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. read more

Dairy Palace has been a family tradition with us since 1985 when my wife and I began making frequent trips between Dallas and Tyler to see relatives. The burgers are characteristic of most Texas burger joints and service can be slow, but the fries and onion rings are not to be missed. As you might expect, the Blue Bell ice cream is the perfect topper. What you might not expect is that the owner seems to want to let you know his political ideology while you eat. He offers many bumper stickers for sale - some cute and some funny - but others hinting that using an AR-15 assault weapon is appropriate if you don't approve of the U.S. government. He leaves no doubt where he stands. When we saw the one saying "I love my country but fear my government" (with an AR-15 in the background) and another saying, "First Responder" with an AR-15 pictured, we left our burgers half-eaten and vowed to never return to Dairy Palace. Regardless of the tasty food, we find it off-putting when any business owner uses their setting to expose patrons to their personal religious and/or political ideology. read more

YUCK! I should have known better than to stick around after having to wait in line for 10 minutes just to order, another wait for a table, then over a 30 minute wait b fire a partial order came to the table. I ordered a chicken sandwich that came out raw and served in over greased toast instead of a bun. Tomatoes sliced wafer thin with a sprinkling of lettuce and extra mayo oozing out. My curly fries were the bottom of the bag but ended up being the best part of the meal. My friend had the chicken fried steak that turns out to be a preservative filled pre-formed frozen patty. I WONT BE BACK. read more

The burgers are where it's at. You can't go wrong with a classic beef burger. The exotics are all pretty great but honestly my favorite is the turkey burger. Not quite as heavy as the red meat options and better than any other turkey burger I've had. Curly fries with either ranch or the chipotle lime sauce are top picks as well. And of course there's a ton of ice cream flavors for dessert! read more

Thank goodness for gravy (on the side for my hamburger steak) so that I could eat them. The Mexican street corn was pretty good. My husband's club sandwich was dry and very mediocre. I was going to see if they could microwave the green beans, but she never came back to the table. Not once. While we were eating, the bar patrons all left. She still never came to check on us. I saw her talking in the kitchen for a while. My husband finally went to the kitchen to ask for our check. A few minutes later she brought the check and a to-go box. She did remove the extra side from the bill since the green beans were cold. She was friendly, but very slow. Overall, we will not go back. We were bummed because we wanted another dining option in Canton. Sadly, The Bunker didn't make the list.

Their fries are homemade and hand cut- they might need to be fried a little longer because some were soft or perhaps cut smaller but they were good. They make their sauces, dressings, soups, etc from scratch. My mom said even the salad croutons seemed to be homemade. I tried the tomato soup but next time i want to try the french onion.
