Dairy Palace

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!
The best burger and onion rings ever. It's the perfect quick stop if you are traveling on I 20... Do not miss it!
We love the vegetarian options, especially the veggie burger and vegan chicken strips! What a treat !

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.

The best burgers, hands down. Bison, hog, salmon, turkey, duck, chicken, and just plain beef burgers.
And then there are the fries and the fried green beans! Oh my.
And for dessert, Blue Bell ice cream!!

Best burgers ever! Friendly staff! Quick service and great prices! Love the drive in vibe here! Will be back!

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.

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.

Gets superrrrr busy here but the food always comes out quick and fresh. The place has nice decorations but looks a bit dated. Solid spot if you're traveling via I-20, not far off the freeway.

If you're driving through Canton, TX and see the Dairy Palace billboard with a tantalizing banana split, take the hint and pull in! My family and I did just that and we were happy with our decision.

Although we did have a bit of a challenge finding a spot to park our dually truck in the small and cramped parking lot (half of which was for compact cars only), we were greeted with a menu full of delicious options. Burgers, sandwiches, wraps, breakfast items, barbecue - you name it, they had it. The exotic burger menu looked particularly interesting, but we ultimately opted for the brisket sandwich, bacon burgers, and chicken rings.

As we waited for our food at a cozy booth, we couldn't help but notice the restaurant's love for the State Fair. Decorated with pictures of award-winning animals from 2013 and playing slideshows of the 2016 fair on their TVs, Dairy Palace definitely has a deep connection to this annual event.

When our food arrived, my wife's brisket sandwich was flavorful but a bit dried out, possibly from sitting out for too long. The bacon burgers were massive and delicious, but we ended up taking most of them home as leftovers. I ordered the double bacon burger with jalapenos and found it to be a decent backyard burger, with each bite packed with extra spicy jalapenos. The chalupa was just as good as expected, but the fried mushrooms seemed to have been left in the fryer for too long and needed fresher oil.

Our youngest enjoyed the chicken rings and fries, and we finished off our meal with a sweet treat from their ice cream bar. The Blue Bell ice cream was a hit, with the supreme banana split stealing the show.

Despite a few minor hiccups, we would definitely give Dairy Palace another shot and recommend it to others passing through Canton. With a menu that has something for everyone and a cozy atmosphere, it's definitely worth a visit.

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.

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!
