Dairy Queen

Great place to eat ice cream. The ice cream was great and the service was good. The prices are very good. Great place to eat at with the family.

Dairy Queen has terrific soft serve ice cream. The employees need some adult supervision. We recently could not get waited on. There were only two people in front of us in line and about a half dozen people behind us, but it was taking quite a while. There was one employee waiting on customers. Six other employees were hanging around. Two employees were standing behind the counter apparently aware of all the customers waiting but they just stood around chatting with each other about their personal lives and having a nice time while the customers waited in line. One of the girls finally decided to help out, by serving the next person to walk in the door instead of anyone who had been waiting in line. We finally gave up and left.

I find that DQ pairs exceptionally well with Game of Thrones. We currently partake in what we like to call, GoTDQ night (for obvious reasons) and I highly recommend the two together. You’re welcome.

If you just want ice cream, you’re probably okay, but the last few times we’ve been they seriously messed up our food order — missing items and putting completely wrong toppings. With plenty of other great places around, I’d skip this one!

Hmm, sometime you just need a perfect frozen treat, and DQ/​Orange Julius offers just that! For the shop being surrounded by various Ma/​Pa gourmet ice cream stands this place was packed.
Staff is friendly and fairly quick. I love how they have their tips jar posted with a note as to what their tips are going for. Schooling, A car, Trips, Etc. Parking can be a bit wonky considering their nearly always filled up when the weather is just right.
Now, I am just waiting for the re-​release of the Cotton Candy Blizzard which I’ve been pretty much tracking across the country and have yet to encounter.

Excellent soft serve ice cream. Milk shakes are to die for!
Food is also very good! Fries are terrific!

The ice cream rules. Perfect every time.
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EAT ANY HOT FOOD HERE
Also, there are no bathrooms. They have public bathrooms at the 7 – 11.

Cones, sundaes, blizzards and more are made with care and are always served with a smile. Some diary queens (and ice cream places in general) are sloppy and sundaes are messy and ice cream cones are leaning and swollen in all the wrong ways.- Not here, everything seems to come out pretty just like the pictures — even the handdipped cones.
And the food is also made with care — even when they have a line out the door. I’ve never gotten a burger that was smushed or was falling apart. The fries are always piping hot, and there always seem to be more food than I was expecting.
It gets pretty busy, but the line moves quickly. There are picnic tables nearby and the area is kept clean.
This is what you want a Diary Queen to be.

When I think DQ, the only thing I think of is ice cream. I know they serve other items, but I can’t get past the bright pictures with all the ice cream with different toppings. What can I tell ya? I love ice cream! I decided to try a burger last night. Picture this high traffic place in the middle of August. It was seriously bustling. I have to say, they handle the lines pretty quickly. If they didn’t, I image their tip jars asking for college support and help funding a trip to Europe wouldn’t be quite so full. Even the wait for the food was quick. I took my bacon cheeseburger and my strawberry shake and sat at one of the picnic tables. The tables were clean. There were a few napkins or bits of trash on the ground from careless diners, but nothing unexpected after a busy day. I was surprised to find that there were no bathroom facilities. I thought if food was being served, it would be nice to have a place to wash before eating. While the shake was very good, I found the burger to be just ok. I found it lacking in taste. The strongest flavor was the mustard instead of the burger. My advice would be to stick with the ice cream and skip the burgers. Minus one star for so-​so burgers, and minus one for no bathroom. Seriously, families with kids need to have a bathroom facility.

Fast, efficient, courteous and bustling; the Kittery Dairy Queen is a great place for a quick snack or a quality fast food dinner.
They close down in mid-​October and re-​open in March. They do not take credit or debit cards.
