This is the review that you never want to write. When you’ve found the most wonderful gem of a restaurant surrounded in a sea of Chinese restaurants, hidden just slightly out of the way, where the service is exceptional and the food without fail. Interestingly, it is a Dairy Queen, which offers mostly burgers and fries. You walk in and are greeted with a smile. Return customers are remembered from past visits; but they never presume to know what you are about to order. They very patiently waited to take your order and didn’t rush, make suggestions or present themselves as anything but nice and courteous. As you wait for your order, you will notice that the restaurant is clean and presentable. The only issue thus far was getting a parking space out front because there are not many of them. This can’t be blamed on the restaurant. Your order comes out hot! Although, some orders come with ice cream, they will ask you whether you want to wait on it, so, you can enjoy your hot food first, and then they will make your cold dessert. This is appreciated, so that the ice cream doesn’t melt. When, you arrive back up to the counter to collect your dessert, THEYREMEMBERYOUANDWHATYOUWANTEDFORDESSERT!!! KUDOS! Sadly, your meal must end. People who live in the real world will bus their own trays; however, prince and princesses or Royals, as I like to call them will just leave. Those trays are quickly cleaned up and the table is prepared for the next guest. No matter what your social status, everyone is thanked for their patronage.

I came here to pick up some food for my kids today. The food here is pretty good and the service is great. The owner is super friendly and we always have a nice chat. I always get my son’s birthday cake from here and he loves it. I would like to come here more often but I find the parking situation not too good and I hate having to do a left turn back onto Kennedy Rd, to go north back home. Sometimes I’m stuck there for more than 10 minutes, waiting to turn left. Otherwise, I would come here more often because the food and service are really good at this location.

I’m loving the ‘queen. A classic like the peanut buster parfait just can’t be beat. We also tried some of their new Blizzards — the cotton candy is actually quite good(and I’m not a cotton candy guy). Kudos for having the mini sizes — they’re just right and make it so we don’t have to stuff ourselves with ice cream(especially good for kids, and those of us adults who don’t want to consume a boatload of dairy/sugar calories in a single sitting) It was a busy Sunday afternoon — probably the first hot one of the year, and our order was taken quickly and filled accurately. Lots of parking out behind the pub that lives behind the DQ, and some nice outdoor seating. Can’t complain — except that I wish I had something from DQ in front of me again as I type this.

Definitely the best dairy Queen location I’ve been to :) and I love the cotton candy flavor! The staff are pretty nice here but what sets then apart really is how clean they are. :) I have a much better experience here. Not much else to say other than great awesome ice cream!!! :)

Came here with my bff to enjoy their new Peanut Butter Rolo Blizzard. We went through the drive-thu option since we were too lazy to get out of our car after working up buckets of sweat at the gym. We shared a small and let’s just say… I will be working out more so I can have some more of this amazing blizzard. IFYOUARE A PEANUTBUTTER and CHOCOLATELOVER, YOUWILLFREAKINGLOOOOVVVEEEETHIS!!! The service was fast and friendly. Best part of this experience is that they actually do the signature DQ blizzard test of tipping your blizzard upside down and showing that it won’t plop out. =)

After a bad experience with the Markham Rd. and Hwy 7 experience(find my Unilocal review for that), I went to this location. I needed to order a custom cake for my daughter’s 1st birthday. The store was clean and looked relatively new and the staff was helpful in answering inquiries. They had a book of designs right on their counter which made it easier for me to glance through and choose a cake. The ordering process took about 5 minutes, which I appreciated. I called the store a few days later to ask if they had eggs in the strawberry cheesecake ice cream we had ordered, since selective attendees coming to the party were allergic to eggs. The staff was able to answer my question quickly. They said there were eggs in the cheesecake and that they would remove the cheesecake portion while still giving me fresh strawberries in the cake. That was very accommodating! The owner proactively told me that I could order cakes online and pay at the store. The customer service was exceptional. Thanks to this DQ for helping to make my baby’s 1st day memorable! Th e cake turned out exactly like the picture, they did an excellent job. I will definitely return to this Dairy Queen.

This place is great. It’s clean and the workers are very friendly/helpful. I’ve gotten alot of cakes from here with stupid messages and they’ve just laughed along. They also have half price cakes around December, so its perfect for those random christmas parties. Everybody loves ice cream cakes…

I’ve only been to this DQ and the one at Sheppard and Victoria Park. This DQ is a thousand times better than the one at Sheppard. I never tried the drive thru. There is always plenty of parking space at the back. Service is the best I’ve seen for a fast food restaurant. Every single time I’ve been there I was never disappointed. Burgers take longer to make so they tell you to sit down and they bring the food to you when it’s ready. The burgers are always juicy and tasty. The dairy snacks are made with perfection. The place is spotless clean. I tried the Buster bars, fudge bars and a cake and they were all excellent quality. There is not a single thing I don’t like about this DQ. Go see for yourself!

People are crazy for not going here more. I go pretty regularly during lunch and smash their chicken fingers. They are awesome. DQ is so much more than just ice cream. The burgers are good too. I’ve been to other DQ’s but this one is the cleanest place ever. The employees are super nice, fast and half the time have me sit down and then they bring me my food. Underated in the fast food world for sure.

Delicious ice cream cakes! Must try. You can get a nice 9 inch cake for about $ 25. one layer of vanilla ice cream, one layer of chocolate ice cream and a nice cookie crust. Tasty! They also have great blizzards, sugar free chocolate popsicles, and just as awesome vanilla cones with the signature tip. Bonus: great service, drive thru option Opens 11 am — 11 pm daily.
