For us, tradition is important!

historyThe Dairi-O tradition of serving great food in a fun atmosphere started back in 1947, in what was a hamburger joint in King, NC. That take-out restaurant quickly grew into a popular hangout spot, well known for its hot dogs and specialty milkshakes.

Today, residents of King take great pride in the fact that the Dairi-O tradition started right in their backyard. The unique restaurant design with a giant milkshake and two straws is more than just a gathering place where people come to hang out with friends and family while enjoying a great meal, it is a landmark of the community that commemorate the heritage of King and Dairi-O.

Much has changed from the day back in 1947 when Dairi-O first opened, selling hotdogs and hamburgers fresh off the grill. Dairi-O now offers healthier options such as specialty salads, grilled chicken wraps, veggie burgers, and more, to provide our customers a wider variety of delicious food options.

One thing hasn’t changed, and that is Dairi-O’s commitment to delivering fresh, premium-quality food to our patrons in a fun and family friendly atmosphere!
