Who does not love a blizzard? Well it's the same here as it is anywhere else. For two small blizzards it's around $17. If you are surprised by that you have never been to Hawaii. :) Parking is good in this location, easy in and out. One problem when it's raining you cannot find a way in or out of the location without getting soaked. Overall staff is super friendly and it's a quiet location most of the time. read more

DQ / Orange Julius - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Kailua Kona, Hawaii

Got a chocolate chip cookie dough blizzard. The cashier suggested to add more cookie dough it was totally worth it! I asked if they give military discount cause they do in Hilo and they usually tell me no. But this friendly cashier asked the owner and she gave it to my husband . Mahalo! read more

DQ / Orange Julius - Chili cheese dog. No beans! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Kailua Kona, Hawaii

Today ( after work as my usual treat time) I ordered my usual, hot fudge sundae with extra fudge and sprinkled nuts. The cashier was new and I told her not to rush. No worries. She brought I out to me on the sales floor and I said oops where are the nuts and LOUDLY the female manager says to me ( very agitated and loud) WE USUALLY CHARGE FOR NUTS!! And being shy I said no worries I will just take it as it is. Then this female manager asked the new employee " Did she ask for nuts?" And the employee which I tipped , said no. Well dam. That's okay Dairy Queen. You can keep your nuts since it's that big of a deal for ya. The man manager/owner would NEVER have treated his customers like that. read more

This Dairy Queen location doubles as an Orange Juilus location so you get the best of both worlds. Let's face it this is no frills ice cream to satisfy that sweet tooth craving. Service was quick, friendly, and efficient. There was a steady stream of customers stopping in on a humid muggy Hawaiian day. This location has a few tables on the inside, so you can enjoy your ice cream or drink in the air-conditioned confines of the store. Plenty of public parking in the area. read more

Ice cream in Hawaii, what's not to love? Plenty of parking and outside seating make getting to and handling your ice cream fix a breeze. Not sure about some of these new flavors though. Churro ice cream? Peanut butter puppy chow? Ugh, no thanks. Just give me a plain old scoop or a blizzard that tastes yummy and makes sense, not something that sounds like it was made by a demented kid in a lab. read more

Ordered my usual blizzard with hot fudge mixed in, instead of the typical chocolate sauce. Male who took my order was new and was trying to understand my order before placing it, which I appreciated. There were two girls working as well at the time, and one of them made my order. When my order was called, I then brought the blizzard to a table inside the DQ to eat, I took two-three bites and it immediately turned to mush. It was watery as if it was sitting for 20 minutes. I didn't understand as I said I order it this way all the time. I dug my spoon a bit deeper and noticed that there was hot fudge pooled in the middle and hadn't been mixed in at all. Any blizzard lover knows you enjoy a blizzard for its lovely thick texture. So, I wasn't pleased. I went to the counter to ask why it was this way. The girl who made the blizzard told me that it was because I ordered a hot fudge "core," I was confused as I didn't even know there was such a way to order it, and told her that's not how I ordered it. I explained that all I wanted was to replace the fudge for the chocolate sauce and still have it blended in. She then told me if I just mix it withy spoon it would be the same. I was appalled and shocked! Not only was it not how I ordered it, but then to tell me that if I mix it with the spoon, it would be the same as compared to their blender was quite ridiculous in my mind. Remember, it was already watery/melted. There was no offer to remake it how I ordered it. Just, this is how it is, use your spoon. After that short conversation, I went back to the table I was sitting at, and I saw the two girls, go in behind the counter and heard them speaking about me. Basically saying how ridiculous it was of what I was saying. After that, I was quite bothered. Yet, I still wanted my blizzard how I usually get it as that's what I had gone there for. So, I ordered and PAID with the male again, and I just decided to ask the male for the phone number to speak to a manager, or someone of upper management material. One of the girls went to make the order, and as he told her I was asking for the phone number, or name of the person in charge, she handed it to him and went in the back. And yet again, I could hear the two girls start to speak AGAIN about me in a tone of irritation and no respect. The male completed my order and handed me the new blizzard, which was the right texture (from start to finish). The staff at the time were all young. The females didn't have the maturity, customer service knowledge, and etiquette of how to communicate with a customer that would allow for a person to get what they paid for (twice). This all could have been resolved had I been listened to in what I ordered and was asking for, and by having respect for a customer and putting effort instead of attitude into work ethic. I want to be sure to add the male was very calm, helpful, respectful, and understanding the entire time. *I wish I would have taken pictures to post on here. read more

Got blizzards here. Staff are friendly. Decent prices. Quick service. They were out of one flavor I was looking for (brownie batter). Blizzards melt fast in the Hawaii weather, so eat up your blizzards quick! read more

Sure hits the spot and it's very clean and efficient! It's a perfect stop after a bite at any of the nearby grub spots,

While visiting muggy, muggy, sticky, muggy Kona, I was thrilled to see a DQ. Like a mirage in the lava rock desert. They're located in the Kona Commons, a newer mall between Kona Airport and Kailua Kona town. The store was clean, and service was friendly and fast. DESSERT: Oreo Waffle Cone Blizzard - $4.89 - Mmm, mmm, mmm good and so much better in a creamy, crunchy waffle cone! Clean and very easy to eat because it came in a plastic holder. read more

DQ / Orange Julius - Oreo Waffle Cone Blizzard - VN - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Kailua Kona, Hawaii

I haven't had soft serve from Dairy Queen in years and when I saw this in the Kona Commons Shopping Center, I got super excited. The shop is small but it's clean and they have a few tables inside. There were 3 small groups in front of me but I got my desserts pretty quickly. There were 2 people working; one person to take order and the other was making the order. After so many years, the soft serve still tasted amazing. If my stay in Kona was longer, I would have gone back on another night to get the chocolate dipped cone. read more

This facility has clean dining area. The menu has a lot of different variety and the staff is friendly too!

Came here less then a week ago to get a blizzard and had no mask on; then came back again today and wasn't allowed in without a mask. Same older gentleman who took and served me my order a week ago, was the same who decided to harass me over a mask. Asked if they had a mask for me that I'd wear one, and they refused to provide one. Guess business is good when you can refuse money from a paying customer. read more

Easy 5 stars. The ice cream makes this place good. The service and the preparation make this place great! Love to pop in here for a chocolate dipped cone with my son. I could eat a blizzard here everyday. So many options and they are all solid. The food is even pretty solid too! As far the cake goes why would you have a regular cake when you could have an ice cream cake!!! So good!!! My fav is the peanut butter cup read more

Aloha! That's it! This business is running 75 years. It has it's ups and downs, but it's nice they are still in the business. I ordered the original Otange Julias and it was good. My friend who tried this product 50 years ago said, that it tastes exactly like a last time he tried. I'm not sure if I would be back, because it's not my thing, but why not for someone else!!! I'm glad this company with such history is still around. Mahalo for reading this. read more

3 year old dropped her bilzzard and they refused to remake it because it was outside their store. It was about 2 1/2 feet from the front door. Employee was rude about it read more

Oh my gosh. Lemme tell ya, this Dairy Queen is really good. The other day, I was walking down the road and saw this establishment glimmering in the distance. I soon as I saw the Dairy Queen sign, my mouth started watering at the thought of a cold, chocolate-dipped cone. Once I purchased the item I dreamt about, I sat down and enjoyed every last lick. The combination of chocolate and vanilla ice cream made for a scrumptious afternoon treat. I would most definitely get a chocolate-dipped cone (or any ice cream for that matter) here again. read more

There were three people working here but the cashier is making the cones while the two other employees are in the back bantering. I ordered a chocolate cone and was handed a vanilla cone dipped in chocolate. When I explained I had that was not what I ordered she said we don't have just chocolate ice cream so this is what you get instead. If I had known that, I would've ordered something else. By the time I got my order there was a line at the register so I didn't want to hand the ice cream cone back and asked for a refund.I was kind of surprised that they didn't tell me at the register they didn't have chocolate ice cream . I mean really who ever heard of a Dairy Queen without chocolate ice cream? read more

I didn't have a good experience here i ordered a blizzard with bananas & cookie dough and the employee gave me a blizzard with cookie dough fudge and I said "oh no I didn't order this I wanted it with vanilla flavor" and she sighed with an attitude and rolled her eyes . Maybe that's why people want to steal their employee tips since they have a sign of a person who tried to steal their tips. read more

I was a blizzard virgin and DQ blew my mind with my first time, lol, thanks DQ! I got the candy cane and chocolate seasonal blizzard in LARGE (because, why not ?) and I was really surprised how good it was. I kind of look down on DQ for being so last century but I stand corrected. Before they serve it they do kind of a weird thing where they shake it upside down for you to prove how thick it is, I guess if the spoon falls out you get it free or something?? I didn't really understand what they were doing or how it benefitted me to have them shake it upside-down like that but it is kind of an interesting part of their culture. I guess there were previous complaints about it not being thick enough so now they're like "ohh, yeah, you don't think we know what we're doing, watch this bee-otch, I'm a gonna shake it upside down right in front of you. Yeah ! Take that !" Also, it turns out the small size would have been plenty. read more

They're located in Kona Commons and I believe that they're the only dessert place in the area--well, besides the desserts from McDonalds across the street. Anyways? Dairy Queen/Orange Julius have great blizzards. I like to order their cookie dough one and I just love it when they turn it upside down lol. When they turn it upside down, it's weirdly so exciting to me haha. I also love their original Orange Julius drink too. It's a really great twist on orange juice and a sweet treat that'll cool you down. I don't usually order "real food" from them, but I actually really do like their hot dogs. I don't think I've ever tried one of their birthday cakes before, but I like to stare at their cake designs lol. Oh and their chocolate dipped cone is super good too! McDonalds does offer a good knock-off of this, but I like the chocolate shells from Dairy Queen much better. read more

I always get Banana Cream Pie blizzard at Dairy Queen - it's my favorite! The staff here was extremely friendly, efficient, and accurate. I arrived around 7:30 p.m. on a Wednesday night, so there was no line and we were helped immediately. I am not sure why this location has such a poor rating. I've been to many Dairy Queens (always ordering the same thing) and the quality of ice cream is consistent with the rest. Additionally, the kind staff were much better than average. read more

Sometimes we have to eat out. My Wife's idea of Lava Cake. DQ has done it. We came For ice cream and just stayed for dinner THAT GOOD. The service by Edie and Emma AMAZIMG. We had a Chicken Bacon Ranch, The Turkey BLT & The Lava Cake for dessert. I've had all these Items at some very good Resturants. I was skeptical but my wife made me a believer.

I will start this one positive, the ice cream and smoothies were yummy! Reason for the one star? We walked in around 8:40 (they close at nine). We ordered. The girl taking our order didn't seem so thrilled that we walked in 20 minutes to closing. Did not greet us, smile at us, or even thank us actually she barely even made eye contact. So we sit down and wait for our desserts. 3 of them came out and while we were waiting for the last one we hear the girl at the register say that they're taking the last order (it was only 8:50). Then they turned off some of the lights in the dining room. Ok? Last dessert came and we decided to just stay until we were finished eating. At around 8:57 a couple walks in and the guy in the back tells them, "sorry we took our last order already." Then at 9 on the dot the girl from the register walks up to us and tells us that they're closed and we have to go and eat it outside. Mind you there were 3 other parties in the dining room eating their desserts. I have worked at many restaurants, bars, customer service in general and I personally would never turn down business especially when they weren't even closed and then kick everyone out right when the clock hits 9. I have never had this happen to me before. Usually the establishments will let paying customers at least finish their food before giving them the boot. Hope that rainbow colored hair girl at the register has better days then that one. Aloooooha little miss grouchy pants =P read more

AC cool, friendly cashier and the taste of original Orange Julius orange and a hot dog brought back so many good memories....

I usually enjoy/love this dairy queen but wasn't satisfied with the customer service that I experienced the other day. I clearly told the women that i wanted a snicker doodle cookie dough blizzard. everything was fine. then when she called out our order she got the order wrong. now that wasn't a problem, the real problem was her attitude! she said "THIS IS WHAT YOU ORDERED" with a very sassy inconsiderate tone. after I told her that, that wasn't what I ordered! please get staff that knows how to deal with customers. thank you! read more

Very friendly staff. Great and fast service. Very clean environment. We go there almost every week.

I took some out of town friends for lunch and ice cream. We were greeted with smiles from the three young men attending the store. The food was delivered fast and hot. I noticed the men kept busy cleaning the ice cream machines and the windows. I was impressed to see that they washed their hands! The manager was not in so I told them that they were doing a great job and to keep up the good work. :) read more

New owners who are quite friendly and approachable ....my service there was outstanding! The girl at the counter was warm and had a great smile to match her attitude. It was fast DELICIOUS!

The usual DQ, try the two fer afternoon deals while it lasts.

We ate here tonight. To say the girl up front was unfriendly is an understatement. She barely talked to us enough to take our order and we felt like we were imposing on her. I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich and it tasted a little like seasoned rubber. The reason I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 was because the guy in the back was friendly and it looked like he was doing most of the work. He was cooking and bringing the food out. read more
