I have been going to Dairyland and eating and hanging out for the last 45 yrs!! I have had everything on the menu and it’s all good! There is not a teenager from Alvin that hasn’t eaten and hung out here since 1960!!”

I told them what happened, and without hesitation, they told me to come to their location and took care of me. Thank you, Blue Bell!”

“Enjoying a Mother's Day lunch with Mom. Had the Pollo Laredo which was the featured Mother's Day lunch special. Was not disappointed with a plus order of Flan that came with the special. We also enjoyed the Pollo Mexicana. The Red salsa is served warm and has a good flavor. The Green salsa is served cold but is very delicious. Overall a VERY GOOD meal. The price per serving is very reasonable with ample leftovers. This is my second visit here and will definitely make it a regular stop when in Alvin Texas.”
