DQ Grill & Chill Odem Reviews
Good food, clean restaurant and friendly people. Owner/manager is awesome
I loved this place the young lady at the front door politely asked if she could take our temperature and then she sprayed sanitizer on us. All with a smile. I the establishment was clean. Tables spaced apart. Service and food was awesome. Everything was sanitized and a lady was cleaning tables as we left.God bless the staff at that store.
The service was excellent. The lady working the drive-thru was very sweet and very professional. And the food was so yummy! Nice and hot right out of the fryer and right off the grill! Would recommend everyone to go eat there. You won't be sorry!
Loved this location it was surprisingly big than any other DQ. They had a common dining area and also had a separate meeting area you could go and eat with a large group. And a more intimate area so if you are on a date! I enjoyed looking around the place was it adorable. I enjoyed looking around the place The staff were very nice and served us happily!
HUGE S/O to Cesar Lopez (Crew Leader), Melanie, Samarra and Sandra for their awesome job with my services today. Extremely courteous, cheerful, FRIENDLY and a great bunch of workers to say the least ! I look forward to return for great service for 2024 ! Keep up the GOOD WORK guys 💯
Went through the drive-thru. Grabbed an ice cream for me and mom. Her small was a large. And my large dipped cone was huge. Compared to the dairy Queen in sinton. Loved it
Great service! Food was hot and delicious!
Great food. Large drive in order and they actually checked the order with us and found some things wrong and was missing something before they brought it out. Great service
For a small town DQ, this was a happy accident! We were supposed to eat in Corpus at an oyster bar and then ended up on the road home. Amazing service. Delicious ice-cream. A surprisingly large variety on the menu. Well done!
Employees there are awesome, very welcoming, and helpful. The burger and fries were delicious. The place was really clean.
We were returning from a trip to Nuevo Progresso Mexico for dental work & needed to eat saw ya'll! I'm really happy we did for a few reasons... The staff was kind, also very helpful, and professional. The restaurant was clean and the bathrooms were nice too... The food was so good as we had the fish with perfect toast, gravy and french fries. Delicious Dairy Queen... JAR 💟☮🇺🇸
Oden DQ is one of the best! Almost as good as the Beeville DQ. Food variety is great! Better far than most DQ restaurants.
Good vibes and good meal. Burger veggies were fresh and the patty warm. The fries were amazing Will definitely stop by when passing thru again
As a local resident, I can’t speak for those passing through Odem, but I sure can speak for myself. It’s nice getting to eat there. During busy days the food can take a little longer than you’d probably like, but the servers are only human. The food is really good, and the ice cream is even better. It’s a frequent stop for residents, and if you’re in the area it’s worth getting.
My first time here! The breakfast was delicious and patience was needed as they were very very busy on a Sunday.
Clean place and several rooms to sit in, quiet and nice.

Good food all the time never fails!
It’s the same old Dairy Queen we’ve had in this town since as long as I can remember. The atmosphere is nostalgic, the service is usually good, and the food isn’t anything to sneeze at. A good fast food place for locals. Dine in is advised as Drive Thru can take a while.
Nothing like a dairy queen in a small little town. Workers were friendly and fast, I had the onion rings and probably some of the best onion rings I've had in years. Order them because you get them fresh and hot and they are extra crispy. Just so happens I am going back by there today and I guarantee you will see me there. Outstanding job Dairy Queen. 👍🏻😁😉
I eat here every time I return home to Sinton. Fresh food with friendly service every time. Love the Dude and Chili Cheese Fries. Ending with a Blizzard 🥶 Thank You.
Fun place to eat and enjoy my lunch hour
Clean. Fast. Good food. Good staff. 😋
The food was hot and ready. I had an amazing server named Emily with the way she helped me pick out my DQ order since it was my first time ever being there. Would love to come back and have Her be my server all the time 10/10
Chefs and cashiers were friendly. Very calm vibe for dinner. Thanks for swapping the spicy. 10/10 for DQ.

Stopped at this one because they serve breakfast! Portion sizes are great! Salsa bar! Breakfast tacos are large! Would like them to add sausage to gravy for biscuits. Servers are fast. Restaurant lay-out is really nice & features separate seating areas.
Staff wasn't polite, but wasn't rude. Wait time was almost double the time then a usually fast food place, but food was correct and nice and hot. I can recommend this place as long as you don't go through the drive through because if your in a hurry it may be inconvenient.
Amazing...have you every been somewhere and felt completely welcomed? Even though she was wearing a mask, I could still sense the smile and warmth. If you're lucky, Alexis will be working and the team working is just as good. Friendly service, clean environment, good food...everything you could ask for.
It was not bad until I got home found that I didn't have my 🍔hamburger😣😒 I called and yes they forgot to put my 🍔 in my bag. They told me they would make my burger again if I wanted them too. 😨 Uh yes! So told them it would be a little bit cause I have to drive from St.Paul, 😤 which is 12.5 miles one way! So I go back over there and at first the girl at the window didn't have a clue what I was talking about. I seriously was about to lose my💩! Another lady said we are making it. So I sat and waited for my Burger. I recieved my burger the way I ordered. So I got to eat my burger with no frys because by time I got my burger my🍟where COLD! I could've asked for 🍟 but knew I would probably lose it🙏😬! I was not looking for free food, just want to get what I pay for when I pay for it. Yes I understand mistakes happen, but when it does happen most try to make it right. A small fresh 🍟to go with my fresh burger🍔 would have been a nice gesture, since I drove 🚗a extra 25 miles round trip to get my burger they for got in the first place! (😤😵😨RANT OVER!😫😒😪)
Was very fast the wait for the food
It was good, I got a Blizzard, and yes they turned it upside down for me. Was very good, My wife got a Nutter Butter shake and it was also very tasty. Price was fair, service was good, speed was also good. Will return next time I pass thru. Four out of five stars from me. Customer service was great.
07-11-2025 - About 3:30 pm, went to drive through lane 2. Ordered 2 ice cream cones. There was only 1 vehicle in front of us. Others behind us ordered ice-cream as we saw them drive by us, leaving with there ice cream, however we must have been invisible. After about 7 minutes, our 2 ice cream cones were delivered. Delivered without any napkins. But, all in all, maybe that was just an off day or a bad day for them, as generally their service is good. Going forward I wish they would provide service in order of the line and maybe brought some napkins. That could have made things better. Hope it gets better for all.
Very convenient for a quick stop to pick up a snack or something sweet.

The experience I had was pretty pleasant. The ordering process took a little time to get taken care of but the drive through was backed up so it's understandable. Then the delivery of the food was a slight issue we got the wrong order first but was quickly taken care of as well. The only truly unsettling thing was most of the tables I checked were covered in sticky ice cream. I took a picture that shows the least dirty table of 6 we looked at.
Average, but wait time for a to-go order when you walk inside was surprisingly faster than other DQs, & definitely faster than if we had gone through the drive-thru. Food was warm, but still ok.
Ordered my food at 9:17 pm tonight and got it at 9:38 pm with no one in front of me in the drive thru. Cashier was super nice, food was hot but 20 minutes is a little too long for 4 piece tender meal. By the time I got my food there was just two car behind me waiting for food. Maybe a staffing issue??

Friendly staff, prompt service, but they used canned cheese on my super nachos! Uck! The chicken in the salad was very dry, as well. We drove from an adjacent town, which has a DQ, for better quality food. We won't be coming going back.
All 4 kids meals and steak finger meals FRIES TASTED AND LOOKED OLD. Looks like they been sitting out all day and dipped them back in grease to reheat them. Look how BROWN they are!!!

I wonder when they are going to get it together!? It should not take 20 minutes in the drive thru to get a call-in order that was called in 30 minutes BEFORE arriving to the speaker. Absolutely ridiculous. Employee drinking cups all over the counters in plain sight employees not using the scoop for ice - the “manager” made the drinks you would think as a manager they would know better…smh, touching their face and not washing hands afterwards employees wearing false nails without wearing gloves just to name a few. It’s a shame that such a wonderful manager (Lucy who was not there btw) has to deal with such an incompetent manager and crew. If there was a NO STAR rating that’s what they would have gotten. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 And to top it off they flattened my daughters chili dog and laughed about it. I highly recommend people to drive the 7 extra miles down the road to the DQ in Sinton it’s better service and better quality of food.
Today August 3rd I ordered a burger to take home at the Odem, Tx. Dairy Queen. I got home ready to eat and there was a long hair in my Burger. May God forgive the carelessness. Juanita Tx
Food was cold. Assistant manager said she had to throw away our food to refund us even though we were on ba 20 hour trip. She said there was no other solution. Horrible assistant manager, the staff was willing to help. Get some new leadership
Stopped by at lunchtime on Saturday 10/14/17... very disappointed! We were passing through and my husband wanted a chicken basket. He waited in a line of about 20 people. No one was being helped! Even when he asked (very loudly) if anyone worked there...no workers even looked. We left & will never stop there again!
It’s by far the slowest and unorganized FAST food restaurant my family and I have ever been to. We called ahead and even ordered ONE SINGLE ITEM, they proceed to ask if we can pull ahead.. for one item?! 30 minutes later, we find out they gave our order to someone else! Then on top of that they refused to compensate us for there mess up!
I was traveling so I stopped at the Odem location, I was on the road already when I saw the nasty burger. I was really disappointed because it was too far out to turn around. Then I tried to call but no answer after several attempts. Here is the foto, cold,crushed, burned burger. Please check your food before you leave.
All food was great except ranch sauce for chicken. The sauce was sour. Unfortunately we didn't open it until we were back on the road
Ordered a heath blizzard and the girl at the front made it with chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla and it was a HUGE disappointment!!!
Coney dog chili looked burned with not enough yes and hotdogs looked old
Although the ladies were very nice and polite, the burger was just slapped together with only 3 small pickle slices and a pinch of onions. I also had to go back and get my icecream sandwich they failed to give me the first time that I had already paid for. This was not a good experience but most time they do well, I guess Friday October 6th at 8:30 pm is not a good time to order from here.

I ordered a medium banana split blizzard with double pecans. The blizzard was runny and the toppings were only half way to the bottom. The bottom half only had plain ice cream. The young lady offered to remake it because it was so runny, but I was in a hurry. And then not having it blended well made me upset.
Ordered at the counter at 8:09 pm according to receipt for 2 small blizzards. We sat down to wait and checked twice after 10 minutes at the counter if order was ready since we weren't handed a number to take to the table. 8:25 pm checked again for the 3rd time and they didn't start on our order until then. Finally 8:30 it took 20 minutes for 2 small blizzards. SMH
Went thru drive thru around 930pm order double meat with bacon and a bacon burger both texas size was told they dont do 44oz of the drink nomore at this location,also no bacon in my double went back around and got it in a little bag not on my burger smh always something with this Dairy Queen
