Soft-serve ice cream & signature shakes top the menu at this classic burger & fries fast-food chain.
Dairy Queen in Penticton’s service is colder than their ice cream. The only think they know how to say is how much money to give them. No hello, thank you, bye… just blank nothingness. For the highest priced fast food joint I would expect them to have something about them worth going back for.
Super burgers, staff smiling and efficient!! I gave it a 4 because I feel the fries need to spend a wee bit more time cooking. Soft and not crunchy at all , fix this for a 5 !! Super banana split and dilly bars.
Girl on drive thru tonight isnt competent enough to work drive through. Actually isnt competent enough to work any job. Should be institutionalized shes that dumb. Get rid of her. Until shes gone i will not come back
I come here at the very least once a week but the employees are just getting stupider snd stupider. The lady wouldn’t let me use me redeem my points. What is the purpose of me collecting them if I can’t use them? I had $35 worth of food snd she wouldn’t let me redeem $12 worth of points when i have about 15,000 of them. I decided to just leave and let them make the food and waste it. Wont be back. Will drive to oliver if i want dairy queen
Customer service was fantastic. All of the employees helping us today were very kind, efficient, and very helpful. I was impressed by the cheerful ladies insisting on taking our food out to the tables with us instead of having us make a couple trips back and forth from the counter. Sadly you don't often see service like that in fast food. Well done to the staff!
There is something wrong with the chocolate dip here. Tried dipped cones twice, both times the dip is so thin you can see through it and it stays soft. Maybe they are thinning it or something but definitely not what it’s supposed to be.
Ordered my daughters birthday cake. Zero complaints, kids loved the reeses pieces blizzard cake.
Very efficient quick and very friendly staff. Great meal deals for 6.00 or 7.00 which includes a dessert! Got the bacon 1/4 cheeseburger meal and poutined the fries for only 1.00 more. It was very friendly service and they gave me a number while I wait for my order to be prepared. I liked the suggestion from the clerk you want keep your receipt and if you are eating in you can bring it up to the counter after you eat and get the dessert then. Burger and poutine tasted OK for the value but dessert after finished it off just right. Great for a meal lunch or afternoon when you need something to fill you up for awhile.
Great spot to eat an have treats
Look how much chicken they put in my wrap
I went there yesterday and ordered two burgers and as I was waiting inside I was just standing watching behind the till and I noticed the cook drop my burger (it was in a bowl but bounced out) He immediately tried to grab it off the ground and looked to see if anyone was looking (which I was) and as you can imagine I asked for my money back and left.
Good fast food. Excellent team staff. Parking: Okay Food : 5/5 |
Used to be a decent spot, now they just seem to ignore what you order or just make you wait at the counter for about 10 mins without any employee acknowledging you... just keep on walking by and ignoring customers.
Longest drive thru wait of my life. We just ended up going right thru and eating at McDonalds.
Blizzard has barley any toppings in it
Nice place to grab a treat Dietary restrictions: They have a vegan option for my daughter - dilly bar. It s great as she can have ice cream with us. Food : 4/5 |
Your Google page says you close at 10:30pm we got there at 10:05pm and you said youre closed. Maybe you should change that on Google?
Need to update closing time, says 10:30 but its 10:00. Wasted my time going there on a work night just to be met by a disrespectful employee and relieved the bird.
Unfriendly workers. They forgot my fries and the tables are not clean.
Food was good and fresh. A nice experience
Nice gentle staff friendly good communication skills
Went for a strawberry Sunday last night and found a hair wrapped around the cup and sticking onto the top of the Sunday. Pulled it off at the counter and took a scoop and had a second long hair wound through the Sunday. The staff witnessed this and did apologize. They made a replacement Sunday instead of refunding me. It didnt make me want to go back.
Staff is lovely and the food and ice cream is standard for Dairy Queens. My one complaint... Is the parking and having just one entrance and exit. Access to the alley is so needed and Im sure delivery trucks agree aha. But no complaints in regard to the actual dairy queen. Recommend stopping in for a treat.
Very nice staff and frozen treats are always great
Sketchy area . It s an ok Dairy Queen
Well dairyqueen should stick to ice cream and avoid trying to do hot food because there no good at making hot food today I ordered 2 triple bacon two cheese deluxe burger combos and 2 double bacon two cheese deluxe burger combos and it was all so cold I dont think they even heated up my burgers or the bacon I opened it up and felt the bacon and beef Pattys and both were cold not warm cold like it just came out of a fridge and the burger Pattys were dry aswell like old, the buns were stiff not good seemed old I wasted 62 dollars and I ended up going to wendys and getting hot food I would not and will not buy food from any dairqueen ever again very disappointed
Do not order custom ANYTHING from this place. The employees do not care about the service or product they send out. The custom cake lettering is such an embarrassment. Id rather just go to summerland to get icecream. Such a dissipointment. Food
Nice neat and clean restaurant as well as love their blizzards
Typical fast food, nice people and I love the ice cream.
Great desserts Best burgers in town next to TRIPLE Os which is not cheap and if have app code and app some decent deals for great combos more than comparable to MCDONALDS prices and they have better food and dont mess up orders constantly like MCDONALDS dont bother with Burger King yucky and the microwave there food after cooked Grosse Smells like garbage tastes like Garbage come out like Garbage
I was looking forward to icecream and I u understand they were supper busy but I asked for a banana split and extra fudge sauce and peanuts. I didnt get extra. Barely got any other toppings. Mostly just plain icecream. The other stuff was great. Icecream and pretty disappointing. That was the only reason I ended up coming.
Only a 5 min wait to get food. It was around 630 PM. Parking: Parking is in the rear, but so is the drive thru. Kid-friendliness: Choices for kids,and big booths. Wheelchair accessibility: Button to press
One of the better fast food places in 2022! Im always impressed with the flavour the food delivers and how fast and hot the food comes, although most people only get icecream I would recommend trying something from their hot food!
I like dairy queen but you guys literally never give ketchup with my meal the Sundays Ive been getting are like tiny look nothing like advertised and Ive just got back home and the stuff I asked for on my burger isnt there please train your staff better I was literally just there 10 min ago
What I like is the consistency of the DQ brand over decades. Reliable products and flavors that can be counted on. Thanks DQ
Burger Meal That i Had Last Time made My Stomach Full and Satisfied What else u Want After a Hard working day
Make sure you bring cash if there machine isnt working theyll not serve you. Bad attitude and worst customer service
sw
Dietary restrictions: They offer gluten free ice cream cakes Food
Good experience
Always a good place for ice cream! Blizzard anyone??
Getting very expensive.
Very rude when trying to figure out what was celiac friendly, don t know if we where annoying the lady at the window or if she was having an off day. Got a banana split that had almost no ice cream and was mainly banana and whipped cream, and old stale fries. Kind of disappointing since Dairy Queen is a rare treat.
Cotton candy blizzards are yumyum good. Double stacked bacon n cheese is my sons favorite burger.
I always go through the Drive Through to get Blizzards
Good Soft Ice Cream and Burger & Fries
Ice cream cake was great!
Inconsistent with food presentation. Using edible oil products for whip cream Ordered moolatte, have to be reminded to add whipped topping and drizzle. Stingy with addons. Some staff unfriendly. Our vote for least favorite location. Will be looking for alternative location when traveling in the area. ;( Food
Nice and cool inside. Enjoyed my mushroom burger combo and filled me up.
Delicious burgers and Blizzards
Drive through, slow
Horrible customer service from beginning to end. Was being ignored for window orders, while my order was being taken. I had asked to dine in. Was handed a bag of food with no words exchanged from the staff member. When my wife approached the counter asking for the rest of the order, she was told everything was in the bag. I then approached the counter in a not so friendly way. Explaining I wanted what I paid for. The manager called me a liar and said I had all my food. Even came to our table and checked over every item. Then to make up for their mistake they brought me my missing burger. And said there was a wait for our ice cream. Then I asked about my other drinks and was again told I already had them. When I received my drinks and blizzards. They were still missing 2 chocolate milks from the order. When asked about the chocolate milks. They replied you only said you were missing drinks.(last time I checked chocolate milk was a drink) I would never recommend coming to this location. As the staff are entitled, have no customer service skills. And refuse to admit to mistakes. I had even tipped the cashier as I recognized she was training and they were busy. But when your repeatedly ignored and after that called a liar, you tend to be less tolerant towards others.
Clean quick service staff friendly with ample parking
Its not bad. They cover the ice cream sundaes with enough topping IE: fudge, caramel, etc. Staff are friendly, lots of parking and store is clean.
We usually get great blizzards, but Im not sure if their ice cream machines were working properly or not the day we went through the drive through but the first one was good and the other 2 were on the melted side already. 9
Elaine went here, and got the wrong burger, and it was cold and soggy.
Absolutely terrible. It took what felt like 10 minutes to get the simple order of 4pc chicken strip basket with honey mustard through. Can we please get employees that at the bare minimum can work the system and don t require me to repeat a one item order a dozen times?
Many amazing ice cream dishes as well a good selection of burgers and other treats
During my first visit, I was impressed by how clean it was, service was good and the staff are friendly. The ice cream I got was wonderful and served quick. Id recommend going to this location, they have a chill atmosphere (pun totally not intended ).
Had trouble with credit card from US. Were patient and we worked through. They do not take US currency. Everything else was great. A little tight for a Class A motor home
Always affordable. I always order the 2 for 6 dollor menu.
DO NOT EAT HERE, your food is not clean and the poorest of quality. Served food that had hair in the poutine and burgers that werent correct and sat out for most of the day
Dined in it was relaxing.
service was fast and efficient, and food was good
Got blizzards through drive thru today, I got a strawberry cheesecake, and when I was eating, I noticed a piece of some kind of nut. I dont necessarily mind nuts, but its definitely a hazard for those who have nut allergies. Staff needs to be more careful!
Staff was very friendly and great at up selling. The food was good . The only issue I had was that there was NO RECEIPT so when I took a picture of the free dilly bar scan code with survey -needed a receipt- was not happy.
The Muahroom Swiss Double Burger and the 3 Onion Rings I snafooed from my family members box of Onion Rings were jusssst well, ok, not extraordinary but still edible, nice taste, a tad of the old oil taste but not too horrible, so those get an o.k.. The service was adequate, friendly, and fairly fast, but she got a little bit annoyed with the fact that I had to try a couple of different cards to pay for the order. Because I forgot which card was active in which card was old, understandable, but, I dont think youre supposed to show it in your face, That youre annoyed, that is. Parking: Well, the parking is ok in numbers for the spots it has, but, yep, sorry but heres another but, there was a homeless encampment along the parking lots rear cement retaining wall and two people actively shooting up behind the Dairy Queen dumpster making it a little dicey for some folks that have never seen it or have seen too much of it having to park back there. The above-mentioned homeless people are not always there, maybe 65 to 70 percent of the time someone is hanging around. So park in the angled spots along each side of the building if you cant handle a little blast of reality. Kid-friendliness: The Dairy Queen in Penticton I would say is only kid-friendly due to all the great ice cream, cake and sugary treats and what kid doesnt like going out to eat, especially at a faster food place with mountains of deserts? As for a playground, nope. Anything kid-friendly to do, hmmm, just possibly Crayons and a funky cool placemat to colour, thats it.
Never have I been served a microwaved burger, but I witnessed both my burgers go into one here making me wonder just how old they were. My other problem was that I couldnt understand while waiting for my microwaved burgers was why there is so many flies and that the staff didnt seem to care. Sorry not sorry, never going back.
Person that served us, although friendly and polite, had a very hard time understanding me when I was trying to order. Had to bring someone over to take over. Not one worker in there was speaking English when talking to eachother. Food was standard fast food, fries were hot and fresh. Restaurant area was clean and well maintained.
Almost $10 for a large Blizzard and $7 for a Peanut Buster Parfait that seems to keep getting smaller. 10/14/23 I ordered a ice cream cake for my friends birthday and I was extremely disappointed. It was a good size and it should be for $60. It had hardly any chocolate ice cream or my favorite part the fudge, crunchy chocolatey middle. They used to put way more. Im never buying anything from DQ again.
I ordered brownie oreo cuperfection through drive thru and when I came to pick my order I got my wrong order and then told them again to make the right one but that was still not the right one .After saying two times i got the order after some time.
Love DQ but can barely call it DQ anymore, rude team members, hard to explain the order as they dont understand. Food 3 stars as chicken overdone, dry.
4 piece basket with fries??. kind of super duper small..lolol
Dropped in to pick up an ice cream cake last minute. Thankful they were able to write a Happy Birthday message for me. It was great!
Kid-friendliness: Kids zone Food
Recently ordered from skip the dishes. Ordered a blizzard with brownie chunks and chicken straps and fries with dip. Chicken and fries stone cold. Said i was gettin a $8 dollar coupon. One inpaid the coupon wa removed to not activated. Blizzard was melted. Never received my dips and not 1 brownie chunk it. Apparently its brownie crumbs that blend till you cant see them. Called to discuss. No apology was given and no offer tor rectify. Absolutely apllaing customer service and no resemblance of quality. Another bad experience at the penticton location.
Staff was polite and friendly. Service was fast and efficient, and food was hot and fresh. Parking: Plenty of parking Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible for anyone
Hamburger a little bland ice cream always good the service was a bit on the slow side
Almost every time I order blizzards for my family and I, they are just vanilla ice cream with very small flakes of what is supposed to be in them. I even got them remade one time and they were the exact same.... no flavor and not worth 10$ for a cup of plain ice cream which is supposed to be a blizzard...
Who can resist a PbParfait or a banana split?
Orden the two can dine it was excelente its a really good deal
Wow
Staff are not friendly went there at 9:50pm the open sign was on and as soon as I park and started walking to the door Rachel the supervisor came running and lock the door and then turned off the light so rude
They gave me the wrong flavour when I went there tonight. It tasted like vomit, and I couldn t even eat it. Very disappointing,
Super friendly staff who create ice milk treats to make almost everyone happy in their tummy! My grand-kidlets sure were!
I had ordered blizzards a little while ago and they were basically vanilla ice cream. Very flavorless. But I gave another chance and thus time they Wouldnt answer my question about an item, (asking if they had it) tried charging for a kids cone. I ordered a poutine got it home and the container was only half full.
Yummy soft ice cream and good burgers
Service is lacking and slowly going down hill. If you dont want to wait. Walk in and dont be lazy. Drive through is the worst.
Average....
Access to drive-thru and parking lot is a bit of a challenge. It is a one-way lot. Once parked in one of the few empty spots, proceeded to restaurant. The menu was lit up to an extreme brightness. Once ordered I asked for washroom key and was informed that the washrooms are closed because closing time is coming up. So I was able to spend my money but not use the facilities. It took almost 15 minutes to receive the blizzard. Which was agonizing as to my condition. Ugh! I little decency goes along way. I wont have a good feeling about this DQ next time Im craving ice cream so I will go to another chain.
Not so good: cheese burgers and fries.
Fairly priced but a little stingey on fries and onion rings in their chicken finger combo
Good service
Love Dairy Queen one of my favorites. And who doesnt love Orange Julius . Right
Blizzard was runny, DQ coupons not accepted. Dont waste your time, hit up a local spot like Tickleberry s. Itll cost the same, but its real ice cream to boot!
Nice service . great blizzards
Not good. Dirty.
All bout the ice cream.
Service wasnt fabulous cold 2 day old fries chicken was like rubber do not go there!! Manager is also very very rude!!
Even with economic inflation I cannot resist a good grill and chill.
Great peanut buster parfaits! Not stingy with the chocolate at all. Love the strips!
Awesome service, great good
Is it my imagination or are servings getting smaller? I had a delicious Dilly bar. Its been years since I had one. I could never finish a whole bar in one sitting and now its easy to finish it off. Good thing because it wasnt frozen solid, the stick was crooked and fallout immediately plus its hot out so it would have been a hugh sticky mess by the time I got home.
Staff was very friendly. Clean and cold inside perfect for the hot weather.
This place was dirty long lineups waited 10 mins to get the 2 things that we ordered , both medium blizzards! Very un organized, please do better thats my favorite DQ place!
This place was awesome but very busy please so better rook 10-15 mins to get my order
Service was good. Staff was knowledgeable and helpful. Parking: Lots of parking in the back. Drive thru was very busy.
Dairy Queen means queen of tasteful and divine. i love their blizzard and yummy burger ,strawberry milk shake too,with a friendly stuff.
There was a wasp in my blizzard. I have photos to prove it but this rating system doesn t let you post photos.
Lovely girl served me today. Bought a fudge cake and she did a lovely job with the writing.
Good ice cream. Consistently poor quality hot eats. Won t be going back.
Do not try their new frooty dipped cone unless you like the taste of Fruit Loops a lot.
Best place in town
Ice-cream Sunday was just what I needed.
I got a Pecan mudslide and it had no ice cream inside that cup I went in there and staff was no help so I guess my last time going there sad to say
Fast drive through, friendly service and food is good
Nice
The pop tasted like they havent cleaned the machine in a long time, The Burger definitely did not taste like meat. This will be my final stop a Dairy Queen. Service at the drive 3 window was great.
Dont go through drive thru, order is always wrong and when you say something they say its drive thru you have to expect that. No I dont have to expect that. I worked there, drive thru should never have to expect that.
DQ made my sons bday cake just right. All I did was email a picture to them and they put it on the cake. This was the download
Fast and accurate
Very good food and fast service
Good onion rings
Ordered a large amount of different items..staff was friendly and fast
Awesome
Cones seem to be getting smaller, however, things are delicious. Loved the blizzard ice cream cake.
Love getting their coupons
Have been here a few times in the last year and every time, without fail, ice cream is too soft. Be it Blizzard or sundae, its soup within a matter of minutes. Even in winter. Also, a noted decline in volume of toppings. I think the last time I have a cheesecake Blizzard or had 3 tiny chunks of cheesecake. My current strawberry sundae is severely lacking in strawberry.
It was fine . But cold having to sit outside. Not their fault . Will be back when it warms up
Ive been loving this place for a few years now. They always take great care of us.
Was great got treats for little ones
Quick service!
Love this place
Havent had a DQ burger in quite a while. Have to go more often. Great double burger and the fries are good without any catsup or anything
Do is always great
so today I was scrolling through social media and I came across a couple posts of someone ordering a smoothie, and found 2 unknown pills within the drink and it is believed to be ecstasy. it s been posted all over social media. I don t think I will be visiting this location again.
It was a good visit.
Their food is good. Expensive, service is kinda bad, always get my order wrong charged me extra for something I didnt get.
Always enjoy the ice cream. Did notice we got smaller portions here. Cones were bigger in other towns we have been
Who doesn t like ice cream!
Food is mediocre. Ice cream choices are great!
Very clean..amazing quick service..
Quick and friendly service
Excellent food awesome service.
You know you are dealing with cheap owners when the cones are so skimpy the ice cream is straight up skinny on the cone. Next time intend to say something as that is a pathetic way for an icecream store like Dairy Queen to make a few extra cents especially when ice cream is their game. That s the problem with franchises when companies don t hold them to standards like they used to. But you notice this where the east indians are buying out all the fast food stores now like the DQ s, A&W s, Tim Hortons, etc. Sad to see these Canadian heritages being taken over as these people when they start buying into them they assimilate them all and start cheapening up wherever possible and its never the same. Disappointing experience as was even noted by another reviewer.
Ok
Whoever the man was working the window July 24 in the afternoon was fantastic! Very fast and very friendly
MMM always delicious
Very good icecream and prices seemed lower than other locations(Squamish).
Possibly the fastest dairy Queen Ive ever been too! Same great quantity and very pleasant staff
Was amazing, food was great, and service was so so so good. They were nice and honest
Wife loved it
Unfortunately there seems to be some extreme difficulty getting a complete skip order from this location. Order in person and inspect your order at the drive thru.
Good service polite
Good speedy service
Efficient, clean and friendly
Clean place to eat. Clean friendly staff. Polite
Delivered great food and awesome attitudes towards the costumers
Good food, decent prices, quick service.
Nice personable service. The chocolate dipped cone was great,not too much chocolate like last time,good that theyve fixed that,double dipping the cones created too thick a coating and made the ice run all over. Couldnt eat it and drive,lol. Not anymore,nice!
Love their blizzards and still amazed at the proven turning the blizzards upside down to prove temperature and freshness, way to go DQ
Ordered a burger. Bun was literally dripping wet and falling apart. Really not appealing at all. This was a return visit AFTER terrible food previously. I will not be returning to this location.
I was surprised by the meal at DQ! Was excellent and very price valued!
