not sure why all of the harsh reviews. We've always had an amazing experience at this Dairy Queen. Great food, hot fries. Ice cold ice cream. Everything is as expected or better. read more

Very poor service, we sate for a long time, finally went up to see where our order was, they were just standing around and hadn't started our order. Need better management or at least train the manager to manage this location. read more

I did not order a drink, the "burger" was soaking wet when I got it. Sad! No pride in this store. Remember how dangerous Subway hot tuna subs were? Try to eat this "burger" while drive and you will be one sad puppy. Go to burger king instead. They're not close to number one in flavor but their burgers stay together. Burger at this dairy queen!? Bring a straw. read more

Stopped by after work to order dinner for us. Took a long time through the drive-in and there were only 2 of us inline. Ordered 4 chicken strip basket and a 6 strip. Chicken strips were very burnt and dry as if they were either reheats or they forgot them in the fryer. Went back to the DQ to let them know about this, and all I received after this was a bunch of runarounds and no effort to salvage a messed-up order. I've been in foodservice and retail, and I think the problem should have been addressed much better than what I ran across. The dude was very unhelpful and abrupt. read more

Darren is a great employee! Very welcoming. The food was great! I had a burger with buttery buns, the right amount of sauce, and delicious burger patty! Their blizzards were tasty and quick! Went back again! read more

Second time re-ordering our food. Ugh. We're hungry, it's late, and we were charged for everything. When we came back, they replaced the one item. Cold, but at least we got it. read more

We ordered 2 blizzards and we were behind a car and as soon as we get our blizzards there were handed to us melted.

Waited 28 minutes for 1 4-piece steak finger basket in drive thru. 28 minutes. For 4 steak fingers and a handful of fries. Do better?????

Darren is an exceptional employee. He is making sure this location and the rest of the team are going above and beyond. We had a great time!

I don't think I will be back , the last three times I have went something is wrong with my order, today they forgot to put tarter sauce in with the fish but put lots of ketchup. I won't eat the fish without tarter sauce so now it is dog food. I know it is kids mostly working but I can't keep wasting money, I called to let them know and did get an apology but only with a you are welcome to come back and get your tarter sauce, I am 15 miles away, I will pass. If you go check your order before you leave. The food is hot or miss on how it is cooked. read more

Quick service with a smile... we enjoyed the opportunity to sit and eat vs sit and wait. Thank you,,DQ Crew!

Picked up my grilled chicken salad to go only to find the dressing in little plastic tubs sitting on my salad along with the fork and wrapped crackers! Surely that violates good hygiene rules! Please put the condiments, crackers, and utensils in a separate bag and NOT on top of my food! That's just lazy, poor food handling procedures, and disregard of public health just to save a bag. Oh, and please include napkins. THANKS! Wait was long in drive thru bc low staff. This is to be the place to eat ... the nicest staff, cleanest dining room, and best manager. Can hardly recognize the place now. read more

Ordered a banana split blizzard, and they gave me a cup of ice cream. Went inside to complain and they put in a small scoop of pineapple, mixed it and handed it back. Now, they did warn me they were out of strawberries, but what about the chocolate ? Or more than literally three pineapple bits? Or the bananas? How do you hand me a Banana Split Blizzard without, at the very least, bananas ?! read more

We eat here frequently and the food is so great, hot and fresh. The ice team treats are amazing, I always order hot fudge instead of chocolate because of an allergy and I am never disappointed. They go through periods of really low staff so we wait extra time in the drive thru but always hot and fresh. When they are appropriately staffed we get to eat in the dining area. It is decorated quite nicely and just a great place to sit and chill. I know there have been some bad reviews but we love coming here. I guess as we age, time is not an issue anymore. I definitely do not go at peak times because of the rushes but off times are great! Give the workers a kind word and encouragement because they are doing their best! read more

So apparently this is the place to be in Bandera. I didn't see any other fast food places with a drive through in town so maybe that is why. We came here to pick up something to eating before driving home after camping at Garner. The wait was probably twenty minutes and I prefer to think it is because they are making the food fresh rather than being slow. The food was fine. I ordered the nachos and while they put plenty of toppings on it, it was a good thing they gave me a spork because the chips are way too thin so they immediately became soggy. We ate while parked in the lot so it isn't like lots of time passed between when we were given the food and then consumed it. The staff wasn't particularly friendly but it is DQ so the standards probably shouldn't be too high. read more

How do you go to DQ and order a blizzard and ice cream with ur meal and they give you medium cups and when ur food comes there's no ice cream or BLIZZARD like there are known for as well as there customer service is known existence. It's slow food not fast food. As well as they can't even answer there phones and let it ring for 5 minutes. The atmosphere is lit with the gossip and people inside but no staff though. When I got handed my blizzard there was nothing but a empty cup and nothing inside. In then it took them 30 minutes to give me a blizzard. read more

Dairy Queen - Empty blizzard cup nothing in it when they handed me it. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Bandera, Texas

This was the LONGEST wait ever! Don't go here if you are in a hurry. Waited 30 min in line ( only because we were boxed in and couldn't leave) If you don't have staff to open your fast food- don't! Coming from Garner State park and will never stop here again! read more

Knocked out out of the park again! Burger and fries and a mini blizzard to boot! Yum! Super friendly folks!

I've been making almost a ritual or pattern that every Sunday I stop by and order the #1 and Texas size that dish. Be warned, this place is working on skeleton crew and is slow. But what really saves it is the "Drive Thru Girl" she is the one with the braided ponytail. She is very nice and polite and she makes the 10 - 20min wait worth it...knowing that she is there working and keeping this place running during these hard times. The burgers are still good, fries, and blizzards amazing. read more

Overcooked meat I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich it was overcooked and my brother ordered the triple hunger buster the meet was overcooked also bad service read more

I have never waited an extremely long time. But I guess I've been lucky after reading some of these reviews. I went in a few times to get my usual soft serve ice cream cone and so far I have not been disappointed yet. I will cross my fingers. Plus the location on Bandera road is a lot cleaner than the Fredericksburg location. Which isn't horrible but from what I have seen less clean than this one on Bandera. I do agree with the higher prices it seems like they are a lot more expensive than other places to get a soft serve ice cream. For instance QT had the same thing for 50 cents. Although not as creamy it's bigger and cheaper. The pumpkin blizzard is another favorite that although it is quite expensive as well, but considering they are one of the only places I know to but that particular flavor of ice cream. read more

Possibly the worst hamburger I have ever eaten. It had to have been cooked at least 3 times over a 6 hour period. It was 2 hockey pucks . The fries were room temperature and very old as well. Waiting for 20 minutes to be given garbage.Absolutely horrible. I will never eat at another Dairy Queen again. The food they put out is an absolute disgrace!! read more

Granted it took some time to get the food at the drive-thru on the visit. At the same time that was perfectly okay because the food was hot and fresh. Everything tasted great and the service was excellent. Both servers were pleasant and happy to help. Much better all the way around compared to other dq establishments. eyeneedabookietoday@protonmail.com read more

so i never write bad reviews. but i come in this establishment quite often, constantly getting a small blizzard with my boyfriend, and we are hearing all the sudden from other workers not even the manager himself that we are "grabbing each others asses" ?? i don't think that's very professional first of all, and second of all after we got told that , we looked at each other shocked because we couldn't think of one time we touched each other inappropriately or any kinds of PDA that needed to be confronted about. the experience was just extremely awkward and uncomfortable and gives off the impression that we are being monitored, which is obviously NOT ok. let me eat my food with my boyfriend in peace. we can assure you that there's no game of "grab ass" going on, pipe down. thanks. read more

The wait time is absolutely terrible. Not worth it for the food quality. Every time I seldomly venture back to this establishment I continually reach new levels of disappointment. read more

Went through drive through and ordered a banana split blizzard. They took a very long time and when they handed me the cup it was nothing but ice cream. Are you kidding me?! read more

Went to DQ yesterday 4/17/21. Ordered a hunger buster with pepper jack cheese. Bacon, hold the Mustard and Pickles with Mayo, onion rings and a chocolate shake. Got my son a Hunger Buster with Mayo no onions fries and a chocolate shake. They have signs explaining they are short handed due to Covid and the wait might be longer. The wait was not bad at all. The food came out hot. Buns were really fresh. Burgers made perfect and the whole meal was excellent. Staff was very friendly and courteous. Had a minor glitch getting the onion rings but came back around and the employees that took care of it were awesome! I am a disabled vet and they were great. Highly recommend. Keep making great hiring decisions! read more

TERRIBLE!!! I never give bad reviews. But, we got in line at 8pm and didn't leave until 8:45. I could've gotten food at a sit down restaurant way faster. And I only ordered 4 ice creams. Absolutely ridiculous!!! Do not come here! read more

The worst wait ever. They took forever to give me food and I waited about 35 minutes in the DRIVE THRU. That is ridiculous. The food is good but definitely not worth the wait read more

We've come here before after Garner or Lost Maples. Today we stopped to grab some blizzards after hiking Garner and were very disappointed to not see a single employee wearing a mask. We do not want maskless people making our food during a pandemic so we left. Very sad. read more

I'd give it 0 stars if I could... say in the drive thru for 36 minutes for 2 blizzards and 3 cars ahead of us at 9pm on a Sunday night. Why on earth does it take over 10 minutes per car in a drive thru at this time of day? Dairy Queen Management needs to overhaul this location!! read more

Took my grandsons there this evening. Orders 3 chicken strips basket with drink to go. The order was sent to the kitchen at 7:03 pm. 15 min went by with no food, 20 min, 30 min, 40 minutes still no food. At 7:58 they brought the order to my table. Told them it was to go so they took it back boxed it and brought it back at 8:00 pm. 57 minutes to fill a order is simply not acceptable. No apology from manager or anything. Needless to say I will never buy food at this place again. Will tell everyone I know about the very poor serve and recommend they too stay away from this DQ It's obvious the owner doesn't read reviews, or just doesn't care. 2 weeks after giving this review haven't been contacted to apologize or any other comment. This gives DQ a very bad name read more

Drive thru service times are abysmal. Most folks are pleasant on the intercom, which is nice, but the wait is simply ridiculous. It's nothing to wait 20+ minutes for 2 to 3 cars. Not that anything will change, given the extremely limited local options, but hey... read more

Love Dairy Queen, but this location is TERRIBLE. Takes forever to get your food, and on top of that the workers are extremely rude. The interaction I had with the young girl working the register was extremely disheartening and put a damper on my day. They either need to hire different people, or train them to not talk shit about customers while they're standing right there. Can't believe management allows this. Check out other burger places here such as Burger King, or support local businesses such as old forge, rather than spend your money at this crappy location where they'll treat you like dirt. ABSOLUTELY AWFUL. read more

I literally sh*t myself Waiting in the drive thru line. I only got a dip cone, a cup of ice cream and a large root beer and they didn't have it even close to ready when I got to the window, pants full of crap. And of course there's no way out once you get Into the line so there was no possible way to move and quickly go to the bathroom. The young woman ( I'm probably younger than her) at the window was rude. Of course maybe she was just having a bad day? It took me about 40 min to receive what id ordered. So imagine having crap all over you while you sit in a drive Thru for food!? get it together guys. I'd even apply for a job there if that would help :/ read more

This DQ in Bandera has taken a nose dive in the past couple of years. The food there used to be ok, for Bandera. The DQ in nearby Boerne has always been much better. Recently, the food has gotten worse than it already was. Most discouraging of all is the fact that the portions have recently gotten smaller. Burgers are smaller, drinks and shakes are smaller, etc... To add the kiss of death to this DQ, these smaller items have increased in price. To sum it up, this DQ has burgers that are smaller than they used to be, not very tasty and cost more than they used to. If you want a good hamburger in Bandera, try Busbee's BBQ. read more

horrible service, we waited in line for 30+ minutes and they prepared nothing for our meal, and there were about 5-6 people in there so it shoudnt have been a problem. we left without our food and went to burger king read more

Service has plummeted lately at this location. Expect to be in the drive through 20-30 minutes even if there are only 2-3 cars in front of you. What is frustrating is watching people walk in and get their order and walk out and the drive through line doesn't move once. Now to make it worse they are getting the orders wrong. Ordered a steak finger basket and got a chicken finger basket. Ordered a blizzard and the girl forgot to ring it up. So after I finally make it to the window after waiting a 1/2 hour, I had wait for her to make the blizzard she forgot to ring up. Not sure why has happened, but for 20 years the service was great and then in the last 6 months it has dropped off the chart. To bad, but I think they are quickly becoming my last choice for fast food in Bandera. read more

Worst place to get food just left the place with out food was at the drive threw speaker for 15 min and no one answered so I just left and they where open because the car that was in front of me was still at the window where you pay don't waste ya money here waste of time read more

Zero....that's what I would give Bandera DQ. They always get something wrong just as it was today! Then they blame us for ordering wrong and then argue when I correct that! They say they understand what it means when I ask for a dry burger but still put condiments on it and tell me I didn't say that! The burgers are hard, dry pucks. Tomatoes are mushy and lettuce wilted and sometimes dark. Buns are often hard and fries mushy. I have tried ordering inside and drive thru. Neither is great. Inside, 4 different people ordered food which sat in the window for 12 min before I was able to get someone to listen to me. Everyone was making ice cream treats and not handing out the food that was ready and waiting. Before that, it took just as long to get them to take the orders. It used to be a good, stress free and fun place to go. I keep being told they are short staffed! So are a lot of places and these other places do a better job overall. Customer service is horrible! Be prepared to wait! What I do like about DQ is the Dude! So far everything else I have tried has been ok. The ice cream is awesome. read more
