Dairy Queen Grill Chill - Spring Valley

Honestly I've been going to this place for years. I'm amazed I haven't written a review for it yet, and I actually feel dumb that I haven't. This place is always a good place to eat for a quick bite whether you're just stopping in with friends to eat inside, or even just running in quick to get something to take home with you. I have always enjoyed the food they had, I've never had any issues with parking. Unless it's a busy day at the drive through I've never had any issues with the drive through and never had to wait that long for my food. The normal meal I get from there which is a 6 piece Chicken Strip Basket, with a lemon-lime Misty Slush and a Mint Oreo Blizzard. Every time they've made that order for me it has always been delicious and I've never had complaints. They've never screwed up my order before, I enjoy the friendly atmosphere, and the workers always make me feel welcomed. The only things I've ever had issues with is trying to pull out of the Drive through and parking area on the side of the building facing the gas station and that's usually only when it's busy cause you have to wait for vehicles to come through a lot of the time. Beyond that the only thing I could really consider taking a star for, the atmosphere isn't as nice as it used to feel only because it used to have a back area that had a mostly if not fully complete glass area for eating and viewing the surrounding areas. It used to have tons of natural lighting because of that and it was an enjoyable place to sit and eat with my family so with that area now kind of gone to an extent and not fully glass anymore it loses a bit of that atmosphere it used to have. That's just my personal preference and opinion though and I know there are a lot of people who still like sitting back there and enjoying it. So I know that even though it loses that little bit with me it is still a great place to eat and has amazing atmosphere still.Wheelchair accessibility: This Dairy Queen is very accessible and very wheelchair friendly. They have handicap parking right up at the front of the building, doors are not hard to open, the counter is not too tall, and even getting drinks and finding seating is not an issue for anyone who needs a wheelchair.

The food here is of very good quality is prepared when you order pay. Friendly staff. Clean eating area Women's Restroom was clean in good order.

The chicken tenders across franchisees are not the same unfortunately. Bryon and Plainview DQ have good, meaty tenders. Spring Valley and Stewartville tenders are meant for toddlers, blah.

The chili dog was better than Checkers!!!! Bacon cheeseburger was also great! Nice cheese curds instead of fries!!!!

Our fish was soggy along with the bun and the limp lettuce. Our fries were under cooked.
