Dairy Queen - Tatum

Went to drive through it took forever my chicken sandwich was so tough I could not even eat and barely cut it up for my dog. The server at the window was nice

Everything is great! Except, don't drink the tap water, it's not DQ's fault but Tatum City water is absolutely terrible.

It seems that this location may be under new management, as I have NEVER in all of my 48 years had a problem at this location until the last couple of months; the polite staff have switched from a culture of yes to a culture of 'NO '! For the past 40 years, after checking the cows, my hands and I hit the DQ drive-thru for malts. It was a tradition started by my grandfather. Around the beginning of deer season this year, a tall, dark, thin man with a clip board in a blue DQ polo began forbidding us from substituting styrofoam for the flimsy Orange Julius cups.You see, the cup holders in my truck are of the spring-claw sort that grabs your beverage with a rubber appendage. More than once, the claw has literally squeezed the malt out of the top of the over-sized hole in the lid of the ridiculously flimsy Orange Julius cup onto the instrument panel. Now my volume control has a short and will turn up or down at the dip of a pothole and three of my pre-set buttons no longer function. To alleviate this problem, I simply asked that my malt be poured into a styrofoam cup which has the triple benefit of being more rigid, cheaper to purchase from the distributor, and it better insulates my malt from the hot Texas heat.During my visit today, I ordered the styrofoam cup an, as expected, told that it can 't be done. The polite young lady at the window offered to get the manager. He was near the parked vehicles to my right. He walked across the lane in front of my truck, wiped off his apron, and entered the drive-thru door. As he appeared in the window, I again offered to pay an additional fee of up to $5.00 to put mine in a styrofoam cup. The polite manager refused. I asked if he was really wanting to make this big of an issue out of a styrofoam cup and he again apologized and said that he is not allowed to put my malt in styrofoam. I informed him that I wanted to buy a glass of water for $5 in a styrofoam cup, then please give me the malt in the flimsy Orange Julius cup so I can switch it myself. He refused, I said this is ridiculous. I asked that my malt be taken off of the ticket, as it hadn 't been made yet. I paid for a large Oreo Blizzard, and a large Vanilla Shake in a flimsy Orange Julius cup and was sure to instruct my foreman not to put it in the cup holders on the dash.Will someone please take the time to explain to me why I can 't buy a styrofoam cup full of water at a reasonable price up to $5.00, then empty the water into the bed of my pick-up and fill the styrofoam cup with my malt that I purchased in the ridiculously flimsy Orange Julius cup?

Tatum Texas has the best DQ in the State of Texas hands down. It's employees have been there for long time and have plenty of experience. My family always enjoys going to eat there. I have 6 family members and service is wonderful. Thanks and may God continue to bless.

Easily one of the best DQs in Texas. The food is always fresh and is prepared with care. The staff is very professional and proud of their product. We eat here regularly and keep coming back because of the routine positive experiences we have.
