Dairy Queen restaurants across Texas are celebrating their 75th anniversary, including the location at 1835 W. Louisiana St., McKinney. In commemoration of the milestone, Dairy Queen is asking its customers to share their favorite DQ memories at https://dqtexas.com/anniversary.
“DQ restaurants in Texas have been part of the fabric of the Lone Star State’s communities for 75 amazing years,” Lou Romanus, CEO of the Texas Dairy Queen Operator’s Council, said in a news release. “Almost everyone I meet tells me about a particular memory they experienced at their favorite DQ restaurant in Texas. The anniversary of the DQ brand in Texas is a wonderful opportunity to share these stories with fans across Texas.”
Dairy Queen has Texas-specific menu items that cannot be ordered anywhere else in the country. The Chick’n Fried Steak sandwich, Hungr-Buster and BeltBuster burgers and Texas T-Brand Tacos are all fan favorites, according to the news release. 972-542-0480. https://dqtexas.com

Even in Ohio they had a pulled pork BBQ sangwich
When I was a kid you could get a nickel for doing chores like washing windows for neighbors. I would take that nickel and buy a cone dipped in chocolate from the Dairy Queen. It took about 45 minutes to walk there but it was worth every step.
i wished they retailed their taco sauce... something about that sauce that makes one crave it!
All I need is a cat, a sad romantic-comedy movie, and a couple of chubby, bespectacled women in their 40s and my night will be complete!
I loved it when my husband took us all to dairy queen after my prenatal appts :)
LOL!!!!
If there was an Olympic event for speed eating a Dairy Queen vanilla soft serve with chocolate dip, I’d have about 30 gold medals by now.
DQ used to have a pretty good Mushroom-Swiss burger, but it’s sporadic on the menu here. Hardee’s still has a good one, but this town is an interstate pit stop on the state line and is so overrun with fast food joints, they closed ours years ago. They need to get rid of half of them and put in a good steakhouse.
I was setting in DQ eating a cheese burger when I heard JFK has been assented.
I remember when Dairy Queen ran Mets promos in the 60’s. One of the oldest operating DQs still in the original slant roof building with the walk up counter is in Montvale, NJ
Ahh memories, going to the DQ after our Little League games.
Marshmallow sundaes.
yes they are hit or miss, but the good ones are good.
In the late ‘60s, a DQ was built about three blocks from my house. I was in Jr High. We thought it was pretty cool and several of us got to know the girls working there by hanging out and drinking Cokes and eating Dip cones. Well, we soon discovered that if someone called in an order and didn’t show up to pick it up, the girls gave whatever it was to us.
We weren’t dumb. I’m sure you can guess what we started doing occasionally.
I started working young. Saw my first “in person” female nipple there. Working in the kitchen as she and I were washing dishes. A button on my smoking hot coworker’s blouse popped open without her noticing. It was absolute perfection.
And nothing has been the same after that. To this day, when I see a Dairy Queen...
