the front of a dairy queen restaurant

Can You say, soft Serve? I'd been craving one for ever and this place popped up. The 4 Stars is for the soft serve only. The rest of the is a unmaintained dump!

Quintessential small town Dee Kyooew!

Not gonna lie, this is not the best dairy queen we've ever visited. And while I don't frequent the establishment in my day-to-day life, when we are out and about on a road trip, traveling cross country, we tend to eat more ice cream. I'm not sure what psychological function that is, or what subconscious needs it fulfills, but suffice to say when I'm putting 700 miles on the old odometer in a day's driving, I tend to consume more blizzards. After a strange and existential experience at the Prada Marfa art exhibit up the road, we stopped here in town for ice cream, and a quick trip into the supermarket across the street. I found a nice long stretch of curb on the side of the highway that fit my truck and trailer, the wife and kids ran across the street to DQ, and I ran into a little market. After shopping for some camping essentials to be used at Big Bend, I came back out to the truck, loaded the cooler, and realized that my family was still inside the DQ. I walked over, and they were sort of just waiting around, unsure of what exactly was happening behind the counter. Nice to have kids at seemed, but also a little rudderless back there. No matter, we were not in much of a hurry, but it reached a point of comedy after a while, and it seemed we were not the only ones waiting around for our orders. Once we finally got our treats, it was quickly clear that nobody hurt themselves back there scooping anything extra into the cups. On the contrary, it was pretty skimpy. I've never really understood why that is, but maybe it has something to do with the fact that most of the people who order things here are probably just passing through like we were. Which is to say, this might've been a once in a lifetime road trip for our family, but it was definitely a once in a lifetime visit to this DQ. Meaning we're probably not gonna do that again On our next trip to the national park.

Soap dispenser in the bathroom doesn't work. How do employees wash their hands before they touch our food?

Very good food, great service, nice outdoor patio. We came to the Paisano Hotel with a large tour…read moregroup, all of whom descended on Jett's Grill at the same time. The staff were a bit overwhelmed but they stayed calm and friendly. We were a party of two and were seated immediately at an outdoor table next to the fountain. It's a very nice patio that was nicely lit by the hotel lights as it got darker. Our waitress was very friendly and greeted us when she came to our table. My wife ordered the pecan crusted salmon, which she said was very good. It was a large portion of nicely-cooked salmon. I ordered two items from the appetizer menu - bacon wrapped quail and kale beet salad. Both were very large portions, plenty for a meal or maybe even 2 people. There were about 6 pieces of quail and a moderately spicy aioli. It was very good. The kale beet salad was also delicious. We also had a piece of chocolate mousse cake, that was delicious. Nice and chocolatey but not overly sweet or rich. Even though the restaurant was crowded, our service was great. Our waitress was always friendly, checked on us often enough, and took the time to chat briefly without seeming harried. The food came out quickly and was hot and fresh. Our total check was about $75 plus tip. Not inexpensive but worth it for the food, service and ambience.

Jett is a character in the movie Giant, which was filmed in the Marfa area, and the stars stayed at…read morethe Hotel Paisano where the restaurant is located. If you have never heard of the movie, that is a lot of their problem. The hotel and restaurant are resting on their laurels from a movie from the 1950s. If you took a date to see Giant when it first came out, you probably need food you can gum. We were here two years ago and had a good experience so we came back and were sorely disappointed. Service was appallingly slow because there was one waitress (who was great) for the entire restaurant and patio. There was one bartender. Very short-staffed. We had drinks and chips and salsa on the patio before moving inside for dinner. Entrees on the menu were chicken and veggie burgers (no beef?) and chicken was out. The other entrees were the pistachio-crusted steak (basically fancy chicken fried steak) and a ribeye. They were out of the pistachio-crusted steak. So, it was a veggie burger or a ribeye. No chicken dishes, no fish, no pasta. A frozen veggie burger or a $45 ribeye. We started with a a charcuterie board which was tasty but not very generous. The ribeyes were served on mashed potatoes and very good, but there was no vegetable, no bread - just steak and potatoes. I don't mind the price of the steak but part of that price is service and if there is one server for an entire restaurant and the patio, the service is not going to be that good, and it wasn't. Drinks were not refilled, dessert wasn't offered (they might have been out!), so it was eat and run. So, staffing issues, inventory management issues and a restaurant that had a number of customers to serve so they should do better. Much better.

Short - we will go back. Pleasant atmosphere, nice waitstaff, good food & cold beer. Hallelujah…read more Long - stopped in on a random Wednesday - - they were packed! It's always a good sign when the parking lot is full in the middle of the week. Got a seat inside and waited. Then waited some more. The hostess seated a 14-top and we decided that we would leave if their orders went in first. BUT finally - a waitress. Friendly, though obviously harried by the unexpected mid-week bonanza. Drinks & food order in!! Margarita for me, Dos Equis for him, chili con queso, spicy chicken sandwich as shared plates. $22 marg was ABSOLUTELY worth it. Queso was SO good, with hefty chips made just right. Spice in the chicken - yes please. Did we wait, yes. Did we mind, NO. BEST PART - the people watching was PRIME. We could've passed another round & been entertained until closing but folks were waiting for tables and i was just buzzed enough on the ONE marg. Looking forward to tomorrow when we try a burger & cheesecake.

The Water Stop? More like a quick stop for water -- because that's about all we stayed for. As one…read moreof only a handful of larger restaurants in Marfa, we expected a much more welcoming experience, especially considering the prices geared toward tourists. Unfortunately, this establishment did not feel family friendly or kid friendly despite presenting itself that way. After waiting around 10 minutes just for someone in our party to grab menus, we were eventually served water and later had our orders taken. However, the overall attitude and repeated glares from the waitress/bartender, Gary Jean, made the experience uncomfortable and unwelcoming. Good service goes a long way, and basic kindness shouldn't feel like too much to ask. It became clear that receiving decent service was going to be more effort than it should have been, so we decided to leave before our food even arrived. To management: supporting your staff better may help improve the customer experience overall. A little hospitality can make a big difference.
