Dairy Queen

Read what is being said about the Blizzard treats you make, oh maple valley DQ. I enjoy your HOT eats, but your cool treats need MUCH work my friends. I ordered a snicker blizzard 3 days ago, and it was less than if I grinded up a small «fun bite» sized candy and put it in my own ice cream.
Employees, this isn’t your dream job I’m sure… why don’t you load them up? Management, stop being douche-​bags because the most expensive product you purchase is candy/​cookie toppings, and telling your peons to be shiest.
You could cut back on soda syrup (you guys use WAY too much) and instead hook up the blizzards a little fatter. I’m in the MMJ industry, and your blizzards are what we would call «skimping the customer».
word. get it right DQ, so I can once more enjoy a COOL treat that doesn’t suck.

We went through the drive thru this evening (Oct 18) around 5:40 pm and ordered two crispy chicken sandwich meals. We got home and the chicken was ROCK HARD and completely inedible. There were huge chunks of lettuce and no mayonnaise. We normally have great food there if we go around 3:00 pm, but I assumed that peak dinner hours would be just as good, if not BETTER. Very disappointed.

Dairy Queen has totally re-​branded itself and I love it. Now, I think ALL of the Dairy Queens serve food, as well as ice cream, and their new half pound burger is totally awesome, and it totally hit me by surprise because my burger of choice since I was in High School (class of 83) has been the double whopper with cheese, until NOW. Their burgers at DQ are flame broiled same as Burger King, but they have bigger and better meat patties, and the toppings are identical to the whopper (I like mine without pickles, but will tolerate if I have to, but the pickles can be picked off, but there’s still the flavor in there that, as I said, I can tolerate, but it’s much better for me without.)
Anyway, this is not the ONLY Dairy Queen I have been to, and they all seem to be popping out this excellent new menu Burger that has finally topped the best «Fast Food Chain» burger out there on my list. Something else they have is REAL ONION RINGS, not that crap that BK gives you that look and taste like regurgitated onions in them, that are nasty, DQ gives these huge, 100% real onion rings and they don’t cook them and leave them out for hours waiting for someone to buy them as they spoil under a heat lamp, you get fresh, hot, right out of the deep fryer Onion Rings, and they are also a super great compliment to the Burger, and then this DQ uses Pepsi Products, and I am a COKE guy, but that’s ok, they have Mt. Dew which is my number 2 drink and sometimes I prefer it over Coke. Don’t be shocked if you go to one DQ and they have COKE there, as I was in one near Auburn are and it had only Coke products, but the same sandwich there was as good as any of at least 5 other DQ’s I have been to traveling over to Yakima and through Cle Elum, and they were awesome there too.
My wife loves their healthier artisan sandwiches which are also very tasty, and she gets their Blizzards all the time there, the Heath Blizzard, and they are perfect, all the way through, not sure what some people are saying, but DQ is the place I look for now when I am traveling or if I just get a craving for a quick meal, I just know their new burger is perfect and I LOVE IT.
So, I gave them 5 stars because I think they are really making an effort to improve their brand, and when they have messed up and put pickles on my burger, like they did today, and I usually eat at home, so I don’t want to get in the car and come back so I called and the Manager took care of me, Austin I think his name was, and he said the next time I come in I can get another Burger on them (without pickles) so he satisfied me and treated me as a customer, and that’s why I will keep going back, to whatever DQ I can find nearby when I am hungry, and eat my favorite burger and onion rings and Mt. Dew, it’s just awesome. I know they say fast food is bad for you, but in moderation, it can’t be beat, and they do have the new Artisan sandwiches which are more healthy if that’s your kick.
Keep up the great work DQ, I see more cars at your drive-thru’s now than ever before. Whoever thought up the new look and menu should get a raise. Excellent all around so thank you for not giving up, and closing like BK seems to be doing. Awesome place, and will go there time and again, just please don’t change that sandwich, it’s the bomb.

Most depressed looking behind the counter crew I have ever seen. Definitely a downer going in to order.
Food was ok, service was ok and what can be expected for fast food.
I actually felt sympathetic for these kids working here. Hopefully adulthood will turn things around for them.

They are very hit and miss but mostly a miss. The only thing I really order are Blizzards and I’ve found they really skimp on the toppings. They don’t mix them well either and the bottom ¹⁄₃ is just ice cream. Today I paid extra money or extra Oreo topping and it looked like I didn’t even get the minimum amount. So annoying when you pay $ 5 for a treat. I wish the employees had some extra training and paid attention to making a good product

This is the absolute worst Dairy Queen I have ever been to. I have been to this DQ multiple times over nearly a decade and every time I come home angry and disappointed. The staff is ALWAYS rude. They have no assigned tasks. For an order of 3 blizzards, there were 5 different employees starting and abandoning the task because there is no order. They’re obviously not trained well enough to make things up-​to-​par, either. I am usually very passive when it comes to my food. If there is a small mistake, I let it slide out of understanding of human error. But these mistakes happen over and over and over and over. This is not human error. This is a reflection of bad management and training. I can guarantee, I am never going to this DQ again. I will go to Auburn if I am desperate for a blizzard. I cannot even express how bad this DQ is.

Worst blizzard makers I’ve ever seen. I don’t think they even train them how to make blizzards. Each time I’ve gotten one from this DQ, there is nothing in the bottom half of cup except for vanilla ice cream. If they are training the employees, they’re training them to skimp on ingredients and make it as quickly and crapily as possible. On the one time I took my blizzard back up to the counter and asked to have more ingredients added, I was scoffed at and treated very rudely. (I NEVER in my life have taken food back up to the counter… this was BAD. Maybe 4 – 5 total chunks of cookie dough in the whole medium sized blizzard)
I’m sure the rest of their food is decent but I just go for the blizzards.

DQ is ghetto yet awesome.
