DIPPING IN

Dari Dip, which began in 1953 as a popular walk-up ice cream shack, is now a full-scale restaurant that can accommodate guests in the on-site banquet room or at off-site catering events.

There is plenty of space in the back dining/banquet rooms for private events ranging from birthday parties to formal meetings of local organizations. The menu features more than just ice cream; there are plenty of items that are perfect for large groups and co-owners Don Benton and his son Donald can help plan any event so that everything tastes delicious and runs smoothly.

The restaurant’s regular menu offers a diverse selection from steaks to burgers, and for catering Dari Dip is able to be flexible, preparing specialty foods quickly and deliciously.

“We can provide the food and the service from the simple to the most complex,” Benton says. “We can customize their party to their specific needs.”
