Q's Dairy Sweet remains a prominent business in Crawford.
The business is located at 3554 Highway 20 next to Westco.
"It started in 1967, "owner Irene Hughes said. "They brought the main part in on a truck back then and had a little filling station too. That was the original dairy sweet. It was a franchise at that time. Its had six owners since then. I bought it nine years ago in September. And the previous owners, are the ones who started the barbecue. I just continued with it, and I've expanded a whole bunch."
Hughes said the Crawford Dairy Sweet location remains one of three or four in the country.
Panhandle Post asked Hughes what her best hamburger is.
"Well, you'd either have the mushroom and Swiss with grilled onions, that's real popular," Hughes said. "Or just our good old cheeseburger with whatever you want on it. You can have ketchup, mustard, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, jalapenos, Swiss cheese, American cheese, cheddar cheese, whatever. Our meat is never frozen and that's fresh cut."
Hughes said she enjoys the Crawford community.
"They're all good," Hughes added. "Everybody's nice to each other, for the most part. We all kind of watch each other's backs."
