THE CHICKEN IS WORTH THE DRIVE!! I learned about "WHY NOT CHICKEN" from a family member and thought I would give it a try. Tonight was my first time visiting the establish so I was not sure what to expect. The staff members were friendly but the service was little slow I felt, despite the dining area being quite empty for a Friday night (see image). I highly recommend the rotisserie chicken! Quite surprised/ impressed by the flavor, as well as juiciness of the meat. I sampled 3 of the veggie offerings --- the mashed potatoes where lumpy with small bits of potato skins, (not instant) and the Mac & Cheese was creamy good. I will be honest- not a fan of the green beans tonight, not cooked enough for my liking, "waxy" to chew. Sandwiches and wraps available for lighter , smaller portion meals as well. Why not give WHY NOT CHICKEN a try.

Had to stop in and try the Why Not Chicken Salad and it was delicious! A friend had the pulled chicken sandwich and commented the smaller portion of fries vs. previous visit. Was a bit concerning how light lunch crowd was, but chalked it up our visit being earlier in the week. If crunched for time, pre-order and pick up at their drive thru window.

New restaurant, but the owner/manager has owned others. Very friendly service and a good variety of items and sides. Delish!

Best red velvet cookies around. Delicious warm. A little pricey but well worth it. I will buy them again.

Like all the Dairi-o's we've experienced, this one is also top notch. The restaurant was clean and…read morehas plenty of seating for intimate dinners or a large party of guests. The servers are always courteous and helpful. They're all well trained. We always enjoy our experience and food.

I'm not saying I'm going to try the food at every Dairi-o, but I'm not saying I won't either. My…read moreunderstanding is that there are 12 locations now, and that all are company spots - in fact, the company has very directly said that they are not currently offering franchise opportunities. The12 spots stretch from Jacksonville NC in the east to Hendersonville in the west! And there appear to be plans to expand into Greensboro, and perhaps Burlington. I like that these are company run operations, it can make quality controls matters easier to administer and monitor. Perhaps the biggest contributor to inconsistent quality at fast food chains is the quality control mandates are not vigorously enforced. The only major chain that I'm aware of that does insist standards be met is Jersey Mike's, and they have even suspended franchisee agreements of non- compliant stores. This is a very nice location, bright and shiny with easy access to drive thru or parking. I ordered two hot dogs, one with mustard and sauerkraut and one with mustard, chili, and onions. I don't order the combo here because I don't care for the FF. As usual the hot dogs were excellent, and I am becoming quite fond of the sauerkraut dog - the kraut has a nice bite to it. All in all this was a very good spot, perhaps the best Dairi-o I've visited.
