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!
@@triciajumonville7741 - The headquarters is located in Minnesota, but it is *from* Illinois actually. The state with the most Dairy Queens is Texas, but the state with the most Dairy Queens per person is Minnesota
What an outstanding story not only about Dairy Queen’s oldest location in Texas but Henderson as well! Very nice people indeed! All the best to everyone there was a guy in Western Canada!🇨🇦
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.
Thanks for the memories!! My sisters and I used to walk to the DQ on Bowling Highway (I think) in Wharton, TX. We each got a chocolate-dipped cone and brought dad change from the dollar he gave us.
I'm from Texas but have lived in Jacksonville, FL since 1995. We have a Dairy Queen a few blocks away and I was disappointed when they didn't have the DQ Dude on the menu, and they'd never even heard of it.
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.
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”
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.
McCart location Fort Worth. Go there. Your order will be wrong. And if your number 4 in the drive thru expect 25 minute wait. Spoiler: Staff is all Black
