Dairy Queen

My favorite item to buy when I come here is the Orange Julius. This location is the only one closest to me so when I am in the neighborhood I will treat myself to one. Favorite flavor is Pina Colada. maybe one day I will try their ice creams lol.

Having traveled cross-​country many years in a row, Dairy Queen has been a mainstay of small towns, highway intersections, and unadulterated flyover state communities for as long as I can remember. Telling someone that you got a blizzard in North Dakota, for example, can have strikingly different meanings depending on the calendar month. For our summer road trips, those Oreo mint blizzards are something to look forward to, after a long day on a very straight highway through the middle of nowhere.
All that to say, this suggestion of a Dairy Queen nestled in the midst of the cosmopolitan food court in the Santa Anita mall leaves a bit to be desired. It is currently smaller than it previously was before, which is saying something… It was never more than a glorified island counter in the middle of the food court proper.
The high school kid working the joint still does a reasonably good job of mixing the proper ingredients, but without being able to see a cornfield from the parking lot, or watch a feller wearing a John Deere hat go through the drive-​through on a riding mower somehow detract from the experience.
If you’ve ever enjoyed the Dairy Queen in Wall, South Dakota or Greenfield, Indiana… Well, you know what I’m talking about. Visiting a Dairy Queen is, believe it or not, less about the ice cream, and more about the Americana cultural experience. That just doesn’t happen in Arcadia. Maybe not even in Southern California.

So disappointing to look at their menu on line and drive 20 miles and come to find out they don’t offer what the menu indicates

Went here on Thursday because I got a BOGO coupon in my email for my bday.
It’s located in the food court at the Santa Anita Mall.
I go to order and of course my email is acting crazy on my phone so I cant pull up the coupon, I show the cashier my email and ask if we can honor it, and she says yes.
She was friendly, took our order, made our order, and gave it to us. BOOM boom! In and out! That’s what we’re talking about. Friendly, fast, convenient

MooLattes are the reason I wished there was a DQ in my local area. Sadly, there aren’t. ;A; I love softserve & coffee, so naturally when you combine the two, I’m in heaven. Also, the orange julius is worth a try too. My boyfriend loves it. So I’m pretty sure you can find something you’d enjoy there! Okay, so why 5 stars? It can be pricey, however, this place is still cheaper than most other options in L.A. Quick, delicious, and satisfies my cravings every time.

My boyfriend and I tried the Oreo mint blizzard and it was pretty decent. Despite the nice minty color however, we felt like you could barely taste the mint at all. This was my first blizzard and it just tasted like slightly thicker ice cream. I did enjoy the plentiful chunks of Oreo cookie on top. I was disappointed when I discovered it was only at the top. I may or may not come back again.

I posted something here but it got erased so ill put it again. The manager is discusting. He used his hand to scoop out some ice from the ice chest and served it to someone. Those who have the serve safe know thats a big NO! dont get me wrong DQ is yummy, but watch out for a iced drink

This Arcadia Dairy Queen was probably the first DQ location on the mainland that I visited. I went on a Saturday afternoon when I was hungry for a snack, but it was still way too early for dinner.
I had only been to DQ a few times prior – namely for their chocolate-​dipped soft serve when I was a kid – but not so much in recent years (there are only a few locations in Hawaii). But this location was especially memorable to me because this was where I tried my first Blizzard treat.
Here are some of the things I’ve gotten since that first memorable visit to DQ:
«Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups Blizzard»: One of my go-​tos and absolute favorites because it includes my favorite candy, this Blizzard features Milk Chocolate Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups blended with creamy vanilla soft serve. It reminds me of how I would just order plain yogurt topped with Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups from TCBY when I was a kid. Plain and simple … and generously loaded with those chopped-​up cups.
«OREO Cookies Blizzard»: This treat features creamy vanilla soft serve infused with crumbled OREO cookie pieces. When I’m in the mood for something simple and traditional, this is one of my favorite Blizzards to get. I love how it features a generous amount of crushed up OREOs, which are usually blended well throughout the dessert.
«Chocolate Xtreme»: I got this Blizzard once when I was in the mood for something extremely chocolaty and fudgy. This Blizzard cured my cravings because it was right on point with its chewy brownie pieces, choco chunks and cocoa fudge blended with creamy vanilla soft serve. This is as chocolaty as you can get as far as Blizzards go, since most of them feature a vanilla soft serve base.
«Double Fudge Cookie Dough Blizzard»: Though I haven’t tried this Blizzard yet, I’m sure I’d like it because it features chocolate chip cookie dough blended with cocoa fudge and creamy vanilla soft serve. Cookie dough has been a relatively new favorite of mine, making this Blizzard one of the top contenders on my must-​try list.
«Blizzard Made with M&Ms Milk Chocolate Candies»: I’ve ordered this Blizzard when I was in the mood for M&Ms and wanted to deviate from my traditional Reese’s order. It also brought me back to my childhood days, as the M&Ms McFlurry from McDonalds was my favorite treat. This basic Blizzard features M&M’s candy pieces blended with chocolate sauce and creamy vanilla soft serve. Great crunchiness throughout because of the candies!
«OREO Cheesecake»: This Blizzard is different from the sweet ones I usually get because it contains that distinct cheesecake flavor and less chocolate. It includes crushed OREO cookie pieces and chunks of rich cheesecake blended with creamy vanilla soft serve. I liked the lighter taste of this Blizzard, and the balanced blend reminded me of the «OREO Cheesecake» I so love from The Cheesecake Factory.
«OREO Brownie Earthquake»: I ordered this dessert only once to share with a friend, but it was definitely delicious (and messy) to eat. It features a moist chocolate brownie covered with classic vanilla soft serve, marshmallow topping, whipped topping and crushed OREO cookies on top. My friend loves whipped cream so she took care of that (I usually order my sundaes without whip), and I was pleased to discover that the marshmallow topping wasn’t overwhelming. This dessert is great for sharing if you’re already full from dinner, but if you have plenty of room for dessert … you might want not want to share this decadent delight.
«Midnight Truffle»: I love chocolate truffles, so naturally, I do want to try this Blizzard at some point. It includes rich truffle pieces blended with dark, decadent cocoa fudge and creamy vanilla soft serve. Yum! I’m hoping for lots of truffle bits to offset the creamy vanilla soft serve base.
«Georgia Mud Fudge»: I love pecans, so I can’t wait to try this Blizzard one day, as it includes chewy brownie pieces, rich cocoa fudge and pecan pieces blended with creamy vanilla soft serve. Because it sounds similar to the «Chocolate Xtreme” – which I definitely liked – I’m sure I’ll like this pecan-​studded version as well.
«Peanut Butter Bash»: As a lover of all things peanut butter, I’ll have to get this sweet treat at some point. It features creamy vanilla soft serve loaded with choco chunks, creamy peanut butter and a fudgy topping. I’ve always preferred creamy peanut butter over chunky peanut butter, and when melted over the soft serve in a semi-​liquidy form, any dessert becomes sheer perfection. This sundae features my award-​winning peanut butter-​chocolate combo, and I can’t wait to try it one day.

Strawberry Banana, 4.69
Wonder if a little expensive .
If you drink try, you can go easily.
Be nice to break time

I went to Dairy Queen for the first time yesterday. I was at the mall with my friend and I was craving ice cream. I had been wanting to try their blizzards so I decided to go check them out. Since I had never been there before I was really confused about what sizes they had, what flavors, and what were the prices. I asked the cashier if they come in different sizes and she pointed to the different size cups. She had 0 emotion on her face. I asked her what were the price differences and she again, pointed at the menu. The menu is kind of hidden, I didn’t see it at first. The worker made zero effort in explaining anything to me.
I decided to get the small strawberry cheesecake. The first couple spoonfuls were delicious but I got tired of it pretty fast. There were hardly any cheesecake pieces at the bottom of the cup. I think I paid almost $ 5 for the small, a bit pricey. I more than likely wont return.

No Spanish peanuts on the buster parfait ??? 30 plus years I have ordered this fro various DQ’s and this location us trying to tell me regular roasted peanuts is normal ?!? NOT!
Even the picture of the buster parfait shied Spanish peanuts. I hate it when people try to pass off something that us not true
Maybe trying to save a buck ?
If you are listening don’t change what this had been for years

#1 they don’t have cherry dipped ice cream
#2 they will not put sprinkles on an ice cream cone they only will give you a separate cup full of them
Total bs

They have a lot of options when you have a craving for a shake or smoothie. I’m glad we have one located in the mall; there aren’t too many DQ’s around. The menu was a bit hard to understand at first but then I found that not all variations are listed on the menu; you kind of have to go on the DQ website to know what kinds of fruits come with a Premium Fruit Smoothie or a Julius Original. I thought it was just one kind of drink. But it’s kind of pricey, like Jamba Juice pricey lol.

The mixed Chocolate and Vanilla Soft Serve on a cake cone here is so good! A better choice for a not-​so-​guilty dessert/​snack. It’s not to creamy and thick, but just perfect. I do admit, it is a lot better than the soft serve cone at McDonald’s. Sorry Ronald… I’ve found a new replacement for my soft serve fix.

Workers were very nice. The soft serve choco dipped was delish but the oreo blizzard was YUMMY!

One word: Yummy!
Dairy Queen has lip smacking shakes that are both delicious and refreshing. I ordered the Mint Oreo Blizzard, and I enjoyed every spoonful of my liquefied heaven.
I only wish that DQ had more reasonable shake sizes. My medium shake was a sad, meager half-​cup, and although delicious, I did not feel that my dessert should have costed $ 5.30. I probably won’t be ordering a Blizzard again, no matter how tempting it tastes.

Seriously my guilty pleasure. Their moolattes, that is. I haven’t had any of their fruit smoothies, chilled drinks, malts/​shakes, orange julius or blizzards. But I have YET to try ‘em! They all look so yummy in their pictures but I always seem to get my usual mocha or cappuccino moolatte. It’s basically a soft serve frozen blended coffee drink. It’s as good as it gets man. It tastes super fatty, heavy, thick and sweet but I freakin’ love it especially if I’m cravin’ it.
Located in the Santa Anita Westfield Shopping Mall in the Food Court area =) It’s near the Mongolian BBQ. You won’t miss it!
Give their moolatte a try!

GF loves Orange Julius. After she spotted a DQ at the Brea Mall, I suggested that she get one at Santa Anita Mall. Said the DQ was lost during the remodel when the food court moved. We went anyway and found it immediately. Smh gf.
Staff was nice. Blended the Orange Julius well. Much better experience than Brea Mall. Staff provided 4 samples for us to try.
Taste is the same. Read my other review for taste.

This places always serves up delicious ice cream desserts and shakes. I’ve never been disappointed by the quality here. Sometimes there’s a line, so you may have to wait 15 minutes or so.
The only warning is that if you plan to eat something by yourself and you’re in your late 20s or older you should always get the smallest size available because even a small or mini is slightly too much.
Otherwise get whatever size you want because you have the power of age on your side.

We ordered just a small cone and dipped. One staff took order and collect money. Other staff made our order and handed to us.
FAST and Yummy!!!
Nothing could compare their soft served ice cream!!!
