We stopped in for a quick ice cream treat after a dance recital nearby. It was busy because we weren't the only dance family with that idea, but the employees were working SO hard to manage the big line with groups of people along with the drive-through. I think there may have only been 2-3 employees and I really appreciated them! They had good attitudes and were getting things made as quickly as they could. Only mistake made was we got a diet soda instead of a regular, but it didn't go to waste. It's a very small location with a tiny parking lot and only a few seats, but the ice cream was just what I'd hoped for. Pro tip: don't sleep on a caramel sundae. It's hot caramel and it's amazing with vanilla ice cream! read more

The service was fine and they were nice but definitely forget things very easily. The food is fine just Dairy Queen everyone knows. We asked for a small Reese's blizzard and got a mini, so I went and asked for the small we paid for, and then we got a small but are confused because it taste like cookie dough and the peanut butter from the Reese's. read more

The weekly deals did not work. I had ordered at the drive thru and then my app wouldn't scan. They mentioned how this was a problem but did not offer an alternative. i was bummed that nothing was done to correct the mistake on the apps end. The worker was nice but the manager did not seem to care at all. read more

SECRET MENU MUST HAVE!! - order the Peanut Butter Bash! (Chocolate and PB sauce on vanilla ice cream with chocolate chips). I don't believe it's usually listed on their menu, but it's a must get! Drive through service is always so quick, and the kids that work there are always super nice. Our go to Dairy Queen in the area! read more

Very crowded, no lines, no signs, very rude, take so long for my order, I can't wait for it due to time issues

A friend and I decided ice cream was in order on a warm Sunday afternoon and Dairy Queen was our final destination. We walked over to find a busy drive-thru but only two folks waiting for ice cream in front of us. Score! We placed our order, two reece's cup blizzards and two small cups for the doggies, and waited... Then, the entire neighborhood of Clintonville decided to show up too! This is typically fine but in the days of social distancing, it made me a little anxious. We had to wait quite a while and actually saw our treats sitting at the counter waiting to be handed to us for a hot second. I slowly made my way up to the counter (literally weaving through other patrons), and was given our cold treats with a smile. Our order was correct, tasty, and given the circumstances, the wait wasn't too bad and the service was friendly. Having extra grace for service workers these days is necessary. They're doing their very best and it was evident here. read more

I love ice cream and sometimes visit this DQ after dinner out with friends when we want some dessert, but don't want a restaurant dessert, if that makes sense? It's not the fastest place for a cone, probably because there's only one window in the drive through, and the parking lot is TINY, so the drive through line spills over into the street. I got 2 loaded twist cones for just under $5, like really tall, which was nice, and off we went, into the sunset with our dessert! read more

As an OSU grad, this was my local Dairy Queen and I'm glad it's still here in the neighborhood now that I live in the area again. I'm glad there is some outdoor seating, it's nice and convenient off indianola. read more

Don't go to this location if you want to make a quick stop for ice cream. Half of the time there's only one worker and will take 20 mins on one blizzard. read more

I've passed this a hundred times, and never stopped in. Yesterday Baby K wanted a milkshake, and this was handy. It's an old-school DQ, no dine-in. The drive-through was backed up onto the street, so not wanting to block traffic we parked in one of the few open spots out back. Walked up, good social distancing by staff and customers. Got our shakes quickly. Friendly and fast service. Reasonable prices. I got my old favorite, a chocolate malt, both for nostalgia reasons and to show Baby K what it tasted like (we had malted milk balls the other day and she was full of questions.) Good stuff, and brought back memories of old-time ice cream stands. This place is always busy, and there are good reasons. read more

This is a pretty good Dairy Queen. The drive-thru line wasn't too long when we arrived, but man did it get long right after we arrived. Make sure to plan ahead if you are going to do drive-thru on a weekend. Everyone we interacted with was pleasant and friendly. I asked the Oreo dirt pie blizzard, but instead of gummy worms I wanted cookie dough bits. They delivered and I was not disappointed :) They mixed the blizzard really well and absolutely loaded it up with goodies. This DQ gets my stamp of approval! read more

Only will eat at Dairy Queen for ice cream products. Wouldn't trust the food menu. Lady in front of me ordered $100 of food so I won't be too critical of the wait. Great banana split, blizzard good. Only knock is the location. Short, awkward drive thru is difficult to navigate. Exit turning left not friendly. Really like the walk up window in summer. Get to rub shoulders with the locals. read more

We visited a few days ago and were shocked at the lack of proper mask wearing. Requested to speak to manager and she too did not have a mask on properly. We asked for our refund as we did not want the products they were serving. Not safe. Careless. read more

No one has reviewed DQ yet? Pssssh. Soft serve, I love you. This is my friendly neighborhood DQ, and sometimes, even though Jeni's is definitely my favourite ice cream, one just craves a chocolate/vanilla soft serve cone, what can I say? The boy and I come here fairly regularly for a small treat - and we always sit on the bench and eat our cones and get honked at by friends driving by on Indianola. (Another reason that Clintonville rules). Last time we were here, the owner of O'Reilly's was there with her grandkids and was like, "WTF guys, that's not beer!" HA. DQ in our hood isn't so much a chain (even though it obviously is) as it is a community meeting spot. I pretty much only get soft serve cones here, but yes I have tried the chili cheese dog and yes it is amazing (and worthy of several heart attacks). DQ is so freakin' American. What can you do? It's a little slice of sweet nostalgia, a true John Mellencamp song, the Midwest incarnate. I recommend coming here if you're feeling more low key than the (wonderful) culinary adventure that Jeni's is, or if you live in our hood and want to see what your neighbors are up to. Or if you, like me, really like soft serve. Whut! read more

Made a yelp account just to leave this review. Anyway. Just ate there and my god, probably the best Dairy Queen I've ever ate at! Keep up the good work. Everything was fresh, very appealing, friendly staff, and super quick! I definitely recommend! read more

Best DQ I have ever been to! The ice cream is so dreamy creamy. The sprinkles are pure Technicolor. Blizzards! So many crunchy yummy combos. I always am a classic hoe and get that cookies n cream. Ever get them chicken fingers? Damn. They got gray-vee and stuff on them. It's sometimes open late too! Like when you wanna get yo dairy on. read more

I'm within walking distance of this fine establishment so I've plenty of time to sample the wares. They have awesome soft serve and no matter how much I love Jeni's and Graeter's - there is no substituting soft serve. For the most part, this DQ gets the mix right - I have been there where there is a bit too much air in it, which gives it a distinctly marshmallow consistency. The service is hit or miss, but I'm not asking for much. There has been the occasional time where I will wait at the window for 5 or 10 minutes while the one person working is dealing with the drive through and hasn't noticed me. And I swear they have a 12-year-old girl working there. But this place is exactly whey I am looking for on a hot Summer day or even a cold, boring Winter evening. I'll keep going back. read more

In keeping with my current posts why not post ANOTHER ice cream review. I have hardly eaten ice cream over the past few years but the past few weeks that has changed.....A LOT! and in me eating more ice cream I have been craving more ice cream so I called (texted) my friend (and neighbor) and told her I was kidnapping her and her French Bulldog and we were going to Dairy Queen no questions asked, she didn't seem to mind too much. So we took a nice walk to DQ and stood in line. As Melanie pointed out this isn't so much a chain as a local gathering spot, not that I knew anyone but everyone around was incredibly friendly and my friend and I chatted it up with fellow dog lovers and owners. After the long line dwindled down and we ordered our blizzards and a small cone for the dog (funniest thing ever btw! get your dog ice cream you will not regret watching him/her eat it) we sat on a bench and enjoyed a nice evening. If somehow you don't know how amazing blizzards are I'll explain it as scientifically and mathematically as possible. (Soft server ice cream + topping mixed in) x cup = always good. Yes that is proper math, I double check my work. read more

I came here for a milkshake when I was sick and feeling down. Then I got a bit addicted. When I saw the two-for-one Blizzards sign, I dragged a friend back. I mean, it's just Dairy Queen. It's not special, it's not healthy, god knows where their food comes from. But, I do have some advice for blizzard-eaters: do not get M&Ms in your blizzard, they are too hard when they're so cold. Do get the specialty chocolate mania blizzards, if you are into chocolate. BAM. Chocolate in your face! read more

This is my favorite neighborhood joint. I am a Senior citizen, retired school teacher. All kinds of weather, every week, for the past 2 years I walk my little dog to my DQ. It is always a highlight for both of us until this week. They had made a mistake on my blizzard order, when I got home and excitedly opened my lid I found it was not right and I could not eat it. I was so disappointed but it iwas a cold long walk back so I decided to just let them know next visit being positive they would make it right. Well, the man behind the counter( in his 40's) was not only rude to me but refused to make my 3 dollar Blizzard right. Basicially calling me a liar! I am a nice polite old lady. I was astounded! I was shocked! This is no way to treat a local Senior citizen who is a great customer. Will never go back. My feelings were hurt. I loved this place. read more

This DQ is exactly what I expect it to be. Over my many trips here, I've not had a bad/spoiled item, although I've received a few Blizzards with less-than-desirable amounts of "stuff" in them, but that's a rare occurrence in the longrun. The ice cream is of satisfactory quality, and the staff is always quite friendly. I really enjoy sitting outside after using the walk-up window. If you're using the drive thru, it can be troublesome. There's pretty much no room for more than 4 or 5 cars in line, so if it's busy, good luck. However, there are plenty of parking spots, so if the line is long, you can just park. If you drive, it can be difficult making a left turn out. Overall, this is a place worth visiting because the price is low. It's DQ, not Jeni's. Expectations are everything. read more

a great DQ, Ty & Addy really made our night with their service. good food & one of the best experiences we've had at a DQ. u know what the terminator says read more

I've been waiting in line at this DQ for 10 minutes and haven't moved up one car yet... Not a good sign

Every time I come here I always request honey mustard instead of gravy in my chicken basket. Today I went there and said TWICE while ordering to give me honey mustard. When I get to the window I say another time, "you gave me honey mustard instead of gravy right?" The guy says "yes it should be in the box." This is the second time they have lied to me like it's so much easier to say "sorry I forgot, here you go" instead of wasting my time having to drive back and wasting product. This was the second time they've lied about it and EVERYTIME I come they forget it and I have to either drive back or check my bag. Ridiculous. Never had this problem at any other locations. read more

This DQ is within walking distance of my house, so of course we're regulars. Everything is tasty and well done, but they often add too much stuff to the blizzards. There is one guy who always works the drive thru who is fantastic (always friendly, always professional, and always gets the order correct). Otherwise, it's the usual fast food lineup of teenagers. Bottom line: I'd recommend this DQ. read more

This DQ is adorable, but unlike most locations does not provide charbroiled burgers, and while certainly not the end of the world, they don't always make the chocolate chip cookie dough blizzard correctly (vanilla and cookie dough only without browning the ice cream). read more

I once saw a giant Praying Mantis eating ice cream here, other than that its more or less like any other well run DQ.

Had the BBQ Chicken Sandwich. Could have been better. It sure wasn't large enough for how much it cost. A mcdouble from McDonalds weighs more than this thing. The reason why I gave it 2 stars is because of the location. It's in a neighborhood which I like. read more

The slowest "fast" food place I have ever been to in my life. Multiple times I've spent around 10+ minutes waiting in the drive thru. Will definitely be finding somewhere else to go from now on. read more

Unfortunately this is the only DQ close to Ohio state's campus. Always has terrible service. Takes forever to get sloppy ice cream rolling down the side of the cone. Went there for birthday BOGO and they said they aren't taking them today. Really a poor business read more

Watching one of the employees eating toppings out of the containers while they were making food was almost disgusting enough to make me drive away. Luckily the girl with her fingers in her mouth wasn't making my blizzard. read more

Have been to this diary queen many times. Recently went and arrived at the drive thru at 9:53pm they close at 10. After waiting for a minute in front of the order box all the lights shut off and they never took our order. There were a few cars ahead of us and we were there before they closed and felt we should have been served. Very poor customer service, may not go back to this location. read more

Oh, so disappointing. I ordinarily wouldn't take the time to comment on something that I thought was below par. Nonetheless, I just have to say that this DQ serves the absolute worst weiner on a bun that I have ever sampled, and I have made it my business to sample hot dog fare (both chili dogs & coneys, and there is a difference) in more than 300 establishments across the United States. The flavor of this DQ's dogs was so very off putting that I threw them away after just a bite. One of the interesting things about the dogs I purchased there is the fact that the onions were cut into such large pieces. I weighed one of the onion pieces on my home food scale and it weighed nearly 3.8 grams. That's a very large piece of onion, too large. Also, my cola was flat and my fries were not even warm. Of course, I now have the opinion that any more visits to the DQ at Arcadia and Indianola in the Clintonville area of Columbus, Ohio would be a complete waste of time, energy, and money. read more
