Family loved their food. Mine was not so good. Counter order but they'll bring to your table - family friendly and large groups are good here. Not sure if I will return but 3 out of the 4 of us will. read more

Be prepared to wait, but it's worth it. Order takers are fast, efficient, and accurate. A digital sign gives you an accurate estimate of the wait time to receive your food. Angus burgers have a great taste. So many healthy options including rice and beans, fresh fruit, black bean burgers, and steamed veggies. So many sides to choose from! Dinner plates are available for those looking for a full meal. And the ice cream choices after...no one else in the area comes close. read more

We waited 45 minutes for our food in the drive through. I guess they gave the order to someone else or forgot to make it? It was cold when it came out plus no bacon we had paid extra for. NEVER AGAIN. read more

I don't get it why they're "World Famous". I love the vibes and staff was kind but the burgers were not that great. I ordered just a basic burger to have a good starting point but this food is probably catered to older people. It is bland. Nothing special. I've had better burgers at a gas station. Its going on my Never Again list. read more

I've been going to Canton Trade days for most of my life, I don't know how I'm just finding this place. I seen it on the day tripper and decided I needed the Texas Sunrise burger in my life. OMG, it is a life changing experience. It was sooo good. I got the burger and onion rings which were fresh made. The burger was so big I could barely finish it and was really overstuffed when I was done. It had like 4 whole slices of thick bacon on it. Other burger places should take notes. Will definitely be back. read more

I love the vibe in here- it's not my first time visiting dairy palace and definitely won't be my last!! I wanted to get the fish but i thought it was slightly over priced but the ingredients are always fresh so that makes sense! i got chicken and the gravy was phenomenal!! thank you dairy palace for taking me back to a simpler time! read more

Pretty good, just about what you'd expect for a fast food place. Not much else to say. The fries are really good though

Very odd that I have the exact same breakfast each time I visit and today I was charged $4.00 more than yesterday. This happens often, never knowingly from one day to the next what I have to pay. read more

It's a must stop, and it never disappoints. While most of the family stick with their favorite burger and fries, I've ventured out trying the patty melt and pancakes and bacon. That may be the best pancake I've ever eaten. Hot and so fresh. Short stack has two enormous pancakes. Plenty! If you aren't rushing, save room for a milkshake or banana split. read more

Very great greeting. We went for breakfast and everything went very well. I got the Country Breakfast everything was cooked good and tasteful. read more

As I trek from Flower Mound to Kilgore for this year's Avalon Faire I took a long anticipated break at the Dairy Palace, going for the double beef quesadilla this time ! It came out quickly, and was delicious. As usual, they're busy and the parking lot is kinda full. read more

The meat tasted funny... sort of a mix between saw dust and freezer burn. Never had a burger be tough and dry like this before. Was it cooked and just sitting there? Are you using different meat now? Thumbs down! read more

Don't bother! The cheese on your burger won't be melted! The patty was burnt. It reminded me of being at a cookout at someone's house and they didn't know how to cook lol. Soooo disappointed after seeing this on day tripper. read more

The place is nice and clean. The staff was great. I ordered the bison burger with fries and a drink. I don't know what the hype is about, but it's not that good. The bison burger it's lean and I'm sure it's healthier, but it's not that flavorful the fries. They're not fresh cut. I expected a whole lot more out of the food for the price. You're better off going downtown to the barbecue joint on the Square now that place is worth it. read more

The atmosphere here is great--laid back and welcoming. The burger I had was really good, especially after adding a bit of salt and pepper. The ranch dressing was solid, and the salad was fresh (though it had a wild amount of tomatoes--like, a lot). The fried green beans were great! Fries were on the greasy side, and the chicken fried steak was... not it. The breading was weird and it was burnt, like it had been fried twice. I couldn't eat it, but to their credit, they quickly made me a burger to make up for it. Prices are on the higher end for what you get, and the portions aren't huge ($4.39 for half basket of curly fries), but the service was good and the staff handled the issue with the steak quickly. Overall, it's a cool spot with some hits and some misses. Three people $60.06. We will return for a burger and may try something else. I accidentally left my phone and the girls there were SO sweet and brought to me as I was getting in the car! read more

We went twice in 2 days. It's right on the highway. Long line out the door but it goes fast. Burgers were delicious--specifically the jalepeno and the 1/3 burger. Get the curly fries. Ambiance is crowded and a little dated but it's a family owned older restaurant. Women's bathroom is oddly configured. read more

Locally owned and operated since 1984. This place will bring you back in time. The fried mushrooms were amazing. I had the bacon cheeseburger and was not impressed. The small ice cream was only $3 dollars. Stop by this place if you are driving through the area. The prices were very reasonable and the food is just OK. read more

Great bacon burger, very friendly staff! This place really deserves all the praise. Got the down home diner feeling! Music was perfect volume, not too loud. I'm sick of going into places and can't hear myself think. I was afraid it was going to cold because the a/c was blowing super hard at the order counter but where we sat was perfect! read more

Dairy Palace - Bacon double cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - Canton, Texas

The ambiance is fun, inside has a carnival feel. There seemed to be enough seating although the line to order was backed up to the door. They have a tv screen announcing the wait time fir food orders. The menu is very exyltensive and has a whole other counter for ordering Blue Bell ice creams. I ordered a patty melt and a chili dog. The patty melt only has meat, cheese on rye bread. The meat was not only lacking flavor, it was not juicy or fresh tasting. Very disappointed. The chili dog was better. I liked the chili. It cones with cheese, mustard and onions. I honestly could taste any onions or mustard. My hub hated his burger, only had a couple bites. Said it was so dry and tasted funny. Bro in law got the burrito and liked it. It just comes with meat and beans in it, covered with chili and cheese. The prices were good, just super disappointed about their touted "world famous burgers" being so terrible. read more

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. read more

We have tried this place for breakfast and dinner. Breakfast was way better. Dinner was horrible. People taking the order were very friendly but the person that brought the food was extremely rude and pretty much threw the food on the table. Place was not busy but she definitely didn't want to be there. Husband had hamburger steak and it was dry. Baked potato was cold. I had a hamburger and the meat was so dry and the meat tasted off and was so overcooked. Tater tots were pretty good and crispy which I personally like. This place several years ago was very good but the consistency is what lacks in the food. It will be good for awhile and then it's horrible again. No we didn't tell a manager, it wasn't worth it, we just won't be back. read more

Stopped here on our road trip back from New Orleans. This place had almost everything. O ordered the bacon cheeseburger with Curley fries and Almond pistachio ice cream on a waffle cone. The burger was fresh with all the works and it was so good. The curly fries was hot and good. The ice cream was delicious. Gotta try this place out if you're passing by. Trust me you will not regret it. read more

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. read more

Pleasantly surprised. Food is really good. The staff is friendly and helpful. Family friendly atmosphere. This place is family owned and it explains the high quality of the food.

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! read more
