Soft-serve ice cream & signature shakes top the menu at this classic burger & fries fast-food chain.
Husband Ordered a custom blizzard ice-cream cake here. The fudge cookie centre was almost non existent and was at the very top. It should be much thicker and in the middle. So much for a blizzard cake. A hair was also found in the cake! As someone who spent 5years working I. DQs in a training store, I would not recommend going here. Try another DQ location.
Went here to get a birthday blizzard cake. Ordered through the app to make it an easy pick up, but it was anything but that. When I got there they insisted I needed to go to Kanata even though it was placed for their store and they had the cake in the freezer. Finally they agreed to give me the cake I paid for after 30 minutes and the guy wrote happy birthday on it terribly and it looked like he even wiped off some of the icing when he made a mistake with his finger. I emailed coperate head office and they told me someone would contact me. Two weeks later and they’re still not answering me and telling me to wait for a reply. Absolutely ridiculous for a 45$ cake that was also freezer burnt.
This location in my neighbourhood never disappoints 😋 The fries are always hot, & the cheeseburger smoky & cheesey "Happy Tastes Good" 🍟🍔
Our favorite dairy queen in town! The service is always fast and the food is fresh! Normally come here for late night snacks and find the staff to be friendly and quick! Keep up the great work!
I ordered choco extreme blizzard from here, barely any toppings felt like plain vanilla Worst !!!
Popped in for lunch with my son..recently discovered how good the hot menu was here. Burgers taste great, fries are a hit..the staff here at the Richmond ace location are so friendly and quick with their service. Really enjoy coming here..try the spicy chicken.
Lisa is fantastic! She helped us choose the perfect cake for our party… She was more than helpful and courteous all while keeping a smile on her face! Her and the crew were top-notch in terms of customer service… I will definitely be going back to this location as the employees were very pleasant to deal with. Thanks again, Lisa for all of your hard work and effort
Thank you to Jay and Lisa for taking care of my cake orders for my birthday this year. I ordered one oreo and one cookie dough cake and they went above and beyond for it. I've attached a few photos to show Lisa's talent. If you want to order a DQ cake, I recommend ordering from this location because of Lisa. I have never met someone as passionate about her cakes as her, and she really enjoys her job. Many people do not realize these DQ cakes are actually made on site, and your local staff serving you your Blizzards are making them in between orders. They are also making the dilly bars, DQ sandwiches, and buster bars you have come to know and love as well. Jay has recently taken over this DQ last year and he's doing such a good job with his staff. He loves all his guests and enjoys helping them make memories with their friends and family. He is honoured to be part of anybody's celebration and is a true joy to interact with personally. You will find that his staff is also the same. They enjoy serving everyone who comes in, and are delighted to see families come in with their children and take photos of their memories at DQ. They also enjoy being a safe place for people to come hang out with with their friends while enjoying dessert or even a meal together. If you're in the area and get a craving for dessert, please consider DQ Britannia. They are a grill and chill as well, so lunch and dinner food are available! Thank you so much for being part of my celebration behind the scenes. It means so much to me. Even a few days later, people are still complimenting your cakes!
The friendliest staff ever! Also, delicious food.. Recommend coming here 100% for ice cream or food!
Great place
I ordered the poutine but the fries were so cold and not eatable. Very disappointed with service and food Food

Nice service love it
Paid extra for extra toppings. They put none in.
Great service and delicious food
Went there Sunday with friends. It will be my last visit until management tells their employees to use gloves or wash their hands when they swipe their sweat from their forehead or work the cash. The guy there wiped his sweating forehead with his hand after, handled the cash and then took his dirty hands and put them all over the cone NOT where the paper film was. So gross!
Cool eats great treats !!! Love the peanut buster parfait
Good ice cream
Amazing staff! Lisa is so kind and helpful. Our favourite location :)
Good ice cream
Best and fast service always
Best quality food n best customer service
Amazing customer service:)
Dairy Queen is the perfect spot for a quick and tasty treat. The Blizzards are amazing, service is friendly, and it s always a sweet experience!
Nothing quite like the service at this location! Classic DQ menu, served quickly, efficiently and the workers there always deliver with a smile. Orders never seem to get messed up either! Food
This place just royally screwed up my basic Uber eats order. Incompetent !
Fast and a great treat. Seats and tables were clean.

Great mini blizzards- delicious
Quick, efficient service. Polite and fast as well!
Lisa went above and beyond to help us select the ideal cake for our party. Her friendly and helpful demeanor made the entire experience a pleasure. The entire staff at Daily Queen was exceptional. We ll definitely be back! Thanks again, Lisa! And Anvi!
Ordered fingers and onion rings.. Onion rings were absolutely horrendous! Old onion rings refried making them rock hard. What a waste of $$ Never again
Very great, excellent service! Thanks Himanshi!
Friendly staff and delicious treats!
Amazing place for any age group and for any special treat . And the staff is extremely sweet. Do check this place out,you wont regret it
My friends and I visited DQ tonight and had a wonderful explanation of the services they provide along with the amazing deals told by the Anvi there. I would recommend to to give it shot.
10 stars to Lisa if I could, amazing service
I really appreciate the service and positive attitude towards the customer especially employee Anvi
The best ice cream store in Ottawa
Very Great Customer service!
Great service. Lovely people. Amazing ice cream.
Excellent and friendly service
Nice staff !
Good service from anvi. Super
Great place to relax and chill
They are like my second home that s how often I go there and I m always satisfied all the way around each time I go no complaints here that s for sure
Amazing service! Staff is lively and friendly! Gentleman who took my order brought our food to the table and made sure to ask us if the food was good.
The ice cream of DQ cant go wrong with it. I tried their Strawberry cheese cake ice cream and is just outstanding. And the behavior of there all staff member is pretty humble and welcoming.
Nice place for ice cream and staff is quit friendly
Very kind staff. We ordered 2 birthday cakes and they were decorated as expected
After having just left the nearby McDs, the level of cleanliness of this property was outstandingly impressive. The staff were very friendly as well, keeping my food cold/hot, and making fresh chicken at 11pm. The cake artist was smooth as heck with the icing text on other customers cakes. Lots of dedicated people are needed to run a good business. <3
Bad quality, no test
I always have the best experience here the staff is incredible nd the service is the best the environment there is the most hospitable
Great service, very friendly cashier and fast service!! Go-to late night place.
Great cream! So much dairy :)
very good for late night ice cream
I moved to this area in 2013 and this DQ has been my go-to restaurant. The staff are amazing, always very pleasant when I go in. Good conversation and lighthearted. ... Im a pickle lover. HUGE pickle lover. When I ask for extra pickles; they put the pickles on both sides of the pattie!! ... Lisa is there usually when I go, now she is an absolute gem! She is always the kindest and friendliest and always has a smile! Highly recommend visiting this location if youre in the mood for some DQ! Parking: Right beside the store. There are two rows of parking in the lot. There is also street parking as well
Amazing service!! Clean and comfortable dining room
First visit was a great visit and will return. We just moved back to the area and found this gem last night after dinner.
We ordered a banana split and we were told after waiting 5 minutes that there were no bananas and had to wait. By the time we got it the ice cream had melted and it was very small not worth the money you spend..
Not many people know this but the burgers at DQ are really good. The only problem is that youll have no room for one of their famous desserts lol. If youve never tried it, order a peanut buster parfait. Salted peanuts with a hot fudge sauce and ice cream. Soooo good. EDIT: Came by again today. The place is clean, including the mens washroom and one of the employees was walking around outside picking up garbage in 30degree weather
Amazing, warm, fresh, fast, food! The NICEST employees at a fast food restaurant i ve ever met, helping me out when my card declined lol, Thanks a lot guys!
Lisa was above and beyond shes so nice and kind great experience highly recommend
Excellent customer service on 06/06/24.
The Google description of amenities mentions there is a wheelchair accessible entrance? Could someone please contact me to let me know where the button is, as I mustve overlooked it when I last tried to visit. Other than a broken down area of the curb near the sidewalk, I mustve also overlooked a ramp, so it was difficult to get close enough with my walker to see if I would be able to get into the building. I ended up going elsewhere.
Another time lisa was above and beyond and her coworker in the kitchen super amazing service food delicious abd fresh highly recommended
Really nice place
She made me brithday cake exactly how I pictured it!! Very very beautiful picked it up today!! My god I m shocked on how beautiful. Well done to the person who made I m sorry I forgot her name. But thanks so much!!! Will buy again!! Super nice too!!
This location has always been constantly good to me, but the new lady at the front desk has taken it to the next level with excellent costumer service. She is interactive, friendly, does a good job and goes above and beyond to make your experience amazing
On their game sometimes lol but it s also a super busy location at some points so that s obviously when they are a bit slower. But thanks for the blizzards!
Best Dairy Queen in Ottawa. Every time I ask for extra Oreo they load that blizzard up. So good and open late.
Great spot for family ice cream treats! The manager and staff were very friendly and our blizzards were great, even had a wee bit of extra topping! Not sure if it s under new mgmt, but the restaurant was also really clean. Dietary restrictions: Non-dairy alternatives
Night staff is fantastic , my mother visited here for the first time and they all suggested the best flavour. I adore Lisas casual style of dealing with people and her sweet grin .
Absolutely fantastic staff!!!!
We were missing half of our order, when I went back to get the rest of my order she said the order never existed, it was the last thing I ever heard before being told that my dog passed away I can never recover from this
Food is amazing, no question about that, but the service is unprofessional and rude. We came about 3 hours before closing had some burgers, ice cream and a few sides. Half of the items were missing. We came back and they told us they couldn t do anything about it while being very rude, the lady kept rolling her eyes and had a very heavy attitude.
The girl that waited on us. Her name was Lisa. She was absolutely amazing. I m sure she is a great asset to the Dairy Queen.
always great service and the girl at the front cash is super friendly and lovely :) always a happy customer here - thank you!!
I was amazed at how fast I got my order. I ordered 2 items and both were ready in under a minute, they started working on it the moment I paid. I was quite impressed, it made me re-think my dairy Queen expectations.
It says it closes at 12 and I arrived at 11:50 pm and it did not serve me. Do what you say
the ice cream was no doubt good but the staff is also really friendly and good, i went there and i was not feeling well so the boy and girl working there at night approached me and asked me ,i sat there for a while they kept checking until i was feeling good.
*$1 SMALL BLIZZARD IS AVAILABLE AT THIS LOCATION MUST HAVE THE APP TO USE THE COUPON* I went in for the $1 small blizzard promotion available on the DQ app. The blizzard was good, however I m deducting points for shady business practices. I m not sure if it s the owner, but I saw 5 people come in after me asking about the $1 blizzard deal and the employee had the audacity to lie and turn them away saying it s only available in the U.S.
Very bad customer service.
Great service, Great Food
The price for the amount you get is crazy. Small portions.
Great place to get chicken strips and ice cream.
Blizzards are the best
Rude treatment from the manger
Rude manager
Ordered take out. Shake had no whipped cream and the grilled chicken was so tough it was inedible. The wraps are also tiny, go around the corner to Wendys for cheaper, bigger, better wraps.
Awesome burger Awesome service Food
Service was fast and efficient. Only complaint is the price.
The last time I went here (about a week ago) the place was dirty, the lighting was poor, decor was very worn. The staff member messed up my order but it was quite loud in their defense. Ice cream is mediocre but your get lots of choice with customization, so at least theres that.
If Im being honest the service was good, staff were friendly Kid-friendliness: Serves ice-cream a childs favorite treat Wheelchair accessibility: Has ramp for easy access as well as buttons for automatic door
Love the food & deserts , hopefully when I have more money I can try some of the other food I havent tried yet
The new ownership really shows the service is phenomenal now. Parking: Lots of parking
I hate the service here. Every order gets messed up and people who order after me get served first. Staff have no clue what they are doing. Dont go here.
Very good customer service. Place is always clean and tidy.
U cant go wrong with DQ on hot day.....They only problem that there is too many decisions....Not sure if I want a Blizzard or a Banana split or maybe a burger
What really got me was that when the girl asked to take our order, she literally ignored us, talked to the other clerk working there, then took our order we asked for two small cones and she gave us a plastic cup with soft ice cream in it. Not to mention over priced for a small. It tasted weird I will not be back to this location. Its not very clean or a friendly spot.
It s a beautiful day in ottawa. Spent the afternoon walking thru Andrew Hayden Park, and decided to take my 4 girls and wife to DQ for a treat. We waited in line, and I ordered 3 coconut dilly bars and 2 blizzards. I was quickly told they didn t sell the dairy free dilly individually and I had to purchase a box. I quickly questioned that and told them I didn t want a box, and once again was told, I needed to purchase an entire box. I ve never been to this location, but Carlingwood, Merivale and Barrhaven don t make me purchase a BOX when I don t want a box. 90% of the time we purchase a single bar for my daughter who has a dairy allergy and other items, which I should add, cost a lot more then the box would cost. I wonder how many other walk out of this location due to silliness of their policies. Dietary restrictions: My eldest daughter has a sever dairy allergy. I know how that sounds, but we were avid DQ people until she was born and we found out. With DQ introducing the coconut dilly bars it has allowed us to start frequenting there again.
Refused to give us water, instant 1 star
Great chocolate Sunday
We were just passing through and stopped in but the service was great and the product was excellent.
Lady Owner of this place is so mean, seems she doesn t care about good customer service
BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! The owner REFUSE to serve me Strawberry Sunday ice cream only because I asked her to put strawberries on the bottom of the cup .
Jesus Christ 2 combos for only 28$, it s a Dairy Queen so it s loud and there s not a lot of seating but I am at inner peace rn istg
Too many workers for the line up that was there waiting
The manager refused to give me water in a cup!! She put it in a ketchup cup!!! The cheapest manager i have ever seen!! When i asked for mayo she wanted to charge me!! I face this at many Indian (asia) owned franchises they tend to give low class service, bad english, lesser milk in coffee on purpose, cardboard spoons at tims, and the list goes on and on, waiting times are horrible because they hire lesser staff to save and the poor lonely staff has yo serve everybody, they get exhausted, all because of one miserable cheap owner (mainly happens with India owners) not all offcourse but many even at DQ, BK, etc
Always good for a blizzard!!
Major Fail. Order two large Vanilla shakes. Not only did the two orders after us get served first. What we were served was inedible. I actually held it up side down like a blizzard. Large lump of ice cream in a cup. Smelled of synthetic vanilla really bad. And when some liquid eventually made it up the new narrower cardboard straw all you could taste was bad synthetic vanilla. And no I am done with this location nothing but bad service and bad reviews. I do not care what the owner replies. This location sucks. Words mean nothing. Train your employees my money was wasted on this product.
Cashier would not give us a cup of water with our meal, she said the manager wasnt allowing them to do it and you had to buy a bottle of water. Wheelchair accessibility: There are no automatic doors.
Missing a chicken strip in my meal I drove across the city to get
Food was good but took a while
Nice Dairy Queen location off Richmond. Not much parking though! Clean location.
Clean. But some of our blizzard had no topping after the top layer. And the employees could smile a bit
DO NOT REUSE THE PLASTIC DIRTY SPOON!!! YOU ARE ALREADY RICH , AND DO NOT FOOL YOUR CUSTOMERS. NEXT TIME, PLEASE BE ADVISE, LL CONTACT CANADIAN HEALTH AND INSPECTION AUTHORITIES.
I ordered a strawberry cheesecake blizzard with extra cheesecake pieces on DoorDash. I paid for the extra cheesecake pieces. When I received my blizzard, there were literally only 3 cheesecake pieces in the entire medium blizzard. Very disappointed and dissatisfied and will not be ordering from this location again.
I thought it might just be a fluke but the last 3 times I ve visited the blizzards no longer have the pieces of your flavouring all the way to the bottom like they used to. Not sure if it s just this location or DQ getting cheap but it s disappointing!
Excellent service like usual. I enjoy going to this location. The service is A+ and they help using the app on the phone everytime.
Service was a bit slow but others are good.
Tried this location 3 times and cant imagine anyone giving it more than 1 star...EVERY time they fail on mobile orders, have no idea how to mix toppings into the blizzard, and seem absolutely clueless and careless. Not the people you want handling your food.
Just stopped for an ice cream cone....and it was delicious. Very clean place and friendly staff
We ordered a dairy queen tropical theme ice cream cake. The team at dq did a fantastic job. Thanks again !
This place is ripoff Stay away from this place My favourite Dairy Queen drink large strawberry banana milk sake Every Dairy Queen I go I pay 5.90 tax included I tried to order from this location 3 of them today Instead of 18 dollars , cashier tried to charge me $22.64 4.64 overcharged I asked why ? She said they are charging for bananas extra 1.40 plus tax each She said owner decides the prices and she can t do anything about it My question is that owner doesn t follow the franchise prices every Dairy Queen stores follow ???? Never go there again ? Very disappointed
I found a mold on the bottom of the bread
This location has a very small parking lot
Best Ice cream ever, fast and good
Cant seem to get an order right. Ordered onion rings, got lrg fry, triple stack burger, no tomatoes, got tomatoes..ughh! Burger was awful! Horrendous! Dry and tasteless. What a complete waste of $$! Tried calling 6x, no answer. Lost my business. One job, read order, make order, quality food check. When you can not do the simplist of tasks, take extra $$ for onion rings and then do not answer phone.. Incompetent or lack of training?
This location is great for ice cream products but that s it, I d avoid food at all costs. All the bad reviews are about the food at this location and I ve seen it myself. Usually I take the kids for a treat of ice cream and order a French fry, loads of times I ll end up with onion rings, or it ll take 40 minutes to get the French fries even though there s about 10 workers inside and only 2 customers inside. I ve sat there with my kids eating ice cream watching people come in and get the wrong burgers constantly, and having to wait 30 minutes to be corrected, overall I love this DQ for ice cream for the kids but I d recommend avoiding any food here, you re better off going to McDonald s, KFC or Harvey s close by and still probably get your food right and faster then this place will ever do it.
This my second time at this DQ. the first time was a real joke. I ordered hamburger and after the lady added the lettuce, tomatoes, condiments she actually put it in the microwave. This visit was simple, just ordered chocolate milkshake. I watched as she added the milk but it was a lot. Then she added the syrup and ice cream and mixed them. It came out as a runny drink not a shake. Had to complain so she added more ice cream to make it thicker. Will definitely be avoiding this place in the future.
I am never disappointed when I visit this business, and am always happy with my treats from DQ. Parking: I have always been able to find a parking spot there. Kid-friendliness: I often see teams coming in after practice for a treat
It is what it is.
We ordered a strawberry Sunday with hot fudge and marshmallow and the girl had no idea how to make it, she put the hot chocolate fudge on the bottom with the marshmallow sauce and then just poured strawberries on it. Was not good. I believe if you are going to buy a franchise you need to know how to make the things properly. Wont go there again.
STOP MICROWAVING THE CHICKEN WRAPS. Seriously, this is the only location that does this. Nobody wants soggy chicken and burning hot lettuce.
