Dairi-O is a local North Carolina fast food joint serving food since 1947. 

Located just west of I-77 in Mooresville, Dairi-O started in King, NC as a popular hangout and great food. The small take-out restaurant grew quickly with several locations around the state and is still a local favorite. Known early for their hot dogs and milkshakes, the menu has expanded to burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, wraps, veggie burgers, salads, and ice cream. Much has changed since first opening Dairi-O but a few things haven't changed such as the commitment to deliver fresh, quality ingredients to customers in a fun, family-friendly environment. 

The menu has something for everyone. Starting with the hot dogs, there are four choices including a turkey dog plus 18 different toppings to choose from. Create a hot dog your way and make it a combo for fresh fries and a drink. There are six hamburger selections including a handmade veggie black bean burger. These are made with never frozen, premium quality beef and also comes with a combo of a side and a drink. There are several chicken options including sandwiches, wraps, tenders, and wings. For sandwich options, Dairi-O has a fish sandwich, BBQ pulled pork, BLT, grilled cheese, and a loaded bun minus the hotdog. For lighter fare, they have soups and salad options. The kids menu includes a plain burger, plain hot dog, chicken nuggets, grilled cheese, and corn dog and all come with a small fries and drink. Sides for all your meal options are French fries, sweet potato fries, cheese fries, chili cheese fries, side salad, fruit cup, cole slaw, and onion rings. 

Save room for dessert as Dairi-O is serving up hand-scooped ice cream, soft serve, dipped top, shakes, sundaes, floats, and flurries. Enjoy ice cream 32 choices like banana pudding, chocolate peanut butter, strawberry cake crunch, and toasted coconut which can be served in a cone or cup. 

 
This family-friendly restaurant is committed to family, service, community, and quality food and you can tell when you eat there. As a fast-food joint, I would choose this over other chains hands down. Go check it out for your next family meal. I promise you won't leave hungry.
