We waited over 15 minutes and finally went in the store. The staff was unbelievably untrained and one kid said, "We don't do curbside pick-up." I said we just called from the parking lot & were told the food would be right out. Another excuse was, "We had to make more ice cream." Our hamburgers & fries were sitting on the counter & were cold. The sundae & 2 Blizzards were melted and looked like milk. I asked when they were going to tell us things were running late. "We didn't have your number." I said we were sitting right outside at the "curb" & they knew that. I had to ask for covers for the Blizzards & sundae. Our order was not complete, either. Absolutely shocking "service," It was the worst experience dealing with a staff that could care less. We paid over $30 for inedible food & poor service. Do NOT go to this DQ!

I talked to the table next to me who agreed, in fact like me the lady at that table ate almost two of her tacos before she couldn't handle it any more. I told them I was having the same difficulty. One waiter said the tacos should be more "sweet" not spicy. Our waitress said others had complained today regarding the spiciness too. I stopped eating my tacos, chips and salsa, since I couldn't identify where the spice was coming from. When I asked my waitress, who had admitted others were complaining, about a discount since I couldn't finish my food since the heat kept building in my mouth. She stated I couldn't get a discount since it was Taco Tuesday so the food was already discounted. Not pleased. To add insult to injury the lady at the table next to me made the same complaint and she was offered new food. I don't know if it was because her husband made the complaint on her behalf, and I was a table of one? Very disappointed in service and food. Sadly I drove by Thirsty Moose who has amazing food, but picked Boomtown tonight. Regretting that decision.

Please choose an establishment that doesn't respond to negative reviews in this way! ] My partner and I (locals) brought my in-laws from Texas here and had a bizarre experience. We wanted to show them our favorite Friday fish fry and unfortunately, one of the items (steak kebab) came out overdone. We politely let our waitress know and she brought out the owner, Fitz. Fitz asked MIL to cut the steak for him multiple times and argued that it was perfect since his wife cuts the meat every morning. Frustrated with how MIL was being treated, my partner asked Fitz to get her fish instead and be done with it. After a bit of back and forth and raised voices on both sides, my partner apologized and began explaining his protectiveness by telling him that MIL is currently going through chemotherapy. Instead of de-escalating the situation, Fitz leaned over the table and sneered, "I'm sorry you have cancer, I had cancer too!" at MIL. After that comment, my partner got up and left. Fitz followed him outside and from my view, jumped into a fighting stance and raised his fists at my partner. We walked away after that. Such a disappointing and most importantly, embarassing experience to have with visitors. Just stick to Whistling Bird if you're in town.

The waitress (she is really nice!) said 2 larges would be enough for the 5 of us and she was right - we had almost no leftovers (good thing, we were staying in a motel with no fridge), but it was a stretch (literally) to eat it all. I have to say, for a Northwoods pizza joint the crust was really good. Toppings not half bad either, and they really like to load up your pie with banana peppers. We had a great time. I noticed on the way to the men's room that they have a nice game area for the kids, and it looked well-used. Also liked the free popcorn, though I'm sure it makes lots of people thirsty enough to order another beer. Next year we try the wings!!!
