First time having DQ!!!! I came by after lunch with a hankering for a blizzard. This is a small shop located in a strip mall, and I was the only person inside. There was one person holding down the fort. He was both taking and making orders, and very quick and friendly. I ordered the mini chocolate-covered strawberry blizzard, one of their seasonal flavors. My ice cream came out quickly and I was on my way. I didn't try a bite until I got home and it was a very hot day, so I stuck it in the freezer for a bit to firm up. When I got tired of waiting, I pulled it out and finally got to enjoy my first blizzard! I will say the ice cream quality is nothing to write home about, it tastes like a fast food chain ice cream base. A tad icy and not the milkiest. I think it's supposed to be vanilla but I didn't get much of that. My blizzard was blended with chocolate bits and strawberry topping. The strawberry topping was a tad too syrupy but it was good in the way strawberry jam is good. I loved the crunch that the chocolate bits added. There was plenty of both toppings and I got a bit in every bite. It was not completely uniformly blended, as the bottom was mainly comprised of the ice cream base. It was satisfying in the way that fast food is satisfying, but I consider it a one and done for me.
The Dairy Queen/Orange Julius Treat Center at the Mission Valley Mall was one of the smaller setups I have seen for this national dessert chain. When I was traveling earlier this summer, there was a DQ/OJ location that featured a drive-through lane so you didn't even have to leave your vehicle. The suite here was in the middle of a corridor close to some larger anchor restaurants. Ongoing construction work reduced the foot traffic greatly as there was only one small path on each side. One small table and two round high-tops were inside for customers to sit/stand and hang out. The vast menu board was above and behind the service counter as a long arc. Half of the panels were photos of various products while the other half listed the offerings. Two of the "new" Blizzards were shown in one panel. I selected a mini serving of the Pumpkin Pie since we are officially in the autumn season. Real pumpkin pie pieces were blended into soft serve vanilla and topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg. A worker assembled my item and turned it upside down at the end to make sure the contents held firm which they did. For $5.29, the mini size was no more than 12 oz. It was pricey yet decadent and sweet. I enjoyed the treat yet I felt it was just under a four star experience.
This is the best DQ I've ever been to. The employees are so friendly and competent. Everything is always consistent and they move as fast as possible. I love DQ and this one is the best.
DAIRY QUEEN | MISSION VALLEY This place never gets as best as it can be. The location itself is pretty solid, free parking and it's right by the structure. There can be long lines in the summer, but i specifically came on Cone Day where it was free throughout all Dairy Queen's in the participating ones. This location has an awful management where they kept all the flyers up for the cone, and didn't even manage to remove them so they continue to build a whole line until a customer shouts to everyone in line that they ran out and you have to pay full price for a medium cone. The worker didn't bare to care and said sorry and then went to go remove the flyer for the free cone day that has been promoted for quite the whole day. The people aren't the kinded, no gloves, space is messy and dirty, and they want to rush you out of there. I ended up purchasing the medium cone full price since i was in line. Wouldn't recommend stopping by here if it's a busy day, because the workers just don't care enough.
It's Dairy Queen. Service was good, small space inside so it's better to take it to go. Can't go too often or you will gain weight. Tip: if you're looking for smallest get the Mini instead of Small.
I am so glad that DQ purchased Orange Julius. I just love all of the different Julius flavors they have here, but what I really love is the blizzards today when I came in, they had their Valentine's Day special which was a "triple truffle" it was made with chocolate sausage ice cream to die for. It had a malty effect! I had a really hard time not ordering my favorite, which is the take five bar that they still had. I really hope that Take 5 stays on the menu and not just as a special. The service was really fast and very friendly. The inside of the store is really clean and you can tell the employees take time (and are so so friendly!) to make sure this place looks nice and every customer is happy. When I'm at this mall I make it's point to be sure to make a stop at the Dairy Queen. Oh also, my husband had the watermelon orange Julius and it was absolutely delicious the best of the three orange Julius as we ordered! All were as expected but the watermelon one is stellar!
I came here with my friend for their "free cone day." There was no line at all! I opted for the chocolate dipped cone, which was only 50 cents extra. She got the regular vanilla ice cream. The swirls were perfect and it was a great little treat during our lunch break.
I was craving a sweet treat, so I knew DQ was the place to go!!! I got a frosted animal cookie blizzard, size small. I love when they flip the blizzard upside down - just goes to show how thick the ice cream is. The flavor was reminiscent of the iconic frosted animal cookie blizzard and not overly sweet. I was able to split the small size with a friend, and it was the perfect portion size. My treat was made before I even paid, SO fast!! They recently remodeled their store, giving it a very modern vibe. I am looking forward to trying their other special flavors soon!
I came here to try the new churro dipped cone. Sadly, I was a bit disappointed because it tasted a bit like plastic. It was made up for because they had cupcakes with their famous cake fillings that I love!! This location is a bit on the smaller side as it's located in the mall. The service was very slow.

Tried this trend ive been seeing on social media and boy was it fantastic. Vanilla blizzard with a side of chocolate topping from the dipped cones. I enjoyed every single bite. You know when you get a dipped cone you only get that little bit on the top. Well this was chocolate with every single bite. Pure heaven one of my new favorite desserts. Try it. read more

The place was clean, and the guy behind the counter was friendly. Still love a Blizzard, but $6.50 for a small that feels like it weighs next to nothing? The value just isn't there anymore. No complaints about the service or the taste--just a lot of money for a little treat. Love the Blizzard. Don't love the price. read more

OMG this is the worst organization ever. They have a line out the door and prioritize online orders. They only have two people working and they are sweating and stressed the poor workers. Management and owners are greedy. Hire more help. read more

Was running errands and decided to pop in for some ice cream. I had the turtle blizzard and also got the chocolate brownie to go for my colleague. Delicious!!! Cashier/ice cream maker was very friendly, asked a lot of questions and thorough with the order. She gave excellent customer service. read more

This is the only location in San Diego that offers the cupcake! They were nice enough to put one on hold via phone. Upon arrival the worker was highly confused on what we wanted, we did eventually get what we wanted. This location is super loud inside and very hard to understand people. They were decently busy, but appeared very quick getting people what they wanted. I highly suggest the DQ Cupcake if you want an ice cream cake but don't need a giant one. I also grabbed a box of Butterscotch Dilly Bars, which I didn't even know existed. Very tasty as well.. read more

We often have problems at this location. It's usually getting our order wrong, which isn't a big deal, we just tell them and they correct it. But recently, we had a coupon sent to us for $5 off $10 order or more. It stated we had "two days" to redeem it, which we did, as there was a movie screening nearby so we went. Yet when you pressed "redeem" on the screen, it went to another page showing various food items, but the cashier or manager, didn't know how to redeem it, so they didn't. Seemed like a rather bizarre solution to THEIR problem. Why not just comp us one of the ice creams we bought, and worry about that with your corporate office. So, we didn't get to use the coupon, and spent full price. The manager said "they show a picture of a hamburger here, and we don't sell hamburgers." Uh, who cares? We didn't order a dang hamburger!!! So...what's the point of them sending out coupons or rewards, that you can't use? And, I just spent 15 minutes writing this on their website, which is a pain in the butt, because it kept saying I didn't have the variety of things filled out properly and all that. Just ridiculous. read more
I just come for the Blizzards. DQ has been around forever! The Blizzards are always the best. I got the Oreo Cookie one which now comes with the option of adding a "core" of fudge. It's called the Royal Oreo. The small size honestly is the size to get. Anything else is just plain ol gluttony. Note: I got the small size for my Yelp presentation only ..otherwise.. I would've went with the gluttony option! Note: Their job is to tip it upside down to assure you of its thickness. LoL~ im gonna leave that comment alone though read more

So we were craving ice cream and we looked up a Dairy Queen... This took us to the mall but here on the yelp app it's stating that they have a drive-through which they obviously didn't and it was a little inconvenience to have to go into the mall to make our purchase just because we had a little one and we had just left the beach... Anyways upon arriving when we were ordering we clicked on the menu and it said that they had six dollar meal deals so we wanted one of each and they told us that they didn't sell that in that location... Which was a little annoying because they offer it at that location through their website... That's exactly why I gave it a four star rating versus a five star it was because of all the wrong information that's here on the app... Anyways we ended up trying a brownie & Oreo Cupfection And it was so BOMBBBBBBB! My husband myself and my two-year-old absolutely loved it! We will definitely be coming back in the next week to get another one! Super YUMMY! read more

Tiny location with just one cashier taking orders when line is out the door . Three small tables with two seats each. They have a pretty good sized menu with Orange Julius items as well . They use an iPad to take orders and credit cards are accepted . We ordered: Ice cream sundae : - vanilla soft serve , strawberries, hot fudge , nuts , whipped cream: nice size serving and well put together . Tasted good . Butterfingers blizzard : - chocolate soft serve with added chocolate dip. Small size was $4.29 and kinda tiny . But blizzard was delicious Staff seems nice but had hard time handling large crowd . Still an appreciated location in mall if you want dessert read more
On a warm muggy day like today, what else could I use to help ease the pain? Well, how about a smooth creamy Blizzard loaded with crunched up Heath bar! I had just that for $3.69: a small to go. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/dairy-queen-san-diego-6?select=RhCAKKL3e6GTW8VBb_c4nw#FjIS_SgGUBLn0xv-ea1ulw) Man, I was very surprise how smooth and rich the vanilla ice cream was. I want to know their secret. Then add the crunchy and yummy heath candy bar bites; and slam, what a treat! (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/dairy-queen-san-diego-6?select=RhCAKKL3e6GTW8VBb_c4nw#RhCAKKL3e6GTW8VBb_c4nw) Those crunchy bits mixed with the creamy vanilla ice cream was just fun, and not to mention delicious to eat! You got to try it. The service was quick and friendly. read more
Jasmine & Priscilla work very well together. They were very welcoming and gave great recommendations as well. The blizzards were tasty and the prices are reasonable. They have outside and inside seating. Again, thank you all for the great service! read more
