The Cold Spring DQ is my "local" DQ - being the one that is closest to me and the one I frequent…read moremost often because of that. Unfortunately I wish that weren't the case. I love DQ, it's a top 5 fast food restaurant for me. But this particular DQ rarely gets it right. It's always something. I'll start off by saying that the weekday experience is typically much better than nights or weekends. It can be slow at times, but otherwise good. The biggest issue with this DQ is that their hours switch at least 5-6 times a year it seems. Sometimes they are open until 8, 9, 10. Sometimes they just close early it seems. As of 1/10/26 - the big sign outside says "Open year round until 10". That's not true. They close everyday at 8pm now. I tried going last night at 8:10 based on this sign to pull up to a closed for the night DQ. Frustrating, frustrating, frustrating. There are a few other issues that commonly occur here. One of the most frequent is their intercom/drive thru system. It has to be 20 years old it seems. It just broadcasts into the building and not through a headset, so communication back and forth can be quite the struggle. Service is typically decent, but it's not something to write home about. Most people are friendly. The food is usually accurate, but I would say temps fluctuate quite a bit. However, the picture below shows one such instance it wasn't. I ordered a deluxe cheeseburger to find it to be a bun and two patty's. Nothing else. I had some ketchup packets in my car and made it work, but I didn't have time to wait another 15 minutes in the line for them to fix it. I also wish that you could do drive thru pick up for online orders. The only option is to go inside. I love DQ, and will still go here, but I wish it reflected what other DQ experiences are typically like. This location has lots of potential, and it would tremendously benefit from a major modern retrofit.

Got to the counter to order and it's just 4 employees standing there talking to each other and one of them eating a popsicle. Finally after 2 minutes of standing there I had to ask if I could order and they all gave me and the person I was with a blank look like I was bothering them, not to mention it looked like the place hasn't been cleaned in awhile (spoons and a couple receipts on the counter, flies all over the place and dirty floor) never again.

I'm a sucker for A&W, an feel incredibly blessed to have one near me. Have had my fair share of…read moremeals from this particular location and it's always been enjoyable. We often use the mobile app to order when we get it, and we have never had an issue with order accuracy. That's a big kudos to the staff for being always getting it right the first time. The staff have never been anything but friendly, and they do take care of the inside as well. It's always been clean and tidy anytime I've been inside. A&W isn't the cheapest fast food option, but it also feels like a step above traditional fast food and the portions are typically reflective of the price. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that it can get backed up at times. It's certainly not the quickest place I've ever been. So just keep that in mind if you're planning on the drive thru. Otherwise everything else is a positive!
