Pretty good, just about what you'd expect for a fast food place. Not much else to say. The fries are really good though

Very odd that I have the exact same breakfast each time I visit and today I was charged $4.00 more than yesterday. This happens often, never knowingly from one day to the next what I have to pay. read more

I love the vibe in here- it's not my first time visiting dairy palace and definitely won't be my last!! I wanted to get the fish but i thought it was slightly over priced but the ingredients are always fresh so that makes sense! i got chicken and the gravy was phenomenal!! thank you dairy palace for taking me back to a simpler time! read more

Dairy Palace - chicken strips - Burgers Near Me - Canton, Texas

I don't get it why they're "World Famous". I love the vibes and staff was kind but the burgers were not that great. I ordered just a basic burger to have a good starting point but this food is probably catered to older people. It is bland. Nothing special. I've had better burgers at a gas station. Its going on my Never Again list. read more

Don't bother! The cheese on your burger won't be melted! The patty was burnt. It reminded me of being at a cookout at someone's house and they didn't know how to cook lol. Soooo disappointed after seeing this on day tripper. read more

As I trek from Flower Mound to Kilgore for this year's Avalon Faire I took a long anticipated break at the Dairy Palace, going for the double beef quesadilla this time ! It came out quickly, and was delicious. As usual, they're busy and the parking lot is kinda full. read more

The meat tasted funny... sort of a mix between saw dust and freezer burn. Never had a burger be tough and dry like this before. Was it cooked and just sitting there? Are you using different meat now? Thumbs down! read more

The place is nice and clean. The staff was great. I ordered the bison burger with fries and a drink. I don't know what the hype is about, but it's not that good. The bison burger it's lean and I'm sure it's healthier, but it's not that flavorful the fries. They're not fresh cut. I expected a whole lot more out of the food for the price. You're better off going downtown to the barbecue joint on the Square now that place is worth it. read more

The atmosphere here is great--laid back and welcoming. The burger I had was really good, especially after adding a bit of salt and pepper. The ranch dressing was solid, and the salad was fresh (though it had a wild amount of tomatoes--like, a lot). The fried green beans were great! Fries were on the greasy side, and the chicken fried steak was... not it. The breading was weird and it was burnt, like it had been fried twice. I couldn't eat it, but to their credit, they quickly made me a burger to make up for it. Prices are on the higher end for what you get, and the portions aren't huge ($4.39 for half basket of curly fries), but the service was good and the staff handled the issue with the steak quickly. Overall, it's a cool spot with some hits and some misses. Three people $60.06. We will return for a burger and may try something else. I accidentally left my phone and the girls there were SO sweet and brought to me as I was getting in the car! read more

We went twice in 2 days. It's right on the highway. Long line out the door but it goes fast. Burgers were delicious--specifically the jalepeno and the 1/3 burger. Get the curly fries. Ambiance is crowded and a little dated but it's a family owned older restaurant. Women's bathroom is oddly configured. read more

Love this place. Fresh food cooked to order. Fast drive thru. Burgers and fries are great

Great bacon burger, very friendly staff! This place really deserves all the praise. Got the down home diner feeling! Music was perfect volume, not too loud. I'm sick of going into places and can't hear myself think. I was afraid it was going to cold because the a/c was blowing super hard at the order counter but where we sat was perfect! read more

Locally owned and operated since 1984. This place will bring you back in time. The fried mushrooms were amazing. I had the bacon cheeseburger and was not impressed. The small ice cream was only $3 dollars. Stop by this place if you are driving through the area. The prices were very reasonable and the food is just OK. read more

Was passing through when I saw this place. The elk burger was good Tater tots were also good I'd probably stop by again to try something else out. Service was good also I was in and out read more

The ambiance is fun, inside has a carnival feel. There seemed to be enough seating although the line to order was backed up to the door. They have a tv screen announcing the wait time fir food orders. The menu is very exyltensive and has a whole other counter for ordering Blue Bell ice creams. I ordered a patty melt and a chili dog. The patty melt only has meat, cheese on rye bread. The meat was not only lacking flavor, it was not juicy or fresh tasting. Very disappointed. The chili dog was better. I liked the chili. It cones with cheese, mustard and onions. I honestly could taste any onions or mustard. My hub hated his burger, only had a couple bites. Said it was so dry and tasted funny. Bro in law got the burrito and liked it. It just comes with meat and beans in it, covered with chili and cheese. The prices were good, just super disappointed about their touted "world famous burgers" being so terrible. read more

Whenever we are in Canton, we have to stop and get a double bacon cheeseburger and the best onion rings this side of the North Pole. Santa approved. read more

Dairy Palace - Bacon double cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - Canton, Texas

We have tried this place for breakfast and dinner. Breakfast was way better. Dinner was horrible. People taking the order were very friendly but the person that brought the food was extremely rude and pretty much threw the food on the table. Place was not busy but she definitely didn't want to be there. Husband had hamburger steak and it was dry. Baked potato was cold. I had a hamburger and the meat was so dry and the meat tasted off and was so overcooked. Tater tots were pretty good and crispy which I personally like. This place several years ago was very good but the consistency is what lacks in the food. It will be good for awhile and then it's horrible again. No we didn't tell a manager, it wasn't worth it, we just won't be back. read more

Stopped here on our road trip back from New Orleans. This place had almost everything. O ordered the bacon cheeseburger with Curley fries and Almond pistachio ice cream on a waffle cone. The burger was fresh with all the works and it was so good. The curly fries was hot and good. The ice cream was delicious. Gotta try this place out if you're passing by. Trust me you will not regret it. read more

Who hasn't been to the Dairy Palace? This place is LEGENDARY! I've seen more than a few of their stickers on famous musicians instrument cases over the years. In East Texas and beyond the grounds of First Monday, you can mention it and almost everyone will know it. The joy of Dairy Palace isn't the incredibly small bathrooms, the conservative messaging throughout, or even the twisty and turny drive through. The joy of Dairy Palace is that it's a hometown stop that serves countless folks year after year. The menu is like Dairy Queen on steroids. Want tacos? Can do! A burger? You know it! Fried fish? Coming right up. Flounder filet with rice and veggies (as pictured) you can get that, too. Heck, even THAT is coated and covered in butter. I love the shakes and malts counter. You can get so many different flavors of Blue Bell, and the malt is just that - a malt! I grew up out here, and I love stopping in when I go home. My arteries - they probably don't love it so much, but at least I can pretend when I eat my grilled to the point of basically being fried flounder. read more

Dairy Palace - Grilled Flounder is indeed grilled, but has a flour coating that gives it that "fried" feel. - Burgers Near Me - Canton, Texas

Pleasantly surprised. Food is really good. The staff is friendly and helpful. Family friendly atmosphere. This place is family owned and it explains the high quality of the food. They seem to take pride in what they do. Will be coming back when I pass through Canton again. Just fix the WiFi and everything would be perfect. read more

My parents have been stopping off at the Dairy Palace for 30 years and it didn't disappoint. Full of locals and passersby ready for a good burger. We opted for beef beef burgers but those on the more adventurous side could go for game. I love that they have a 1/5 lb burger. Just right for me! If you have an appetite, go for the 1/2 pounder! From the rest of the family - Fried okra was the bomb. Pickle chips a little over-fried, fajita burrito was yummmy, omelet and country breakfast are also recommended (Grandpa says nice large eggs, not dinky restaurant eggs). Go. read more

After a long day at the First Monday Trade Days, we couldn't pass up trying the local favorite: Dairy Palace. Boasting dozens of flavors of blue bell ice cream, this is a great spot if you've been traveling outside of Texas for too long and need your blue bell fix. Upon arrival, there were 2 lines moving swiftly worth walk up orders, plus a line of cars wrapped around the drive thru. Given the extensive menu, it was hard to choose - thankfully our server couldn't have been more helpful. She guided us deftly though choices on burgers, fries and milkshakes, adding helpful hints like "cream gravy goes so well with the French fries." We were in good hands. Sadly, they're facing the same staffing shortages we see around the country - bussing tables hadn't quite caught up to the busy dining room, but we're not afraid to roll up our sleeves and get to cleaning. Once we cleared a booth, our food arrived rather swiftly ~20 minutes. It was piping hot and we dove right in - cheeseburger and fries for me, 'cause I'm a purist. Both were delicious, hot off the grill, and paired well with my chocolate milkshake. The food and drinks are solid, and what you'd expect from a burger joint, with excellent service at the front of house - they just have a bit of trouble keeping up, which during Trade Days weekends is understandable. Cheers! read more

Dairy Palace - Exterior - Burgers Near Me - Canton, Texas

One of my favorite places to stop when roadtripping in Texas, ever since I was a kid! This place is always busy, which is a good sign (because it's just so good). Although it's busy, the service is quick & efficient! The atmosphere is based on their 4-H involvement around the town & surrounding areas, along with military appreciation, definitely a southern feel, so it's inviting. The business is family owned & operated since the 80's & I love to see new updates each time I go. The food has always been great in my opinion. The burgers taste fresh every time... can't wait to go back next time I head that way! read more

I stopped in to get something for hungry diabetic. I ordered small hamburger... they fixed this burger correctly but my "beef" was the quality of the beef.... never again will I eat a burger there I am thinking .. .. it had either been cooked the night before and they had the nerve to serve it to me that way or they had some sort of cow that, probably couldn't even walk they were serving up!!! It tasted like saw dust or something REALLY NASTY.... SHAME ON YOU AS YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE KNOWN FOR QUALITY BURGER!!! I HAD TO GET ON FREEWAY YO GO SOMEWHERE... I had to spit it out in my napkin BUT NEVER AGAIN!!! Mc Donald's mustery meat is better!!!! Never again!! Zero stars if I had the ability to do so!!!!! Grrrrrr! read more

This place was amazing. Very versatile. Many different meat choices along with a variety of other options. They also support Jesus which is a in my book! The hamburger was the perfect size for me and well made. My aunt ordered a hot dog and thoroughly enjoyed it. Her only comment was that they did not have sauerkraut. Even my dog got a nice Turkey burger. Overall we were very happy and will come back if we are in the area again. read more

I've stopped at Dairy Palace many many times over the years, my mouth watering for a great burger and onion rings. in fact, two days ago I suggested to someone who has never been there that we stop for lunch What a huge disappointmen! All 3 of us got a burger that was overcooked....very dry and tasteless. to make it worse, the onion rings were not hand dipped! they were frozen! read more

The burgers here use to be great, now just a former shadow of what they were. The beef patties are old and really not warm as if they had the cooked beef patty sitting out. I understand you need to serve people in a timely manner, but quality over quantity. Getting a hot, juicy, cooked-to-order burger use to be a big deal here. Now to get something fresh you have to order a type of burger, like an Impossible Burger, to be served hot. My partner and I even compared, again, the difference. It's sad. I wish they would bring back the elevator music. It was more endurable than the contemporary Christian music where they keep shouting "Amen" loudly as you attempt to eat a lukewarm burger. And some of the staff act like they have no marbles while others are extremely robotic. Just weird. The food use to be so much better, now it's just like any other fast food joint. At least the place is clean regardless of the tiny restrooms. You need bigger restrooms because some people are larger. I've watched 300 pound individuals struggle. And the ventilation in the restrooms could use some improvement. Come on, there are seats right outside that area and some of these people go back to take a #2 and blow-up the toilet. I wouldn't use religion to push a restaurant as Jesus would not be happy with this place. read more

Our stomachs were loudly protesting our decision to not eat before we got on the road! To say they were growling was a major understatement! So we pulled off the highway to grab a bite at a big national fast food chain. As we drove up to the chain location, the line was around the building! That was a bad idea! Then, I saw this place. It had a lot of cars around it, but the drive through line was short. The menu board was easy to read and we ordered a couple of items. Super friendly help while ordering and again at the window. The food was ready pretty quickly and it smelled wonderful! I ordered the breakfast sandwich and first bite was Heavenly! My grumbling tummy was SILENCED! My taste buds were giggling with delight! Seriously, really good flavors and the egg was the star! Price was very reasonable as were the portion sizes. EXCELLENT decision to come here! read more

We have visited this dairy Palace for over 10 years and they continue to impress! Friendly employees, delicious food and prompt service... Available 24 hours a day!

We love the vegetarian options, especially the veggie burger and vegan chicken strips! What a treat ! read more

After driving from Cali back to Texas, I found this place on my yep, Yelp search in the vicinity. You can't go wrong with a heavy burger to top off a long drive, knowing your going home to rest... umm Maybe... First off the parking lot was small so be ware. We walked in around lunch 1:15ish to a line full of folks ready to order a classic exotic burger, sandwich,, country breakfasts, menus for seniors and for kids too, and even Tex-Mex favorites. Oh and can't forget ice cream. World famous since 1984. I was really choosing, and opted for the Texas sunrise. It woke me up, and put me to sleep hours later. I can say, it was nice. Hubs said, the Bison burger was official This place is cool. I just can't have people walk n, standing in line watching me eat. The tables are literally surrounding where people wait to order the food. No big deal, during a less busy time. Trust, during my travels I'll be back for a lick of ice cream to complete my experience. read more

I went in and placed our order on 3/16/2024 at 5:58pm At 6:38 I went to the counter and asked about my order. They said it's coming. All other customers that sat down behind us had received their order, ate and had left. The 2nd round of customers that came in had received their food and were eating when I asked for a refund after 1hour of waiting. New to the area and will never go into Dairy Palace again. I'm sorry, they have to do better. read more

It's a great burger joint with exotic meats to try, such as bison, fish, etc. They also have ice cream too. It's a great place to stop by on your way. They also have a EV charger so you can charge your car while getting some burger or ice cream for a stop on your way. Note that I left my jacket here one time, called them later the same day, they said they found it in the employee back room. But I'm from out of town so when I came back a few days later to get it, they said no one even claimed that they had found it before. I think they have employees turnover, or that someone is not honest and took it from the locker room. read more
