Dairy Queen

These homies are as cool as their icecream. We went through the drive-​through and not only were the employees patient with us, but once they had our order, they were very fast and made every order perfect to our standards.
My sister got a strawberry shortcake shake, and it was quite fabulous. Every bite was packed with flavor, I’m sure they put more of the stuff in it than icecream. The cup was overflowing, but wasn’t dripping, and I appreciated them wiping down the cup for us (sometimes you get a sticky or dirty cup in other places).
I bought a peanut buster parfait and HOLY COW. It is so freakin’ good. They make sure to layer the icecream with a nice helping of hot fudge and Spanish peanuts. So every bite has the perfect mix.
Again, the service was great. I can tell that the employees take pride in a job well done.
TIPS & TRICKS:
* As good as the peanut buster parfait is, it can be slightly overwhelming. Ask for just a hot fudge sundae topped with Spanish peanuts, and you’ve basically got yourself a tiny, cute version of the parfait.
* Look for them tipping over your shake if you are inside, they prove that their shakes are so thick it won’t fall out of the cup. It’s kind of their signature thang, and it’s kinda fun to secretly hope your icecream will plop on the ground – even though it never does.

My friend used to work here when we were in high school, the place could be cleaner but the service is fast and they are awesome.
I like to get the strawberry shortcake wish is so perfectly sized and delicious. The blizzards are also good, lots of cookies in my oreo blizzard. I also love the brownie earthquake. My little sister wanted a mini version of this and they put it in a sundae cup for her, totally awesome. Love this place.

The shopping center may be a little questionable, but there is nothing to question about their Ice Cream skills here.
More than any other Dairy Queen I’ve seen in Phoenix, you leave here with something that looks like it could have been in a picture. And if it doesn’t look like the picture, it’s because they made the cone too big, or gave you extra ice cream in your frosty. I’m telling you — it has all been really amazing. They even handled a more detailed special order super — every time we’ve gotten it. The interesting thing is, the last time I had anything close to that there was a much older manager who’d been doing it for years. Everyone in the place seems pretty young — but they seem to have a great sense of pride in doing the job. I’ve actually heard workers say, when something didn’t come out well — but before it had ever been handed to a customer, «You know what, I can’t serve this to you like this, hold on just a moment and I’ll make you a better one». Where else are you going to get service like that?
