Dairy Queen

All the reviews on here are highly misleading. We loved this place! The ice cream was perfect. The service was great. We got blizzards. Also, the best play area ever. amazing! We will be back next week to try the food.

So, I hadn’t eaten much all day. I had promised my son ice cream. I figured I’d go here and get some. Worst mistake ever. I paid 20 for moldy rotten food. My whole order was messed up. The hamburger I ordered, which the woman couldn’t understand, I said no tomatoes yes on lettuce. I’m allergic to tomatoes. THere were tomatoes. And a soggy bun. And a moldy bun. I could smell it. No I could not eat afterwards. Which you know, ruined my blood sugar, which was already screwed up from not eating. That parts not their fault though.
My son’s ice cream was… Not pleasant. I asked for a cup of strawberry ice cream with a cone on top. They said they only had a blizzard which is okay.
After they had me pulled off to the side and wait twenty minutes, they gave me the crappy food. I sat there trying to ask where my desserts were and the lady had no idea what I was talking about. I pulled out the receipt I indeed bought two. She gave me the ‘oh, sh! t’ expression before rushing off. She gave me the messed up order. A cup with a cone in it. Ice cream in another cup. My son had to dump the ice cream in the cup since there was absolutely no room in the other. That was as messy as it sounds. In the car. It got everywhere.
I had to wait until I got home four hours later to eat and even then I felt like throwing up.
This experience was horrible. Never again. Sorry.

Good food. Ate here for lunch after a long day driving through the desolation that is central Nevada! Fallon is a nice little town before that truck stop called Reno, and this DQ is a good place to stop. $ 5 buck lunches were ready quickly and were tasty. The play area for the kids was a nice break for all of us after being cooped up in the car all day. Nice place to stop for a treat and to stretch your legs.

Something always goes wrong when we go to the Dairy Queen just this evening me and my wife went to go get blizzards by the time we got them inside the vehicle they are already started to melt so bad that they were leaking all over my cup holder and made it onto my car floor in less than a five minute drive home

The Dairy Queen remodels look amazing! There are few places to choose from for kids activities and I am ecstatic that they have such an awesome kids play area. Such a gift to the community! I saw negative reviews regarding no food allowed in the play area and parental supervision required. My response to that is, good job D.Q.!! As a parent I am relieved to have a sanitary place for my kids to play before or after we eat as a family! Unattended children are often older children that put other smaller kids at risk. On the flip side, smaller children unattended are at risk and parents should be with them. The menu is refreshingly different. They have tons of blizzard flavors. I ordered a Parmesan chicken sandwich that had really good bread and resembled a home cooked meal. It didn’t feel like fast food, it is more of a family friendly mom and pops. I noticed signs that said fan food not fast food. I am happy to have a fast food place transitioning toward quality and family fun instead of fast and not so fresh. I didn’t mind waiting 5 minutes to have my order made fresh, as explained by the friendly cashier. It seems like the owner extends job opportunities to high school students and I recognized many of them and know that they are really good kids. Thank you DQ!!!

We ordered two ice creams got to the window and paid and they had us pull to the side so it can seem like they got rid of us faster than they did. No biggie but still kinda annoying we only had two things we shouldn’t have to pull to the side. I asked for a mini mint they asked blizzard or regular I said blizzard. They bring it out say here’s your mint blizzard and we leave I look down at my blizzard and it looked nothing like mint ice cream. I tried thinking maybe I’m just crazy… It was Heath they gave me a Heath blizzard. Come on how the hell do you mess that up? You guys were slow and even brought it out to me and called it mint!

My family and I eat there often, but the service has gone down hill every time. This last time we went there I wanted to order the shrimp platter and after I ordered it I was informed that it was discontinued. Shouldn’t they take it off the menu if it isn’t offered anymore? There were what looked like 10 people working there, which I feel is a lot of people, but the service was really slow. I understand that they were training a new person, but service still shouldn’t lack.
I really do like the location, because I can walk there with my kids for a treat. I think from now on I’ll drive somewhere.

I can’t really say much about the service of this Dairy Queen because I didn’t pay attention much, however, the quality of the ice cream made has been below subpar and very inconsistent. I went once and had a good blizzard, other times there was not enough flavor where it just tastes like vanilla ice cream, too much flavor, or was mixed so much that the ice cream tastes like whipped cream. Hope they improve.

So excited (for local) to let my kids place in the new kid fun room they had! We stopped and grabbed treats and it went downhill right then! The young manager girl treated us like dirt! Rude, condescending actions telling us the kids can’t go in without a parent, and, that we the parents can’t have food in there! So there was no way to have the kids in it. So as we told the kids to come we see a bunch of kids in there WITH NO PARENTS AROUND? last visit, enjoy 4 less former patrons.

Dairy Queen in Fallon… So much has changed since its days on Main Street when it used to be next door to JCPenney…
Our visit today was for the first time in many many many many years… It was the kids’ choice. By the time you get to the Dairy Queen, your fast food options pretty much diminish if you’re headed south out of Fallon.
We chose drive thru since we were on our way out of Greenwave Land. It was hard to understand the drive thru intercom, as I had to turn off the radio completely and half stick my head out of the window to hear what the lady on the other end was saying. She was cool and patient, though, as I tried to make sense of what my family wanted to order. We decided on a mushroom Swiss burger combo, bacon cheese burger combo with onion rings, Fresh Griller (?) combo, and a 2-​piece chicken strips kids meal combo. Our drinks of choice were a lemonade, root beer, piña colada smoothie, and an Orange Julius. We ended up switching out the lemonade for a Sprite, because the lemonade was that crappy powered stuff and it just tasted nasty. The drive thru lady exchanged the drink with no problem, which I thought was really cool.
We must’ve been super hungry, because we ate absolutely every bite. For fast food, our meals weren’t greasy. Hubby’s onion rings were über crispy and good. Bacon was cooked the whole way through. Fries were perfectly crisp and not over salted. Fry Sauce is all fancy now, in sealed containers.
Complaints??? Drive thru was very slow. I had to turn my car off for a while, we were waiting so long. And we were the only ones in drive thru!!! And adding the Orange Julius to one of the combos upped the price by almost $ 2.00.
For what it’s worth, though, my family was fed well and our drive thru experience was better than what previous reviewers experienced.

Typical Dairy Queen… yummy ice cream…:)

Boy, my review will be different than the previous one. Dairy Queen is not a place we often stop, because now that I’m, um, ‘older’, I see that my much slowed metabolism just can’t handle hundreds and hundreds of calories and carbs at a single sitting. BUT, once a year we stop here as we pass through Fallon on our way back from some adventure seeking RV trip through the Nevada outback.
I always get a Blizzard of some kind. Blood sugar skyrockets for the day! Nevertheless, we stop anyway and are never disappointed. Blizzards are to die for (in my humble opinion anyway).
In my life, I’ve never used a drive-​up window. Never. Especially for ice cream. I figure if you’re gonna eat this stuff, you NEED to walk in, just to burn off a few of the calories. Plus, since everyone ELSE seems to want to use the drive-​up, that leaves us walk-​ins top priority to get OUR stuff. I’ve seen cars in drive-​up lines (everywhere — Mickey D’s, Starbucks, etc.) still in line after I’ve walked in, got my stuff, and walked out. So, no drive-​up windows for ME.
It took no time for the girl at the counter to get our Blizzards, and of course, she demo’d the fact that she could turn them upside down and they «defied gravity». Ha. We like Dairy Queen for that once in a year splurge, and this one fits the bill.
Can’t say anything about their ‘food’ menu, but then, when I think of burgers or such, Dairy Queen just doesn’t pop up on the radar.

This Dairy Queen deserves no stars! I had to leave the drive through w/​out our order after waiting almost 25 minutes in line. They are slow as hell. We were in a rush to get to a wedding, and hadn’t eaten all day and was hoping to stop and get a quick bite. There was 2 cars in front of us, and after waiting 20 mins, the first car was asked to pull to the side to wait for their order. The 2^nd car, ordered a drink and a sundae, which proceeded to take 10 minutes to make. I figured, we been waiting for 25 mins, surely they would have had time to make our food. NOPE! We pull up to the drive thru window and ask if our order is almost ready, the girl says. let me check, disappears for 5 mins and comes back to tell us they are still working on it. We ask how much longer, she disappears again for 5 mins and we didnt give her a chance to return. As we pulled away, the first car that was asked to pull to the side decided to park and go inside to see what was taking so long… they must be cooking on a hot plate or something because it was ridiculous.
