This is just another franchise of Dairy Queen but there is something wrong at this one. Their freezers don’t seem to work. I have tried once per year to give them the chance at redeeming themselves but I refuse to buy ice cream here. The ice cream WILL NOT make it home if you go through the drive-thru. Any ice cream product coming from the machine turns to a runny mess within five minutes. The last time I tried was a week ago, it was barely 10 degrees outside and it was basically creamy cold soup when I got home. Worst Dairy Queen ever if you can’t put the ICE in the ICE cream. The service and restaurant are as they should be.

I buy food from this store first while travelling to whistler. I think it is my best choice to choose this . Because the food is awesome and the specially the staff of this dq is so polite. I highly recommend to give a chance to just taste the blizzards and onion rings.

October 22, 2024

The service here is painfully slow. Each time I've been here, there have never been any other customers or anybody in the drive thru and yet my food takes 15 minutes to come out. They serve icecreams with the kids meals and they give them to you first so they're totally melted by the time the food even comes out. It makes no sense to me. The staff here do not seem happy, I've never once been greeted with a smile. Today we waited so long for our food that I had to rush out the door when it finally came only to find they forgot to give us items. The positive is it's always clean.

★★★

Ice cream is always half melted the second you get it it’s literally soup lol. A lot of dining tables. Drive through is very slow. I do love the location and the patio. Over all it could be better.

August 22, 2024

Drive thru is incredibly slow and they got my order wrong. Asked for a refund and they damn near fought me to not give it. Will never go there again.

The store is new and clean , but the taste wasn’t right , they didn’t warm up the brownie , there was weird taste coming from the blizzards, But staff was really nice and co-operative , ashish and all other team members were really nice .

Ice-cream always seems not to be very thick. Have had 2 blizzards from this location and they've been runny. Service has always been great though and it's a clean establishment.

Numerous tables inside and some larg bench and table in a patio with nice view of the mountain. Free decent packing spots and drive thru as well. Everything about dessert were good except I believe they were a bit slow and when you are with kids, that's important.

Terrible experience, I wont be back. I asked for a large strawberry sundae, but to please only put a little bit of ice cream in it and lots of strawberries. I stated that I was willing to pay extra, as I have been charged extra for the extra strawberries at some DQs in the past. When my sundae arrived, the amount of strawberries was pathetic! When I asked why there was such a small amount of strawberries, I was replied to in broken English so bad I couldnt understand them. Every other DQ Ive visited in the last couple of decades has always accommodated me in this request, and few have ever even charged me the extra amount that I offered. So, thanks to this absolutely unacceptable service, I will never again go to this DQ location. The people running it are so cheap. The head office of DQ should investigate this location and consider removing their franchise!

This was a frustrating visit. The gentleman at the order screen just now kept dismissing what I said saying yeah yeah I got it I clarified everything on the order several times because of it and his last comment was him getting frustrated. If he had just said my order back to me it would have been fine. In the end they missed some of the toppings. However, the person in our group with a tomato allergy did not get tomato and it was marked!The burgers were dry, missing the cheese. For the price DQ charges, it better be made right or there is no way I am going back.

Drive thru took what felt like an eternity to get our order out to us. Triple Flamethrower burger came out smaller than expected.

Went through the DT today at around 3pm to grab lunch for me and a coworker. It was SUPER dead inside I was the only one in the DT. I placed my order and got 2 burger combos 1 being totally plain with 2 drinks no ice. I got to the window it took them 10 or so min JUST for me to pay! They gave me 1 drink and told them it was supposed to be no ice. When I got to work I noticed both burgers where fully loaded when I had specifically asked for 1 to be plain. Either they have to fix their speaker or actually pay attention.

Poor customer service! I ordered a brownie Blizzard cake. Recieved the cake but did not realize until I got home that it was made incorrectly (no brownies on it) called right away. Told that only a supervisor could help and that they would call me back. Never called. Had to keep a cake we didnt want. Dont order specialty cakes they take it upon themselves to change the standard recipe!!!

My experience at Dairy Queen in Squamish today, was bad. I ordered a banana split with pecans and extra hot fudge. I paid extra $2 for it. I am not joking...they put 4 pecans and a little bit of fudge (coffee spoon size). I asked for more and the server tried to convence me, it was the right portion. Very bad!

Tried to order a simple strawberry banana blizzard but was told its not on the menu.... Ive been ordering this blizzard from DQs all over north america. Maybe they didnt have bananas? But a banana split was on the menu... this blizzard is literally a scoop or two of the strawberry topping and a banana thrown in the blizzard. Not difficult. When we asked if they could just make it, as suggested above, they ignored us until we ordered something else. HORRIBLE customer service!! We definitely didnt finish ordering and just left.
