The food was a disappointment as was the service. Over 45 minutes to get our To-Go order of “Alaskan Pollock” ( plain frozen locally bought fish fillets), a fried instead of grilled chicken nugget salad ( with 4 tiny pieces of over-fried nuggets) and equally over-fried 6 pc chicken fingers. We came recently on a week night, and since it was already late, we did not return to the eatery. Next day, I did return to air my disappointment. No one wanted to listen, as the manager was much too busy to talk to me.Please save yourself a trip to Port L DQ. Try Whataburger or Burger King instead for greasy fast food. This is definitely not “what I Love about Texas.”

I ordered a hungerbuster with cheese and toasted buns on both sides and fresh 🍟and this is what i got. A burnt buger w/no cheese..i will not order like that again..I also ordered tacos and got burnt taco shells and fries..but i called and spoke with the manager and she remade it for me to my order.

This is another heavily nostalgic location for me. Yes, my order has been messed up here, and yes, it's a little slower than the other Port Lavaca DQ location. To clarify, that doesn't make me mad. If my order is messed up, I politely take it back, show them my receipt, and they fix it. Honestly, I'm a bit concerned looking at all of these reviews of "bad food" and messed up orders. I'm wondering if the people leaving these reviews even asked to have their order corrected, or if they just sat down and took a picture of the food for the sake of a one-star review. If your order is messed up, ask them to fix it. It's not that hard. I've never had inedible food here. It's always hot and it's always good.

This is certainly a slower DQ than the norm, and I knew that going in. But man. Last night. 40 minutes for a 4 piece Steak finger basket. After doing the drive through I'm sitting in the parking lot with the other guys waiting for their order. One by one they go inside to ask for their order ( I assume they'd been waiting a while). I finally went in too, waited a while at the counter... and they messed up my order. Yes they fixed it when I asked, but I'm just standing around longer.On top of this, they weren't even very busy. There were no more than three tables occupied and a handful of cars moving through Drive Thru.There was no apology on the long wait time. Not that one's particularly necessary, just makes it harder to empathize with them.Regardless If I need a DQ fix in the future I'll drive the couple extra miles to the other location from now on.-----------------update 8/16It's been a week. I went to the other DQ in town and ordered the exact same thing. They had the sameish number of customers. Went through the drive through. From ordering until I got my food was right at 9 minutes. And it was hot :)

I wish I could give a lower rating. I went around 9:00 p.m. and waited at the speaker for at least 5 minutes. No one answered despite being able to see people standing inside. Another vehicle pulled up behind me so I went ahead and pulled up to the window itself to get someone's attention.Finally, a guy opens the window but instead of greeting me says, "We don't have any ice cream. I mean we have food only right now."I went ahead and went to the Austin Street location and the ladies there were extremely helpful. Much better location despite it being the same owners.

Cook or whoever puts the food together needs to go...half hour waits on food and absolutely horrible food quality.. I've driven off twice without my food or money because they forgot to make my order...I was mad and just left... Its actually zero stars from me but I couldn't leave a comment if I didn't put at least one star...To bad I can't post a picture of my tacos...the place is a joke...last and final trip to this DQ...and the q does not stand for quality...July 27 2023 since I originally posted this the DQ has been really good about wait times and the quality of the food I gotta say

Takes too long to get you food at this location. Waited about 15 minutes after i ordered my food, and watched other people that ordered after me get their food, before i went inside to check on my order. The lady in the front said that they were still cooking my food and they would bring it when it was ready. Claimed that there were a lot of orders in front of my order. Took another 5 minutes before i saw my food. Would not think that it would take too long to make a griled chicken salad and a kids chicken strip meal.

Ordered a #1 with cheese,lettuce and pickles only. DRY!!!! It comes with mustard. I send it back they then bring me a cold burger! Wouldn't suggest this place very slow. 45 plus mins for a family of 4.

Terrible service, got a burger with cheese they forgot to add the cheese. Asked to just add the cheese and give it back the lady put the whole burger in the microwave, I told her never mind I didn't want it cause I didn't want hot veggies. Asked for a refund and two people at the register like lil kids fighting over who does it cause they didn't know how to give a refund smh. I just told them never mind keep the money I'll call the owner or who ever runs that store this is not the first time this has happened but the last time. I'm from Austin and never have I experienced this, what sad is that they did nothing to try and fix the situation they just said ok and went on... I stayed in the store about 20 mins longer so my family can finish their meals. Ridiculous!!!!

No rush on ordering when you pull up! Pet peeve is when asked " is there anything else?" Instead they offered other things! How inviting?!!

When going through drive thru you expect to get your meal through drive, but instead I was told to circle around and wait at the entrance where they would take my meal. It took more than 10 minutes when I decided to get off my vehicle to get my order myself, and saw that they were taking a meal to the person who had ordered after me.

All food was fresh. Didn't take long to get our big order out. Great place to stop. Staff was very patient and helpful.

Blizzard thankfully was not served upside down because it was just a little colder than mild. Super messy and took 18 minutes from order to ready for pick up. Fry, float and Blizzard. Not a big order.

I can't believe this place is open with the management at hand. Every time I go in there, they are short handed. Hmm hire more people? Fire the ones that aren't coming in? I mean seriously, one night i saw the cook leave an hour before closing and they have these poor girls doing his job? I have yet to even see the manager up there! Do they even have one? I've been coming here for years but the way things are going, I have no problem going to the other dq IN TOWN. So for some advice to the owners. Get a manager.

The woman that took our order needs to find another place to be because she hates here. Ordered a chocolate malt, no chocolate or malt. Banana split with minimal toppings.

Very Polite, our food came pretty quickly and there weren't any issues with or order. This Is probably the only fast food place that is generous with the napkins and ketchup 👍🏽👍🏽

The rudest lady in the drive through. I cancelled my order and left. I now understand why at lunch time there was only one other car there.

Nachos were s disappointment. The presentation was a little sloppy and small portion. I'm rarely disappointed in their food. This was a first. Normally I'd give 5 stars.
