Me and my daughter loves this place. I just have to watch where they eat because I have dietary restrictions and they don't have a lot of low sugar or low sodium things to choose from and they only have turkey sausage. Not tricky bacon so there's not too much. I can eat from there now but my daughter loves it all. Still I do too. I just can't afford to eat it. My body don't like it but I do lol but I still like the refreshers and once in a while I'll still get my sandwich. Just make sure I get that turkey sausage! Great place to eat breakfast. Go get some before we eat it all

We ordered 2 iced coffees in drive thru. Service was quick and polite. The Coffee was made properly. The $2 any size iced coffee happy hour has ended. They now offer $2 medium iced coffee when ordering thru the Duncan App.

Every morning we come to this Dunkin for something to do during quarantine. Every employee we’ve come in contact with has been super sweet and the food is always done quick! If it weren’t for this dunkin & their kindness, I wouldn’t be where I am today with my MH journey. Thanks for always being lovely guys

I hadn't been into a DD in over 10 years and decided to stop here for a breakfast sandwich and some hash browns. I used the self service order tablets cause why not? My sandwich and hash browns came out quickly and were perfect. On the way home, I realized I forgot to ask for ketchup, but when I looked in the bag, they were already there. This is a goated move and this DD is low key the one, I put that on gang and the community. Keep up the good work.

It's fine, never had anything cold or bad, if you have time. The drive thru is always busy and slow but that's why it's hot..

A lil too much ice in the protein shakes, but the taste was great.

I love the ice coffee. Only get it a couple of times a year, so it is a real treat.
