With the holiday season in full swing, families across the Scenic City and North Georgia are coming together at their favorite places – and one of North Georgia’s sweet spots is Dari Dip in LaFayette.
With more than 60 years as a family-owned business, good food and good times are what Dari Dip is all about, according to Don Benton.
“I own the restaurant along with my son, Donald Jr.,” Benton said. “We’re more than just an ice cream shop. You name it, and we’ve done it.”

It’s easily spotted – and even noted – for its vintage building that was formerly a walk-up service window and for its bright, classic neon signage.
The local favorite is ideal for a Christmas business lunch, family outing or church group tucked away in its cozy private dining room. Or, if you prefer having meals brought to you, they have plenty of catering options suitable for any budget. Menu choices range from tasty appetizers, including cheese sticks or potato pancakes, to classic entrees such as chicken-fried chicken, a shrimp platter or country-fried steaks.
