Whenever I am close to my favorite soft serve spot, the car must stop. I was having trouble ordering through the app and the drive-thru person showed us the step we were missing so we could complete our order (app based ordering and the restaurant are on different platforms). I ordered my usual, a large dipped cone and resumed the rest of my day as a happy camper. Thank you, DQ! read more

Dairy Queen Grill & Chill - Fast Food Near Me - Orangevale, California

Today, I went to the DQ for a medium chocolate cone, which was listed as $3.99. No problem, so I order one. To my surprise, I was quoted a total of $4.80something. I said to the gal taking the order "No, not a large, a medium, which is $4.59" She said there was a 59 cents Service Charge. I said I was paying cash, as I was holding the bills in front of her. She replied that "they changed the policy, and they now charge 59 cents Service Charge for card and cash. I said 'forget it" and walked away. Really??? A Service Charge on top of the posted price for CASH??? NO THANKS. I will spend my dollars elsewhere. read more

This DQ is a convenient location, lots of parking, easy to get in and out. They have lots of outdoor seating for warm summer nights. The inside tables are cramped and sticky, so I would rec sitting outside. The employees here are always friendly and the service is fast. I've lived in the area for a long time so I've been here over the years. My last two visits were less than great and I probably won't be back now. I got us two ice creams to go - two peanut buster parfaits - our usual. The amount came to $19.00. Without tip. I was shocked!! The sundaes were also smaller than they used to be, and with less ice cream and fudge. It was MUCH smaller than before. I cannot definitely pay almost $20 for two ice creams to go. The last visit we had the bbq chicken tenders and they were super gooey and not really good. read more

I AM SO ANGRY. With the economy these days this just hit me wrong. Took my grandkids for lunch. Was going to pay with card but they charge a service fee. So I said no I will pay cash. He said there is a service fee on cash too. I asked how can they charge us to use cash. He said that the fee is to cover the employees sick leave. REALLY that it not our responsibility. It is DQ's responsibility. How can that even be legal?? read more

I had not been to a Dairy Queen in years, just wanted to see what it was like. Although my burger seemed fresh, it just didn't have any flavor, but that is typical of most fast food places. My fries were lukewarm and my chocolate shake was just chocolate syrup added to frozen ice milk. My total was $15.38!! I could live with all of that but what I really didn't like... was the hidden .49 cent "service fee" that gets added to your total no matter if you're paying with cash or card. When I asked what the charge was for, the gal said she wasn't sure, that it was just an extra fee. I don't like sneaky businesses. I'll never do Dairy Queen again! read more

Ambiance: Dirty and sticky tables inside and let's not discuss the bathroom. I am surprise they didn't charge me a fee for the bathroom. Service: Typical entitled teenagers who don't know customer service or even to say hello or thank you. Either bad hires or bad management. Food: This is the ONLY DQ, that I have seen, where they charge you $1.40 for a teaspoon of nuts, minimal whip cream, and a small container fee. And the Banana split tray is not the same one used at other DQs. It's a lot smaller. People- do yourself a favor and drive past this DQ. I rather drive 7 miles out of my way to go to the other one than give up his place any business. read more

11% service fee on a vanilla ice cream cone. It's not the money, it's the feeling looking down and seeing an extra charge for such a small item. Really? If my bill is for my family eating, or a meal, I understand but on every single item like a soda or cone? Your management is out of touch of what consumers are doing these days. $.49 service fee should be taken off in my opinion. I understand your employees need money so just pay them more and up the charge of the cone. This way, your customer's can choose where they shop, Handels or DQ for example. I don't know if this fast food chain falls under a California's minimum wage law, but if it does I'm hoping that would help either way. I just don't think it's fair to charge me 49 cents on a $4 cone. read more

Like stepping into a time machine--in the best way possible. I felt like one of the kids from Footloose discovering the magic of a Dairy Queen. This place has serious retro charm. We sat outside (though they do have indoor seating) on benches under umbrellas, enjoying cheeseburgers and milkshakes like it was 1985--and I loved every second of it. The cheeseburgers were incredible--hot, fresh, and with perfectly melted cheese. The fries were spot on, and the sundae? Absolute perfection. I used to think of DQ as a place to occasionally grab a cone, but this time the whole family came for a meal. We got some fresh air, watched the cars go by, and just enjoyed a moment together. It felt like time slowed down for a bit. Highly recommend for anyone craving a little nostalgia and a great bite to eat. read more

Growing up, the little burger and milkshake place near my house was called,"Dairy Belle" Fast forward to adulthood and being the parent of two teenagers- they roast me every time I accidentally call Dairy Queen, Dairy Belle. No matter what we call it- we love coming here to grab a quick burger or milkshake. $6 blizzards are the perfect size! The smells are amazing when you drive by that you just can't help but want to stop. They even have ice if you are passing by on your way to the lake. Always some kind of discount special available. read more

The food and speed is fine, but the employees are all so rude and don't make an effort to be nice to you. No smiles, just look like they're annoyed to have to speak to you. read more

One of your nicer locations. They get quite a bit of business. Has been here for years. Nice and clean. Attentive. Friendly service. Lots of parking. Can order inside or outside. Limited seating inside and outside. Lots of menu choices! read more

My favorite DQ because it feels like it's got that small town pull up feel. Even the food tastes different, better. Friendly staff and if you're lucky you may meet a cat in the parking lot. Cool car shows happen here on occasion as well. read more

As the days get warmer, it's nice to have a spot for some ice cream. This location has very friendly staff. Today was their Free Cone Day. A they had a special like for the Free Cones, which helped the line move very quickly. If it's not free cone day, it's still great to stop by for their blizzards. read more

Absolutely amazing service! I went in just about a week ago and was warmly greeted by the cashier. I had a burger and fries which was pretty good. And a young man Ryan had a nice conversation with me while he was cleaning the dining room. Overall a great spot, and would come back anytime. I would come back everyday but I wouldn't fit through the door if I did lol read more

this made me so upset. disgusting!!! I flipped my Sunday over before opening and when I scooped some up, there was a nasty pubic looking hair in the ice cream. The cashier was acting shocked, but you're telling me you did not see a hair in the bottom of the cup before you plopped ice cream down on it? I have never been inside but seeing other reviews it seems very unsanitary ): read more

It was great I loved the food and the service was amazing! Thank you so much!!! I loved the experience

Without looking at the menu, I ordered a large chocolate malt .... and the bill was over $11.00 (inc tx). That's WAY TOO EXPENSIVE, and it's the last time I'll buy one. Two stars as it tasted good ... not great, just good. At that cost, it's worth it to me to make my own. read more

Wet to get a Sunday and banana split today. I wanted to make sure I got nuts and whipped cream, so I asked for it. I was told it's extra for that....ok I said.....I was charged $1.39 for a sprinkle of nuts and $1.39 for a squirt of whipped cream. Absolutely ridiculous!. Cost was $19.02 for Sunday and split. I understand costs are up but 1.39 for almost nothing. $.50 cents would have been a better charge. read more

The ingredients are always fresh! Crispy lettuce and the tomato is just right. Fast and accurate service. I love the patio lights at night.

My family literally just left Dairy Queen and not sure we will be back. This has been our go to place to talk. To just sit and enjoy the time my family has together. But today, as we were eating ice cream, a guy and his girlfriend came in and the staff must have recognized him. The amount of F words thrown around between the customer and staff was appalling. And not only that my son was listening to the conversation and I had to remind my son that is not how we communicate to others. The staff needs to be reminded it's a family atmosphere and never to let their guard down and cease to be professional. I am sad and disappointed in the store. Not sure we will be back when staff did not ask the guy to watch his words or excuse him from the restaurant. read more

Stopped by for a treat with my husband and granddaughter about a month ago. Been a while since we had come by this location. Service was fast and treats were yummy. Nice portion sizes for adults and prices. My only wish was that they offer kids size and price on their specialty cones. It was too bit much for a toddler. But she loved it. They offer some indoor seating and good amount of outdoor seating on the side patio but no shade covering and in front of the restaurant where there is a canopy. Bathrooms are available inside by dining room. We came by on a Sunday and they had a car show going on. We walked around after eating our treat. My granddaughter loved the cars and trucks. read more

Came here with my family for chocolate dipped ice cream cones and was shocked how fast and efficient the service was. There was about 10 people ahead of us and we only waited about 4 minutes. I ordered a pretzel stick with sauce as well. It was super soft and had the right amount of salt on it. The girl who helped us was super sweet! We will definitely be back! read more

This is an amazing Dairy Queen but the ice cream is always melted and melts so fast. The drive home is about 4 minutes and by the time we get home it has dripped everywhere and melts through the cones. We order and receive our ice cream fairly quickly and it's melted. Happens every time. I worked at a Dairy Queen and this is not normal. read more

This deserves an updated review! A couple weeks ago my boyfriend and I stopped by to get some dessert to celebrate our 1 year anniversary. It had been a minute since I've been to DQ and I must say I'm impressed, first off their Blizzard menu definitely expanded, I wanted to try them all and my boyfriend and I just loved their nice lit-up outside seating area! I ordered their Royal Rocky Road Trip DQ Blizzard® Treat. It's definitely one of my top favorite ice cream flavors swirled with bits of drool-worthy brownies, peanuts, rich decadent cocoa fudge and filled with thick creamy marshmallow, can it get any better than this moment!? Drooling yet!? I thought so, order yourself one and thank me later for that foodgasm! I would HIGHLY recommend this location and we will definitely be back to work our way through their menu, especially in this heat, support your local DQ! read more

I am so super happy - and proud of our Orangevale location. "" DO NOT EVER GO TO THE HOOD GHETO Syphilis Heights AKA Citrus Heights Location.! This location has a great team of people working for them.! Clean- fast and if you have an issue with your order, the oblige to correct it.! They don't have nasty attitudes, poor work ethic and the staff are actually educated and well mannered at this location, unlike their counterpart Citrus Heights who hire smart mouth stoner junkies!! , The location is great for meetups, car clubs and safe area for after school meets and convenient to other shops and sights of OV. And Folsom. Again the customer service is unreal and will not disappoint!! The food is so so, but that's expected for Fast food, love the blizzards and they make them as expected a requested by the customer and don't argue with you.! Call you names and make it your way! I'm very happy with this location, and will not do business anywhere else. read more

They served me an ice cold Hotdog. The burger tasted like straight up crap. When I took the Hotdog back and asked for a new one I got some microwaved bun and microwaved dog that was inedible. After 2 bites of each I just got up and left, walked out and left the mess there for them to clean up. Waste of 15 dollars......imagine wanting a Mustard dog due to craving and getting shit. Fuck this place read more
