  Happy camper. Well I visit this place a few days a week stop in and get a few of my favorites, the Bizzards are to die for especially the new ones they come out with, also the strawberry shortcake it taste like the real deal, last is the chocolate dipped cone I usually get a medium. it’s so refreshing for the trip home, it kind of takes the edge off the traffic which can really stink at times but I get into my ice cream and forget about things for a while

  DQ in Cocoa Beach for Cool Desserts. Although there are over one hundred restaurants in Cocoa Beach alone, this is the one we visit the most. We belong to the DQ Blizzard Fan Club and get a Buy One Get One Free Coupon each month in an email. Many beach goers come here, as do tourists and local alike. DQ, by the way, stands for Dairy Queen.This fast food restaurant shares the stand-alone building with Subway. Funny thing is that I rarely see visitors ordering at both restaurants. We come for the Heath Bar or the Reese Cup Blizzard. A Blizzard is a soft serve ice cream with bits of cookie, candy, fruit or chocolate incorporated into vanilla ice cream. There are over 20 flavor blends from which to choose. Each month DQ features a different flavor. This month it is Pumpkin Pie. Blizzards come in mini, small, medium or large sized cups. The Blizzard comes with a long red plastic spoon for eating. Either eat your dessert inside the air-conditioned restaurant or outside on one of the small table that overlook A1A. Usually it is too hot to sit outside but after the sun goes down it is fun to do so and people watch at the same time. We often just do take out since we live so close. Although they are supposed to serve us the cups upside down to demonstrate how thick it was, that has not happened lately. I would just smile when they did that anyway – no big deal. The service is always very friendly and the place looks neat and clean. A while ago, it received a minor renovation. While I wait for my order, I always check out the freezer case for take home goodies. The original Orange Julius sounds delicious but I have never tried it. The newer fruit smoothie flavors tempt me more, though. If parfaits, slushes, sundaes, lattes or brownie desserts are more to your liking, DQ serves them also. Personally, when I am very hungry, I enjoy either the Banana Split – soft serve vanilla ice cream with two slices of banana covered with three syrups – pineapple, chocolate and strawberry and of course whipped topping or the Chocolate Covered Strawberries Waffle bowl – so yummy. You can also order cakes, malts or shakes of all kinds. The hardest part is deciding which kind of treat and what flavor to order. These all come only in one size – just the right size, too. The only food items that I ever saw ordered here at the Cocoa Beach location were hot dogs. I have been to DQ restaurants elsewhere that were full menu restaurants with a large food menu besides the ice cream treats & drinks. At those restaurants, you can order combos, burgers, sandwiches, baskets, chicken sandwiches/wraps, salads and sides, also. The Cocoa Beach location, unfortunately, is not one of those. While on the road recently, we did stop at one of these full menu restaurants in GA and I was happy to see all the choices. We saw many servicemen inside and many families, too. The Chicken (veggie is also available) Quesadilla that I ordered was delicious served with sour cream, salsa and onion rings. In addition, the Blizzard that I also ordered was so thick and filled with lots large pieces of candy. I would love to go back there again sometime. We come to DQ in Cocoa Beach because of its convenient location, the Blizzard Fan Club Coupons, the relatively fast service unless it is peak times and the taste of the blizzards. The prices are inexpensive even without a coupon. Parking is out front & spaces are rarely a problem since there is also an empty storefront next door to handle the overflow. Check it out after a hot day at the beach, cool off inside and order whatever looks good to you.

  I have had strange customer service experiences but this one was very strange. They made the wrong blizzards which we told them were incorrect before they finished with our order. The members of our group decided that they would keep these two incorrect Blizzards. Then, when we asked for the two Blizzards that had not come out, they asked for the two incorrect Blizzard cups to ‘keep there inventory correct’. We attempted to explain that we would keep these Blizzards, but we still wanted the last two Blizzards that we had not yet received, but they would not give them to us, insisting we return they cups. We finally gave in and said we would just forget it. At the end of this trip to Dairy Queen, we payed for four Blizzards, and only received two, which were made incorrectly. I wouldn’t recommend this dairy queen. The employees did not act in a professional manner.

  Omg…..hire some new staff. Only two people working at any given time. We went multiple nights in a row to get my son a blizzard, people were lined out the door,.because there was never more then two people there, so frustrating

  TERRIBLE SERVICE. My family and I were in five minutes before closing and as we were being served another family walked in – with still five minutes to close. The DQ employee decided to tell this family that DQ was closed even though the Open sign was still lit, door unlocked and she was serving us ice cream! Terrible help, she should be fired.

  Low Standards. I love, love, love Dairy Queen, but after ordering here twice I wouldn’t go back again. The chocolate soft serve had an off flavor both times, and neither the place nor the staff are clean.
