and we have to keep it around. We've already lost A&W - we can't lose another OG fast food restaurant. The ice cream here alone (Dilly Bars!) is a great reason to go. The restaurant is clean, restrooms too! The service was A+ and the kids were happy with their food and Oreo treat! Let's show DQ some love!!! read more

I recently decided to take the grandkids to Dairy Queen and was happy to see that they are open. We went through the drive thru so we wouldn't have to go inside since the parking lot is not very big. The line went pretty fast and when we got to order I noticed they now have a dairy free Dilly bar that is a coconut cream based ice cream. They have a large selection of dairy soft serve so I was extremely happy to be able to enjoy a treat with my grandkids. The young man at the drive thru was pleasant enough. I really was impressed with how fast the service was and we didn't have to wait in the hot car very long. read more

I love their burgers, fries and shakes. It's a nice place to get a soft serve ice cream cone or sundae. Service is usually prompt and the food is hot. No big deal on ambience, it's a clean fast food place at a decent price. read more

We live in the neighborhood and a bunch of the sunny days and summer the kids and I walk a few blocks to get treats. The food itself is honestly pricey for fast food but honestly it's ice cream we're after. I'm not a fan of the churro blizzard or snickerdoodle or anything with cinnamon because dare I say it tastes... play doh-y? Like how play doh smells. But literally everything else like the slushes, blizzards are good. I like the tenders with country gravy. My boys love the kids meals and love picking out a treat. read more

Full Disclosure: We have known the owners for years. We have even helped some teen friends get jobs here. It's a chain. But it's ICE CREAM!! Ice cream makes us all feel like little kids. DQ has a nostalgic feel to it for me. I remember as a kid having to drive to another city to get DQ. I always always got the banana split. It feels indulgent to me. Ice cream is indulgent. This is a very small quaint little part of Sparks history. Established in 1956. The DQ in Sparks started around the year of 1956. John Mayer, former Sparks City Councilman, has said that he used to come to this location as a child each spring when the business would open for the season and purchase a Banana Split. After several remodels and upgrades this location, which originally only had a walk up window, now features a drive thru and a dining room. I know several people who work here and they are people anyone can rave about. They are always professional, kind, and friendly. Service is quick and prompt for fast food. Plus the ice cream is something that makes me reminisce about days gone by. If you want to relive your childhood and bring back some cherished memories this is the place to stop. read more

I've been a huge DQ fan since I was able to look over the counter and order a cherry Mr. Misty! The location that was on McCarren and closer to us has closed, so this was a little out of our way. My husband had the large chocolate dipped chocolate cone and I had the butterscotch dipped vanilla cone. Nothing particularly spectacular. We had our dogs in the backseat, so my husband asked if they had any pup cups. The person taking drive thru orders said no, but when we got to the window, he asked again. The girl at the register said they don't have a button selection anymore but could give out some whipped cream in a small cup. Even though our puppies can't say thank you, I'll say it for them... Thank you DQ for the "pup cups" read more

Best place for soft serve hands down. We don't do the coated cone stuff. Just plain soft serve in a fresh and crunchy cone. By the way, the drive through personnel gave us a 'dime' that was a coin from some other country. Check the Change in the registers. read more
