This is a classic American diner that is worth seeking out. Dating back to 1933 at another location in town, it's technically the oldest food establishment on the entire 2,400-mile length of Highway 70 (although not continuously). Moving to its current location in the 1960s, it was eventually closed for a time (maybe around 2000). Thankfully, it was revived by locals! Serving classic American burgers and fries, as well as other classics, and one of the purest strawberry milkshakes I've ever tasted, this should be on every road tripper's bucket list! And the staff is incredibly friendly! And they do accept credit cards!! read more

See all

I was staying a few days at Copper Breaks State Park and went here one day for lunch. It was great! So when I was leaving the park I stopped in again for a burger before hitting the long road ahead. Both days I had a double bacon cheeseburger with fries and it was all great both times. Service is top notch, they were great. I'll absolutely go back when in the area again. read more

Ever since I first tried the Dairy Bar, it remains a must-stop for me every time I go camping at nearby Copper Breaks State Park. I have to confess that I have a very limited knowledge of everything on the menu. This is because what I get is so good I can't ~not~ get it when I'm there. My order is a double-cheeseburger with jalapenos and a chocolate Blue Bell shake, sometimes with french fries. It's just an awesome homemade burger with fresh ingredients and a toasted bun, the kind you only find at a mom-and-pop shop, and almost never find in the city nowadays. The contrast of the hot juicy burger with jalapenos and the Blue Bell shake is heavenly. The fries are real home-cut fries like I remember enjoying as a kid. Nothing is worse than a hangover when you are camping and the Dairy Bar has cured that on more than one occasion for me. One thing to remember, Crowell is your typical Texas small town, which means that many things in town, including the Dairy Bar, are closed on Sunday. read more

On a 9 day road trip for my birthday, which included a stop at Copper Breaks State Park. Drove into Crowell to grab a burger, fries and Coke for lunch and it was the best burger ever! Exactly what I would expect from a small town dairy bar - excellent, hot, fresh food. And they even have the good ice! Used the drive- thru then parked in front of the old courthouse to eat and just take in the town and the old buildings. We even treated our dogs to a cheeseburger and they gave it 5 stars as well! read more

Thanks to Lance's family and their ranch in Crowell, I have been able to shove my face full of what the dairy bar has to offer...and that is greasy greasy goodness. Burgers? Only one of the best you will ever have. So big, juicy, fresh toppings, buttered and toasted bun.....always leaves you with that little greasy spot on your shirt and the belly that is thanking you with happy rumbles. Fries? Only the home cut REAL french fires...no frozen tators here, no sir....perfectly cooked and salted for your burger accompaniment :) Chicken Fried Steak? Only legendary. Big-as-yo-face and covered in gravy...home cooked in their own batter that is flaky and soggy at the same time...How do they do it? Fold that sucker up and stick it on a bun with lettuce, tomato and mayo...and you have their chicken fried steak sammich that only a sumo wrestler could finish (well...him and Lance). The only thing about it is that it was so big and juicy, the texas toast it was on couldn't hold up....need to find some superhuman bread to hold all that goodness. Now...my favorite thing....and this may shock you...their side salad. I know....I know...it's so weird....and Lance's BIL shares this addiction to this tiny little oddity that I crave like no other. "Whats in it?!?!?" you ask.......It's simple. Lettuce. Diced fresh cold tomatoes. Thinly shredded cheddar cheese. Ranch dressing. That's. It. Yet somehow they put crack in it to, because I dream about that little salad at least once a week. All the above, plus add hometown crowd and friendliness...and you have the epitome of southern living. I love that place.....bring me salad! read more

There's no way this place exists on Yelp, i can't believe it! I just typed it in out of boredom. My whole family is from this little bity town of about 1,000 people in west Texas. I grew up out here on our farm pretty much, and the Dairy Bar was where we, and everyone else ate on Saturdays. I grew up on their killer burger basket, with the best fries you could ever imagine! Now days, we still go there every Saturday that we are out there. But now, after a long hard day of either working cattle, hauling hay or just fixing barns and fences, we go in to sit and eat, and visit with the friendliest small town people on the planet. And now we all get the chicken fried steak platter and side salad. Best Ranch dressing this side of the......anywhere. And i doubt that steak was ever frozen, if you know what im sayin. PS Dairy Bar- See ya this weekend, got some work to do read more

Been coming here for a few years as it is on the way to and from our hunting land. The premise is simple, no gimmicks: great burgers, ridiculous patty melt and hand cut fries, fresh and done right. Lately I've been addicted to the Texas Toothpicks (fried onions and jalapenos). Order a half & half tea to wash it all down and you are set. Should go without saying that the folks working there and eating there are always friendly. read more

Passing through today, asked the lady behind the counter if there was any good places to eat in town. She said try the Dairy Bar it's the best burger you'll ever eat. Boy was she right. Awesome burger and fries, priced well. I took it to go but it looked nice inside, I will eat in next time I pass through. You will have to search for this place although it's on the main drag! read more

Great food, friendly staff, gives the people what they want in a timely manner. What's not to love about this place?

Greasy burger! You bet! Worth it's weight in small Texas town charm. Hand cut fries? Nothing but! Everything is fresh and made to order. And the friendly staff and owners are right there to make sure it's made the way you like it! Now...if we could just get them to bring back the fried pies! read more
