All I can say is - wow! This was my first time visiting Victoria and while staying for a few days I realized pretty quickly the small town didn't boast too many unique options. However, every time I searched or asked about a place to try, Dairy Treet came up. The original location was not far from my hotel so I stopped just to try the ice cream and fries to see what all the hype was about. Well, I get it!! The ice cream had such an authentic milk flavor to it and was the perfect consistency and flavor, you can tell they've been serving it up exactly the same from day one. It was so good, in fact, I went back the very next day to try more! The steak fingers weren't the typical texture and fry you see on most, but felt more like a Salisbury steak (in a great way) and the gravy was the star of the show. Top off the food with a vibe that sets you right back to the 50's with the lovely architecture and tunes playing while you wait/eat - Dairy Treet is a treat for sure! I live two hours away and have already made up my mind that the drive every once in a while would be worth it! read more

Renovation in place, but where in the world did their amazing hamburger patties wander off to? I will still make my visit for the ice cream when I am in town, but take a hard pass on the hamburgers until something changes. read more

Been eating hamburgers from Dairy Treat for well over 20 years. One of our favorite places to go and always get shakes to go along with the burgers. Can't beat a family business for friendly service. read more

Stayed at hotel 2 block away, burgers were almost soggy by time got to room, fries way undercooked. Drive thru staff socializing with co-worker more than customer service . read more

Tolbert's Dairy Treet - Tots - Fast Food Near Me - Victoria, Texas

Great little old school burger stand. Normal fare here, everything is good that I've had. It's fun to take the kids and step back in time with them. If they behave we hook them up with some soft serve ice cream that is great. I get myself some even if they are don't, ha! read more

Delicious homemade jalapeño burger! Jalapeños cooked right into the patty and add cheese. Well worth it!

Great little hideout of a place to eat burgers in Victoria. Really enjoyed the reg dm cheeseburger, toasted buns and melted yummy cheese. My hubby had a jalapeño dm cheeseburger & said it was better than anything else he's had in Victoria. Delicious crinkle fries too. Love the old time look of the place and EVERYTHING was super clean. No trash anywhere. We will be BACK! read more

I grew up in Victoria, left for college, and my Daddy is still there. I love it when we get home for a visit. During out most recent trip, I "treeted" my husband and youngest daughter to Dairy Treet. Talk about a flood of memories! As we sat there eating in the car, I "thrilled" them with "back when" stories. The burgers were just so good, rave reviews from the newbies. I love that it simply has not changed much at all. Walking up to the window and seeing them pull the rope? I just smiled! The ice cream flavors on the wooden signs reminded me of holding my daddy's hand when I was too young to read, looking up at the signs and getting excited as he read what they had. My daughter got an chocolate/vanilla cone for dessert and my husband and I opted for the lemon sherbert. You know how tastes can just transport you back in time? It did...there is just something about Dairy Treet ice cream and sherbert that is just so uniquely delicious and different. It is hard to put into words but I know some of you are reading this and nodding your head. Thank you Dairy Treet for not changing a darn thing! The friendly service and amazing food keeps me coming back! read more

IMO this is the best burger in town. I don't know if they still fo it, but when I worked here in the early 80s they ground their own beef in the back. A butcher would carve off big hunks of lean beef and they would have to add the fat. That is why patties sometimes have holes-- less fat. If you come here you might as well go all in for the Jalapeño burger cheese all the way which only comes in Jumbo because they place chopped peppers between two patties and pinch it like a pie before grilling to perfection. Good enough for Elvis down from Ft Hood and Burt Reynolds who I serve Burt Reynolds. read more

Polite and quick. Yummy ice cream and burgers. Giving the the shrimp box and chicken salad a try.

So disappointed. Just picked up burgers ordered by phone. WHAT THE HELL? Although they still taste good, they are about HALF THE SIZE they used to be. So the solution to decreased business during a pandemic is to SCREW the CUSTOMER by drastically reducing the portion sizes? Even the Shakes were smaller AND there is a charge for using a credit card now. Wow. Not sure if I'll be back... read more

Ice cream was mediocre at best. Had an odd coconut flavor (but I got choc and vanilla twist). More similar to frozen yogurt than ice cream.

These are some of the best Texas style burgers in this part of the state. Juicy patties and nicely toasted buns. You could not ask for more. You must stop here when in Victoria. read more

This place was super good. Didn't realise until we started eating that we'd just beat the evening rush. Got fam in Victoria but this is the first time we've been. So glad we did! Got a juicy JUICY burger, with some steak fries (yes, pieces of meat country fried). Fries, Onion rings and a cherry vanilla shake - won't be doing the shake again. I love America but that was diabeetus in a cup. It's been there since the 60s apparently, and the staff are great at getting out the fresh food. Stay classy Victoria! read more

Great burgers and shakes. Onion rings are to die for. When Mr. Tolbert was alive, they breaded the rings by hand and the batter is thick and crunchy...still do. One of Victoria's fast food treasures. read more

My kiddos love Dairy Treet for the strawberry malts. My dad loves Dairy Treet because he remembers when you could buy a big, juicy burger with a shake for $0.25. I wouldn't say these are the best burgers in the area; We aren't in Dairy Treet's glory days. The employees are more concerned about getting the food out the window than creating a nostalgic experience. They still have good burgers, though, and I've never had anything from Dairy Treet that was BAD. Just... Not phenomenal. Still, we will always patronize the place when we're on that side of town, if for nothing else than to hear PawPaw talk about the good ol' days. read more

Very disappointed today I go to dairy treat haven't had 1 in a while. I'm standing at the window for about 5 minutes nobody comes over then a girl finally walks over to me and puts a sign in the window says .. next window ...seriously ..It would have taken you 2 minutes to open the window and say I'm sorry I'll get your order at the next window and at-least ask me my name I had a to go order.. I had to go around and wait in line for another 5 minutes... read more

BEST.BURGERS.EVER. I grew up on Dairy Treet hamburgers and pretty much lament every day that I live in DC, far, far away from the buttery goodness. And crinkle fries!!! Ahhhh, the crinkle fries. *tear* Get a burger, fries, shake/malt. Then go back and get the steak finger basket and another shake/malt. You won't be sorry. This is only a drive-in, though. You can sit in your car and eat, but no one's going to bring it to you. It's totally old school. And awesome, of course. read more

Nostalgia at its finest! Dairy treat is definitely charming, because it still looks like an old drive in and even has the 50's style display sign. Order at the window and prepare to wait. Burger, shakes/malts, and crinkle fries is where it is at. read more

The one star is due to the amount of time it took to get our order out. We called ahead at 7:50 PM, and just now got our food. A whole hour to get food out is beyond ridiculous. I understand places get busy, but they didn't even apologize for the long delay when I got my food the worker seemed irritated and over it. This is why small businesses suffer because of its customer service and the employees. Hopefully the second location gets it right. read more

A Victoria staple, unique and tasty. Great jumbo cheeseburgers, steak sandwiches and homemade ice cream

We were driving through Victoria and asked a friend who had grown up here for a recommendation for a burger joint. She sent us to Dairy Treet. It looks neat and vintage and you walk up, order from a window, and they call your number when it's ready to be picked up. So ok. We asked her for a "burger" joint and then ordered things that weren't burgers. I got a steak sandwich and onion rings. My fiancée got a chili cheese dog, a cheese burger, and tater tots. Our first reactions? For waiting as long as we did for that food, it was NOT HOT. It was barely lukewarm. This was about 1:00 or 1:30 on a Wednesday afternoon. They were not very busy. We dug in anyway. The first thing out of the bag was the chili cheese dog and it looked promising but my fiancée says, "Sonic is better." The one from Dairy Treet just didn't have very much flavor. I got into my steak sandwich next. Again, lack of flavor. The breading was kind of mushy and I should have asked but I just assumed there would be mayo or something on it and there wasn't. I didn't finish it. The tater tots were ok but would have been better HOT. The onion rings were TERRIBLE. It was like they had been frozen and thawed and microwaved. Gross gross gross. I threw them away too. Finally, my fiancée unwrapped the cheeseburger and that was by far the best thing we ordered. It was gooey and greasy but nothing spectacular. We definitely wouldn't have been AS disappointed though if we would have ordered all burgers. All in all, we decided we should have just gone to Whataburger. We KNOW that's gonna be good. I would not recommend this place. There have to be better burgers in Victoria read more

Favorite burger anywhere, Quality meat and the flavor is great. Their chili dog is one of the best I've had anywhere also. I like their crinkle cut fries and their milkshakes and malts are great. Every time I go back to the Victoria area I stop here for something, hungry or not!! Such an old school place and an institution in Victoria for sure. read more

Not the most prompt service. The food was okay. There was a variety but I stuck with a burger and fries. Unfortunately shortly after my stomach was a mess. A little bit of food poisoning I'm sure. Won't be back. read more

Really cool old.school.set up drive in but walk up to window to place order. Had the regular and jumbo double burger with cheese family fries coke, milk shake and corny dogs for the kids. All.came.to.20.59 not a bad price at all. Really.good place.to.take.kids for a summer.time out door treat..but have to say the burger at moos moos was more tastier to me in my humbl3 opinion. But wpuld return for the frozen treats and a cheep burger read more

Jumbo Cheeseburgers Bought two jalapeño cheese burgers The patties were really over cooked and seemed to be for small hamburger's not enough meat we were really disappointed. read more

If I remember correctly, Dairy Treat got voted best or second best burger in Victoria, Tx. This is true. Their good ole fashioned burgers and milk shakes are classic. So juicy and fresh. However, their fries taste like Ore Ida to me and their parking lot can get awkward sometimes considering it is an old fashioned park, get out, and order kind of place. read more

I grew up in Victoria and whenever I go back to visit(which is not often) I have to go here and get a delicious hamburger. And they have the best soft serve ice cream. Mmm, sherbert. The fries are decent too. read more

Ahhhh! Dbl bacon cheese burger. Three bites in and saving the rest for lunch tomorrow. Because I just had to try my fellow diners steak fingers & tots with chili & cheese. Both of which where yummy. I need to remember how much I like this place and make my visits more frequent. (Bests the heck out of the chains for sure). read more

Not your typical fast food burger but not the best either. The patties are a bit thin in my opinion and on the greasy side.

Delicious homemade burgers with fresh ingredients and the best ice cream and milkshakes in town. Gotta try the onion rings battered with Dairy Treets own homemade batter. read more

Food tasted old and microwaved. Onion rings were soggy. I ordered a chicken sandwich. The chicken breast was warm in the middle and cold on the outsides. The chicken was very lumpy and fatty. read more

You wind suspect this place is as good as in is, but those are usually the ones that may surprise you! Best burgers, awesome fries, and delicious shakes. Best burger joint in Vic by far. Always friendly service and great food! Highly recommend read more

I have loved drive up ice cream joints since I was a child. This one has all the trappings that pulled me in, but the ice cream on my chocolate sundae wasn't really soft, and the cherries and chocolate sauce tasted less than first rate. I was disappointed. I will be back, though, to try the lunch/dinner food, because numerous customers came up to order sandwiches while I was there. That seems promising, and I want to support my hometown businesses. read more

One of my favorite little spots to go!! Delicious food friendly staff! Best ice cream around yummm

I grew up in Victoria and Dairy Treet has and always still be the best! We visited for the first time in 10 years October 3rd 2014. Once again, still the best burgers and milkshakes! Awesome Awesome! Awesome! I know i will never step foot in Victoria again for any reason, but at least I can tell my kids and their kids about how amazing this place is! Perfection! read more
