The fried redfish was very good. They have lots of options like frito pie. I got friendly service and this was a good stop on my drive up north to Austin from Corpus Christi state aquarium. read more

Great little hole in the wall place with good home made burgers, I ordered mine with home made onion rings and man they gave a bag full!, Make sure you stop by this quaint little burger shack the next time your passing thru Taft Tx off Hwy 181. friendly staff, now its only outside seating but it under a roof so its ok to sit out there and have your burger in a nice breeze. read more

Decent food but staff is just plain rude. No customer service skills. If you want some overpriced food and a bad attitude with your above average food then this is your spot! read more

What a truly special spot this place will have in my heart. My grandma and grandpa grew up in the area and would come here on dates, now here we are and my family still comes here (their children and now us the grand kids) My grandpa has passed and to honor him my family orders the cheeseburgers here (10/10), I recently visited and the man in front of me said I HAD to try their fish tacos, let me tell you they did not disappoint!! They are quite large and it definitely filled me up! Thank you Dairy King for being awesome!! read more

Right on 181 at Industrial road in Taft Texas is an old school burger joint from a glorious time in our past. Delicious comfort food and delectable treats made by a family that appreciates quality and value. This establishment recalls a time in our past which gave birth to the original Whataburger (when it was really good) and ambitious car hops on roller skates , diners that filled you with satisfying food. Dairy King delivers fish sandwiches that rival anything you may have experienced. They don't deliver on skates but the filet is large and cooked perfectly in a lightly seasoned thin batter with just the perfect crunch, lovingly moist and delicious. I had a founder sandwich with crinkled fries .. satisfyingly delicious and filling. Look at how large the fillet was on my sandwich! Check the menu, they serve Blue Bell shakes!! read more

Been here twice and I'm addicted. First time had the redfish taco, second time redfish sandwich. Can't decide which I like better cuz they are both insanely great. Young lady taking the orders is also very friendly. Enjoy!!! read more

My youngest sister told me about this restaurant years ago. Today, as I was doing my GrubHub shift, I got a delivery in Taft. After I made my delivery, I stopped at the Dairy King on the corner of Industrial and Highway 181. I remember my sister told me the fish tacos were excellent. I ordered two flounder tacos, fried pickles and an order of Tater Kegs. Tater Kegs are, essentially, an oversized tater tot that is filled with cheese and bacon and seasonings. It is lightly dusted and deep fried. The end result is a light crispy outer layer with a rich creamy bacony center. You get 4 per order and they only have them for a limited time. We've all had fried pickles, some good, some meh and some bad. To me, a bad fried pickle is one that is overseasoned and has more batter than pickle. Dairy King makes their fried pickles out of thick, crunchy pickle slices and their batter is light with just the slightest seasoning. And now...the Flounder Tacos! Usually when I order fish tacos, I get a small tortilla, slightly bigger than the palm of my hand. It'll have a few chuncks of fish in it and some kind of foofy slaw on it. Especially, if I am ordering from some Austinized restaurant. I try to avoid those. Dairy King, on the other hand, gives you a flour tortilla with a whole filet! I ordered TWO thinking I was going to get some whimpy little scrap of a tortilla and some flakes of fish in a lot of foofy slaw! Size counts here but taste is ultimately what matters. The flounder had a clean taste to it, the breading was light and they didn't go crazy with the seasonings. You could still appreciate the flavor of the fish. There is some slaw on their fish taco but its not over done. The slaw is a cool and crisp bonus. The only thing I would do different is order the tortilla a little Charlie Brown. That's it though. Dairy King has a great product. read more

Love the REDFISH Tacos!! Nice place to get a lunch at an affordable price. Large menu, Nice variety !

10/10 Food and Service The catfish and chicken basket taste like they were caressed and had a final meal before being fried up and served. read more

We always stop here on our way in or out of Aransas Pass and the food never disappoints! It's always fresh, hot, and delicious! Love the fried mushrooms and fried zucchini! Oh and if you happen to stumble across the website linked to them on maps like I did, it isn't actually for their business. It's for some restaurant in Illinois. Food is still great though! read more

I highly recommend their redfish basket. My go to used to be their cheeseburger combo all the way w a banana milk shake, as a long time patron of this establishment I can honestly say the quality of the ingredients used in a huge part of their menu has gone downhill. read more

Love dairy king. It's a since family own business in a small town. The fish tacos are a must try. Awesome customer service.

DK is a little roadside drive-up burger stand featuring burgers and shakes, plus a bevy of tasty treats (hush puppies, fried zucchini, corn nuggets, snow cones, fried pickle chips, chef's salad, nachos, tacos, BBQ sandwiches, seafood and more.) Note: It's CASH ONLY, so don't roll up to DK expecting to use your big city debit card! Not a lot of parking is available and 2 picnic benches make up the outside dining experience. Eat in your car or take it on with you. Service was efficient & friendly. I had a cheeseburger, small chocolate shake and sampled the hush puppies and jalapeño poppers. Burgers are of generous size and tasty, made to order. My shake was very creamy & just chocolately enough. Overall, a great roadside burger experience at a great price. read more

19 years later we still miss Dairy King ! Best burger and fries in south Texas !!! Long live this landmark treasure! read more

Good ass food a little expensive but it's worth it people are nice good parking space

Don't let the unassuming exterior fool you - fried bliss and ice cream lies within. Maybe it's been awhile since I've had good seafood, but the fried redfish and flounder here were both VERY good. They have blue belle or blue bunny or some kind of ice cream that comes in strawberry. Also - their daily specials are pretty good also. I was in town for three days and I ate there twice. If you happen to be in the area - I highly recommend it! read more

This place doesn't look fancy, but they make the best food! I have enjoyed anything i have gotten here. The staff is really nice also.

Always good , love the nacho deluxe and they give you so much. You want a good burger this is the place for it with a side of chili cheese fries and a large cherry dr.pepper yes please and their red fish tacos to die for you wouldn't expect it to be very big but it is and they add some coleslaw with a little sauce in it and its just awesome. For the little ones the barney meal is always a winner with the choice of tater tots or fries and the corn dog is a winner too. My 2 top things I always have to get with whatever meal I decide to get is an order of their fried mushrooms or their veggie sticks with some ranch for a little dipping sauce and your set. A big winner for the family is obviously the burgers but also the chili cheese hotdog or a chili cheese burrito and the red fish basket and a jumbo shrimp basket. All in all this place is good, it is a small place leaving Taft but they don't disappointe it's the food jewel of Taft. read more
