It is now 2026 and I came back for my yearly attempt. This time was better, but still not quite there yet. The guy at the window was moderately friendly, but only after I coaxed out a little bit from him with a joke. Before then he was very monotone, but there wasn't any customers so he might have been bored. Fair dues. Ordered the new chicken strips with garlic parm. Cooked well and tasted good. I had to wait by the mailbox for a bit for my order to come out, but I ordered chicken, so it probably wasn't up and ready at the moment. Can't hold that against them. I'll put them back into my fast food rotation because of this improved experience. Good job on whatever changes they needed to have made in the last few years. (Probably some employees) read more

Service was quick, wait was short! The person at the window seemed very upstanding and had a pleasant demeanor! I do recommend this location! read more

Usually this place is really slow but tonight service was okay. Food is mid. The place was pretty clean though. read more

See all

They need to hire more people or close that store down. They have two people total working and expect to run the drive through, front cashier, and kitchen. read more

The staff was super friendly. They stayed open until midnight on Thanksgiving. Food was hot and fresh. The kids got ice cream and it hit the spot. We did go through the drive thru it was super quick. Would go back while in the area! read more

Ordered bacon cheeseburgers. After a 10 minute wait at the drivethru winds I received a bag of food. The burger patties were cooked but cold, cheese didn't melt. No bacon at all! Tomatoes on the burgers were surprisingly good. Should have just went to Jack's up the street. Lesson learned read more

when I discovered there was a DQ in Columbus, I decided to give them a try. Ordered the 2 for $5 cheeseburger and i was stunned when I reached into the bag and the burger was HOT!!!! That is unheard of in Columbus. So 2 weeks later, I go back and order the same thing. This time, barely room temperature and they screwed the order up. Didn't take them long to become just as crappy as the rest of the burger doodles in Columbus. I won't be back. And if you'll read the Business Managers response to negative reviews you'll quickly notice its your standard boiler plate response to each one. Tells you they don't give a shit once they have your money. read more

This place is absurd. I cannot believe I just sat my fat ass in line for one hour to get three ice cream cones, and left the line with NONE. The staff at this establishment was rude, unwelcoming, and PLAIN ANGRY! We got to the window and the worker told us we would have to wait an hour for ice cream and we asked if we could get food instead. The worker CLOSED THE WINDOW ON US MID-SENTENCE and did not come back!! Don't go here! Boycott DQ Starkville! read more

It was lunch and I was craving a DQ meal.It may have been coming down and the streets were flooded and there was a tornado watch, but this place was worth it. The staff was so kind and were not annoyed we had come in the middle of a storm. I enjoyed the meal! Love this DQ read more

NO ONE ELSE IN LINE. "Please pull around." WHY?!?? I simply cannot stand places that do this. If it's a long line, maybe. But no one else even in line? Hell no. Then they bring my order out. Here ya go. Immediately walked away and back inside. I had to pull back through the drive through to get more ranch dressing. For a LARGE cheese curd they give you a 1 oz cup of sauce. It was 75 cents for another 1 oz cup of ranch. Absolutely ridiculous. Go somewhere else. read more

Ordered food and blizzard paid 60.00 worth of stuff and had DoorDash deliver. Delivery driver swore that Dairy Queen only gave blizzards. Other times food was bash and people are so rude and don't know what they are doing. read more

Let me start by saying that I love Dairy Queen... just not this Dairy Queen. The service is consistently poor. It almost makes you feel like they hate customers. We were the only people in line... and they still couldn't remember our order... asked us where the people in front of us went. There were no people in front of us because no self-respecting individual would put themselves through this version of hell. Guess I'm a glutton for punishment. Blizzards were good. read more

The service experienced here left much to be desired. Maybe it was an off day. Items were missing from my order. I wish there was more attention to simple details. read more

This is the saddest excuse for a Dairy Queen I've ever seen. Every time I've gone there over the years I have waited way too long for low quality food. Now I'm officially finished with this establishment. I walked in to order a cake and was so rudely told the lobby was closed. Once I tried to ask if/when I could order a cake I got a finger pointed at the door while she didn't even bother to pop her head back out. She was the most rude person I have ever dealt with at a food place. I wish I could give it 0 stars but I'm required to select at least one read more

Pitiful!! 12:30 pm no one in line or lot. Red flag already. Still went through drive-thru. Ordered, paid. Got a smashed and refrozen dilly bar. Wife wanted a chocolate cone. I could not comprehend what I was told next. "The ice cream was not cold" This is what this joint does. Bet they're still hiring. Nothing left to say, except don't go. read more

*Writing this review mainly because Adam B's review is trash and this business deserves better than him. This Dairy Queen is excellent. The service is speedy and the quality of food is above average for fast food. Of the many times myself and the people I know have been here we have yet to have an unsatisfactory experience beyond waiting in line with the mass of other people who enjoy the service and food as well. I would highly recommend this place to anyone, and by ALL MEANS, if you want to add some extra fudge or whatever you'd like to my food then go ahead. I know better than to assume the worst. :D read more

Very Unsanitary - Avoid this DQ. Went to DQ for a cookies n' cream Blizzard. It tasted fine at first. Then the closer I got toward the bottom of the cup the flavor began to change. So, I decided to stir it up to see that helped. At the bottom of the cup was a dark nasty sludge. It appeared to be caramel and chocolate fudge. Obviously since there isn't any chocolate fudge in cookies n cream the only explanation is they made my Blizzard in a dirty contaminated cup. It nearly made me sick from disgust not knowing what I had eaten. I'll never return. read more

Came in with my husband, mother in law and 3 children. We all ordered food, which came out a little at a time. When my food didn't show up for 10 minutes, I went to the counter to ask about it. I was told they were making it. I stood another 15 minutes watching everyone else's food come and go. Half an hour later, still no food. We were told they were short handed, but that's no reason to have a customer wait for half an hour while customers come and go with their food. No compensation or anything. We were going to purchase a cake after dinner for my daughter's birthday but not a chance. read more

avoid this place. we have went three times in last month. new to area and live across the street. first time the food was cold and missing items. gravy is really nasty when it is cold and a big clump. second time my husband went there to get food to go but walked across the street. they told him to go to a specific door to be let in. he watched as ppl ate, and a worker was let in but was ignored and left outside to just stand there. today i got food from drive thru again. ate a fry as they gave me the bag. fries were cold. went across the street and family complained their meals were cold. husband said the pickles were hotter than his burger. wait, what? ewwww lol. DQ chain food is great. this location is not. It seems i am not the only one these things are happening to. so i say they may be hazards to your health to eat here is they cant cook or keep foods at correct temps. so avoid this location until corporate gets in here and cleans this mess up read more

I know they are new, but the concept of putting lids on ice cream while telling others to block the drive thru to wait in their food is ridiculous. By the time they do decide to get the food to the person in front of you, your ice cream has melted all over your car's interior and you wasted $5. No thanks. Go to Bop's. read more

Swung by here for an early lunch, they had just opened. They were so kind over the headset, and we were treated very well. They got us our food very quickly, and the food was perfect! Both blizzards were mixed very well and the fries were fresh and the burger was cooked perfectly. 10/10 read more

this dairy queen is terribleeeee. ordered steak fingers.... they don't have steak fingers at this location. so i got chicken finger basket with cheese curds instead of fries. i asked for white gravy when i ordered and ranch for the curds. didn't get either. also did not have one cube of ice in my drink. andddd they gave me my food in some weird little cafeteria lookin serving plates instead of a box like every other dairy queen. read more

Dairy Queen Grill & Chill - Fast Food Near Me - Starkville, Mississippi

This is a terrible Dairy Queen. I don't go very often due to their poor service. The last three times I've been I was the only person in the drive through and it took 10 to fifteen minutes to receive my food. They rarely give you your receipt. The quality is sub par at best. read more

very clean restaurant...people friendly...fresh food and ice cream...fast paced...general manager is very understanding..great place overall
