Tip: This eatery has a drive-thru. You get a scenic view of a building on the left as you leave. After having a late lunch at Perkins and picking up dinner from Shawarma Royale last Saturday, I spotted this Dairy Queen across from both establishments. I had to check it out. Driving across from these two eateries to DQ requires some care. Traffic can be a bit heavy, which was the case for me at around 5 pm on a Saturday. I checked out the drive-thru. I got a friendly female voice over the speaker. I ordered a small strawberry sundae. I paid with a credit card when I got to the window. I got the payment machine attached to a long stick. I tapped and was good. The woman asked if I wanted a lid for the sundae. I said yes. I also got napkins because things can get messy. When you exit the drive-thru, you get a tour of the building with businesses on the left. You are then led to the street. I actually had my sundae in front of a Starbucks a few blocks away. I was safely parked. I took the lid off and went to town on my strawberry sundae. I love it so much. It's the strawberry chunks with the sauce on vanilla soft serve that makes this dessert yummy. It was perfect and hit the spot. I should return and try a burger. I had a great experience with my sundae. I'll be back when I'm in the area. (461) read more

Dairy Queen was my very first job in high school and I still remember all the training; weighing the cones to get as close to the required weight for all different size cones and sundaes, learning to make various treats like the peanut buster parfait and the banana split, making the dilly bars and eventually the ice cream cakes. It all brings back some fond memories. Maybe knowing how it's supposed to look is a curse in some way as I, unintentionally, look at our orders with more critical lense. My favorite thing from DQ has always been their sundae with fudge and strawberry toppings, but what I received tonight fell short of that expectation. The fudge was poured on the bottom of the ice milk and the strawberry toppings almost completely covered it. I would have preferred drizzling the fudge on the one side and adding the strawberry toppings on the other, but the way my sundae came out, there was definitely not enough fudge. The banana split was definitely 30% smaller than the size I remember making some 30 yes ago, probably due to shrink-flation. The kids still seemed to enjoy the treat, but one of them complained of the "fizzy" pineapple chunks which is less than désirable. We also ordered a blizzard which I didn't get to photograph, but it was good. Definitely passed the upside down blizzard test. I still enjoy coming to DQ as I find that the quality of their icemilk is still exactly the way I remember it. read more

Hannah Castro was very helpful with information and had great customer service skills.

Although I've lived in Pickering for over twenty years, I've hardly been to the local Dairy Queen. It's not that I don't like ice cream, I love it! This trip, however, I decided to try their burger, something savoury. I ordered a combo with a Bacon Double Cheeseburger, Onion Rings, and a soft drink. What I got was a hefty burger with some very crispy onion rings and I helped myself to a drink from their dispenser. The onion rings were great. Really crispy! The burger, while a good size, was just okay. The texture of the burger patty was okay but I didn't care too much for the DQ Ultimate Sauce they used on it. It kinda spoiled the burger for me. They said it's Thousand Island Dressing inspired but I didn't quite get that. Maybe the flavour was mixing with something else. Maybe next time I'll try it without the sauce. Overall, this was a decent burger at a very good price, great onion rings, and a good value with the drink. I'll just have to try it without the sauce next time. read more

I ordered the Hot Triple Chocolate Brownie for $5.99 - $6.77 w/tax. There was no Hot Fudge Sauce & the lump of soft ice cream was so small ! They gave me cold chocolate syrup sauce not FUDGE ! Disappointed ! Would love to have a credit ! read more

A great selection of cakes to go when you're in a pinch for an impressive dessert. They come in several different sizes and shapes (round, logs, square) with decorations that include plastic signs, printed designs, and hand-iced designs. Don't forget that they also have frozen dessert pizzas, some topped with Oreos and others with Skor which are great. You can create your own custom cake or bring in a picture for them to print on a cake as well. I also decided to have a caramel sundae on this occasion. In my picture it doesn't look like that much sauce but it was actually a good ratio to the amount of ice cream. Any more and it would have been way too sweet. read more

I always get excellent drive-thru service from this location. It's fast, courteous and always accommodating any questions I might ask and any coupons I might use lol Their blizzards, sundaes and cones arrive ice cold and just as advertised. It's all I can really ask for from a chain ice cream restaurant. read more

I have only eaten in once. Most of the time I get drive thru. The daughter loves their warm brownie with soft serve. She can generally polish it off before we are home 15 minutes away. I like a small dipped cone. However, I have noticed the drive thru passing mini cones instead of small cones. For dine-in fans, especially those with small kids, be mindful of trips in the afternoon. There is a probation office a few doors down. I guess after they are done they will also pop in. I will just say the language can be a little salty and the attire of the customers questionable. Granted it is no Dairy Queen's fault. When I did dine-in I found the service slow. But I find that the pick-up end of the counter can get congested waiting for you bill number to be called. There just has to be a better way to service their customers. read more

Love Dairy Queen! Blizzards, sundae, and good burgers. Don't know why they don't promote the burgers more.

Ok super slow wait times, especially in the Summer. I think they were understaffed. But the brownie DQ blizzard was great! I had one bite and then it DROPPED ON THE FLOOR!! But I went up to the cash and said I dropped it and they made a new one for me, right away for free! Very nice of them! read more

CAKE BUYERS BEWARE!!!! I love DQ products and NEVER had an experience like this one! My son's 8th birthday has just passed and this year he wanted a DQ cake. We decided to go to this location as it was close to the birthday party venue. The day before the pick up date we ordered the the cake design that my son was in love with. I made sure to confirm all the request of the cake decor with the order taker and as promised every detail would be done. The day of pick up, I called again in the morning to confirm if the cake was ready so we could pick it up and if was okay if someone else came to pick up other than myself, as I was stuck at the birthday venue. The store assured me that everything was ready and there was no problem. Once the cake arrived, I immediately noticed that the cake was decorated not as neat as the other cakes on display and a huge part of the decor was missing! I knew my son would be upset about this, so I tried my best to explain to him that it was a mistake and not to be upset on your birthday. My son was devastated!!! It was like if you had ordered a Superman cake without Superman???? The cake was a total waste! My son was soooooo upset that he didn't even eat it. After the party I called the store to speak with one of the managers, she offered me 25% off my next cake to shut me up! I told her that $7.65 will not change the fact that my son cried all over his cake and that ruined his birthday party!!! She told me that is all they could do for me and I would need to speak with another manager...... All I want is my $30.34 back for my cake and still to this day, through calling head office and speaking to other managers I have not been reimbursed. I will NEVER go back to this store again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

$6 for their special combo. Ordered deluxe cheese burger combo and chicken strips. It came with a sundae and can be upgraded to a small blizzard for a buck! Good food and great ice cream for the price. Only down side is the service, the guy looked very depressing. :( read more

Your regular Dairy Queen, nothing special. Good customer service and their ice cream is always top-notch.

This store is awful. They're meant to do the thing where they turn the blizzard upside down, but I'd they did it here the ice cream would pour all over the counter. Sloshy mush. read more

Worst Dairy Queen I have ever been to. Used to be pretty good but lately they must have hired new staff and it has gone downhill. The last two times I have gone to their drive through my blizzard was half melted when I got it, I asked for a fudge core, paid for it and didn't even get it. The second time a double checked, went back in and they informed me its nothing like it's advertised on tv it's only turns out to be a small ball of fudge. My I paid for extra cheesecake ingredient for my gf, she found 3 pieces. Not impressed, terrible value for your money. Better off going to McDonald's for a mcflurry they do fudge centre too, or making your own! Hard to find good help these days I'm thinking read more

We went to this stand alone DQ on Kingston Rd near Pickering Town Centre and I ordered a banana split, like I've done at other DQ's for 58 years now. Immediately the smell warned me I should check the banana. It was ROTTEN! I complained and he went to his manager, she had him dump it and pull out a new bunch of bananas. Then she(manager) split one of the new bunch open and showed me how ripe they were and said "they're all like this so do you want a banana split or no?" I told her "although these one's are not rotten yet like the one that was put in my banana split, they are still much too ripe for me so I'll order something else and those ought t be made into banana bread soon cos they're on the brink of rotten too" . She gave me a dirty look, whispered something to the employee serving me and moved along. He then took forever to make my treat and by the time I got it my friend was finished her blizzard. Not impressed, not going back to this location! read more

My friend came to this DQ. Let's call her Larry. Larry ordered a chocolate extreme blizzard. So you would think that the chocolate extreme would have a lot of brownie pieces as seen on the commercial, right? WRONG. Larry left the DQ sad, disappointed and ...... BROWNIELESS read more

I ordered an oreo cheesequake blizzard cake from them last weekend. The cake didn't even have the crunchy fudge in the middle, all it had was a layer of oreo. Also the cheesecake cubes were just piled up in the middle of the cake with big gaps of no ice cream. Not worth $30 read more

I go to DQ in Pickering way more than I should but it is near my house. I go often enough that the staff knows me and I might have eaten more sundaes there than anyone in Pickering. It is always good as are their cakes. And the lady who has an 8 YEAR OLD who was devastated because the decoration on his cake wasn't quote right? OMG really? Alert the media LOL. He is so well balanced that a cake decoration is going to ruin his birthday? Or do you maybe just want some money back from DQ? One of those. Tragedy. read more
