Dairy Bar - Dairy Bar Jalepeno Burger - Burgers Near Me - Lake Jackson, Texas

Dairy Bar has been around the Lake Jackson area for a long time. They've even won awards. The history of Dairy Bar is plastered along the wall and you get a glimpse of how they came to be. They're pretty proud of their success. Now as for the food? It's hit or miss. The steak finger basket This was definitely something I would not order again. It was so overcooked and burnt, you could taste the oil. BLT I was quite surprised that this was actually decent. They buttered up the toast and plenty of mayo. The lettuce was crispy and refreshing. Bacon was crunchy. How can you mess up a BLT? Burger The Burger was cooked well and was beefy. No complaints Corn dog This the star of the meal. Beware, they charge for water in a styrofoam cup. I love how Dairy Bar is still going strong after all these years. They pride themselves on their history. read more

The food is good and the restaurant is clean. Service is also wonderful. Over the last 3 years the prices have gone up so much that I just can't afford to go there! read more

Always hot good food. Staff are pleasant and don't rush you. The shakes are a must try.

This is painful to write. Ordered double meat jalapeno burger well done and onion rings. Got order which was COLD and burger was barely done and onion rings were barely done and cooked in burnt grease. Sent it all back. Burger came out little more done but was cooked at best, medium, and asked for fries instead of onion rings. Fries came out raw and barely warm. Won't be back for nothing but a malt. This is NOT the only time food came out wrong. SAD because this was the best burger in town and cannot trust the food being prepared. Please consider closing the doors or just serving malts and frozen treats. The food is HORRIBLE!!!!! Still have the memories of how great is used to be, which are priceless. Just had to be brutally honest since this place was so ICONIC at least for many of us from LJ in the past. Please do not bother sending any type of compensation. Attaching receipt for your records. Really do mean it when I am telling to close the doors. You could try to get some better cooks, change management, and get more help, but this would be the only chance. Food speaks for itself!!! SO SAD!!!!!! Thank you very much and God Bless!!!! read more

Had a few minutes to grab a bite, so I decided to try this place out. Similar to Dairy Land in Alvin, but this place is nicer. Ordered the chicken tender basket with a chocolate malt. Cured the chocolate shake craving I've had for a couple of months. Samantha was friendly and helpful. read more

We stopped by yesterday and had an amazing experience. It started out a little rocky, and ended with us planning another trip for the ice cream!! Service at the counter was spot on. Kitchen made a boo-boo that counter help didn't catch. In the end, it was corrected and we leave very happy. If you love hand dipped corn dogs, this is the place to go! One of the best corn dogs I've ever eaten in my life. While there, take the time to read the history on the restaurant. It is quite intriguing. The ambiance is very old school diner - and lovely! The ice cream is amazing! Some of the creamiest shakes we've ever had. After a day at the beach, this is the place to be! read more

The food quality is absolutely awful , I got 2 things , the grilled chicken sandwich & a 1/4 lb burger . Chicken was flat & it was like chewing on rubber , the burger wasn't even hot , it was a frozen patty with no taste & was awful , service was ok , not the best , ambiance was decent. My work crew also got stuff and we could not finish our food because it was nasty... read more

This place has gone down hill since new owners have taken over. Trying to mix the restaurant employees and their physical theraphy business. Prices are too high and food safety regulations are not followed- beware. read more

Always good food. Served fast. Great malts etc. Been in Lake Jackson forever, locally owned.

Every time I come here I'm happy with what I get, I like the burgers, the chicken, the salads, steak fingers and every shake/frostie/malt they have. Always happy with the people and the service too. Best fast food in town! read more

Dairy Bar - Hand battered corn dog and 1/4 Cheeseburger on Toast - Burgers Near Me - Lake Jackson, Texas

Ordered the 1/2# burger special and steak finger basket. Burger was good old-fashioned burger. Steak fingers were TERRIBLE. Gravy was terrible as well. All food had excellent temperatures. Steak fingers had NO taste and gravy was flavorless as well. Seems they came straight out of the frozen food isle at your local store. Milk shake was good. read more

We used to love their salads, now they are so small compared to a few months ago. I guess the price of tomatoes got too high now. Winter tomatoes are mushy, that's what we got. Priced the same, but the salad is much smaller. One onion ring, one skinny bell pepper ring, an extra small egg, a little bit of grated yellow cheese, but the Lettuce was crisp and fresh. Will give it on more try. read more

Long time customer lost. We won't be going back. Service is so slow. A couple of weeks ago we were told our online order was lost. We reordered, had to wait for it, then they magically "found" our first order and tried to give us both. We then had to wait for a refund when we declined taking home both orders. Tonight was worse. We ordered online and were told our order would be ready at 8:00. We arrived a few minutes before 8 and checked in after waiting several minutes before even being spoken to. Staff was vastly more concerned with getting ready to close than taking care of their customers. At 8:25, I went to the counter and asked when our order would be ready, as several people who came in and ordered after us had already received their food. It was just sitting on the counter. No one had called our name. Then, when I said that they have me the wrong salad, a sweet younger girl went and got a manager who proceeded to argue with me about what I ordered. We order the same thing every other week. I just click reorder the same meal. The salad tonight came in a side salad container and it was just lettuce, chicken, and maybe a spoonful of corn. I paid $10+ for a full sized salad and instead was argued with about a meal that I have ordered several times. We walked out and we won't be back. read more

Been going here for years (worked here for years awhile back, too). Cute, homey vibes. Great malts, homemade sherbet (if you have a sweet tooth, try the sherbet mixed with sprite. "Sherbet frosty"). They remake them weekly so there's two new flavors every week. The banana splits are great too. I'd give you all the best ways to get different things Love it here though. Sweet owners. Great old fashioned vanilla (makes really good vanilla cokes or whatever soda you like). read more

Ate there on Thursday evening . Ordered double meat regular hamburger all the way with no cheese and mayo no mustard. Burger came out 1 patty with cheese and dry. Took it back to the counter and told them twice what I wanted. They brought me what I ordered but with mustard. Wrong twice in a row. Be a while before I'll go back. Was not that busy either. read more

The jalepeño burger was good, the fries were decent too. Was under the impression the place was open til' 9 but once we were done eating went back up to get our ice cream and were told they were closed, 20 minutes til 9, I mentioned it would have been nice had someone mentioned the machines were being shut off since they were very much aware we were sitting there finishing our dinner. But not a word. Left very disappointed. Don't plan on returning. read more

We just ordered 19 hamburgers and 5 hotdogs! Hopefully you can enjoy the local grub! read more

Burger and fries were fine, but the visit was worth it just to read the history of the business and of Lake Jackson on the walls.

Great, we got the 1/2 lb special and we will definitely be back. We were greeted by a manager and he was nice and helpful.

A local institution! Yes it looks super old, but you will not get a more authentic hamburger joint experience than here! Crinkle fries, homemade corn dogs, malts... a must stop If you're new to town or just visiting. read more

Service was exceptional and quick this afternoon. I ordered the half pound special. As always, the burger was fantastic. I ordered it with no onions and they got it right. The fries were hot the whole time, down to the very last one. I ordered a frosted root beer. This one today was thicker than they usually are. It felt more like a shake than a frosted drink. Tasted great, but wasn't what I've come to expect over the years. The restaurant, including the restroom, was clean. read more

I eat out a lot, the Dairy Bar constantly has Good Food and Service! Do I need to say more! Best in town!

This is a nice little diner. We like the burgers and fries as well as the hotdog. They have a drive-through and if there are no cars behind you you can wait but if somebody pulls in behind you you can go to the front where they will call out your number. read more

Passing through town around dinner time and stopped here for an old-fashioned hamburger. I decided on a jalapeño burger and was beyond excited to see that their buns are one of my favorites. One of those moist, super tasty buns with great flavor. I can see why they have been here for so long. read more

We love stopping here on our way back from the beach! Burgers are good, crinkle fries are good, chicken tenders are good, milk shakes... I could go on & on! :) read more

Do not judge a book by its cover. This place may look straightforward and probably not so enticing, but give it a chance you won't regret it. So, I pull up in a rush sort of, and there isn't a drive-thru sign, so I drove around and found the window. The woman greeted me nicely and asked what would I like and being my first time, I was still curious on what to get so she gave me a few options, but I chose the burger and large fries. It was the best choice since the beef is grinded in the house which makes for a juicy burger and I have to say it was a top-notch sandwich. The fries were also delicious crinkle cut just how I like them. Now at this gem yeah it's a small yet great place they announce your order over a megaphone or you can dine-in, but the whole experience gave me flashes from movies I've seen in the past like "grease." They have a little sliding window where a nice lady greets you and hands you your food. I, however, mentioned it was my first time there, and she insisted I have a shake on the house. They have the best shakes in town hands down! Such great service, friendly people and a lovely establishment. I will be back for more and more!!;) read more

First off I eat there all the time, young men that work in the evenings know me and what I order, I love their food but when they make a mistake on your order they will not accept responsibility, they don't make them all the time bit the times they have they don't want to compensate for them. Just make sure you check your to go order and your receipt before you leave this establishment because they won't correct it otherwise. read more

I love seeking out old burger places. There is a reason they are still in business. Fresh veggies. Toasted bun. Friendly service. This place had all that and more. They have quite a selection of sides, burger combinations and shakes and malts. When I am back in town I will be stopping by again. Thanks for the GREAT service! I love reading the displays on the walls too. read more

I love the friendly people. The food is fresh and the toasted grilled bun is the best. Love a hot burger!!

Dairy Bar is a tradition in Lake Jackson and it holds true to its roots. The folks are friendly and the food is really good. It takes you back in time when family owned businesses were more common and people took pride in their service and wares. Kudos to Dairy Bar for surviving the pandemic and staying true! read more

Dairy Bar used to be my favorite place in the world for a burger growing up; a highlight of my summer visits to my grandparents' houses was always getting a Dairy Bar burger and shake. This place is a serious landmark of Lake Jackson. This Christmas I decided to indulge my burger-hankering with a nostalgic visit to Dairy Bar. Alas, it's just not good anymore. The burger was bland, the bun was flat, and the fries were tasteless. I don't know if I just romanticized how good it was as a kid, or if it really has gone down hill. Sadly, on future visits to LJ, I'll have to go somewhere else when I want a burger. read more

Dairy Bar - Burgers Near Me - Lake Jackson, Texas

Excellent place! Food is great it's a hidden gem. Don't let the outside fool ya! I decided to give this place a try and don't regret at all! The jalapeño cheeseburger, fries, drink and chicken tenders were all so good. The patty in the burger was juicy and hot. The bread soft and warm. The service from the employees was great! I felt welcomed in this spot! It's a home cooking feel. Free refills on drinks which was great. The cost is reasonable and not overpriced! Thanks Dairy Bar keep up the good work! read more

My favorite place for crispy tacos! And the crinkle fries are great! But there's really nothing like a Dairy Bar Coke! I've been getting those since the 80's! The guy behind the counter is witty and I enjoy the banter. He's the one that's going to be a lawyer someday! I believe it! Lol! read more

The place was cleaned and the service was okay. The burger was cold, cheese was melted and you would think that if it came off the grill it would be hot. The shake was thick but had an off taste. read more

My husband grew up locally and he loves this place. Their jalapeno cheeseburger is the best around. He always gets a "frosted coke" and it makes him feel like a kid lol. read more

A Brazoria county tradition. Still best burgers and shakes around. 65 years and counting... read more

Nastiest most childish food ever .... Go to McDonald's same burger for a cheaper price the chicken strips are repulsive and if you want good food go eat fast food ! read more

I Can remember going through the drive-through with my dad when I was a little kid so I decided to take my kids while we were visiting. I thought it was very good and it brought back a lot of old memories. You got to love that jalapeño cheeseburger I've never had anybody cook one like that anywhere else. And now my kids want to go every time we visit. read more
