I love this Dairy Queen! Fresh-made waffle cones really make this place stand out. Also, the owner and employees are all extremely friendly. This is an "ice cream only" location. They don't serve food. This free-standing Dairy Queen is in a slightly sketchy looking spot in Sanford. However, I've been many times and never felt unsafe. The landscaping has recently been updated, and there's a lovely spot to sit and eat your ice cream. The employees are always very friendly and seem happy to be there. The ice cream is delicious, and they hand mix in whatever flavors you want. I enjoy getting chocolate ice cream mixed with peanut butter in a fresh made waffle cone. The waffle cones are amazing. They take fresh batter and pour it onto a waffle iron and make super fresh cone for each order. This does make the ice cream take a bit longer than some other places, but its totally worth it. The fresh waffle cone is amazing. There's usually a line, but they move through it pretty quick. There is a "parking lot" of sorts- kind of a line of spaces around the perimeter of the property. However, I've always been able to get a spot without much trouble. Overall, prices are reasonable, the ice cream is delicious, and your supporting a small-business owner. Be sure to stop by!

Been here a few times and just recently i came to get two of there pumpkin pie blizzards,first of i agree service here is slow and the parking is to small for the amount of people that come here also the location looks so old like it could be run down by a hurricane any day. Back to the service, the staff is nice but only two windows to take and give orders and about 5 or 6 people in there like a can of sardines because the building is so small and old. I order two pumpkin pie blizzards. .they barely tasted like pumpkin and they put so much in a cup when u take the lid off it came out and went all over the place including my clothes. The flavor of the pumpkin pie blizzard was not worth getting it and waiting made it not even more worth waiting ,but the worse part is how they are stuffing so much in to this cups that people are getting stick and creating a mess. Probably won't be back for a while, i was very disappointed with my last visit and every time i come service is slow because they can't handle the business they do. My advice...shut this location down and rebuilt a bigger location with a order here window (s) and pick up here windows, also faster service. I will be checking out the Apopka location soon to compare

Great ice cream but very slow service. Geez there was a dozen people in line and only one person working. Besides that the shake I got was very tasty.

Best DQ ever. This is an old school DQ. They make all waffle cones fresh on the spot when you order. They have classics like the peanut buster parfait, cherry dipped cones, and even waffle crisp blizzards. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. Any way they can make you have your perfect order, they will do it with a smile on their face. I can't say enough good things about this place!

Old time scream This DQ has been around for a while. I asked one the young ladies working there exactly how long but she just looked at me and said it's been here forever. I doubt if it's been around quite that long but it's obvious that the building has been around the block a few times and has a few tire tracks across it's back. I have heard that it's the second oldest DQ in all of Florida and just looking at the venerable building that's easy to believe, it is indeed showing it's age. That's fine with me, I like places that have manage to survive for a long time and I think the the rather worn appearance gives this little DQ character. I love the old signs and anachronistic exterior. There's no place to sit inside, just a few crummy tables outside and most of the people get the treats to go or just eat in their cars. All the usual DQ stuff is here, lots of blizzards, peanut buster parfaits and of course dipped cones. I've been here about a half a dozen times and every time I received exactly what I expected. DQ's are consistent if nothing else. Even though the lines can be long at times the staff knows what they are doing and keeps everything moving along. It's fun to watch just one blizzard after another coming out of the small windows while you devour your own treat. Sure it's old, kind of crummy looking, gets crowded and doesn't really have many places to sit. None of that matters. This place still makes some of the coolest summer treats that can be found anywhere. It's been doing it forever and probably will keep doing it until forever finally comes.

This is a unique Dairy Queen and is hands down the best DQ I've ever been to. This place is not "Hot Eats, Cool Treats" but rather it is "Cool Treats, Cool Treats." They are a DQ but have a unique selection of Blizzard Flavors that you won't find anywhere else. I live and die by the Waffle Crisp blizzard which consists of fresh waffle cone, hard shell chocolate, and caramel. They make their waffles cones fresh and to order. You ask for a waffle cone and they make it on the spot FRESH! They don't pull it out of a bucket. Outdoor seating or just eat it in your car. No other DQ compares.

This is Central Florida's 2nd oldest DQ! It's always busy with great service. There could be a hurricane outside and there would still be a line outside this DQ! LOL When you walk up to the order window you get this fabulous waft of fresh waffle cone making. It always smells soooo good in there. Service is quick, fast, friendly and the ice cream is yummy. They even make little sundaes for your pooch. So long as your pooch is not lactose intolerant.
