If you want lettuce, tomato, or pickle added to any burger, forget it. They won't do it and they "don't know why"... they would rather refund the money for our meal than just add a little tomato and lettuce. I'd have even been happy to pay extra. But they flat out said no. read more

9/7/24 recently stopped by Dairy Queen in Blanco during a busy time, but it was still a great experience! Despite the crowd, the service was efficient, and I enjoyed a tasty, cool treat. 9/6/24 We recently visited Dairy Queen and enjoyed a nice, cool, and tasty treat. The Banana Split Blizzard and Oreo Blizzard were both fantastic, offering a great sweet treat that hit the spot. The classic Banana Split was also delightful, with fresh ingredients and perfect presentation. The staff at Dairy Queen do an excellent job of keeping the store clean and well-maintained, making for a pleasant and inviting atmosphere. Whether you're in the mood for a quick dessert or a fun outing with family and friends, Dairy Queen is a great choice! read more

Horrible experience from start to finish. The customer service is terrible--zero patience, zero professionalism, and a nasty attitude. A girl named Bree was extremely rude and disrespectful for no reason and acted like customers were a burden. The wait was mad long for no reason, and when I ordered a combo, they didn't even ask what drink I wanted. On top of that, the cheese bites were soggy and nasty, like they'd been sitting out forever. Complete waste of time and money. Definitely not coming back. but the blizzard was good. read more

I see promos on tv all the time, but when I try to order an advertised special, the Johnson City DQ never has it on special! Extremely frustrating! Their hamburgers also leave a lot to be desired! You can get a better burger at one of the local Mexican restaurants! read more

I found this DQ to be very clean and inviting. The cheese bites are a great snack. The interest from the staff to make your visit a pleasant one is welcome. We enjoyed stopping in and getting our sundaes either a snack. Thank you to this DQ! read more

We actually get our burgers/fries/drinks here regularly. I say "actually" because we have a lot of great restaurants here in Blanco. My husband wants Dairy Queen's hamburgers about once a week. I think they must have changed management within the last year or two because we used to have some issues with our burgers and backed off for a time. Now, we no longer have soggy burgers, and our fries are fresh and hot. Not to mention their drink machine is calibrated exactly right. read more

Every time we come here it's busy, and we notice it does take a bit longer to get our order. HOWEVER, I have to give credit to the staff who were definitely working hard! There was only 3 people working the whole place. I give them credit for their hard work and will continue to go and give them patience. read more

It's your average DQ in my opinion. Not too shabby, but not amazing. It had a kind of weird smell coming in and it took 15 mins for us to get our food, but the food itself was your average dairy queen food experience. read more

The food's ok but the lady at the service window was rude as hell. I know it's just a small town fast food joint but come on, a little kindness with a smile instead of a crappy attitude just doesn't cut it. Surely she wasn't hired and actually getting paid to treat customers this way. read more

We stopped in to buy an ice cream. We got it pretty quickly after ordering it. The service was good, the store was clean and mostly quiet and pretty chill which is nice. I'd say tho, that they were a bit lean on the chocolate shell for my cone but it's fine otherwise. read more

Went last Sunday on the way back from San Antonio and the food was hot, fresh and the best I have had from a DQ in a long time

The steak finger baskets were nice and fresh! Everything on the plate was piping hot minus the fries. The wait was about 15 minutes, but not too bad. Staff was friendly and the restaurant was pretty clean. I wouldn't mind returning here for the future. They also have a self ordering station as well if you want to skip the line! read more

Well they have some super nice employees so that's the major reason they get 3 stars!! And they make a mean Diet Coke ‍ But let's talk food, we get tacos on Tuesday for a dollar and the last 2 weeks atleast 1 of 5 tacos had no meat... and the ones that have meat... well very little... see photo read more

Good service and a little slow. The food is delicious and is a family oriented location. I enjoy the dipped cones and a lot of other items in Blanco,TX. Karen B, Blanco,Tx 4 stars! read more

Great customer service. Great food. Clean bathrooms. Everyone was very friendly. Dude burger was good. Chicken strips fresh. Dipped cone delicious. read more

We went for shakes, and the pumpkin pie did not disappoint one bit! With a creamy and delicious texture and pumpkin flavor, and little crumbled bits of "crust." It was exactly what we wanted. And the drive thru gals were very friendly and fun! read more

Stopped here for a quick bite against my better judgment, Looked like the only place open ... ordered the grilled chicken sandwich combo... the food was a huge disappointment! The fries had been sitting around for awhile so I had them cook a new order which I believe they just threw already cooked fries in the oil and heated them up ... saturated with oil and not great . The sandwich was a bigger disappointment.. it was small and tasteless. All this for $9.62 Looks like my last trip to any DQ even if it's the last place in town read more

D - Q That's what I like about Texas! That DQ sign is also known as a "Texas Stop Sign." We came in here for some lunch. Their drive through line was empty, so we rocked right through to the order board. Their speaker was busted, and I couldn't really hear what they had to say about anything without leaning waaay out the car window to hear them. Apparently, DQ wasn't ready for our two meals, so they made them fresh. The drive-thru clerk was enamored with the dogs in my back seat, and even brought out whipped cream in lids for the dogs to have something sweet. They were so nice about the dogs. Overall, the food wasn't too bad. It took about ten minutes to get our orders. I got chicken fingers, which seemed overcooked, heavily breaded, and served with a tub of warm white gravy, two pieces of Texas Toast, and some fries. It wasn't gourmet. There was plenty of parking at this DQ. It's right across from Blanco State Park! read more

9/14/23: Burgers & fries were fantastic! One of the better DQ's I've been to in many years. Well done!

Stopped in to get a Peanut Buster Parfait and they did not disappoint. Despite being understaffed, these ladies got me my food in no time at all. read more

How hard is it to get a blizzard made correctly? I have waited for 6 months to leave this review in hopes the odds would get better. My blizzard is right maybe every 4th time we come here. I even double check before we leave the menu in the drive through - chocolate dipped strawberry blizzard. Sometimes they put Hersey syrup instead. Sometimes I have to tell them what goes in it. This last time, even though I told them at the window they forgot the chocolate all together, they still said they made it correct. If you order an Oreo blizzard, they can make that. If you want just strawberry, they can make that. But if you ask for a chocolate dipped strawberry blizzard, which is on the menu a couple of times of the year, they cannot make it apparently. read more

The customer service was absolutely atrocious, the only good worker is Gibson Arnold he is so good he deserves a raise and promotion he should be the manager or I'm calling corporate. I will not sleep until this is fixed read more

I waited 45 minutes to get two orders of steak fingers gravy and fries and two drinks and then pretty much had thrown at me and my girlfriend. The fries were so salty and the steak fingers were cold like still frozen it's like somebody came in and threw it in the microwave this is kind of the reason why the this chain of restaurants are dying read more

We pulled in after a full day of swimming and were greeted by super friendly employees and great service! We also tried something new they're trying- Sherbert Express- it was delicious!!! A mix of soft serve and tangy sherbet. So refreshing! Will definitely stop in again! read more

We went in on a Sunday around 3. The employees were too busy playing around in the kitchen, making loud animal noises and laughing loud. There were 4 tables of customers. One got a hamburger with no meat; my friends fries were not warm and it wasn't a whole order. Everyone behind us was upset and had some type of complaint. I know all about the issues with covid and not being able to find good employees. These kids were running off business right and left. We will not be back. read more

20 minutes to wait for a cheeseburger when they're not busy is insane. I could've gone home, slaughtered our steer, quartered it, aged the beef, ground it, built a fire, grilled the burger, baked the buns, and made my own cheese in about the same time it took them to cook this so-called fast food burger. read more

On June 6, 2023 at about 7:00, I was driving home, in Liberty Hill, from Six Flags Fiesta. I stopped at the Dairy Queen in Blanco, TX. I ordered my food and pulled forward. The person working at the window was asked to pull aside, then I was asked to pull aside. They helped a person that drove off, then served the first person who pulled aside and continued helping two others. I got out of my car and went in. I said "I've been sitting here for 30 minutes", I wasn't exaggerating. They asked me what I ordered. They then proceeded to start making the food. When I drove away and got down the road my daughter said they had put ketchup on her burger, she had asked for only pickles and mayonnaise, as ketchup makes her ill. (In which they said they can't put mayonnaise on that burger but would give me packets.) I happened to see another Dairy Queen down the road. I went in and asked if the owner there was the same as the one in Blanco, they said yes. I asked if the could make my daughter a different burger and showed them the whole burger. The guy at the counter understood but the lady in the back said that if I had a problem that I needed to drive back to the other Dairy Queen. I told her that im sure the owner would appreciate if that made things right and kept the customer happy. But she refused. read more

The worker did not take our order while we waited in drive through for literally 8 minutes. We pulled to the window and she was VERY RUDE. All we wanted was ice cream and she acted like we were asking for a crazy Starbucks drink. Very rude and unprofessional. "Well I don't want the people behind you having their ice cream melted". She took their order but not ours. Rude lady. read more

While we understand it's a small town and COVID is going on but waiting ten minutes inside with nobody else in line is a bit ridiculous. They need more workers and those that pay attention and hustle. read more

Can an adult please step in and run this place? Kids with DQ uniforms on standing next to the register and texting is absurd. Our order of 4 chicken strips and a dipped cone was placed at 7:36. It has been 15 minutes and we are still waiting. Plenty of kids standing. Not enough doing. I asked where our order was and was promptly greeting with confusion. The girl working the register went back and asked the cook how much longer. "Still waiting on fries." I worked fast food as a kid at a truck stop on a major highway. Fries don't take 15 minutes. Now 17 minutes and half the order is done. Still waiting on a cone. And there you have it. A DQ land speed record of 18 minutes for an order of chicken fingers and a cone. Good luck 281 travelers. I hope you aren't in a hurry! read more

Bad experience. No greeting at the drive thru for 10 minutes, pulled up to the window and the two girls were in no hurry whatsoever. After waiting 5 mins we told them we haven't even ordered. 30 minutes later we got our order, 2 bacon cheeseburgers and 1 hunger buster. We got one bacon cheeeburger and the other two were plain and dry, no bacon or cheese. Really frustrating how you can mess up an order. Customer service is horrible now a days. Never coming back. read more

I am not going back to the dairy Queen in Blanco. Went there tonight had ice cream and asked for a lid. Given the wrong size so was asking for another one and young man was very rude to me read more

We just had perfect French fries, 3 great tacos and refreshing coke. The attendant at the window was cheerful and we are happy

If you're content with mediocre service, than this is the place for you. My husband and I have visited this Dairy Queen several times over the past few years. We've always been pleased with the ice cream and service. We had an unsatisfactory experience while visiting a few months ago. We had to wait in line a very long time and when we finally got our food, my ice cream was partially melted. We decided to give it another try and went there this evening. After waiting in line for at least 20 minutes, we paid for our food (M&M Blizzard and Medium Root Beer Float) were asked to park and our food would be brought to our car. 10 minutes later we got our ice cream. My root beer float tasted terrible. It was obvious it was sitting for a long while. Thankfully, my husband's Blizzard was fine. read more

Eating out in Blanco can be onset by unnerving desperation, and although we all know that Dairy Queens are as home base to small towns as churches are, this one is slow, slow, slow, and slow. High school kids work the place, which I find charming and true to a real portrait of small town America, but 30 minutes for a cheeseburger, take out, with the rest of the patrons staring into outer space, unpleasant. And then being 'placated' by a child manager who thinks he's clever.. is painful as it is claustrophobic. Only in a bind. Plus is, it's usually the place that will be open in Blanco when nothing else is. read more

This place SUCKS they can't get a frigging order right, been here several times over the last year and every time it's missing something, order a 6 piece, get a 4 piece, order no tomato get tomato, ask for large get a small. I live 8 miles away and I'm always disappointed when I get home and open up my order. The only thing that thay do right is turn the Blizzards upside down read more

I almost didn't stop in because of the reviews. The fries were fresh and the burger was great! I dined in at 11:00 and timed how long it took from swiping my card until the order came out to my table, 5 min and 2 sec. Friendly staff. The worker taking orders gladly helped an elderly woman who was having trouble figuring out the coffee dispenser. There may have been changes in management so I'd ignore older reviews and judge for yourself. If you like Dairy Queen this location is a good stop. read more

This place is usually a very good restaurant as far as I've been here. But... this one time I was waiting in line for at least 30 minutes to an hour in the drive-through I might be a bit dramatic but it felt way longer than that. We had nothing to do but wait for an ice cream cone dipped in chocolate. Is that too much to ask for. How's the girl going to get her daily nutrients. I need my ice cream! read more

I once used to absolutely love this DQ when I would stop by Blanco, but soon realized that the management is absolutely horrible. When I was eating in the dinning area I constantly heard foul language being used by the employees, as well as the employees having such rude attitude. This is supposed to be a family restaurant isn't it? Also the bathrooms were not clean whatsoever, they looked like they were just swept and that was it. I've seen better from a gas station... I will no longer be returning to any DQ run from this management or the owner of this Dairy Queen. I have been to many other DQ's with MUCH better service, friendliness, and cleanliness. Very disappointed in the Blanco DQ. read more

We order 2 Hungerbusters with cheese cut the mustard and another Hungerbuster w/o cheese with everything else. The employee read back the order and it was wrong. My wife repeated the order and again she did not get it right. I repeated the order a 3rd time. When got the order the burgers were cold and all 3 were wrong! They were all the same, cheeseburgers with mustard. I don't like mustard and returned it. She walked away and told the manager. The manager was unloading burgers to the cooler. I kept standing there and she never acknowledged I was there. I cleared my voice and she said she'd be there in a minute. She put away one box and started on a second. I told her that could wait and I'd like to get my order in. She refused and continued with her task. She finally walked up and asked for my receipt. I told her I did not get one. I repeated my order and the manager was uncaring. The cook brought the remade burger out. No cheese!!!! Seriously???? I walked back up and the cook slapped a piece of cheese in a tray and slid it across the counter. The burger never did melt that piece of cheese. Who is in charge of training?!? This was the worst DQ I have ever seen!!! Bad food and bad attitudes! We will NEVER go back to this place. read more
