Orange Pudding flavor was invented in Freeport over 70 years ago and still a big seller.

I came in Friday at 5:30, and the 3 workers at the counter were extremely rude. As soon as me and…read moremy partner walked in we could tell the energy was off. They kept chuckling amongst themselves everytime we asked a question, and even after I replied to their "How are you?" (which was the male employee who wasn't as rude and obnoxious as the 2 girls). I even felt uncomfortable asking to try an ice cream because of how rude and unwelcoming those employees were. I've come here plenty of times and I've never felt this uncomfortable just getting ice cream! Union Dairy do better, don't hire teens who don't know how to act respectful on the job. I definitely wont be returning.

Freeport's Dairy Queen is a reminder that enthusiasm still counts for something. The staff here…read moredoesn't just take your order -- they seem genuinely happy to be slinging cones and Blizzards, and it shows. The cake freezer is stacked like they're preparing for a dessert‑themed apocalypse, which is honestly delightful. Yes, the interior could use a refresh. It's got that "we've been doing this since the Clinton administration" aesthetic. But the food comes out hot, fresh, and exactly as advertised. The real standout: they make a Georgia Mud Fudge Blizzard the way it used to be made -- fully loaded, unapologetically rich, and without the modern trend of rationing mix‑ins like they're precious metals. It's worth the stop for that alone.

This time I saw their specials this week and saw they had a Brisket Nachos. They had me at hello. We stopped in, picked up 2 orders, ate it on the road. Fantastic taste. Not sure why this wasn't on Yelp so I figured I would add it. They have great tasting food. You can take it to go or eat outside on their picnic tables. Friendly service.

The service and wait time have been getting worse and worse. I was there this week and it was over a 50 min. wait, and it wasn't that busy for 3 or 4 waitresses. The food was Lukewarm and for the prices they charge, was not worth it. I asked for a medium cooked steak, and it came out well inside and for $25, I'll pass. This was all on a Tuesday night. I will be heading into Freeport from now on. I like support local business, but I just can't anymore with Big O's. Sorry Big O's.
