You can get burgers and shakes just about anywhere. However, for burgers and shakes from the Dairyette, you’ll have to travel a bit off the beaten path. Completely worth the trip, the drive-in’s classic fare of eats and sweets has been wowing diners for decades.
Like many of Arkansas’ best restaurants, the Dairyette is located in a small town. It’s in Mount Ida.
For a small town restaurant, a consistently packed parking lot says much more than any advertisement. With that in mind, the Dairyette’s parking lot say a LOT!
Just like drive-ins from the past, the Dairyette features a walk-up window for to-go orders. There’s also seating – indoors and out – for those who want to eat on site.
The menu is also reminiscent of drive-ins from yesteryear. Browse the selection, and you’ll find a slew of eats and sweets, including mouthwatering burgers.
A varied selection of sweets, which includes everything from towering ice cream cones to over-the-top shakes, ensures your sweet tooth won’t be disappointed.
