I was very displeased when I approached my Dairy Queen in Ely, MN. As I approached on the day of 12/11/23 @8:45 pm, I pulled up in my black Ford Focus. Unfortunately, to my surprise they were closed EARLY!!! So I couldn't get blizzards for the four people in my vehicle, very disappointing. On their website they stated they close @9:00 pm drive-through.

I recently visited Dairy Queen Grill & Chill and I must say, it was alright. The burgers were juicy and flavorful, and the onion rings were crispy and delicious. But the real star of the show was the Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard with bananas and Carmel, it was heavenly! The service was fast and friendly too. Highly recommend!

The workers were disorganized and some seemed like they didn't know what they were doing. Served blizzards and did not tip upside down. Should have gotten free ones but didn't want to deal with them

This place has the potential to be a great dairy Queen, unfortunately, it's staff doesn't agree. They regularly provide food that is cold or lukewarm and do not adhere to the standards of the chain. Should you have the audacity to call them on this, they will rudely get aggressive and in your face. Your money is better spent driving an hour away to the dairy Queen in Virginia then spending so much as a penny at this location. I hate to say this, because the previous owner loved this location and did his best to have a standard of quality. Sadly, it appears that after his passing, they are no longer following this mindset.

I ordered a chicken strip basket with gravy and it had the consistency of water. Food was good, but stuff wasn’t stocked for to go people like ketchup containers with lids. Put my to go ice cream in a cup with no lid which is also odd.

This is a good fast food place even such for Ely. This place has some really good Chicken strips and other stuff like burgers and desserts. They have Cake and the price is moderate. They are very fast of cooking food which is nice since if you’re taking a takeout order. Would recommend people to eat here.

Jessi did such a wonderful and beautiful job on my stepdaughters birthday cake. The ice cream cake tasted yummy and better than we expected for the price. Thank you so much!
