Dairy Queen of Wilton Manors

Classic Mid Century Experience,
including stand up window service and charming tiled outdoor tables and benches.
This Dairy Queen is a neighborhood icon
Not only do the delicious ice cream creations bring me right back to my childhood, but the service staff and owner are wonderful .They often raise funds for local causes and are very involved and generous to the community .
This is definitely an authentic experience !
And the loyalty of the community which it serves is obvious by the queues of patrons waiting in anticipation of their ice cream dream.

One of the Best DQs around! Reesecup and oreo blizzard mix, with extra reeses… They know how to keep their customers happy! :)

Omg don’t believe those people that left bad reviews, personally I think this place had a nice location, to the guy that was working April 30^th 2015 at the night shift VERY GOOD JOB servicing the customers, that was a one man team. Overall had a great experienced. :-)

Had. 2. Chilli. Cheese dogs
Hot vdogs werre to salty. Or. Sodium infused
Chilli. Shoulda have. Been. More. Fresh
Cheese. Shoulf. Have been a. Liquid cheddar
Instead. Of loose crumbeled. Type
Another. Waste. Of. Time and money

DQ is DQ, I don’t need to write about my favorite frozen treat (black and white soft serve in a waffle cone, by the way…) The service here is a notch above most chains. I must commend the young woman who works Monday nights. They give free pup cones on Mondays (so sweet! They love it!) and she is always so nice! I wish I knew her name so that I could thank her specifically for her great service every other week!

Lol they don’t have chocolate ice cream on the weekends. Place is super run down. I think I should have kept looking for ice cream.

Is it just me or does Dairy Queen no longer put toppings in their Blizzards. The past two times I’ve been to two separate Dairy Queens, there has been no damn butterfingers in my Blizzard. What the heck is wrong with Dairy Queen. Have they gotten so cheap that they don’t put any toppings in without paying extra?

This dairy queen is awful, they can’t even make a blizzard correctly. Dont spend any money here and go to a REAL DQ.

This Dairy Queen doesn’t offer real chocolate ice cream on the weekends. They just blend chocolate syrup w vanilla ice cream.
Have you ever heard of a more ridiculous thing?
You’re a Dairy Queen. Carry chocolate ice cream.
Fail.

When you have to give in and indulge I go here. Friendly owners and something for everyone.

They are soooo funny at this location! I love Dairy Queen but I come here when I need to laugh!

At first blush this place, a simple Dairy Queen or a «DQ» as some may call it, looks kind of cutesy, sort of like a little neighborhood left over place, untouched, from the 60’s, which it probably is. I’ve gone by this place a number of times and have seen long lines in the early evening, mostly with patrons who appear to be grabbing a snack or a cone while out walking their dog or in most cases, dogs, being in the plural.
There is no inside seating, just a few round concrete tables and uncomfortable benches, often with a gooey mess left on them from a prior patron but the worst part no umbrella or patio like set up. Often times no place to sit but under the scorching sun or in a drizzling rain.
This particular DQ is what Dairy Queen refers to as a «Limited Brazier» in that it additionally offers hot dogs and barbecue sandwiches, but not hamburgers.
Having had one of their frozen custards in the form of a Chocolate Sunday I’d say they are OK. Indeed, they must be since people have been enjoying them since 1938, which is the year in DQ first started selling them, but their hot dogs, totally simple and ultrabasic, taste more like they are for the dogs. Indeed I’ve seen a number of people only purchasing them for that purpose and as far as barbecue goes, one can do a lot better elsewhere.
Because of the horrid seating, which is like sitting in the middle of a parking lot with nothing over your head and all of the advertising pasted on the window which prohibits you from any view as to what is going on inside, Though I’m thinking One Star, I’ll go more of stretch than I should and give them Two Stars even though such does seem to be cutting them an awful lot more slack than they deserve.

I love soft serve ice cream. I grew up next to a Dairy Queen in the mid-​west. Did I mention that I love soft serve? DQ’s quality control is terrible, so one time everything’s great, and then the next, the ice cream is foamy or melted. If you wan the best tasting soft serve in FTL, try newly opened Yogurt Ur Way on Las Olas. It’s one of the new self service places. It’s expensive, but fun and delicious. If you want the best deals on soft serve, try IKEA or Costco, or yes, McDonalds, which is half the price of DQ.

Great Local charm from this Wilton Manors location. This is the original building built in the 50’s and you still have to walk up and stand in line.
Concrete tables are available if you don’t want to eat in your car. Yeah they can be sticky from it’s previous visitor, so just a heads up on that.
The ice cream is what you would expect from any other DQ, but we have noticed that when you buy any of the pre-​made treats (Buster Bars, etc) the have a freezer burnt taste, so stick to the fresh made cones, sundaes and Bizzards.

Ah yes, THIS is what a Dairy Queen is supposed to be like. Yes, this is an old stand with only exterior seating. Yes, it can get a little dirty, but it is not old dirt or grime. It is what is left from the person that ate there 5 minutes before you and there is never a lot of it. The people behind the counter are nice and very patient. Each time I have been to this location there has been a line of people at least 5 customers deep.
One of the better things about this being an open air Dairy Queen with its own parking lot is that I can bring my little pup along for the ride. I am not the only one that enjoys this fact as I have seen many other renditions of Mans’-Best-Friend eating along with their people. Mine makes a googly eye, but he knows he is not allowed. I do enjoy the ample portions of Vanilla soft serve and the good hot fudge that I get.
I shall return again.
