I love this DQ location - probably the best we've ever been to. The staff is always so friendly and fast, ownership clearly runs a tight ship (very impressive considering it's a fast food joint) - I'm pretty sure one of the owners regularly works the drive-thru alongside staff (I've also seen her training them in there, too), and the food is consistently top notch. This location is also ALWAYS involved in allowing local schools and organizations to hold fundraisers, which I LOVE. It's very clear this DQ cares about supporting the community. Our food faves include blizzards, onion rings, cheese curds, and their burgers. Yum! Everything is always so tasty and cooked well. Blizzards are always cold and turned upside down before they're handed to us, which some DQs have gotten lazy with. While we usually use their drive-thru, we have gone inside several times over the years. It's consistently clean and organized. It's very apparent there is a lot of love and care put into this location's operations. Although DQ can be a bit pricey, this particular location is always worth it and has never disappointed. read more

Basket of Fries at DQ $16+ is outrageous. Teenage son wanted fries before practice and was charged $16 for a basket of fries that look liked two x-large McDonald fries (far cheaper). Shouldn't be like that for teenage school kids. read more

It's been a long time. About 3 years according to Swarm. It was a warm day, so we decided to go for dessert to cool down. I got a Superman Cake Batter Cookie Dough Blizzard. It was one of their new ones. It was great! Tons of cookie dough, which I love. It cooled me down. We always forget that they also have hot stuff. Could have had dinner here as well. They were pretty quick with making it, even though there were a lot of people. They have big booths, and a somewhat nice view. read more

Really this is the best fast food in Poulsbo in my honest opinion. Crispy tender chicken nuggets . Nicely done fries. Yummy ice cream. It's my picky grandson's favorite. read more

I went here several times and haven't reviewed it until now. The blizzards are amazing--not too sweet, but still quite tasty--and the fries are quite good too, pairing well with the sweet blizzards! It's true what they say, they can be held upside down! The atmosphere inside is nice, light yellow walls and tiling, with warm white lights to create a light mood about the inside. It's also relatively clean, which is a plus. The cashiers are nice as well, and were very friendly. Only complaint is that the bathroom is not easy to find (at least, for me) the first time you go there. read more

Poulsbo DQ really outdid themselves in our mind. I had called on Friday to order and ice cream cake for our son's 25th birthday. I was spinning ideas of what to have written on the cake as our daughter had just been accepted to grad school. The woman who was helping me place my order said, "your daughter needs her own recognition. Let me do a mini ice cream cake for her". She also asked where she was going to attend school and I told her UPS. She immediately looked up the school colors and did the small ice cream cake in her new school colors! Our party was a huge success!! read more

Pulled up tonight at 9:48pm, one car in front of me. After a minute they pull forward so I hill up to the speaker. Sit there for three minutes, no greeting or acknowledgement from anyone and about 4 cars behind me now. At 9:52 the lights go out. I look up the hours, open until 10p. After 2 more minutes and no greeting I pull forward to the window where two girls are cleaning but pay no attention to me. I get it, workers want to close early and get home. But you are open until 10. Stay open. You missed several cars worth of business. Not just tonight but likely in the future. At the very least come in the loudspeaker and say, "sorry we closed" instead of letting people just sit there in line. read more

Pretty consistent and standard fare at the Dairy Queen. Nice variety of things to eat from burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, to all the famous Dairy Queen sweet treats. Stopped here today because I felt like something sweet, which is unusual for me. Took a lick of my dessert and tossed the rest out to the birds. Not because it wasn't good it's just because I'm not big on sweets. I much prefer salty and savory any day. My dog, Buddy, was given a puppy cone. He pretty much took a lick and then turned his nose up at it. I guess he doesn't like sweets either. Nothing against Dairy Queen. They have quick and friendly service. No complaints here. read more

Used drive up friendly timely service good food served hot drinks were flavorful love the blizzards will be back

Went to Poulsbo drive through... the team is spot on. Maybe it's the manager who is always there... (we love to get their fries) she is enthusiastic, friendly and on it. Thank you!!!! This is why we come back. read more

If you order a banana split and want whip cream on it ask when you order it (even though it shows it in the picture) because if you ask about it after it's been made not only will you get an attitude from the teenager that made it, you will also get it DOUSED in nuts. God forbid they have to walk 5 steps back over to the whip cream. I came to treat my daughter to ice cream, not to be disrespected by someone half my age. Not sure if I'll be spending any more of my money here, that was a little ridiculous. read more

Normally don't have any real complaints about this location however the last three times I've been through the drivethru the woman working the window has been rude to her coworkers the first time then short with me. She literally shoved my food into my hands without looking at me the second time and messed up my food order the third. She seems like she is a manager but doesn't act professional, didn't get the chance to ask her because of how quick she's gone from the window again. read more

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. read more

What i didnt appreciate was the display of the guardians of the galaxy volume 2, i ordered a blizzard like the sign suggested expecting my blizzard to come in a guardians of the galaxy cup as the sign said "take some of the movie home with you" and instead it came in a standard DQ cup. When i spoke to the empoyee who took my order he said "oh sorry, we're no longer carrying those kind". Then WHY is your display still up?! When told the only reason we ordered a blizzard was to get one of the movie cups, nothing was done to compensate the waste of money. Very poor customer service in this establishment, will NOT be going back read more

Dairy Queen Grill & Chill - Why have the display up if you're no longer running the promo, it confuses people. I ordered a blizzard hoping it would come in one. Nope... - Fast Food Near Me - Poulsbo, Washington

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. read more

The best kept secret for lunch on the cheap. They don't cook it till you order it and it comes out quickly. And you get a sundea with your $5.00 lunch. Daytime crew is very friendly. read more

The food is always fantastic when I come to Dairy Queen (DQ) but if I had to put the service here in one work it would be "yikes". The only reason I came to DQ was because I had gift cards that I mysteriously found and when I tried to use them the employee serving us threw his hands up in the air and angrily said "WHY DO YOU HAVE SO MANY GIFTS CARDS"?! I was surprised because I was told DQ was supposed to be the place where dreams come true in one bite. Let me tell you... this was more like a nightmare. When I first walked in I had no idea what I wanted so I moved slowly to the register because no one was in line and I still needed to make up my mind. As I was looking up at the menu the guy on the register oh so crudely said "come on" like he was waiting in line for a honey bucket eagerly waiting to pee. I got my food and it put a smile on my face until he weirdly pointed at me from afar. Never coming to THIS dq ever again. read more

The service is usually fine and I've been going here for years, but the main issues are the ice cream isn't cold enough so it melts super fast and they barely put any toppings on the blizzards. I have gone to many other Dairy Queen's that put way more topics on their blizzards than poulsbo ever has. Really sucks when it feels like you're getting skimped from what you're paying for! read more

We arrived on a hot evening at 6:30pm fully expecting it to be packed. One car in the lot. We used the drive through. Why is it they make the Ice cream first and let it sit? I guess our food wasn't ready so we were asked to drive around to the parking lot. Where we waited for a long time. Did I mention it was a hot night??? So I am trying to aim a/c vents on our ice cream, trying to prevent melting when finally Josiah came out with our food. Well by this time our sundaes were moosh. I mentioned this as he passed me the bag of food and before I could finish my sentence he had turned and walked away saying "Sorry about that." I couldn't resist and called back "No you aren't ". I now completely understand the lack of business at a time it should be busy. I hear there is new management. Too bad. I, for one, will not be back. read more

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! read more

best dairy queen around. ordered something not really on the menu. but they hit it right on. its not that hard but they got it right. a small strawberry sundae in a med drink cup...then filled to the top with strawberrys. loved it. thanks read more

First of all, I prefer to take costumer service complaints up with the manager, but, as there was no manager on site to call, and I can't find an email address for one, I suppose I'll do it here. After standing at the counter for five minutes with my family only to have the two young men behind the counter trying desperately to avoid eye contact, another customer walks into the restaurant and stands at the other end of the counter. One of the two guys behind the counter immediately goes over to take his order. I then ask the other young man standing there if we are in the wrong place to have our orders taken. He says, "yeah, you have to be at that end of the counter." My wife looks around for any sort of signage indicating that, and, seeing none, tells him that this is not obvious. He replies, "yeah, there's two tills on that end," and then disappears into the back of the store. I load the kids back into the car and go through the drive-through where were are served by a pleasant and capable young lady. I ask her if I could speak with the manager on duty and was told, "She's not here." My advice would be to stick to the drive through. You are more likely to get someone who knows what they're doing and actually cares about customer service. As for management, I think the babysitter died long ago, and the kids are running the show now and just telling everyone that she'll be back soon. read more

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. read more

Someone in management needs to tell the blonde with blue highlights not to brush her hand through her hair every minute.

Chicken strips with the gravy dipping sauce....mmmm, tastes like chicken fried chicken.

Charlie is fabulous! Went to order a cake after a terrible experience with silverdale DQ. She was professional, knowledgeable and kind. I urge everyone to use the Poulsbo DQ rather than silverdale. Thank you for your gracious customer service Charlie, much appreciated! read more

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. read more

Honestly the best fast food place in Poulsbo, and the best Dairy Queen I've ever been to. Have had a very good experience every time.

I was surprised with all the negative reviews of this Dairy Queen. On my way back home after an extended stay in Poulsbo I sat down and ate lunch and I believe this is one of the best Dairy Queen's around! Much better than any other I've eaten at in my hometown. The outside seating area was tidy and well kept. The service was great. I was greeted by a pleasant teenager who I cannot remember her name but she was wearing her brown hair in a bun. She was polite and friendly, eager to help when I couldn't decide which blizzard to get. She served it upside down as the advertisement shows. My experience was great! I will stop by here next time I visit my nephew. read more

So, I'm actually quite upset after ordering from this Dairy Queen. I'm a vegan, I do not consume any products from an animal, including dairy. I understand if you're vegan you'd probably be safer staying away from fast food, but my family stopped by there (who aren't vegan) and ordered a smoothie for me. They asked SPECIFICALLY if the triple berry smoothie had dairy in it, and we were told NO. Well, after taking multiple sips of this smoothie at home, I realized that this couldn't just be fruit. We also had to call the store because we ordered a side of fries and we never got them. While doing this, we asked if there was ANY DAIRY in the smoothie, and they said YES. I'm beyond upset at this. Not only were they forgetful of our food, but they did a horrible job at informing their customers which led to a vegan consuming dairy product. PISSED. Step up your employee game, and educate. Not only this, but the people at the front counter aren't welcoming at all. Quite rude, hardly any smiles, and I don't even think I got a hello at the register. read more
