    Nicely bagged
    Fred B.

    If you are looking for a great hot dog, Dairi-o is a solid choice. This company, which has been in operation for 78 years now, has seen its menu gradually expand to included a variety of sandwiches, salads, soup options, and wraps. But the heart of this restaurant chain remains where it began - hot dogs, burgers, and milk shakes. The hot dog remains a clear winner in this area - and there are some very good hot dog houses in the triad, stretching all the way to Burlington to include Zack's! I ordered the Hot Dog Combo, which in retrospect was a mistake - the FF are as plentiful as they are awful - overcooked strands of non-flavor. I got a dog with mustard, chili, and onions and a dog with mustard and sauerkraut. These were, as usual, good hot dogs. This was a nice experience. This is a nice location, with a get in and out that is nice.

    Hand scooped sundae with chocolate peanut butter ice cream, sugar wafers, whipped cream, hot fudge, and a cherry!

    Went for a late night snack and got a hand-scooped sundae. I always get their chocolate peanut butter ice cream and it's TO DIE FOR!! The restaurant is always clean and tidy, and the workers are always kind and helpful. Any food you get will probably be good, but definitely get the ranch, which is also fantastic!

    Very solid choice in fast food. They have a pretty wide range of food, including your typical fast food choices, healthier options like salads, several soups, and even vegetarian options like a black bean burger. I've tried a lot of things here, and have no complaints across the board. My old usual order was the Chicken Souvlaki. It's one of those things that taste more "real" than fast food normally does. Fresh, hearty, involves vegetables. I've also gotten a grilled cheese and tomato soup several times when I want something different. Lately, I've been in a burger mood. The burgers are perfect: not too greasy, but not dry. Buns toasted. A good variety of toppings to choose from. The fries are crispy and well seasoned. I dip them in ranch, which is also very good here -- it has that homemade taste and texture. They have a big dessert menu, and serve anything you'd get in an ice cream shop: floats, sundaes, shakes, banana splits, dipped cones, etc. They serve both hand scooped and soft serve ice cream, and I have never tried one I didn't like. One time, someone was picking up food and accidentally ordered me a banana pudding milkshake instead of the banana split I asked for, and even that was delicious. I thought it sounded disgusting and was mad about the mixup, but I ended up drinking the whole thing. The inside of the restaurant is spacious and clean. In short, Dairi-O coming to Archdale is one of the best things to happen here. Definitely on the pricier end of fast food, but well worth it.

    This is my fourth time eating at Dairi-O and they NEVER disappoint! The food is high quality and fresh every time. The fish sandwich is my absolute favorite. It takes a little longer than everything else as it is made fresh to order, but it's worth it every time. I do suggest adding condiments such as tartar sauce, cheese, etc. The vibe is friendly and welcoming, like a small town diner with a modern twist. Everyone is friendly and helpful if you have any questions about menu items. Will definitely come back again!

    Apple Crisp Chicken Salad. Lots of large chunks of meat, fruit, veggies.  It was a large salad.

    Dairi-O First time visit to the restaurant. I was impressed. It's a fast food restaurant, but it seems to be of higher quality than most other chains. I played it safe and ordered a Monster Burger, a strawberry shake and onion rings. My wife had the Apple Crisp Chicken Salad. The burger was very good. The meat had a light texture to it, it seems like it was not overly compressed or handled before putting the patty on the grill. The flavor was good, no special seasonings I could tell, but that's how I like my burgers, lightly seasoned. It made the beef flavor stand out more. Very juicy, but not greasy. The veggies were plentiful and the lettuce was dark green (yes, I had to mention that as most similar restaurants do not have that...just a nice touch). Unfortunately for me, the lettuce started to wilt before I could begin eating it (takeout order). Everything on the burger was very good and high quality including the sesame seed bun. The onion rings are definitely recommended. Large thick slices of onions fried well and not greasy. Just some salt on them and that was enough for me. The strawberry shake was very good. You can see the strawberry pieces (lots of them) in the shake, so the flavor was very pronounced, which was a good thing. They also give you a good amount of food (and quality food) for your money. For the salad, it was large too, with nice sized chunks of apples, chicken and other veggies. My wife mentioned the vinaigrette dressing was nice complement. The inside of the restaurant was very clean and well lit. The staff were very personable and smiled when I arrived and when I received my order. They were also very accommodating in answering my questions, as this was my first time at that chain. I would definitely go there again if I'm in the area. Unfortunately, there are none near where I live...for now at least.

    Dairi-O's food is always great and the place was super clean. My main complaint was the large soft serve was much smaller than the other locations do. I specifically stop at Dairi-O all the time for the purpose of soft serve and would love if the large size got bigger to compare to other locations. I was also disappointed with the amount of sprinkles because he really only put it on one side. Service was a little bit rude and not friendly but it wasn't anything terrible. Just a bit disappointed compared to other Dairi-Os.

    Menu - 2025

    Love Dairi-o. Best fries, onion rings, ranch and grilled cheese sandwiches in town!!

    Big foot long hotdog (all the way) and Chili Cheese Fries

    Fairly busy place, wide open space with a contemporary industrial design with the theme colors of Red, Green, gray, and brown. The observed immediate customer base is on the older side, think early 60s. If you like the idea of stadium food, but don't like stadium quality and prices, then definitely give this place a try. Its got the basics of Burgers and Hotdogs, as well as its derivatives such as fish sandwiches, BBQ sandwiches, and chicken sandwiches. If you have a more greener palette, they offer salad options as well. For alternative tastes, Chicken wraps, and a Gyro wraps are also an option. The Mediterranean options are decent quality to where I will order again. There are also three different soup options. If you're craving grilled cheese and tomato soup. The part this place is known for : Its the ice cream. There are 27 flavors that I've counted and a wide variety of ways to prepare it. I went for the strawberry cheesecake. General experience: its in the same conventional layout and ordering system akin to ordering at McDonald (ordering up front part, not the kiosk) Price range is about $10-$20, so its a fairly affordable place to eat out. Orders are completed in about 5-7 minutes.

    I get the talk about Dairi-O now. The burgers are nice and fresh and pretty legit. Just the look of it, you can tell it's a high quality fast food burger. Seasoned well, perfect toasted bun and all of the toppings were correct. Fries were good too, wish they were seasoned more. Menu is quite extensive and I hope their hot dogs are equal quality of their burgers. This Archdale menu has double lanes which makes things quicker than it should (I'm sure they get very busy). Will be back to try more items.

    DOUBLE COMBO!

    Food is 10/10..Burgers are cooked to perfection and they give you to many fries if theirs such a thing as too many fries..lol service is always top tier. Please build one in Greensboro.

    Cynthia R.

    Absolutely loved this place! My first time there and it was so delish! I got the two hot dog combo all the way. So yummy. And got a cone of the campfire s'mores ice cream, it was amazing. This place would be great for an old school feel date night, or solo or just out with friends for quick yet delicious food.

The soft serve / fro-yo flavors are a little odd, in my opinion. There are more "unique" flavors and less of the classics I generally gravitate toward. But they let you weigh hand scooped + toppings the same as you would fro-yo, so the addition of that variety makes up for it. There are a handful of both indoor and outdoor tables, all kept relatively clean (not sticky!!). They don't let you get your own samples (the person behind the counter will come out and get it for you), which some people might not like, but I appreciate because it is more sanitary. Prices are pretty on par with other places, and they have the price-by-weight posted on the wall. I appreciate the transparency.

They answered my questions with positive attitudes and even did not get annoyed by my son who can get overly excited about sweet treats. I hope to visit again.

As before, I give this a resounding 5 stars. The menu has changed a little bit since I last wrote a review, and I've tried some new items. I have yet to try anything that I didn't like. My new go-tos are the raging chicken salad on a croissant and the berries and cream pastries. If you read my previous review, you will see that I was working up the nerve to try the chicken salad, because I'm somewhat meat-averse at times, and also don't like heavily mayonnaised foods, which is a big risk with any of the so-called "salad" items (potato, chicken, tuna, etc.) in life. I can now confirm that the chicken salad is 1) not overly mayonnaised and 2) made from not-gross chicken (I have no further explanation for this, but picky eaters will know what I mean). It's relatively light, has a nice texture, and is flavorful. It is one of my favorite weekend lunch items (or weekday, if I'm working remotely and in the area) now, not just here but in general. The berries and cream pastry is delicious and I would eat everyday, or even multiple times a day, if my figure and my wallet could afford it. Sweet, rich, flaky. Definitely one of my favorite dessert / sweet snack items currently. I also got a birthday cake made here and it was absolutely gorgeous (and delicious, obviously). Very well executed and totally got my vision. As I said before, there is plenty of seating inside (outside too!) and the volume level is perfect -- lots of people coming through, but quiet enough I can read, study, or do work. We spend several hours at a time in here some weekends. Highly recommend to anyone in the area or passing through.

Or if you are hungrier, consider one of their salad or sandwich options. I ordered an iced Irish Moo latte with oat milk from their featured menu and was not disappointed. If you are unsure what to order, ask the barista for a recommendation; you will not be disappointed. While you wait for your order, I highly recommend browsing the gift shop.

It is located in a small strip mall off North Main Street with plenty of parking. The front of the Ice Cream Shop is decorated very lively and you can see how much they appreciate their High Point University customers from a large welcome sign they have up letting them know this. The first thing that got my attention when I went in, besides how clean and organized the place was, was the great variety of offerings they had. I've been in order Ice Cream Parlors that serve Hershey's Ice Cream before and was aware of the many flavors they have to offer, but here besides the 64 flavors, they seem to have a variety of ways to have your ice cream, as well as other items such as smoothies and frozen lemonade, just to name a few. And to motivate you to explore the different ways of having your ice cream, they have pictures on the wall showing them. Even though the place was small with very few tables and chairs, it was already decorated for the Fall with colored leaves all over and small pumpkins on the table, creating a festive ambiance in which to enjoy some good ice cream. A young lady greated me with a smile and gave me a warm welcome. Since I was in the area to attend a Dinner Party that evening, I didn't want to get anything large; just a medium size cup of a nice flavor ice cream. The employee was so nice and helpful that when I asked her about a flavor besides explaining it she offered to give me a try on a tiny spoon. I tried the flavor Road Runner Raspberry and I instantly loved it. I invite you to view my photographs accompanying this review to read about what this flavor contained and see for yourselves how good it looked for a picture is worth a thousand words. I enjoyed having this wonderful flavor ice cream and the High Point University sign in the entrance made me remember my college years in Boston and Cambridge, Massachusetts, and how much I enjoyed going out with my friends for some ice-cream. I highly recommend this Ice Cream Shop and thank the owners of this family-owned business for providing this sweet spot where members of the community can come to spend some quality time with family and friends while they savor some good ice-cream.
