Dairy Queen, Okeechobee, FL

After visiting Arnolds Wildlife Center, we were hot and sweaty and decided we needed some ice cream. Eddie knew of a Dairy Queen on 1212 S Parrott Ave, Okeechobee, FL 34974 Phone:(863) 763-6675
However our coupon did not list the Okeechobee location. We walked in and showed them our coupon this time asking first would you by any chance honor this? What a world of difference, "of course, no problem" the cashier said cheerfully. The manager who was nearby gave us a warm and welcoming smile. He said we are a Dairy Queen no problem.
We were happy to have our wonderful ice cream cones and cool down in the cool and clean evironment of this store.
I decided to go up and get a spoon for my cone and one customer laughingly joked "hey no refills" I laughed. As I got up the counter I said "refill?" the girl looked surprised and then I laughed and told her what the man had just said. We both had a giggle.
What an enjoyable store to have visited, especially after our not so enjoyable visit at Burger King earlier.
As we were leaving, Eddie who served in the Navy and wears his USS Hancock CV19 hat was thanked for his service and started chatting with another fella who had retired from the Navy. All in all it was an enjoyable interlude in our day out.
The food looked wonderful and next time we will use our other coupon and enjoy a meal at a very welcoming and friendly Dairy Queen.
