  • Ever wondered where the oldest Dairy Queen in Texas is located? Henderson is the proud home of the oldest operating DQ in the Lone Star State! Surely that's got to be on The Texas Bucket List!

    30 years ago, DQ was my first job when I was 16 in Carrizo Springs, TX. I still have the skills of the DQ Curl and making the cones the way I did at work. He’s right, once you learn, you never forget. Brings back some great memories! I love it! Makes me miss Home - Texas.

    Dairy Queen is a staple here in Texas. Interestingly,I was surprised to discover that not all locations offer breakfast, because the DQ in my little town does. The kids get biscuits or breakfast tacos on the way to school.

      Yea it’s kind weird but in the state of Tx the hamburgers and other baskets are only sold in the state of TX . In all other states they just sell the ice cream and crap burgers. I crossed in to NM and there is a DQ there I figured it so close to TX it should have the same menus but it didn’t.

    A great bucket list would be old Texas restaurants that are closed now. One was Essary’s dairy mart in Coleman, Tx. It closed at least 20 years ago. Mr. Essary is still living. It was the best burger joint I’ve eaten at. He had a deep fried taco that was awesome. Also, the old Mr. Burger chain. I remember them in Coleman & Brownwood.
    Just seeing the old buildings and getting the info from the old owners would be neat.
