Braum's itself is a classic mainstay for me. I know they can only afford enough to hire high schoolers or college kids who need a summer job, but seriously, hire someone who can train them properly. Plenty of other places that pay around the same are capable of coercing better service out of these kids. Chick-fil-A is a great example. The only reason I hesitate to go into any Braum's is the service.

I've been a regular at the Braum's Ice Cream Shop in Derby, and it never disappoints. The shop is consistently clean, and the employees are always courteous, treating customers with great respect. The food is always on point, and the ice cream variety is fantastic. Overall, anytime I'm in the mood for ice cream, Braum's is my number one choice. Highly recommend!

The food is good, great priced, but don't go at night. The staff is lazy, they just want to get our of there. There's a ton of small things that you are missing or that you notice.

Always love this fast food shop for a good and inexpensive club chicken sandwich or cheeseburger. About half the grease it seems. Ice cream is perfect in flavors but I have to stick with the yogurt because of my lactose intolerance. But a great place to go to because these guys are usually very clean I'm the dining area and bathrooms. They have workers that seem to cars compared to other fast food places.

Since being in Kansas, I've been learning more and more about milk and the processing of such. Braum's milk is the best and healthiest. When they say A2 cows, this means lactose free type of milk. Anyone can drink it without discomfort (gassiness, bloating, nausea) and you can eat their ice cream too! This is now my preferred store for all things dairy. Thank you for excellent products that are incredibly fresh and great tasting!

It's not always super clean and staff can sometimes ignore you but food has never tasted gross. Always fresh cooked food

The bread was fresh, ice cream varieties were more than numerous. I wish they had mention it was on sale, we may have bought more. Service is always very good in Derby, in the restaurant and the grocery area. It was a nice, quiet breakfast with the hubby. And neither of us ha to make the biscuits and gravy. Which were good.
