  • 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.

    They just closed our local DQ here in northwest Louisiana. I'm 64 and my mom took us there when I was in elementary school. Gonna miss it. It was the first one to come to Louisiana if I'm not mistaken.

    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.

    Back in the ‘60’s there was a Tastee-Freez and Dairy Queen near us, no McDonald’s. Both had good food. Dip cones were such a treat. My parents were addicted to “Peanut Buster Parfaits”

    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.
