I don't eat at DQ as much as I would like to, it's just too expensive for such small portions of food. I normally opt for McDonald's, but now that Wendy's is coming to town. I'm dumping both McDonald's and DQ for Wendy's 🤷🏻♀️
I'm sorry, but Wendy's has always been my favorite since childhood. However, I decided to keep going to DQ for cakes, but I may reconsider after the most recent cake I received.
I've never had any issues at this DQ location food wise. Everything is always fresh and piping hot. I usually get a #4 Mushroom Swiss combo with onion rings.
The treats are great! I usually get a blue Raspberry misty freeze, oreo blizzard or a hot fudge sundae.
The cakes however are a hit and a miss. I've been decorating cakes since I was 6 and I work as a cake decorator today, so maybe I'm a bit picky and my standards are too high 🤷🏻♀️
Normally I bake my own cakes, but when I do not have the time I will order one from DQ. This year for my 4th wedding anniversary I had to bake a specialty cheesecake for a cousin's bridal shower that was being held on the same day as my anniversary.
I didn't have time to bake two cakes, so I decided to get DQ to make me an anniversary cake since they did such a lovely job on my wedding cake 4 years prior (My husband wanted a DQ cake)
VERY disappointed in this cake… Again, maybe I'm being picky? I e-mailed in a BLACK & WHITE photo and received a GREEN image on the cake. This usually means that the printer is low on ink and it's substituting for another colour… but whomever made the cake did not reprint the image. No quality control.
I personally would never put an image on a cake that was less than 100% perfect. Customers are paying for the image, it needs to be perfect.
The image was not centered and the excess frosting was not cut off of the image. Always keep the seams of the cake to the sides or to the back when decorating… The seam was at the front, visible.
The image was not put on the cake properly. It was lifted and bubbled in a lot of areas.
The writing was nice, though 👍🏻

Read moreI was pleasantly surprised by DQ in Stienback on my recent visit there. Keeping in mind that this is a fast food restaurant famous for ice cream, I ordered a hamburger to see how it compares to other restaurants in this category. Firstly, the service at the till was polite and efficient. The price for a regular cheeseburger was reasonable at $5.29 and included a drink. I received my number ( I was dining in) and cup ( for a beverage) and was sent on my way to find a seat. The decor is a slight step above the competitors. Complete with a child’s play area and two tv screens for the adults. My burger arrived very quickly, which tells me that they are precooked just like the competition, and tasted quite good. Care was taken to ensure all the toppings were spread over the whole burger. Not like some of the competitors , whose staff often seem to slap a meagre amount of toppings on one side of the patty , or put way too much on. It’s seems that they really don’t care. During this visit ( at least) it seemed they( DQ) DO care. I am pleased to say DQ does more than just ice cream well. I...
Read moreThis Dairy Queen is almost comical in how much of a gong show it is every time I go. They don’t have the same deals that all the others do in Winnipeg. Their service is insane. I just came back from a Blizzard run. They left the microphone on in the drive-thru, confused our orders, they left the window open and asked if they made the right blizzard to each other and then shrugged and passed them to us. They were both wrong, and weren’t blended. I showed them my Dairy Queen app, and the girl responded “no thanks, not right now”? This was hilarious as I couldn’t even guess what she thought I was showing her? They then took my card for tap and closed the window on us without saying bye or offering a receipt. I may be from Winnipeg but this service standards is insane. Check the picture for their Chocolate Xtreme...
