Silver Grove Dari-Bar

HeyFirst time taking my husband there for their foot longs i i wanted to take him before they closed for the season so we decided to stop by while out running errands. Everything was pretty much the same and they did a pretty good job with the orders and keeping COVID safety most of the items we wanted were gone due to the end if the season, but all and all good food good service with the circumstances.

The summer favorite for everyone in NKY that takes you back to your childhood. I would go to the dari bar after sports games as a kid and still continue to go multiple times a year to enjoy the delicious ice cream and munchers (the best menu item). The menu offers foot longs, burgers, fries, shakes and cones. Everything is delicious, it's cheap, and it's quick. It's a fun, timeless place to go to on summer nights!

Dairy Bar with drive up or walk up. We came to get some sweet treats after having had dinner elsewhere, as it was on our way to our next appointment. The line next to us moved 3x faster than ours did. The young lady working was sweet, and our order was placed promptly. Prices are very reasonable. A number was placed on top of our car. We parked in the lot, and waited for our cones to be delivered. If ordering via drive thru, all cone sizes, with the exception of waffle cones, will come inverted into a cup. We were told upon ordering, so this wasn't a surprise. Everyone enjoyed their cones. Dole pineapple whip for the win! Always a refreshing choice on a hot summer day. Chocolate vanilla swrill had a rich chocolate flavor. Cones were crisp, not stale. It all hit the spot. I look forward to the next time I am in the area, and have an excuse to stop into the Silver Grove Dari-Bar again.

Being new to the general area, I was pleased to be told about this place that only operates for part of the year and offers some good old-fashioned Food a la Americana. It's easy enough to find right off of KY 8 aka Mary Ingles Hwy. There are two car queues as you pull in with employees there to take your order. You then pull into their parking lot next to the outdoor picnic area and wait for your order to come out. I ordered the chili cheese footlong and a sundae. I wanted to see how their chili stacked up against all of the other chili options around the Cinci area. It was pretty good but there was a lot of cheese on it so it was difficult to really taste a difference in the chili versus Skyline or Gold Star. Still pretty good though and it filled me up! I also enjoyed a sundae that had all the fixings and was good to boot. I'm looking forward to trying more next time!

Nestled along the river in Northern KY is the small town of Silver Grove. If you anyone familiar with Silver Grove where is a good place to eat? They will mention the Dari Bar. With very little competition and being located on the main road, this particular establishment is a local favorite. On this particular day I had the footlong coney hot dog with chili sauce, mustard, onion and cheese. In my opinion, this hot dog coney and sauce is so much better than any hot dog you would ever get at Skyline, Gold Star or Dixie Chili. Frankly, they are not even close. I also hear their burgers and ice cream are also delicious. The meal was inexpensive. There are picnic tables available or you can eat in your vehicle. I would suggest if you get the footlong coney,, ask for a fork and eat outside at the tables or take home. Try eating this footlong in a vehicle and you are asking for a mess.

We've made it an annual end of summer feast to make the drive to Dari Bar the week before they close (Labor Day) every year. This year was no exception, though it did look a bit different thanks to COVID-19. Instead of the walk up window, they've instituted a drive-thru. You order with the staff under a tent as you pull into the parking lot, then you park your car and they bring you your order. The staff were all super friendly and we felt incredibly safe. They all wore masks & gloves and the food was delivered in trays for no contact. Everything we've ever tried on the menu has been amazing, but I highly recommend some of their unique items, like the marshmallow milkshake and the jalapeño munchers, which were sadly sold out on our most recent visit.

I have loved this place since I was a kid and now love bringing my son here! The service is always fast and friendly and the food is delicious!

Great burger and shake! Try the Munchers (I think that's what they were called). Cheesy breaded tots. YES!!

Excellent food, best shakes & foot long chili dogs!! Been going there for over 50 years.

Anyone passing through NKY with time to spare has to try the dari bar in the summer!! Super cute small business that is still cash-only. The workers are always so nice to customers, and the ice cream is too good to pass up. Ever had kings island blue ice cream? It's here!!
