Service is always great at this location, employees are polite and caring. Great spot to stop during an Ottawa-Toronto drive. DQ's quality has been consistently great over the years while other chains have disappointed; this location is a great example!

i don’t understand why it’s so hard for them to serve items how they’re advertised? you sell WARM queso, says so on the billboard, so when i specifically say i want warm queso that means warm. not ice cold outta the fridge. every. single. time i go to this location they give me freezing cold queso and i have to go back through the drive through to get them to reheat it. it’s been more than a dozen times that i’ve ordered it and not a single time has it been given warm, always cold. if it’s so impossible for you to serve warm queso, take it off your menu! stop advertising warm queso or better yet, DO YOU DAMN JOBS! you wouldn’t think sticking a container of queso in the microwave for 20 seconds was such a hard task for the poor shitty excuses you call employees

Went to this location and drive thrusaid closed at 1000, we got there at 959 pm so ok no biggie. Went to front door and they turned all the lights out at 1000 pm. Online said store is open until 1100 pm. Not going here again. Had to drive to Kingston where they WERE open until 1100 pm.

Ordered 3 burgers they were too messy and they gave us no napkins, I also got a strawberry cheesecake blizzard and they only have a few berries and cheesecake bits on the top there's nothing on the bottom. Need to train the teenagers there better

Can you really say anything bad about Dairy Queen other than the calories are too high. They always have a great variety of ice cream and hot foods. Stop at this location is very friendly and very courteous and are very helpful. The drive-thru window is very easy to hear things in order things from. The next time you're in Napanee or at the end of town I would definitely recommend this location as it is one of the best Dairy Queen's I have been in. We dined in and everything was exceptionally good. The staff are all super and friendly

There was a reason why I asked for my gravy on the side when I upgraded to a poutine. Now, I am throwing out the majority of my poutine because it is soggy. Wont be my choice to take supper home after work anymore.

The food was served hot and fresh! The server brought the food to our table when it was ready and was very friendly. The food was very good, and the portion sizes were decent.

December 22, 2023

$18 for a bacon ranch burger with poutine, and drink combo watched the burger being assembled by hand everything out of a container (nothing hot or fresh) put in a box and microwaved for 3-4mins to make it nice and hot. Then the poutine was as cold as the drink and I think the fries were sitting around because they seemed stale. Shouldve asked for my money back because that had to be the worst fast food Ive had anywhere ( and Ive had bad). But the girl was nice and didnt want to embarrass her in front of other customers.

Blizzard was too runny. If theyd tipped it upside down, it would have fallen out. Which I guess is why they didnt, which they normally do. Updating to 2023 September..... stopped in for a Chocolate Chip Cookie dough Blizzard.... again, very runny, you could tip it upside down, but again they didnt, (but I was told she did when i went inside, and I corrected her and told her no, you did not! At this two girls ducked around the corner and hid....) I had gone thru the drive thru, and went around and walked in to ask why it was so runny, I was told their ice cream isnt very good. Well.... isnt that a testament to make you want to come back again?! and I was told its the hot sauce that makes it melt. Well.... what do you know....I had no idea that hot sauce goes in it. I apologized and left, but I live a minute from the store, and had a drink by the time I got home. This was not a Blizzard. And I have a/c in my car on full blast. I type this while I drink my Blizzard ugh.

Family of 4, we ordered 3 blizzards and a peanut buster parfait. I requested my parfiet to have icecream first before the chocolate. Not only did he make it right. It was the best peanut buster parfait I have ever had, all three Blizzard were made with perfect icecream to chunck ratio.

Great service going through the drive through which was pleasantly surprising as I dont use them very often because of a couple trouble spots I didnt want to deal with so I would go into the store itself. The people at the window were awesome and let me take the time I needed to complete my transaction. I hate feeling rushed ! I highly recommend this one.

December 22, 2022

I ordered dinner and was given my ice cream right away but then told I would have to pull ahead and wait at the back doors for my food and there wasnt even a line up. By the time my food came out my ice cream was a melted soupy mess and they didnt even give me a lid so it melted all over my car. I also didnt even get the blizzard that I asked for. I asked for a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup Pie blizzard with extra graham wafer and received a regular Peanut Butter Blizzard with zero graham crackers. I guess it wouldnt have really mattered anyway since it wasnt ice cream at that point anymore anyway. Unacceptable to pay $20 for one person for dinner and not be able to even enjoy or eat it. Very disappointing **Edited to reply to Dairy Queens underwhelming generic response. Why would I come back? There are lots of other restaurants I can go to who dont just say they care about customer service but will make sure if people dont receive good customer service to make it right. Your response shows that you dont care. So I will not be back.

December 22, 2021

Chicken strip baskets were tough and definitely not fresh. We usually think they are among the best around however today they were just bad, the fries were not quite cooked enough leaving them soft instead of crisp. Ice cream was right but they didnt flip over the 1 blizzard that was ordered. All in all a very poor showing this time around, hopefully better next time.

No consistency. Order the same thing everytime and it is never the same. My husband orders a skor blizzard. Sometimes its has so much chocolate syrup in it that the vanilla ice-cream is chocolate. Other times theres no syrup at all. Vanilla ice-cream with skor chunks. Same goes for royal reese. First time I had it, it was delicious. Hasnt been the same since. ( napanee location)

This is a recent visit to Dairy Queen that we were not pleased with. I believe my husband has sent a complaint. Twice at the drive thru my strawberry blizzard with extra strawberries was wrong. First they handed out a Blizzard with chocolate pieces in it and sent it back and 2nd time got a strawberry shortcake blizzard with 1 strawberry all through it and full of the shortcake pieces. Rather than hold up the lineup behind us I ate it, but, was not pleased. They perhaps over mike should repeat order, but, that being said their communication inside must get screwed up somehow.

Last night (September 26th 2021)was the worst night of my life with a fast food restaurant. At 8:46pm i got to dairy queen, I tried to go inside but it was locked so I went in the drive thru (there was 1 car ahead of me, no one behind me then) and I ordered a poutine with bacon,cheeseburger ,2 drinks,and 2 Buffalo chicken snack wraps. They were saying ok to every food I ordered. When I got to the window I waited for a few minutes then finally got my drinks, then a few minutes later she came back and told to wait at the red doors . Then 10 minutes go by, she comes out the red doors told and said Im sorry your order was a little confusing, what was it again, so I told her my order again and asked for the Receipt then she went back inside. 5 minutes later she comes out with my poutine and cheeseburger and she said we r working on your wraps then goes back inside. Another 10 minutes go by she comes outside again and said we r having Difficulties with your wraps would u like to wait longer or have a refund I said refund please so she goes back inside , then comes out with food for a car parked behind me then goes back inside , waited for a few more minutes then so finally comes back out with My refund. Get home, cold poutine and the fries were very very soggy, couldnt eat and a cold burger and no receipt. I was at dairy queen from 8-46pm-9:18pm. I am not happy!!! #dairyqueen #disappointed #neednewmanagment #worstexpierence

This is by far the best DQ in the Kingston area. We live between Kingston and Napanee and most often drive to Napanee for our DQ fix. The drive-thru is MUCH faster and the ice cream is much firmer. In Kingston the ice cream is way too soft and is already making a mess as it is being handed to you.
