I want to thank the Reinharts for their dedication to the community. This was my first job and they taught me fundamentals that I have carried over in life and I have rarely seen being taught in other establishments. They hire young highschoolers as their first time and really take the time to train them choose be responsible and successful. They taught me to always show up early, how to count money back, And how to take pride in my works consistency. read more

I'm sad this location doesn't have anyone taking care of the business side of this Yelp profile. There has been a Dairy Queen on this corner since as far back as I can remember. Last year, they remodeled the shopping center and the DQ got a nice new home, albeit a little small. I am only giving 4 stars because parking is a little tricky and I know other DQs have check in offers through Yelp that this place obviously doesn't have. I signed up for "Club Blizz" where they email you a BOGO Blizzard coupon a few times a year. Totally worth it, even in the winter time. :) This is the closest DQ to my place, so I will continue to come here. They need to advertise their Orange Julius smoothies better and someone needs to take charge of their Yelp! read more

Theeeeeee best! Been looking for chocolate soft serve and finally found it. Not all Dairy Queen's have it but this one in Riverside does! Very clean store and nice employees. Worth the drive. read more

As far as Dairy Queen's go, this one is top notch. I'm not the biggest fan of their "not really ice cream, ice cream" but their service is great at this location. It's hard to go wrong with a blizzard read more

Associate was nice but I had a coupon to use from the donation I made 2 weeks ago and they wouldn't do the coupon. I went in with two coupons, could have helped me out with separate transactions. Could have earned them their tip. Had two coupons only and no one behind me. read more

Hits the spot on a hot California day! Service is great and your order is ready in no time.

Love love love coming here. They are very fast and you don't wait very long in line. The staff is very friendly and always have a smile. Only thing i do wish is that it wasn't so expensive or I'd go there more often (: but their Oreo blizzard is amazing!!!!!!!! And the chocolate brownie royal blizzard! read more

Dairy Queen - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Riverside, California

Our family loves the DQ and recently moved to the area. This location is in a very small and possibly unfinished shopping center? Not really sure, but there is a loT of parking, you might have to walk because the parking rIGht by the DQ is usually full. The customer service is always great here aNd we have never had any problems. I like getting the dilly bars by eitheR the 6 or 12 pack. You can mix an match the flavors, but make sure you asK because sometimes they will give you regular vanilla chocolate dipped. Overall great ice cream and I'm sure when summer hits we will be here all the time. read more

Tje staff is very friendly, helpful and efficient. There is always a line, but the staff moves like the wind to get the orders out

I want to write this review in hopes that Alan sees this! Alan you are an amazing person and you go above and beyond... I really hope that one day you become the CEO of Dairy Queen! Because you really do deserve that! Thank you for always being great to your costumers! read more

Best ice cream and staff in town. You can say Dairy Queen in Riverside is Dino-mite!!! read more

Dairy Queen - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Riverside, California

I am a riverside rat lol born an raised, love this DQ always have never had a problem still to this day, we finally met the owner beautiful lady had a wonderful chat with her, keep up the great work and your store has passion and awesome customer service. God Bless read more

Always great customer service. Ice cream is so delicious and satisfying. Order the summer berries cheesecake

There has been a Dairy Queen at the corner of Monroe and California since 1956, I believe. Back when Walters Five and Dime (gosh I miss the Walters!), and Alpha Beta were here, along with Joe's Barber Shop, the Beauty Salon, a dog groomer, liquor store and a tiny cafe. Too bad California Square got torn down about 5 years ago, despite Dairy Queen fighting the cold hearted city of Riverside, and the city forced Dairy Queen to have their old drive-up building torn down in favor of a newer, colder, less friendly place located way over to the left side, hardly seen now. Boo hiss, Riverside city planners!!!! Boo on you!!!! Now we have just another non-descript strip mall type place where a mexican market, pizza joint share the Dairy Queen lot, and a promise to build a brand new shopping center, stalled for several years now. Ugh. Seriously? Now, it seems to me that Dairy Queen used different ingredients when I was a kid, because the ice cream does not quiiiiiiite taste the same, but hey, I have been going to this DQ forever, I know this shopping center forever, (god rest it's wonderful old soul, and may the new shopping center be cursed with the fleas of a thousand camels) and there is no way I can give it less than 5 stars, even though I personally did not care for the ice cream cake I got, It was just personal preference, really. The gal working here is the daughter of the owner she says from 30 years ago, but I swear it's been longer. At any rate, bless your delicious creamy cold heart DQ, I'll always love you despite the fact you were forced into a newer crappy little building. read more

My least favorite DQ! The manager (older lady w/ red hair) acts like I'm asking her to sell her soul to the devil when I tried to add cheesecake bites to my double fudge stuffed cookie. Sure, cheesecake and a cookie may not sound appealing to most but it's what I like and this is LITERALLY the only location I've ever been to that treats the cheesecake bites like they're in a drought. I stressed that I'll pay whatever the amount is and they would not accommodate me. The manager is rude and should get a position in the basement somewhere like the guy from office space. read more

What a wonderful find! The place is so clean and friendly and of course the ice cream is wonderful! The service is fast and friendly, so much to choose from and the cakes are awesome. The nice part is you can order through Grub Hub and have it delivered This will be our go to place ! read more

S/o to the male clerk that was working today 1/15/18 between the hours of 3:30 -5:00. You're a jerk. My 7 year old son needed to use the restroom bad so we stopped off & ran into Dairy Queen. That jerkish clerk made it a point when leaving to say " The restrooms are for customers". Yes I knew that but he's a kid & needed to use the restroom. I'm sure if I drove a few blocks to the Starbucks & did that I wouldn't of got that comment. Thanks for showing us just how great of a good , compassionate Samaritan you are to point out your issue with a kid needing to use your restroom. read more

We stopped by this DQ tonight to get my Mom her favorite malt on our way to visiting her in her care facility. It being Halloween, everyone there was dressed up in a group cowboy theme. Neat! Service was very friendly and efficient. Thanks for a neat experience! Keep up the awesome work! read more

The staff is so kind here. We are always greeted with a smile, and it never takes long to receive our ice cream. We love coming here. The place is clean, and there is a lot of outdoor seating. Tropical blizzards are my jam. read more

Came in and needed a rush order on a cake- and it needed a picture put on it. The ladies were so polite. Worked quickly to get it done and did a great job. The picture didn't turn out the first time so before putting it on they double checked with me. Then called someone down to get it done perfectly. One of them even brought me glass of water while I waited. Wow- pride in one's job still exists. read more

I rated a particular DQ in Riverside that asked me if I wanted extra pecans in my Blizzard. When I asked if there would be an extra cost they said yes. When I declined I ended up paying for a blizzard with very few pecans. I made up my mind I was done but my daughter loves the chocolate shake. We went to one at lake elsinore a few weeks ago. I asked for the turtle blizzard. They never asked the question about pecans and they gave the perfect amount like I used to get at any other DQ I've ever been to. We've gone back twice since and they still haven't asked about pecans for a turtle blizzard. So I guess it's just that one location in Riverside that I rated previously. I just hate that they don't have one closer that make the perfect turtle blizzard. read more

The customer service and icecream are always on point. My family and I are regulars and everytime we walk in we get smiles and a positive attitude even when its busy. The wait is never long and icecream (blizzards) always have tons of candy and made perfect! They make your dessert as if they were making for themselves. Jacqueline the manger is awesome and so are the workers. She is there almost every day and if she's not serving ice cream she's decorating cakes or she's training employees, but she always has a smile on her face. BEST DQ in Riverside. read more

I felt so very bad for the staff at my favortie DQ during the free dip cone event. it was NOT the employees fault that the AP needed would not download, nor was it their fault no one seemed to have read the fine print for the deal. whomever was shreiking at the manager and calling her names should have been helluva lot nicer and not acted so crazy over a dip cone. some people go crazy for free. gosh.. i think the staff was doing the best they could and ultimate "blame" should fall to DQ HD for saying clearly one thing but failing to show the follow up properly.. the staff of that DQ were blame free and taking way to much BS from people for a cone... i felt for them truly.. good people and stores always clean.. read more

The Dairy Queen on California Street in Riverside so far is the best one, great people great ice cream

We LOVE this Dairy Queen. My husband and I frequently visit and We are always visited by Jackie who helps us all the time. Our favorite DQ for sure!! read more

I've been coming to this location for years. This location is less than 2 miles from my house but I will never be back after tonight. I'll drive twice the distance to the one on Magnolia just to avoid this one. An employee messed up my order and then gave me attitude when I asked them to remake it. I understand you all are extremely busy, but with this kind of service how can you expect people to want to come back. It's NEVER ok to disrespect a customer the way I was disrespected tonight. I really hope the owner gets in contact with me so I can explain in more detail what happened. read more

Stressed spelled backwards is Desserts and that's what you get here. The best soft serve in town! I go to this DQ regularly. They have the best staff, always treating with a smile and a hello as we walk through their door. We have also had the great pleasure of taking home one of their ice cream cakes for my Mom' birthday. OMG! So delicious and the decoration was beautiful. The decorator said she could do special orders and put any design or decoration on any blizzard flavor cake. She was so very helpful and we will definitely be ordering one for my daughters birthday. She loves Mint Oreo. read more

Dairy Queen - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Riverside, California

Why people leave negative comments i don't understand and never ever will get it! Anyways this Dairy Queen has been here since I was a child and I love this place, the question about do you want extra on something is because people actually started wanted extra stuff on their ice cream and in the Blizzards too! So they ask everyone just in case, they have to charge for extra topping... read more

Love DQ!! Awesome Experience! Nice staff!!!!!! My son was so excited to find a local DQ

The staff are top notch, the food is really good but the cakes are the best part. That one star reviewer is out of her mind.

This is a great Dairy Queen. I ordered 2 ice cream cakes for my work and they loved the ice cream cakes. No one makes them better than Dairy Queen. At this location the owner is hands on and Jackie is superb. Her customer service goes above and beyond. This location customer service is great. Especially Jackie!! Thanks for great service read more

Social Distancing, I think not. The servers had no gloves. There were too many people in the store. Some one came just to say hi. As I was leaving, there were too many people in the store. The store is not even 6 feet long. read more

Unpleasant. Very slow. Cashier didn't know menu items. Then my family and I had to wait 20 mins for 3 large blizzards since her manager decided to pull her to the side and talk to her instead of just letting her finish. They served 10 other people before they actually started on ours. This place sucks. The manager kept yelling at customers to close the door (like I said they are slow and the line ended up getting backed up). Just go to Baskin Robbins 31 flavors on Tyler and magnolia. Stay away from this place. RETRAIN YOUR STAFF read more

Friendly fast service but my large, cherry, misty float tasted like it had been diluted with water. No flavor what so ever.

To the young man working today July 13th, you did amazing with having patience and doing your job well!!!! To the manager this young man deserves something, he greeted me when walking in, was helping an older woman who had disabilities and had soooooooo much patience I couldn't believe it. He took my order and made the ice cream and had mine and theirs ready, and still with a smile and understanding told me to have a nice day all while helping this older woman. Very well done!!! read more

Well after going to Dairy Queen my entire life I won't be going to the one on California St. In Riverside. We get ice cream cakes for all our families birthdays it's tradition. My wife picked one up and asked to make sure it's the right cake, vanilla with chocolate. She said anyone on that shelf are the ones you want. Okay if your sure I've gotten the wrong one before. She was sure. Well after the candles are blown out it's the wrong one it has strawberry a couple of guests had a piece anyway sans the strawberry part. My wife drives the next day to return the cake 15 miles one way. The girl behind the counter remembered her. The manager refused to make it right because some of the product is missing. He gave her a small cake instead that's the best he could do since the full cake wasn't returned. Was he going to re sell the the remaining cake? She spent 50.00 there. We will not get a cake from there again. read more

The workers here are so sweet, precise and thorough! The new cookie dough blizzard and peanut butter blizzard are soooo yummy!

This used to be one of my favorite places to go for ice cream. My kids and I have been coming here for many years after softball games along with half her team, however after tonight, it will be my last time. My girls and picked up my friend from work and decided to stop here for some treats. We ordered 6 different ice creams and blizzards. There was a new kind called the new summer berry blend blizzard and as reluctant as my friend and I were to try it , Jackie, whom has served us many times over the past 2 years said, "they are excellent" and to take her word for it, so we order 2 . Well I get mine and take a bite and it tasted really sour to me. Me thinking it is my taste buds, I ask my friend to taste it and he says the same thing. I, then walk back in , wait for everybody to be done ordering, I ask Jackie, if we can exchange them and she sharply says NO, U CANNOT. I ask why and she then replies, because its policy if it is made right then its yours. I then ask if I could get my money back, to which she replies more sharply NO U CANNOT and turns her back towards me and ignores me... My girls say, mom lets just not come here anymore, so m we walk out. My friend works costumer service in retail is very upset stays there and asks for her name, which she refuses to turn around and give him her name. so he asks one of the other girls and then Jackie turns around in front of other costumers and rudely says "ITS JACKIE".and then he left very sad and disappointed. For all the years I have been coming here, I will never return and I will tell my friends to stop coming here as well.. read more

I have ordered two cakes in the past month from this facility and received remarkable service both times. The employees are fast, courteous, knowledgeable, helpful and extremely friendly. The employees take pride in their work, which is so nice to see old fashion values still exist. The cake itself was delicious and the decorating of the cake was perfect. I highly recommend this facility! read more

Don't ever order a birthday cake here. I ordered an Elmo birthday cake for my sons birthday, the cake decorator was there and I had a whole conversation with her about "best colors for writing that would go with Elmo's red" and "sesame street colors". I go to pick it up today and it is a plain white cake with "happy birthday" written on it. No elmo. No picture. Not even an attempt. I'm not going to pay that much money for a plain white cake for a sesame street children's birthday party, so I just got a refund. So thanks for leaving off the most important part of an "elmo cake", the elmo. Don't recommend going here at all. Go somewhere else that will care about the quality of their products that will be provided for your kids/loved ones special day. because this dairy queen obviously doesnt. read more
