This is the third time this has happened to us from the Cochrane location so I’m sharing. We order a basket of onion rings for the 6 of us, and get enough that would fill the regular sized box. It happens with blizzards too. Pay to have extra in it, and it arrives like a cup of ice cream; barely any additives.

Didn’t like the Skor Caramel thingy. I visit once a year and last year I didn’t like the Chocolate peanut thingy. Taste and feel of both feel artificial and mass produced. I will stick to cones or go to Mackays in the town centre. Quick service, table available, ok atmosphere.

Tina the worker a had an attitude while serving me my Sunday had barely any fudge on it I asked for a small and got charged for a medium pretty unimpressed the ice cream was good though

March 3, 2024

Ordered for the first time in a long while (I rarely order takeout from anywhere anymore). Had the four chicken strips meal. This used to be a filling meal, but the portions have become tiny. I guess this is a sign of the times, so I cannot really blame DQ for this. But I will never order from here again. I usually cook, but today I was so exhausted from work.

I love their double cheeseburgers. The dilly bars are more expensive than they used to be, and you only get six instead of eight. But.... They do make the burgers when you ask, so they are always fresh. Go when they have a good promo like two for ten bucks.

I ordered a birthday cake for my 7 year old twins and asked for pink and blue, and if they could be creative and make a puppy / Star Wars theme. I was so excited to pick it up and not only were the names spelt wrong but all they did was slap 2 ugly pictures on the top. So disappointed , nothing was on the sides , I wish I just would’ve made my own cake after seeing this one.

A solid DQ experience here! They are starting to have longer drive thru lines in the evening understandably due to the warmer weather but it goes quick! The staff are very pleasant also and the fries come out hot 3/4 times!

Restraunt is clean and staff are very friendly but their food is so bloody expensive. Their combo fries box is smaller than my fist and Im a small woman. Im basically getting half a potato worth of fries for like $5... I know the economy is bad but Fry portions have been going down consistently and considerably over the last 4 years while the prices go up. Thats not how it works for continued business of regulars. A shame really, but DQ has finally crossed the wrong cost/taste ratio for me.

They made the best kind of mistake . They gave me 5 pieces of spicy buffalo chicken instead of 4 because they felt one of them was too small. High five to the manager! Clean, nice and friendly staff. Also picked up a Skor Treatsa Pizza . This location is always stocked ! Tasty, and a nice change up from regular fast food. Always find DQ a good option.

Ordered 4 singles and when I went to pay for it realized my wife had my bank card and I was short almost 2 dollars. The lady still gave me the burgers and said dont worry have a great day and enjoy. She didnt have to do that I would have been happy to just take to of singles but she said I dont want to have to throw them away. Thought was super nice of her. I hope she doesnt or got in trouble. Thank you lady and dairy queen I will be back again and again !!!

December 21, 2022

Just a question to management. Why do staff still do the upside down test for blizzards when they put a lid on the cup and then do the upside down test? Isn t the reason for the test is to show how firm the ice cream is after the blizzard is made? 3 of the last 5 orders of blizzards have been partially melted by the time we get the treat. Staff do the test, hand us the treat, we take the lid off and have to ask for extra napkins because the blizzard is already melting. We had not even left the drive through window and the treat had melted enough that when the lid came off melted ice cream dripped out of the cup. We now ask for Sunday s because at least we can see if the treat has melted or not. Used to like the blizzard flavours now we just avoid the blizzards.

I went into the restaurant and ordered food , sat down for 40 mins thought it was taking a long time. got up and asked where my food was, it was sitting there behind the counter the whole time and they still tried to give me this food that s been there the whole time. It was cold and gross, didn t even eat it and wouldn t offer a discount or coupon or anything . This place 5 years ago use to be good I m not sure what happened but I ll never go there again 90% of my visits which aren t often anymore end displeased. I recommend not taking the chance and going somewhere else.

Twice in a row now we have received terrible service. Both times the blizzards and banana split have been melted. I tried to discuss this tonight with the employee at the drive through window only to be completely ignored. Flipping the blizzards upside down with a lid on means nothing. Giving customers banana splits which are just a bowl of liquid with a banana in it is not acceptable.
