    Good / Long lines

    DQ is always a favorite stop. The lines are always long but worth the wait. We had a medium Carmel sundae and twist cone dipped in chocolate, the bill was $8.25.

    Very fast and friendly service

    Stopped by on the way off the island after an all day cruise with Captiva Cruise. Even though there was a line at both windows they were moving rather fast. When we got to the window the young lady was friendly and efficient and our...More

    Small but plenty of seating

    How nice to have a DQ with outside seating in February when visiting from Vermont. It was clean, good service, and of course...great ice cream. There is plenty of parking in this busy section of Periwinkle. Bathrooms in the back of the restaurant. Easy to...More

    Just fine if you have small children, lower expectations for adults though.

    Ah...the Sanibel Island Dairy Queen on Periwinkle. Relatively quick stop if you have small kids in tow and want something that will please them. Have patronized it for over 30 years....Not great...not bad. This IS NOT fine dining for adults and it isn't cheap. If...More

    OK place

    We had coupons from Dairy Queen mailed to us in Sanibel so we decided to go there for a quick bite. Well we were told they don't accept coupons since they are independently owned. We went ahead and ordered but their prices are not fast...More

    Not Good

    My family stopped at this Dairy Queen after having dinner on the island, and we were all disappointed in our selections. I had a regular vanilla cone, and the ice cream was not creamy and tasted odd. I thought that maybe it was fat-free ice...More

    Nice place

    Stopped to get a milk shake and got the Royal Oreo Blizzard. It will not disappoint if you are a Chocoholic... staff friendly and clean bathrooms.

    Best Dairy Queen Around :)

    We have been going to Sanibel for years and part of our tradition is to stop by Dairy Queen for a cone. It is just a nice view while sitting outside enjoying your ice cream.

    It's a Classic

    For over 25 years a group of young boys, now men, have been visiting this Dairy Queen. Annually we hold our fantasy baseball draft at the Hyatt in Bonita Springs and celebrate the previous year's winner with a trip to Sanibel Island and a visit...More
