I had this review up in June and was asked to take it down to resolve the matter and I’ve been waiting for 5 months for DQ to make it right but they haven’t so here I am posting the review again because no action was made on their end. The store had the dining area closed because the floor was being renovated so no dine in eating was allowed, understandable, but I arrived without a car and wanted an order to go and they said they would take my order if I stood in the drive thru. I wasn’t going to stand in a drive thru behind cars and in front of cars breathing in exhaust fumes to make an order. I was treated rudely and haven’t been back since.

Bought my twin daughters their birthday cake from here. The perfect one was already ready in the cabinet. Took it to the cashier she even offered to add writing my daughter declined super friendly staff dairy Queen as always

Banana split - they put the hot fudge and strawberry in the dish first, very little, then the ice cream. Very light on the toppings. Worst banana spilt ever…

October 6, 2024

I arrived about 8 pm. After a vehicle was leaving the drive through. I parked in the drive through waiting to get service. No response after a few minutes I drove to the window and tried to get service. A few minutes the vehicle behind me waiting for service left. I was waiting for someone to notice me in the drive through. Another vehicle drove up to make a order. A few minutes went bye and finally they made there order. I was still at the window waiting for service. Finally I was noticed made my order an purchased. I waited an reasonable time for my purchase. I left and the vehicle behind me could get there late purchase. Thank you the food was good but the Waiting in the drive through was quite unexceptable. Time is $$$ if you can let customers drive through unnoticed. The drive through was full when I left. And there were only a few customers inside. I was considering a larger order before the long Wait.

We love ordering Dairy Queen and having it delivered. There aren’t often mistakes with our order unless something is missing. The food is always good. My recent orders are puzzling though. Every blizzard in the last two months burn my throat after. Some times I can only get half way through a small. We ordered 4 tonight and all 4 of us felt it. Usually it’s just me but not tonight. It’s been a few hours and my throat still burns. Anyone else feel it?

For the past year I have been waiting for them to fix the slushie machine. I go at least once a month. In the summer I like to get the cotton candy blizzard, I understand that it is now gone because we are in September. I ordered three different things and they were all not there. I think they should look into getting things fixed. It’s been over a year. Thank you

Spotless environment.. clean. Tasty food, Always kind customer service… contender for the best fries and chicken strips right now. Plus they always give me an extra strip when I get the 3 piece

Service is typically good. But today I went through the drive thru. Took a long time to get the order. Then on the way home realized they didn’t include our ice cream. I went back. When I arrived, they were expecting me as the young guy at the counter was holding our banana split. Melted. Clearly had held onto the same ice cream from when I was in drive thru. 10 minutes later and the ice cream was melted. In frustration I walked out.

No icecream at Dairy Queen?! Went in tonight with friends to grab a treat, and after waiting about ten minutes listening to staff grumble and complain, none of their icecream machines were working. They had to issues refunds to everyone who was waiting. These kids working should have support. They had no idea how to handle this issue. Obviously a terribly managed location.

December 22, 2023

I went through the drive through and firstly wanted the blizzard of the month Reese salted Carmel or whatever it is but they didn t have it so instead I ordered a strawberry cheesecake blizzard and they made it so wrong it s supposed to have cheesecake chunks in it but instead it s just strawberry icecream with dark chocolate chunks like what the actual is this DQ

December 22, 2023

Hit and run in their parking lot and they have 0 cameras covering it to help

Got a triple burger and poutine, poutine tasted like fries had been sitting out for an hour then microwaved, and the burger was dry and chewy, absolute waste of money.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Dairy Queen Grill & Chill in New Glasgow, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and friendly atmosphere that immediately put me at ease. The menu selection was impressive, offering a wide range of delicious options. I opted for their signature GrillBurger, and it was cooked to perfection - juicy, flavorful, and served with all the fixings that made each bite an absolute delight. The fries were crispy and golden, just the way I like them.

Excellent! Staff were patient while we scoured the menu looking for the right Blizzard, then when we couldnt find it (it was the previous months Blizzard of the month) they said they could still make it for us. Quick service, friendly staff. No complaints (we only used the drive through).

December 22, 2022

Food is good as usual but I went through the drive thru , service was good but the drive thru itself is terrible in my opinion just because it is so steep that any little bit of ice snow or slush causes you and your vehicle to slide down the drive thru/parking lot which leads right into traffic a busy road all day every day too, can be a bit dangerous

I went to Dairy Queen on Westville Road. It was the worst burger I have ever had there. Did we change the burgers. It was superthin and reminded of the Sunrise burgers you buy in the frozen section. Everything else was great as well as the service.

Very frustrating making a special trip out for a blizzard with my daughter half hour before closing time and it already being closed with 3 employees standing around chatting inside with zero explanation why they were closed . Three other vehicles pulled into the parking lot looking to make an order too , they were probably just as disappointed as I was

I love their drumstick blizzard and they discontinued it, Im quite upset. I got them at least 2-4 times a week. They were delicious. None of the other kinds interest me. So theyve lost a customer. EDIT... I went to Dairy Queen this evening and they brought back the drumstick blizzard! Needless to say, I got not 1, but 2 large blizzards as I had a coupon for BOGO for $1.99. So now they get 4 stars because my burger was pretty gross today, but the blizzard makes up for it!

The young guy behind the counter must have thought that it was someone elses job to bring us our meals, he put the meals on the counter and said to me your meals are ready we had been told by the cashier to sit down and that they would bring our meals to the table. As it turns out another person brought our meals. I thought that kid was arrogant and if I was the owner he would get a good dressing down and a warning. The meals were ok only, nothing to write home about. That place was better with the previous owner.

Over the last number of years, Ive made some *interesting* (read: difficult, intricate, unusual) requests for cake designs, and these ladies have never let me down. Theyre true artists with gel icing and always do a fabulous job of bringing my ideas to life. Theres nothing like adding a personal touch to a classic like ice cream cake, and this team has got it DOWN PAT!!!

This location has a very awkward parking lot and no sign to indicate where the drive through entrance is. They also do not have a display screen to show your order and total. At other locations I had gottena soft serve cone for me and a pup cup for my dog, which was a very small, free dish of soft serve (to keep her out of mine!) I ordered the same here and it came to around $8.50. I have no idea why since there was no display or receipt. But thats a pricey soft serve cone...

December 22, 2020

I went through the drive-thru and requested to have new crispy chickens cooked fresh, when I got my order it was just old ones that were re cook, they were hard as rocks The fries were cold and the onion rings were only half full. If youre looking for a fast food place I wouldnt recommend this place. I will never go to the Dairy queen again They dont understand freshly cook food They probably give out the old food and cook fresh food for themselves and friends. There a reason why I dont go to Dairy queen For food.
