    Not on ice cream when I had some coupons for poutine I bought 2 double signature burgers double patty each cost around 7CAD. After reaching destination and when opened both were single patty, humans makes mistakes but the patty was thin as ham and too dry nothing in it. It’s nothing like what its shown on menu. Its a real fraud servings.. Never in DQ ever even for ice creams anymore.

    Not impressed. Decided to stop at this location because we were early for an appointment. Attempted to order an original pecan cluster blizzard and was told it was not on the menu. I've had this blizzard at many many locations across Canada and the US and have never been told it's not a menu item. I explained the ingredients and I was told they could make it but there would be an up charge. We left without buying anything.

    I got an ice cream birthday cake for my wife again. Her birthday is in winter, when she was young always wanted ice cream cake on her birthday. Since we met, I make sure she has it every birthday. It’s not about this specific location, is about love.
