Dairy Queen

Had the Grilled Chicken Bacon Ranch 500 cal. which came on ciabatta bun. About the same size as Sonics chicken sandwich 450 cal, but much tastier and more satisfying. While the bun was a bit chewy the use of strips of grilled chicken were much better tasting and not overly moist. The Bacon Ranch dressing also gave it a more distinctive flavor. They also have salads. I would also say if you want relaxed sitting outdoor or indoor it can’t be beat. You will also find the menu much simpler than Sonic. If you want an unique experience or lots of options checkout Sonic.

When two adults spend $ 12 on two burgers a large fry and large onion ring you expect that you will come away with more than appetizer portions. Five freaking rings are you kidding me? And they set the dilly bar on the counter for five minutes while making the meal. RiDQulous. Will never ever go there again!

This is my favorite DQ ever! Why anyone would give it less stars is beyond me, you go almost anywhere else and don’t get the quality or good customer service.

This review is mainly for the service, since at chain restaurants you usually know what you’re going to get no matter where you go (usually). We went here for some lunch and got some Blizzards as well. When in line they had some cups on display that said Orange Julius one side and Blizzard on the other and were marked as small, medium, and large. I had a suspicion that the one marked large was only for Orange Julius’ as it seemed too large for Blizzards – but I asked the cashier, «are these the same sizes for Blizzards?» She said yes. Surprised, I ordered a large Blizzard for my wife and I to share. What came back to us was the size marked medium on the display. When I went up there to ask about it she said that the large Blizzard was actually the medium orange julius. I then noticed that the largest cup didn’t actually say Blizzard, only the other two. But still, since she had told me specifically when I asked about the sizes for Blizzards that they were the same as the ones I pointed to on the display, something should be done. I even talked to the owner and she was rude about it, not caring at all about customer service.

I think most DQs would get an A-​OK (3 star) rating in my book. This one was below average. I say that based on the following:
— No wait /​no line /​no abundance of customers.
— Over-​abundance of employees meandering around with nothing better to do.
— Blizzard made in a hurry and not thoroughly mixed. I ordered a mint oreo blizzard and what I received had very distinct white parts of plain vanilla and still visible green gel that hadn’t been mixed in.
— Blizzard set down on the counter in a hurry so the employee could move on to doing something else. The employee didn’t do the traditional DQ hold-​the-​blizzard-​upside-​down as they hand it to you. Actually, that may be a good thing — some of the unmixed green gel stuff would’ve fallen out.

Hot eats and cool treats. That’s what Dairy Queen is all about, and they do it well.
The Poulsbo Dairy Queen is the target of many groups for desert after band and choir concerts and also gets slammed after performances in the Poulsbo Community Auditorium. I have many fond memories of visiting this place as a child, both during the aforementioned times and for casual dinners, and I’ve never had any serious complaints about the place.
The only reason I gave the Poulsbo Dairy Queen a 4 star as opposed to a 5 star is because on occasion, the customer service I receive is not really up to par. Smiles, positive attitudes, and general courteousness are sometimes lost in the whirlwind of food and desert orders. To a certain extent, that may be understandable, but it happens just a tad too often here for my liking.
Don’t get me wrong, I do like the food at Dairy Queen, but I don’t think the burgers, fries and chicken products are on the same level of quality as the local McDonalds or Burger King. Dairy Queen prides itself on it’s desert items, and as such, the desert is really what shines here, and more often than not it’s the main reason people decide to come.
So the food is nice, but the deserts are beyond yummy. An excellent desert choice, especially if you’re still feeling a little bit hungry from before!
