I will add to others' reviews that the "ice cream" at this location tasted of weak grayish ice milk and not at all 'creamy. If you want real ice cream, don't go to DQ. At about 1/2 to 1/3 the milk fat of ice cream, you'll be disappointed at the ice milk taste at this location at least. You're not a too far drive from an In-N-Out or Costco which serve great real soft serve ice cream. read more

New to the neighborhood and Finally a hot day so we decided to walk over and get some soft serve, but to my surprise the ice cream was icy, not creamy at all? My wife even went back in and complained and got another cone, but it wasn't much better! So disappointed, as I never had such bad soft serve from any Dairy Queen I've ever visited. I use to work on soft service ice creme machines and know that's it's not uncommon for places to set the machine to mix in more air to make the product last longer,,, hope this isn't the case here and this gets fixed quick as this place won't last long if it believes it can short change their customers! read more

We pulled up at the drive thru and the voice said in a gruff tone "It's going to be a long wait. There's only 2 of us working today. " We said ok, and waited the 10 minutes. Our order was short and sweet. A chocolate brownie blizzard and a chocolate malt shake. She was pleasant when we got to the pickup windows and gave us our order. No receipt and no turning over the blizzard. We left and headed south. As we started to eat/drink, i realized I didn't get the chocolate brownie blizzard that I ordered and paid for. It was some kind of cookie and peanut butter. Nothing I would eat! My husband said his chocolate malt tasted like there was no malt in it. But we were too far down 395 to turn around and go back. Plus, even if we did, we'd have too long of a wait. We're pretty upset. read more

save yourself the headache and drive the extra 20 minutes to Carson. I used the app to order and never got my food, after calling and getting the run around by corporate they want to tell me that the order has been fulfilled. So not only have I not gotten my chicken tenders I'm also out 60 bucks. Dairy queen as a whole company is a joke! read more

Honestly this place just needs new staff the teenagers obviously don't enjoy working there and the managers don't do anything to fix or change anything. They blast their music so loud and allow the teenagers to work in sweats and slippers. Which is a safety risk and so unprofessional. The place is just a disaster. read more

Finally on the side of the street that makes it easy to go in the drive thru! four cars in front of me... All I wanted was a soft serve cone, for the ride home.. Service slow, so just hand a little patience... read more

See all

Waylon needs to ither put a smile on his face or get a new job! He didn't say hello he didn't say thank you he didn't say nothing. When we ordered our food. He was in a crappy mood, being a customer seeing that kind of attitude irritates the customer, besides that! What's going on with your misty freeze machine? It's always broken, or there's no bananas for a banana split! Come on man this is Dairy Queen. read more

Good shakes. Good Fries nice staff also the ranch is good. I've ordered the Ice Cream Cakes, and they were yummy. Also, they have a few ice cream cakes on the ready if you need one in a pinch. read more

The girl did the stupid flip the cup upside down and flipped the damn thing straight onto the pavement. Then she looks at me with an oops face, and points down at the ground and says "Should I", and then starts making a new one. It was an innocent mistake, but that's not what did it for me. The drive thru window doesn't hide much and it is as dirty as all get out in there. They have this makeshift backporch clothespin holder sticking out for tips. Ever seen a tip jar at a drive through? Neither have I, and I don't plan to again. Thank you, dq for saving me from a life of diabetes. read more

Sadly I have to let them know how terrible the food served at this location on yelp as no one answered the phone when I called. Ordered a peanut butter malt with extra peanut butter, tasted like a vanilla shake. I added peanut butter to it when I got home and there was no malt flavor. Ordered chili dog. The hot dog had been heated in a microwave and was tough as shoe leather. Then bacon cheeseburger with no onions, yes it had onions , burger patties were so dried out, way over cooked and barely a dab of ketchup or mayonnaise. Making this the worst meal I've ever had to pay for in fast food. And to top it off they couldn't cash my $100 for a 19 dollar order, so had to use plastic. read more

I am not sure who assisted us as nobody had nametags, nor did we receive a receipt that could have indicated who took our order. I watched a young man at the register spinning a rag on his fingers, accepting cash, slovenly dressed - then proceed to build a sundae. He wasn't wearing gloves, and he didn't wash his hands before handling food. I watched him grab a brownie out of the fridge with his bare hands and top off my sundae. When we advised him we were from Public Health and asked him if that was safe food handling practices - he said "that's kinda how we do it". Uh, NO - that is NOT how you do it. He even dropped a brownie on the floor and looked around to see if anyone saw him - only after realizing we were watching him did he toss it. He replaced the napkins in the dispenser after someone asked for one - and he did so with his rag-spinning grubby hands. My napkin came pre-soiled. The ice machine was empty, the coke had to be refreshed (I did not order either of these, so I only witnessed that). I was floored. I do have a picture of this young man, but I have opted not to post it - if management wants it please reach out. read more

Took a long time to even take my order. Once order was taken it took almost 7 minutes to get through the drivethru with 2 cars in it. Once we got our food it was wrong even though the drive thru person confirmed it at the speaker box. Not only was the food wrong but also disgusting. The tenders were gelatenous like and clearly very old. The fries were cold and stale, and the ranch that was given to us has chunks in it. Dairy queen is usually pretty good but this is an absolutely terrible and completely inedible waste of money. read more

Dairy Queen Grill & Chill - Fast Food Near Me - Minden, Nevada

Of all the Dairy Queens we've been to this by far is the worst. Apparently the owners won't carry Chocolate ice cream...so i ask why and they said it spoils, LOL...yet the person at the window says many ask for it. So normally if customers are requesting it, a good business person would meet the customers request, but not this location, maybe it's a write off location? It's time to visit a good location, we're done here. read more

Horrible experience. Only the drive-thru was open due to short staff. 30 minute wait in line. I can see people canceling orders and getting money back once they arrive at window. They gave my wife a melted sundae and handed me a vanilla cone since they were out of chocolate....assuming I'd just take the vanilla without questioning anything. We cancelled our order too. The owner of this location should be concerned if this is the normal way they service customers. The girl in the window blamed crazy customers for the long wait in-line. Luckily there's better ice cream places to go to read more

First time coming here, super casual in and out, was just trying to get home. Had to review though because the customer service here was awesome. The guy who helped us had a great personality. Definitely see these guys doing well. TLDR: Customer service was so good I had to leave a review. read more

Worse DQ ever! Microwaved my burger and fries, threw it away. Filthy restaurant, I will never return.

Who can pass up a blizzard in any flavor? This location has done a great job staying staffed and open during the pandemic. The associates are always super nice and seem to enjoy their job! read more

This location no longer provides chocolate soft serve. They haven't for months. Other locations have chocolate soft serve (the Carson City location) so I don't understand why they say their distributor doesn't carry it. And yes, I do make the drive to Carson specifically for chocolate soft serve. read more

If i could give a negative -5 stars i would. Yes i realize this is fast food. However,this is still a business. The teenage girls working there Tonight 9/12/20 are beyond unprofessional. Everything was horrible&when i circled back to tell them curd was burned&also lacking cheese on chili cheese dog they turned off lights&pretended not to see me until i honked. (Mind you the business says on website it closes@10pm&it was 9:40.) when i honked she said are you really gunna honk@me? This meal was disgusting&i literally threw away $23. NEVER AGAIN!!! Owner you should know u lost 20 minutes of business by them closing early&the customers they did serve were given substandard product&horrible service!!! read more

Only because I tried calling before leaving my house & no one would answer at 4:45pm. I tried at least 15 times to the number listed 775-782-5014 & no one ever answered! How much time does it take to answer a phone for customers calling your business. Even if you are busy answer & at least ask can you hold a moment. Nope just never cared enough to answer their phones. read more

J ordered us bacon hamburgers and onion rings and a shake. His drink and rings were great. Unfortunately our hamburgers tasted like they were made ahead of time and soggy. Friendly staff usually, long line lately read more

was a great experience! there is low staff but they were still able to make it a great experience. The eating area was also very clean and spacious. Definitely recommend! read more

Dairy Queen Grill & Chill - the inside of a dairy king restaurant - Fast Food Near Me - Minden, Nevada

Made an order or 7 blizzards and 1 sundae. Out of this order only 3 of them were correct. That is only 37.5% to put in a statistical way. I feel that for a fast food chain that's whole purpose it to make blizzards and ice cream this is unacceptable, not to mention that the employee taking the order was giving me a hard time whilst making the order, there was no one in line or in the drive thru so I assumed that they would be able to take care of these simple orders completely. I was proven wrong. read more

Hubby and I have stopped in here twice in the last week. A majority of the workers here appear to be young. Think, high school or recently graduated. But, they're always nice, polite, and quick to serve us. The food takes a bit to come out, but it seriously tastes so good. Easily one of my favorite fast food burgers to date. We usually get the 1/3 lb meal deal for $6. You get a cheeseburger, fries, drink, and a sundae of your choice. For $1 more, you can upgrade to a small blizzard. Pretty good deal, in my opinion! It's more than enough to fill me up! The burger has a lot of flavor, the fries have always been fresh and tasty, and you can't go wrong with ice cream after. It's clean, and there have been a decent amount of people eating when we've gone in, so that's a good sign. I'm sure we will make the short drive down there again to enjoy some burgers soon! read more

There were only 2 people working. They were on reduced hours. I really appreciate their hustle, dedication & kind attitudes. They did a great job!The food (cheeseburger & fries) was exactly as I ordered it and I mean really, how can you beat a Buster Bar for dessert? There's no DQ where I live, so it's always a treat! read more

I was holding out hope for this place. Today I wanted to get the kids out of the house because the smoke from the fire has kept us in. Drove up to DQ and they closed their dining room due to the air quality. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!!! Anyway, drove across the street and gave my business to the Golden Arches. This isn't the first time they've had their dining room closed for weird reasons. On a previous visit they had cleaned the floor and flipped all of the chairs a solid hour before closing time. Doesn't seem like this establishment wants to be busy. read more

Yesterday, 06/18/2022 I ordered extra strawberry's and Chocolate on my blizzard and when I started to eat my blizzard there was not extra topping at the bottom. Not worth paying .79 cents for chocolate and .89 cents for strawberry's. For 2 medium blizzards with extra strawberry and chocolate it came to 15:00 with tax! Total rip off. Delilah Nystrom read more

Simply going to post about a necessary correction in the current posted hours of this establishment. The hours of operation currently listed are incorrect. This establishment is actually closed for business at 9pm. ;) read more

This has always been a family favorite for us. I grew up going here weekly with my father. My daughter and I have gone a few times and we tried to go tonight to get her a Birthday treat. We drove 15 minutes to get there only to find the store closed. All outside lights were off and a sign on the door read "lobby closed due to short staffing". I understand that, but the drive thru should have remained open at least. We arrived almost 3 hours prior to their closing time. Instead of someone coming to the door we were knocking on (to find out if they would serve us in the drive thru, the 4 teen boys working continued to slide around the store on cardboard boxes, messing around right in front of us. Extremely upset that this worked out this way, daughter was bummed she did not get her Birthday treat. Instead, we went across to McDonalds who at least served ice cream. Do better DQ. read more

I vividly remember my first visit to the DQ. Gayle and I were early in our relationship and I was still in the middle of my previous Divorce. I was talking about some "issue" as we pulled in, when she promptly left the car and slammed the door behind her. After a pair of soft serve cones calmed things down, we had a talk that taught us a few things and stepped our relationship away from the "fire". A recent trip to Dairy Queen involved my Son and Gayle's Nephew and a post-Carson Swim Center excursion. We were borderline hot and crabby, and the sacramental powers of ice cream worked their magic again. read more

Not good is an understatement. If I could give them zero stars ... I would. Burger tasted like warmed up rubber. The bun had the consistency of a ball park hotdog bun that was taken from the game, and then left in a warm car for two days. The fries tasted like salty cardboard strips. And all of that for $7 and some change. Wow. Dairy Queen ... Please, "Do Better". read more

Marcos and David are the best! They helped me get my lunch on time when a promise from Sanchez fell through because they "got busy" 10/10 would recommend read more

Still no chocolate soft serve ice cream. This is at the Minden DQ. I wonder if the DQ in Carson has soft serve ice cream? Next time I'm in Carson I will check and if not I will have no reason to go back to either one. The ice cream was the only thing that was any good. Just the chocolate soft serve. And the employees are very rude and unprofessional and they don't care about there job. read more

Very friendly and professional employees, you can navigate a pick up truck through the drive thru. food was good and hot as always.

Super super slow!! 25 mins in drive through for 2 blizzards!!! This is crap and they aren't even busy!!

The workers are all very young and inexperienced. We tried to order banana split but they didnt have any bananas, then we talked about ordering a warm brownie Sunday and they quickly informed us they were out of brownies too...super disappointing :( read more

Says they are open but I walked in 10:52am wanted to order. They told me not till 11:00am very rude employees.

Every single time I have ever been to DQ their hours say they are open until ten. Every time, I pull in around 9pm and all of the lights are off and it is closed. I have even called to confirm their hours. Not only has this happened at this location, it has happened at 3 locations 3 different times. It's fine if they close at 9. But say that. I just wanted ice cream. read more

When I went there all the employees are nice they helped me really quickly and I would recommend going there to eat a really nice ice cream and their food is amazing for fast food restaurant LMAO. read more

You are probably wondering WTH I am doing in Minden Nevada huh? =P Anyways, my husband and I stopped by here for dinner last night. Minden is a quiet town of less then 3,000 people (mostly retired) but don't expect small town service. Most stores, restaurants, etc are employed with bored teenagers or older folks. Upon ordering at Dairy Queen, we were "helped" (if you can call it that) by a bored teenage kid who would rather be home I am sure. They did not have ham available for one of their sandwiches so we went without it. For some reason it took this kid a while to explain that to us. Food is good...like other Dairy Queen locations but the service here needs help. Too many teenagers who don't care about customers. 3 stars for food 2 stars for service read more
