We don't live in the area but whenever we're around, we stop by this Dairy Queen that offers fast service and yummy ice cream. Please note it's fast because it's a takeout only- no seating and tends to get busy. They do have a parking lot though, which is a huge plus ! read more

Before writing this review I attempted to contact the store and corporate only to receive no response. We ordered an ice cream cake for Thanksgiving, and what we received yesterday though was excessively disappointing and truthfully, an unacceptable cake. Cutting into the cake, there was no chocolate ice cream, almost 0 cake crunch and a pocket of fudge in the middle. This cake was very poorly made and for ~$32, we were shocked to see we paid more for far less. I'm excessively disappointed and truthfully disgusted that this was passed off as an ice cream cake at an exorbitant price and even more disappointed that I received no contact back to help correct the situation. read more

all you do is sell ice cream. how could you possibly not have chocolate. Im sorry unacceptable. I'm sure this complaint is going nowhere but I just had to get it off my chest. read more

I was in the area and decided on a familiar treat. This location is one of the few left in my area. I have to travel a bit to find a DQ. It's also one of the last ones that does not have an inside to sit and eat a meal. The girl was very nice. I just wish my blizzard had more Oreos. I understand she was a seasonal worker. read more

This is now the closest Dairy Queen to me after the one in Passaic unfortunately closed. I always preferred that one because it was inside so there was no waiting outside in the rain or heat but it's gone. This Dairy Queen is fine and it does get pretty busy so be prepared to wait in line. Everything I have gotten here (blizzards, shakes) is good. The service is always pretty good as well. My only minor complaint is that they run out of ingredients sometimes which is I guess due to being so busy. A small complaint. There is a small parking lot and street parking is available. I still miss Passaic but this is where I will go from now on. read more

This location is very clean and welcoming, which made a great first impression. The ice cream was spot on--rich, creamy, and full of flavor. Prices weren't bad at all, especially for the quality you get. The staff was super friendly and made the experience even more enjoyable. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area! read more

Always fresh ice cold and delicious. It's been in Rutherford for many many years and stood the test of time

Heck yes- needed to try the NEW Confetti cone, it didn't disappoint in fact, I can't wait to get it again! Haven't been to DQ in a long time since there isn't really a location near Hoboken. So glad I made it to this location on an off time, during the week. Service was ok but the star of the show was the dipped confetti cone! This location doesn't have many tables outside and they have no inside. You order at the window. Parking was limited but didn't seem to be a problem. read more

Rutherford Dairy Queen - Confetti cone - so good! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Rutherford, New Jersey

Half melted blizzard. Was not served upside down because it would have fallen out of the container. The kids who run this place use the counter for their laundry. A sweater was on the counter outside the window. Will not be returning to this location. Worst DQ location. read more

Rutherford Dairy Queen - Choco dipped strawberry blizzard small - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Rutherford, New Jersey

It was closed for a while and I was excited to finally get some good ice cream. But unfortunately I was very disappointed. Ordered a Oreo and brownie confection. The ice cream was airy, a lot of air bubbles, the Oreos were stale, and the brownie as well. There was also like no hot fudge as if they ran out but didn't want say anything. But also it was all at the bottom. Just really a disappointment and will probably never go back. $16 something for 2 things. I would of rather of just went to my local grocery store. read more

I love the ice cream here but the service is a downfall. I went to get ice cream and the staff member named Mel was extremely rude. I asked a question and she didn't know the answer which was not the problem, it was her attitude and how annoyed she instantly got. She huffed and rolled her eyes like it was a problem. As she was waiting for the answer she stood in front of me AT THE WINDOW PICKING HER NOSE RING. It was absolutely DISGUSTING. Next she pushed my blizzard to me which was sloppily made and had ice cream coming all over the sides. I won't be back after that experience but maybe the health inspector will be. read more

This DQ has the best sprinkles within a 5 mile radius. The staff is always friendly, fast, & professional. The ice cream is always fresh & never stale / old tasting. read more

The staff working at this Dairy Queen is amazing. I ordered the triple chocolate brownie and shared it with my bf. There was a lot of people but the line moved pretty quick. read more

Yelp Big Night In. Being that we are ordering out tomorrow for Easter, we opted to do dessert tonight. So we went to our go to spot in Rutherford. They have the social distancing routine down and everyone is abiding quite well. I got the summer berry blizzard. Extra fruit. If you like blueberries and blackberries, this is SOOOOOOO refreshing. My wife got the Hawaiian blizzard and mt son got the Oreo Blizzard. Rutherford Dairy Queen gets their usual five stars on this Yelp Night in event and I look forward to getting together with everyone soon!! read more

Everything you would want and need in a DQ. Hits the spot when that craving for a blizzard strikes. Always tasty and delicious. Lines can get long here during the popular months of course. Can't compare it to a homemade ice cream shop but fulfills the need for sure. read more

Always like Dairy Queen! Walk up window, parking lot and seating on side. Not like good home ice cream but once in awhile nice to have soft serve ice cream. Plenty of variety in ways ti have it served. read more

Went there on a nice summer Saturday. Only one family in front of me, so not busy. Greeted the employee "Hey how's it going" and just got like a death stare like what do you want. I ordered a twist cone and asked that it be placed in a cup because I have to drive with it and asked for m&ms on top. Immediately was told m&ms could not be put on a cone, even though I was getting the cone in a cup. So I explain that and get handed my order. A completely vanilla (not twist) cone placed upside down in a cup. The bottom of the cup was full of the m&ms pieces. Nothing on the top of the ice cream so literally had to dig through the entire thing before getting any of the topping. Staff needs to work on the customer service and just practicality. Guess that's why I don't go here often. read more

Easily the worst dairy queen ice cream I've ever had. They got both me and my boyfriends orders wrong and our blizzards were already melting when we got them. Talk about disappointment! Unfortunately it was like we were drinking icecream soup and had to throw them away. Money down the drain. I ordered a chocolate oreo dirt pie blizzard, they forgot the gummy worms and also mixed in vanilla for some reason which I didnt ask for. My boyfriend ordered a vanilla Oreo blizzard and they mixed chocolate into his blizzard, and he hates chocolate. read more

Better since they replaced equipment. Service is always good there they try their best.

I love me some Dairy Queen. This was my first time at the Rutherford location. Hardly a line but it was 4pm on a Thursday. There are some picnic tables on the side and plenty of parking. The girls at the counter were super friendly. My go to is Reese's Pieces blizzard, unfortunately, I was informed that it was discontinued. I settled for the m&m's one but should of gotten the Heath bar one but it's ok. My BF got the new snickers cream pie blizzard, he said it was delicious! Now that I know there's a Dairy Queen not to far from my home, I may be stopping by more often for my ice cream fix. read more

Always busy at this location but service is fast and efficient. Plenty of parking and a few seats on side. Nothing beats a good soft serve w sprinkles every now and again read more

All I can say is stopped in and it was worst experience. Ordered 2, I repeat 2 simple things. No crowd not busy at all. And apparently that was too difficult to remember. I received one of the items, and waited ten minutes for the second when I asked where it was they told me they didn't hear me. Apparently when I say " she'll (referring to the child next to me) will have this and I will take that" the employee didn't realize, even after paying for 2 items, that she was missing part of order. read more

I feel bad but the one star is simply just for taste. I don't know if they have a broken soft serve machine but wow this chocolate soft serve tasted wildly different than any other time I've ever come to Dairy Queen (even this one). It was like it had no flavor at all... not even chocolate (not even vanilla). The only thing I tasted was an empty milk taste. Guess I'll just be sticking to my local ice cream shop. I would give two stars to the staff, while I understand it's a pandemic wow they do not care about anything huh? It's almost funny. Poor kids. read more

Chain, instead of local, like some other similar joints; the staff has always been very friendly and fun, though, despite sometimes getting packed read more

If you are craving late night ice cream and you're in the area, then this is the place for you. It's been years since I stumbled upon a Dairy Queen. My friend and I wanted some Oreo Blizzards randomly the other day and when we searched for a DQ we found this location. It did seem like even at night there was a good amount of foot traffic. The prices are very reasonable and the ice cream hit just the spot! read more

Creamy vanilla soft serve, Pecans, chocolate shavings and caramel...oh my my....delishhhhhhh!!!

Reasons why I come back: - Friendly and Quick Service - Private parking lot - They accept credit cards - I'm a sweet tooth freak I placed the hours on my tip page but I will post it again. They now serve hot sweets aka "BAKES OVEN HOT"....check out my pic! read more

Ordered an Oreo Blizzard from this Dairy Queen and it definitely had a weird after-taste. Kept eating to try and figure it out. It was as if it had old milk mixed in. One bite would be OK, but the next would taste sour. As I kept eating, it just got worse. I had to throw the rest of it away. (For what it's worth, I ordered a small and only ate about a third of it.) My boyfriend also ordered an Oreo Blizzard but in a large and his tasted fine. My guess is that the machine wasn't properly cleaned of old milk and they just poured in new milk over top. read more

This is my first time at this location. I just wanted to shout out Aryanna (name on the receipt). She was so lovely despite the long line of people, social distancing rules, and the whole COVID mess. I was alone but I had a big order of six different things. Aryanna was awesome and patient as I made sure she read everything back to me and put everything in to go containers. Her positive, uplifting attitude was refreshing! read more

Saw the DQ Ad on TV of there Funnel Cake with ice cream and my BFF said 'oh..., get one'. So lucky for me there one in my home town just a few blocks away and I did the fast dash to it. Now funnel cakes can be crispy depends on preparation, and are topped with powdered sugar and drizzled with a topping of your choice, served warm with a side of ice cream in this case. The toppings available include hot fudge, caramel, and strawberry. I picked the strawberry and they put it on the soft vanilla ice cream and the funnel cake too. And it has real strawberries chunks and not just syrup. And this was to go so they gave me a cover for it which help in case of a spills or overflow since the warm funnel cake was beginning to melt the ice cream. And it also stops me from getting any licks in before I gave it to my BFF. We shared It and it tasted real good considering it's only three simple ingredients. I would not mind doing it again plus they had a Triple Chocolate Brownie I want to try next. read more

Located on Park Ave. in Rutherford. There is a small parking lot in the back of the store. There is also street parking available nearby, but its metered until night time. I haven't been to Dairy Queen in years, but when I saw they were giving away a free soft serve cone, I couldn't pass it up. The small soft serve cone was free, and an additional dollar for sprinkles. The line was crazy that day, but it moved pretty fast. It only took about 20 minutes to get my ice cream. The staff was surprisingly friendly, even with the volume of customers being served on free soft serve cone day. The cone with sprinkles tasted great and reminded me of childhood. I took a look at their menu prices and its gotten pretty expensive. The small cone, that I got for free, would have cost me $2.89 and a small blizzard is $5.23. I do have cravings every now and then, for their soft serve and blizzards, so I'll probably be back, albeit somewhat sparingly. read more

All summer long for 50 years i have been coming to the Dairy Queen on Park Avenue. The place looks like it's under better management that decided to put tables outside . Great idea but you are forgetting one thing . They are always dirty . Need to invest in some WINDEX @ a leaf blower and keep the place clean or get rid of the tables . read more

Rutherford Dairy Queen - One dirty table - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Rutherford, New Jersey

Who doesn't love ice cream?! Dairy Queen is open all year round and this is located conveniently on Park Ave in Rutherford, which is a main road filled with local mom pop restaurants. After dinner in town, stop by for some sweets :) Love their sundaes whether it's strawberry, chocolate or hot fudge! The staff is friendly. There are a few benches and outdoor tables for warmer weather days. Parking lot is available as well as off street parking. The shop is small and there's no indoor seatings, which is the only reason why I can't rated it 5 stars like some other Dairy Queen locations. read more

Worst service ever. Year after year. Why do we return? Because (sadly) they are the only take out ice cream place around that's open late. They over charge ($5 for a kids soft serve cone) and don't offer nor give napkins. Staff acts like deer in headlights when you ask for a waffle cone or sprinkles. They are as unfriendly and slow as they are unambiguous. This place is also dirty and lacks diversity in flavor options. read more

Why all the hate?? Dairy Queen, and this DQ specifically, is preeettttty amazing. Let's be clear, I love Blizzards. I could eat them for every meal, every day and still get excited about the next one. I converted my entire family from DQ soft serve orderers to Blizzard addicts. So yes, I love Blizzards and have no qualms standing in line outside in February. This DQ location has always been reliable for us. It's always pretty busy but they're pretty efficient and nice enough although don't expect them to go out of the way with cheeriness. We've ordered countless Blizzards and a few cakes and honestly have never been disappointed. The Blizzards always have plenty of mixins and aren't melty the moment you get them. This location always has the new Blizzard flavors quickly and is able to make old flavors months after they were the featured flavor of the month. Some reviewers said it has gotten expensive, however, we have visited other DQ locations and the sizes here are actually bigger so maybe that's why? Anyway, just trust me and go have a Blizzard - you WILL like it. read more

By far one of the busiest DQ's I've been to. We waited in line for 20 minutes on a Saturday night in September to get our ice cream, but we drove exactly 4.2 miles (closest DQ from home) specifically for the Oreo blizzard and the soft serve cone with sprinkles, so it was well worth the wait. So, why 4 stars if we had to wait 20 minutes? There are benches unlike at other DQ's. So you can actually sit down and eat if you want. And our ice cream maker loaded me up with Oreos. Kudos. Made my night. read more

Let me start by saying the staff here is extremely rude they made us feel like we were bothering them we just wanted to buy a banana split ! We got a gift card to buy ice cream. And when ask for a receipt I was denied I just wanted it to check the balance on gift card . I asked her for her name she refused but I got the young mans name Konstantine today is Sunday 9/6/20 approximately 2:15 pm when we purchased. Thank you read more

Worst Dairy Queen ever. Second time I went and got completely melted blizzards for my kids. When I asked politely if they can have something else the girl at the window said in a very rude way she had to charge me for the blizzards anyway. We ended up just throwing it away. They couldn't even enjoy their ice cream. read more
