National Free Cone Day (3/19) has officially become a family tradition for us and this DQ handled the chaos like a boss (mark your calendar for next year!). This is our second time participating (but 1st time at this location), and per usual, it's a hit with the kids. Shoutout to my fellow Elite friend Alice A. for the "scoop" (pun intended) on this day -- thank you! On a normal day, I imagine this location has your typical flow of customers. But on National Free Cone Day? It felt like every suburban Streamwood teenager showed up at once. We came around 5:30 PM after school, and there were lines out the door. That said, major kudos to the staff for handling the rush so well. They were clearly prepared, with batches of vanilla cones ready to go. The line moved quickly, and our wait was only about 5-8 minutes which is honestly not bad at all considering the crowd. You can get a free vanilla cone (no purchase necessary), but we opted to dip ours for $1 each both to support the business and the Children's Miracle Network. Plus, how do you say no to a chocolate-dipped cone? It's a great deal considering dipped cones usually range from about $3.79 to $5.49 depending on size. This year, they really expanded the dip flavors. In addition to classic chocolate, they offered cherry, confetti, mint crunchy cookie, and cotton candy. My husband and I stuck with chocolate (a classic for a reason). Our kids went with mint crunchy cookie and cotton candy. My oldest loved the mint crunchy cookie which was decent, and my youngest was all about the cotton candy. The cotton candy was definitely on the sweeter side, it's not for me but kids love it. Personally, chocolate is still my favorite. Seating inside was completely full, so most people grabbed their cones and headed out. Groups of kids and families were standing outside enjoying their treats, and with the weather in the upper 50s, it actually felt perfect for a pre-spring outing. They do have restrooms available, though we didn't use them. I also noticed several freezer cases stocked with ice cream cakes and treats for purchase. You can also check out their cake design book for custom ice cream cake orders. Honestly, the inner child in me will always want a DQ ice cream cake for my birthday -- I might have to come back for one this year. The staff was friendly and efficient, especially given how busy it was. The only small critique I noticed was the cones were shorter than usual, more of a single swirl instead of the classic taller double swirl shown in their menu (see photos for reference). But on a free promo day where they're serving a huge crowd, that's completely understandable. (They probably had to conserve stock to last throughout the day as the promotion goes till end of the night. So honestly, I'm not complaining when it was a free cone and we're donating for a good cause). Funny enough, my fellow Yelp Elite friend Alyssa G. went to a different DQ in Elmhurst later that evening and got a full double swirl treatment -- she sent me a picture and it looked fire, especially with the cherry dip. Definitely on my list to try next time! All in all, we had a great experience despite the crowds. If they can handle a day like this so smoothly, I can only imagine they run just as well on a regular day. Thanks, DQ, for the treat -- my family and I will definitely be back!

This was my first time visiting this Diary Queen location and left with mixed feelings. The inside is smaller with four tables to sit at inside and two tables out front. They had a very large freezer section to purchase cakes and dilly bars. I liked that their menu was easy to read and the staff posted extra "secret menu" suggestions. The tough parts of my visit was the service was extremely spotty so it was hard to pull up the app for coupons. There was one staff member working so she'd take an order, make the treat, deliver it, then move to the next customer. The signature blizzard flip was glossed over and rushed. She also had an unpleasant tone when saying I needed to tell her I had a coupon earlier after she told my husband she takes it at the end. We got the Mexican Hot Chocolate & Brown Sugar Cookie Dough Blizzards. They both tasted good and ingredients were evenly distributed. The inside appeared to be clean just out of date looking. read more

Love the blizzards here! They taste good and don't really spike my blood sugars like most ice cream does. I love the mini pumpkin pie blizzard and my husband had the caramel cookie crunch and said it was yummy too. He gets his with chocolate ice cream! We love when they have coupons, that is when we go here! We always receive service with a smile! read more

Worst Dairy Queen I've ever been to. Skimpy on the toppings for all three blizzards I ordered. One blizzard was even missing an ingredient (I asked for fudge and cookie dough and there was no fudge and hardly any cookie dough pieces). Paid over $22 for 2 small blizzards and 1 large blizzard that were mainly just vanilla soft serve. Definitely will not be back. read more

One of the best DQs around. They offer all the "secret menu" items (Hawaiian blizzard, anyone?), it's super clean, and the employees are very kind. They do the "flip" for all the blizzards to prove the ice cream is compacted in that cup. Also they can turn custom cake orders around in a few hours. DQ is a chain, but this place feels like a small business invested in their community. Happy to spend my $$$ here. read more

Good service, good food, good ambiance, affordable prices, clean area and workers are nice.

Ok, this is definitely a Diary Queen and they serve Dairy Queen things. However, the service here is great. We came in for an ice cream cake and got a rundown of all they had to offer, sizes, shapes, options, etc... But this wasn't done in a pushy fashion, rather it was very helpful. This is not a one-time thing; my wife mentioned she had a similar experience two months ago when she came here for a similar purpose. read more

This DQ is really got it going on.Good service, clean restautant. Friendly ownership. I go often because of that.

Amazing service and food! Owner is always very friendly. A very nice DQ and food is always good and fresh.

Just got home from this DQ. I got a peanut drumstick blizzard and chicken nuggets. Wow! Not one peanut in the "drumstick blizzard" and the chicken nuggets are inedible! The chicken tastes like it was cooked in very old grease and was not nearly hot enough. If you run this DQ, you better clean this place up because I am reporting you to the health department tomorrow read more

By far the best Dairy Queen I have ever been to we go at least twice a week and he will make you anything he can possibly whip up. His customer service is always great the new owner makes all the difference give the new owner another try! Great cherry cherry cherry blizzard. Thank you! read more

I had the oreo blizzard, the first blizzard I've had in at least 10 years lol. It was delicious with a thick consistency, exactly what I was craving that summer night. And as a bonus, the teen employee with braces was very friendly and nice :) They had a smores promotion and a tripleberry brownie flavor for that month. I definitely am curious about trying their banana cream pie and chocolate mud blizzard hehe. Blizzard prices: - mini $2.59 - small $3.29 - medium $4.19 - large $4.99 - additional mix-ins $0.59 read more

Dairy Queens seem to be about the same whenever I visit one. I don't really go for their food, but mostly for their most popular ice cream confection: The Blizzard My husband and I went into the newly separated from its Subway siamese twin store and ordered two Blizzards (a Oreo and a Heath). It took a few minutes for a person behind the counter to show up, but there was no one in the store at all, so, I don't blame the employee for going to the back room while waiting for customers to arrive. The store was clean and well stocked with ice cream cakes, ice cream rolls, and Dilly bars(ice cream bar on a stick). The woman served us promptly and we got our Blizzards and left. Fortunately, no lip or rudeness from the employee, she was pretty quiet. The Blizzards had a good amount of Oreo and Heath Bar pieces in there, not too much and not too little. It was as I remember Blizzards to be like. So, no complaints as to the consistancy, taste, or amount of mix-ins. My husband have been here before and have had no problems getting our soft serve Dairy Queen dipped cones for the kids and us. I would come here again if the crave for Blizzards came upon me again. read more

This is the best Dairy Queen! The owner is so nice, and accommodates all of my quirky requests. He trains his employees well. They're all very hospitable, professional, and quick on their feet. I've never been disappointed. read more

Nothing better than Dairy Queen ice cream on a hot evening. We took our kids there when they were little now we take the grandkids there as a super Sunday treat! read more

I have to agree with previous posters about the teen employees lack of friendliness and customer service. These kids couldn't even pretend that they wanted to help anyone. My daughter and I ordered our ice cream, the kid was rude and unfriendly. The girl that made my blizzard pretty much tossed it on the counter when it was ready, then my daughter waited for a few minutes for her ice cream and when it was ready,the kid tossed it on the counter and asked who ordered it. Really?? We were the ones to have placed on order, who do you think it belonged to? They gave her the wrong size lid for her ice cream dish, so when I picked it up to take with us when we were ready to leave, I dropped what ice cream was left all over myself. Just really crappy service and doesn't make me want to go back anytime soon. There are other locations just as close. My suggestion: never leave teens unsupervised to run a store. There should always be a manager on the premises and please do not tell me that either of these teens were managers. read more

THIS PLACE SUCKS!!!!! I took my daughter there yesterday after she saw a commercial for their hamburgers. We get there and they don't have hamburgers on their menu, so she ordered a Chili Cheese Dog Combo (comes with a small drink and a bag of chips) to go. We get home, she ate it and about 10-15 minutes later she's in the bathroom THROWING IT UP (don't want to be gross, but it was GROSS). I called the place to complain, they called the owner and then said he would call me back. He did call me and said that they had no other complaints of this happening. WHAT DO YOU THINK I JUST CAME OFF A BOAT OR WHAT, LIKE YOU'RE REALLY GOING TO TELL ME OTHER CUSTOMERS COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS. He offered me a $10 gift card to use at any Dairy Queen, LIKE I'LL EVER GO BACK TO A DAIRY QUEEN? read more

The best Dairy Queen ever. The owner is the friendliest and most helpful guy ever. Ever since he took over earlier this year, the store is immaculate and the quality has improved drastically. It's a staple in our home once a week. Highly recommend this location!! read more

This is by fair one of the nicest owned business located in the west suburbs! If your looking for a good selection of handmade ice cream cakes this would be the place to go. There was over 40 different flavors of homemade ice cream cakes available to purchase. Also, I gave this a five star rating, due to the friendliness of the staff and owner; where can you go and be greeted so kindly and feel appreciated that you where the paying customer by the owner of a business these days, well I just answered the question; The DQ off of Sutton Td, Streamwood. read more

My wife and I used to come to this location on a weekly basis. It was our treat to come here every Saturday night with our dog, sit outside and enjoy our ice cream. This happened less and less as the teen agers that worked there became more and more stuck up and mean. We stopped coming here months ago after one particular incident when we were standing in line. It was 10 minutes before store closing, and we had already been in line when one of the teen age girls working said that they would not take in any more customers. I was infuriated as we were already inside the store and there were still 10 minutes left before the store closed. They could have at least turned the "Closed" sign and served the remaining people inside. Instead, she gave everyone in the store an attitude. While others left, I stood my ground and demanded to be served. The mean bitch behind the counter refused to serve me so I yelled back and told her I was not going anywhere. After a brief argument, she went to the back of the store and never came back until finally another person served me. My wife and I then split off and raced home, hoping that bitch of a teen had not called her football jock boyfriend (and his possy) to confront us. That was a bad experience we will never forgot. Luckily, Oberweiss Ice Cream had just opened up in Bartlett and now we are regular clients there. read more

Try as they might, the teenagers that work here just don't get the customer service thing - it is just a job to them. This store lacks consistency in product presentation and quality. It lacks cleanliness. It lacks a manager or supervisor that really cares about the customer and the business on staff all the time. I say this because each time I have been there I have been disappointed for one reason or another and there is never an adult around. read more

Training for the love of God. And I couldn't leave "0" stars... Went for a bike ride and stopped for ice cream. The two girls that were "working" didn't have any training. I asked for plain vanilla with the peanut butter drizzle and whipped cream in a cup. I was told that they COULDN'T make that, because it wouldn't "stick" on the ice cream. I repeated the fact that all I wanted was plain vanilla with a little bit of the peanut butter topping, (while the other girl was chatting on her cell phone to a friend, it was obvious it wasn't a Dairy Queen work related call) the other girl figured out how to make that drizzle happen. It was gonna rain soon so we ate a little bit (I ate the bit of peanut butter that was on top) and we brought the rest of the ice cream home for after dinner..I just went to eat the rest of my ice cream which was just now, plain vanilla and at the bottom were chunks. Of something. I am not sure what the chunks were but I am hoping it was just pieces of an ice cream cone?? I don't want to even imagine how that would get into the bottom of the cup of my plain vanilla ice cream. But really grossed out. Next time we will hit up Steak N Shake... now remember this was plain vanilla ice cream.... or was it?!?! read more
