    Oreo blizzard small and large  Brownie Sundae
    Melodee Marie G.

    I am so glad that this places maintians good reviews. I have been coming here just for a sweet fix and this places has always been so convenient. Who can say no to a blizzard! The workers are always so nice and friendly. There was a total of three younger adults working at my visit at 7pm. I have not personally tried the lunch/dinner food here, but I would recommend all the desserts. I also have not had any of the fruit smoothies, but I do hear that they are pretty good. For a quick dessert this place is definitely the right place to be at, conveniently located in Carmel Mountain.

    Stopped in after I went to Rite Aid. It's only a few doors down from there. I have not had an orange Julius in so long! It was the perfect fix I needed. I ordered a large for $6 and it's worth it. It tasted like real orange juice and not watered down. I've had it at the fair many times and they always make it watery. Staff was friendly and I made my order right away.

    Peanut Buster Parfait
    Lisa O.

    Always a yummy experience. I usually get the Buster Bar but the last few times it has been melted and refrozen so this time I decided to get a Peanut Buster Parfait and it did not disappoint.

    Save yourself from ever ordering uber eats from here. Their carelessness in packing orders resulted in my ice cream being delivered as SOUP, not sealed shut or even in a bag. What the fuck. See photo for how they feel comfortable sending peoples orders with drivers. Unbelievable.

    One of the few DQ locations in SD! Service was very fast on a weekday afternoon. My mint brownie chip blizzard tasted especially good for 85 cents during their special. Get the app & see what deals are currently going on. The blizzard tasted like vanilla soft serve with mint flavoring with brownie & chocolate mix ins. Not too heavy or creamy like regular ice cream. Still love how they flip the cup upside down before giving it to you! Just like the old days! They sell a variety of dairy & dairy free desserts for take out. There is also a low sugar option. Additionally they sell blizzard cakes! Gotta try that one day! Looks amazing. Plenty of seating inside, even for larger groups of 6-7. Kid friendly. Don't ever change DQ!

    3/20 Free Cone Day
    Shirley Wing L.

    :( I know this isn't really the staff or locations fault but there was some huge disappointment today 3/20. It was Free Cone Day, I received several emails marketing this from DQ and put it on my calendar several days ago, heavily anticipating this. I even read the finer terms over and over again to check what the event duration was. It indicated all day event at non mall locations. I even helped spread the word to my friends. My friends showed up to a different non mall location and yet were met with a sign that said they weren't participating. They ended up buying a Blizzard since they already went there. I felt so guilty. We separately went to this location and got hit with a sign that they ran out of cones when we showed up around 6:45pm. As much as I understand it was our issue for showing up later in the day. I also felt like maybe they should've specified how many cones they were going to give away that day instead of leaving it open ended that this was an all day event. NBC did a better job of clear advertising when they did a Free Bundtlet event, what time and how many, just so all of us have realistic expectations. What's also unsurprising is that there was still a long line of people which tells me like that most like me were met with disappointment but since they already spent the gas and time to get out there they were kinda coerced into spending their money to get something. We decided that due to the principle of things, to take our business elsewhere, we walked over to Thrifty and got a single scoop (which is really a double scoop) for $2.49! While the small cone at DQ is~$3.5+ now!

    Yes, that's a devil and there's reason the original company was sued - some sports team said it looked like its logo

    Here's for the lies they tell everyone about the Orange Julius. When IHOP purchased Orange Julius a long time ago, Warren Buffett purchased it from them and then it was sold to Dairy Queen. I was just speaking with one of their reps on a corporate matter, nothing to do with them, when I brought it up. I told him about this place. He said they should be selling Orange Julius drinks. It looks like they are a franchise, but all the franchise Orange Julius' were purchased and folded into the Dairy Queen Corp. I gave him more info about this one. All the other Dairy Queen's have them. He said this is rare as hen's teeth. So I hope to hear back from him to hear what he has to say. The other stores do - give them - call!! They do have those ice cream popsicles that taste like orange Julius. They kept telling me it was a Covid thing that the company stopped making the mix. It's bad enough you have to wait 30 minutes or an hour for a baseball team to get served - then you are told some kind of lie. Call any one of them (I've called 10) they all have them and have no idea what I'm talking about when I mention the Carmel mt store and the shortage. One of the store managers laughed so hard that they asked if the kid behind the counter had been drinking. When I told them it was the owners....he said that was real odd, and not good at all and he'd call me back.

    Fruity blast cone
    Michele M.

    Fruity Blast dipped cone. I'm addicted. Tastes like Fruity Pebbles cereal. The people here are friendly but they close kind of early so get there before 7:30. The line can also be out the door. That is when I don't get my Fruity Blast cone.

    This is from the Carmel Mountain location---why does my receipt say MINNESOTA?!?!?!
    Dani P.

    DISGUSTING! There were just a bunch of kids working, who didn't wash their hands, didn't have their hair tied back and couldn't find the expiration date on the DILLY BARS...probably b/c they were so old the date froze off (didn't know until I got home and opened the box and they all had frost bite)! We ordered a couple Orange Julius drinks that had ABSOLUTELY NO FLAVOR and blizzard that the ice cream tasted so frozen, it had no flavor! I have heard their are new owners, but my SERIOUS question is, why does my receipt say MINNESOTA? Is that were the new owners are located??? NEVER GOING BACK! DIRTY, TASTELESS AND JUST OVER ALL GROSS!!!!!!!!!

You can taste every ingredient and there is obvious thought put into their recipes. The salsa bar is on point as well, and when they say spicy, they mean it. Whole 'lotta flavor no matter which salsa you choose. I had one issue though, to the point that I'm not sure I'll come back. When I received my order, I noticed that the bag felt lighter than usual. I didn't think much of it until I got to the car, but when I went to take a quick bite before heading home, I couldn't help but notice how small the burrito was. I know for a fact that this wasn't the case a couple years back when I was coming here regularly. I'm all too familiar with shrinkflation, and I get it, doing business isn't cheap, but I would have gladly paid a couple of extra dollars more to get a big burrito similar to the size of what you get from a 'Bertos shop, or really any SD taco/burrito joint for that matter. Place was clean, service was friendly, but I didn't leave very satisfied... $13 for a burrito this size just didn't make sense to me, no matter how good it tastes, but ~$18 for a bigger burrito with the same ingredients and quality, I would stop by on the regular. If you don't have a big appetite like me, none of this even matters, but if you do, don't come too hungry...

    Oi Fusion in Carmel Mountain is a casual Asian fusion spot with bowls, fries, wings, desserts, and…read morehonestly a menu where everything sounds good. One of my favorite things about this place is how easy it is. You order on the kiosk, grab a seat, and your food usually comes out within like 10-15 minutes. The inside has a lot of seating and even games like Jenga which makes it feel like a fun spot to hang out for lunch. I didn't interact much with service since I used the kiosk, but the worker upfront was really friendly and even brought my takeout to my table. This time I tried the Dynamite Crawfish Bowl and the Dynamite Fries. The bowl comes with crawfish, rice, dynamite sauce, eel sauce, seaweed, sesame seeds, and pickled radish on top. The fries normally come with sweet potato fries but I swapped mine for regular fries because I just wasn't feeling sweet potato that day. The fries were honestly kind of underwhelming. It was basically fries with dynamite sauce and only a few pieces of garlic confit, which was the part I was most excited for. They weren't bad, just really underwhelming. I honestly think the sweet potato fries probably would've worked better with the flavors. The crawfish bowl though was really good. The crawfish had this slight smoky flavor to it like it was lightly torched and they give you a lot in each bite. The rice was fluffy and cooked perfectly and the pickled radish on top helped cut through all the richness from the sauces. Everything worked really well together flavor wise. My only complaint is that halfway through the bowl the flavors started blending together a little too much and it gets boring, but overall it was still super satisfying and filling. Definitely still one of my favorite quick lunch spots in Carmel Mountain and somewhere I'd bring friends because the menu has so many good options. Their dessert menu also sounds insane so I already know I'll be back.

My favorites are the chicken adobo and loco moco bowls. My husband usually gets their dynamite crawfish bowl. The food is tastefully crafted together. For an introvert like me, I don't mind ordering ahead of time or using their kiosk to order and wait in the dining room. They still greeted me and was super friendly when giving me my order. Their walls are decorated with pictures of their food and a wall of art. So cute. The tables looked new and clean.
