“This is a place you HAVE to go when in Tx. Their food is absolutely superior to all burger places. The ice cream is an added bonus. Everything they have is just super delicious & well worth it. My out of town family has this on their list of places to eat EVERY TIME they are here, it’s just too good.“

“On our way to East Texas for a Cousins Reunion, couldn't wait to cross into Texas so I could get a steak finger basket... one of my favorites!! We hadn't been in very long and just started eating, when my husband started choking on his nachos. It wasn't the food it was his throat issues! He went out the door and I ran to the counter to ask for a cup to take him simms water. I told the lady what was going on, she grabbed a cup and took off for the kitchen to get water!! Her name was Angie and she moved very quickly for someone in a knee brace! When he came back in and sat down, Angie came over to check on him and talk to us. He assured her it was not the food - it was just something that happens when he gets in a hurry. She went above and beyond in kindness, to help us!! We both appreciated her more than words could express!!
Great hire Dairy Queen!!“

“First off, whoever invented the drive-in concept deserves an award. Eating in your car just hits different—like a VIP picnic where your seat reclines.
The drinks? Elite. There are about 5,000 combinations and somehow I always panic and order the same thing… but it never disappoints. Food came out hot, crispy, and exactly what I needed (even if I didn’t plan on needing it).
Service was fast, staff was friendly, and my only complaint is my lack of self-control when I see the menu.
10/10 would pull in again. Probably tomorrow.“
