Dairi-O

Dairi-O is a small, North Carolina chain of popular restaurants serving ice cream and “real food made simple.” At the Flat Rock location near Hendersonville, choose from more than 30 flavors of premium ice cream, including hand-scooped and soft-serve. Indulge in nostalgia by dipping your swirled cone in a hard coating of chocolate or butterscotch. Dairi-O began in 1947 as a drive-up hamburger stand in King, NC, and the Flat Rock location is its first in the mountains. It features a two-lane drive-thru, dining room and outdoor seating. Popular foods are all-beef hot dogs, hand-pressed burgers, fresh salads and wraps.
