My very first job was at Dairy Queen in my home town of Hubbard Tx. So needless to say, I LOVE Dairy Queen. Through the years, it seems like quality, service and atmosphere have sadly depleted. I still keep trying new ones though. Mt. Vernon's Dairy Queen did NOT disappoint! The friendly patrons were obviously locals and had reciprocating friendliness of the employees. The long history of football team photos took me back to our home town Dairy Queen where my hubby and I graduated some 31 years ago. The restrooms were clean as was the dining area. The kitchen and ordering counter were fully staffed and there was very little waiting to be served. The food was hot and brought in a timely manner. Everything was perfect! Will definitely stop here again!

Drive-thru service was decent. Surprised they don’t have pup-cups. Come on guys! I still order a children’s cup for my pug and a plain burger for myself. Although I added my own cheese lol. The young girl how passed my order was nice. I liked her, she should be at the window.

Located right next to the highway exit. The restaurant was very clean. Witnessed the crew member cleaning the outside windows. The floor inside was clean as well as the restroom. The orders were cooked after you order. French fries were hot and crispy with a whole cup full of ketchup. The grilled chicken sandwich was piping hot. The burger was hot as well with icy cold lettuce. The $2.99 sundae was enough to complete a fulfilling meal. Highly recommended.

First time stopping here. Was greeted once I walked in, with a smile(Alejandra G. Was the cashier)! Order was taken, and repeated back to confirm it was all correct. I waited maybe 2-3 minutes for the food, and it was all very fresh. Fries were hot and the burger was great too! Service is top notch, food is the best! Atmosphere is amazing too. For a DQ, this place is the cleanest and best looking around. Even better than brand new builds. Keep up the great work and I’ll see y’all again soon now. Thank you, Your newest regular customer!
