      There just aren't a lot of Dairy Queen locations in California, so when I have the opportunity to stop in one, I often do so. I really enjoy their soft serve ice cream, and I found this particular location serves chocolate as well as the traditional vanilla. That's not always the case at many other DQ locations. My absolute favorite is a chocolate soft serve with a chocolate dip, and you can get that here!

      One of my favorite Ice Cream Treats is the Dairy Queen Grill & Chill's BLIZZARD ICE CREAM TREATS! Dairy Queen Grill & Chill Restaurant is famous for their BLIZZARD ICE CREAM TREATS!

      I rewarded myself today for a hard day's work in doing my Administrator work at home. This BLIZZARD was the perfect way for me to indulge myself with this delicious BLIZZARD Ice Cream Treat. My Medium Size BLIZZARD ICE CREAM TREAT price was $18.45. I could only eat half of this medium size cup container and then I saved the rest of this BLIZZARD ICRE CREAM TREAT for tomorrow dessert. I placed this BLIZZARD Cup into my freezer to let it get had since this BLIZZARD ICE CREAT TREAT was getting really soft and melting inside this cup container.

      These ingredients were: Vanilla Ice Cream with M & M's Chocolate Candies and I included these add On's fora 90 cents extra charge per item. I also selected the Strawberry Syrup for the topping for another 90 cents charge. the total was $1.80.

      I ordered some other food dishes also with my Door Dash online website order for my dinner time meal. These other dishes included one 6 pieces order on the Chicken Tenders Meal with French Fries, Onion Rings and I selected the white gravy that comes with this meal. The price total was $44.37. The price for this 6 Pieces of the Chicken Tenders Meal with the French Fries with the Onion Rings and 2 pieces on the Texas Toast was $18.45, My beverage was the medium size Sprite Soft Drink. The price was $3.11. I usually order a dessert to compliment my meal. I ordered one medium size BLIZZARD ICE CREAM TREAT. The price was $10.13. This Blizzard Ice Cream Treat consisted of Vanilla Ice Cream and these ingredients I added on was the Oreo Cookies Pieces with the Strawberry Syrup for the topping. My subtotal was $31.69.

      My delivery fee was $7.99 but was reduce down to FREE DELIVERY SERVICE. Because I spent a total of $12.00 plus dollars on my online Door Dash order today. The expanded range free was $1.49. The service fee was originally $4.75 but was reduced down to $1.58. The estimated tax was $2.61.

      The dasher tip for Augusto was $7.00 that I customized because I didn't want to pay the more expensive tip of $7.50. These tips are getting too high prices for me to pay for anymore. i will be cutting back on my future orders for these Door Dash Delivery Services. These really higher prices on these tips are not in my budget anymore I can't afford to pay these expensive tips anymore. I learned that Door Dash has increased their prices on these Dasher delivery driver tip fees on every order I am expected to pay these really higher tip prices. My total bill today was $44.37 for my Door Dash order for this Dairy Queen Grill and Chill Restaurant online order for my dinner time meal.

      I received my Door Dash order from Augusto on time at 8:33 p. m. tonight and Augusto handed me my order at the front door. I brought my 3 bags that he handed to me along with my medium size Sprite Soft Drink inside my house and then I shut my front door. I started to unpack my order tonight.
      The only thing that was missing were the Napkins. There was no Napkins located inside this order bag. I noticed that usually there are Napkins with every order I place at this Dairy Queen Grill and Chill Restaurant. I used my own Napkins inside my house.

      I had to re-heat 3 pieces of the Chicken Tenders that I placed on a separate plate I only took out 3 pieces because I wanted to save these other 3 pieces to eat at a later time tomorrow afternoon for my lunch time meal. I also reheated the French Fries and these 3 Onion Rings with these 2 containers on the white gravy to dip my Chicken Tenders into. My extra condiments I ordered were the one quantity on the Ranch Dip and the one quantity on the BBQ Dipping Sauce with no charge.

      I also received 2 slices of this Texas Thick Toast that was included with my order. After I reheated these 3 pieces on the Chicken Tenders with the French Fries and these 3 Onion Rings I placed this dinner plate on my dining room table with my Sprite medium size soft drink on the dining room table to get ready to eat them. I dipped these 3 different pieces of Chicken Tenders are crispy on the outside and really juicy Chicken Meat on the inside. I then dipped these Chicken Tenders into this white gravy it paired really good with this gravy and it was very flavorful. The French Fries and these Onion Rings were crispy on the outside and really delicious.

      As much as I want to leave this place a good review for the quality of food/ice cream, the way they gate keep their restroom code from customers is ridiculous. Don't come here if you need to pee and there's a line because they literally REFUSE to give you the code until the second your payment goes through. On top of that, they're so rude about it that it makes you, and other customers, uncomfortable like you're trying to trick them. I've been coming here for years but the bathroom code has gotten so stupid that I probably won't be back. On top of that, the bathroom wasn't clean so I'm not sure what the point of heavy security is. The employees all look miserable and maybe it's the management, but it's sad because the blizzards are great and the location is convenient.

      Wheelchair accessible building, Wheelchair accessible seating inside and outside, the employees are very nice, and my food tasted great! I haven't been here in years, but this is the only place around today where you can find affordable food. I got 3 chicken tenders, fries, a drink, and a small sundae all for less than 8 dollars! That's unheard of in California these days. I will definitely be back! The store was also very clean.

      Sometimes you're an adult and sometimes you're a child trapped in an adults body... psttt which is my boyfriend sometimes LOL

      Our birthdays are in July and when he was a kid ice cream was always his birthday cake. I mean this man goes into detail about the crunch center and that the "cake" sans cake and is just ice cream with frosting on it. So instead of spending an arm and a leg for a birthday cake, I opted for the nostalgic Dairy Queen cake and the fact that he could have Batman on it was the cherry on top of the ice cream cake. I mean I spend hundreds of dollars on sushi for his birthday but what he was most excited about was the Batman Dairy Queen Ice Cream Cake!

      It was nice because all I had to do was place the order only 2 days in advance and it was all good to go for me to come pick it up! The decorator followed the instructions I had and the cake looked great. I'm really glad that in this day and age where businesses are trying to skimp on ingredients that Dairy Queen still has the same flavor as before.

      I was in Oceanside and happened to notice that this Dairy Queen was a full service DQ as opposed to the ice cream only location near me in Carmel Mountain. I remembered loving their chicken strips as a kid so I decided to stop in for a quick lunch. I chose a side of gravy for dipping and that was definitely the right choice. Of course, you can't go to DQ without indulging in a blizzard and I'm so happy that they offer a mini size as it's the perfect amount for a treat without going overboard.

      This location isn't the easiest to access since it's in the downtown area without a parking lot but at least I was able to snag a parking spot a couple blocks away.

      Line out the door, average wait in general--but fast when considering a line out the door. The place was accurate and efficient with our order. I had never really been to a DQ and so naturally I had a question or two. I wasn't treated like I was dumb, nor was I rushed. So, I really appreciated that. The employee working the register/counter was very polite. Despite how busy it was (on a Monday evening around 7pm) it was well maintained. (Better than some of the nearby establishments--nudge nudge, Flying Pig.)

      I'll be back.

      The service was great, the cashiers were patient with me and my friends as we were in a class excursion and it was fairly crowded in there. The ice cream was great and made for marvelous photo opportunities!

      Ordered a cheeseburger from this location via UberEats and this is exactly how it got to me. No meat or cheese on it. Literally just ketchup, mustard, & pickles.
